Al Pangman the well known express and water man, announc- ed this morning that the water well is now in shape and delivery of clean sparkling water in being made once more by his water tanks, to the people of Nome. The house covering the well was burn ed to the ground Christmas night and owing to the stormy weather tt was found impossible to haul another building until Friday. Mir. Pangman wishes to state that he is indebted to the Lomcn Reindeer Corpora ton for new type of pump which greatly assisted him in replacing the well in active ser vice again. It is the intention or purpose of MT. Pangman to place three water wagons on service immediately to handle his business and that arrangements are being made to make delivery of water early in the day instead of con suming the whole day to care for users of this most excellent beverage.

It is high time that some move ment was made to correct the time followed by the principal business houses, school fire department, city clock. federal and city offices, telephone and telegraph offices and once for all have an under standing so that they may all keep an official time. It is very annoying to the school children to find that they have left their homes in plenty of time to be on hand at the opening of school on
 ly to find that they are tardy, The same can be said of older people when they make a business call according to schedule, only to find that they are either 10 or 15 minutes ahead or behind time. The city of Nome several years ago purchased the street clock from segerstrom and Hagen and by action of the city council ii was to be considered the official tipe of the city, but like airmen eAFsbo6y wants to have sheir own time and as consequence here s general mixup. MT. Harry Hagen of the jewelry store has agreed and is perfectly willing to keep the big street clock in front of his store set at official time if some arrangement can be made daily or otherwise to cen ter on the radio time received daily from Washington. D, C. The city council meets next Monday night and it is to be houed that some action will be taket bv the city fathers to adjust this matter.

Olds Covers

Sheets OF steel fed continuously
through q battery Of ten heavy
presses are, in a few short minutes,
transformed into triple-hinged hoods
for Oldsmobiles. This operation Is
but n example Of the eliminating
of lost motion ard efficient methods
used in the manufacture OF auto
mobiles.
Every unnecessary movement OF
men or materials add 10 manufac-
turing costs and, necessarily. in
crease the price to the consumer.
The elimination Of this lost motion.
combined with engineering achieve
ments. has done much to make the
manufacture Of automobiles the
country's leading industry.
In the manufacture Of Oldsmobile
hoods. the powerful presses are
ranged ia a dual battery Of five in
line. one side ~fabricating the tops
and the other line pressing out the
sides Of the hoods.
Sheets Of steel are placed in the
first presses on each Of the lines ard
simultaneously two tops and two
sides are cut. These slide on a metal
table connecting with the second IN
tine presses. A workman passes
them through the next press where
the hinges are formed. They then
are taken up by workmen and pass
ed through the next press and this
same procedure is followed TO the
fifth press where. after the final
operation is completed. workmen
place them on convevor trucks to be
taken 10 the assemblers.

CHOICE COTTON
USED IN TIRES
Fisk Gets Its Fiber From
American Cotton Belt
And Egypt

The tire companies are probably
the worlds most discriminating pur-
chasers Of raw cotton. The modern
automobile tire requires cotton Of
particular fineness in order to pro-
duce a cord exacting in its require
ments for strength, uniformity. flex-
Utility. and stretch.
Most OF the cotton used in the
manufacture Of automobile tires Is
obtained from specified sections OF
the American cotton belt and from
the Valley and delta Of the Nile
river in Egypt. an interesting Fisk
Tire bulletin points out. From Egypt
the tire companies purchase what Is
known as the variety Ashmouni.
noted for its strength. fineness and
degree Of uniformity.
In the selection and approval Of
cottons. the Firk Tire company
maintains at its New Bedford Divi-
sion a cotton CHASING department
store where trained specialists judge
or class the raw cotton. This Is in
itself quite an art and the ability 70
perform this work is acquired only
after years Of experience. No ma
chine or device has yer. been devei-
oped which could determine the
values or quality OF cotton.
Cotton for use IN tires NAV be
classed only IN daylight. Another
peculiar feature OF this work Is that
standard atmospheric conditions
must be maintained in the room

as the cotton fibre Is very suscep-
tibie 10 moisture.

won by a team Of three Fords; and
IN Glass G. composed of drivers
entering the race for the first time,
a Ford was again victorious.
Extraordinary conditions under
which the race Is run make this
contest one of the most interesting
held anywhere. The distance. over
600 miles. runs from Gothenburg, on
The west coast. ove a wide curve
through the forests and hilly parts
az middle Sweden as far north as
Gavle on the east coast. and from
there along the coast to Stockholm.
Slushv stretches Of road were
followed by slippery. wind-swept
lanes covered with ice. At times the
rars were half hidden by snow. Du-
ling the night the temperature was
20 degrees beow zero.
Cars in Group "A were required TO
maintain an average speed Of from
"a 10 81 miles an hour. But. because
Of driving conditions. IL was neces-
sarv at times 10 attain SO miles on
the narrow, snow-covered and wind
inF roads.
Fifteen minute stops were hermit
ted AZ A number Of control stations
along the route. Aside from these
the onlv rest allowed was an hour
and a half about midway the run.

POPPIES

On this page is cartoon urging Amer
leans to buy poppies on Poppy Day."
which will be observed in this city tomor-
row.
The cartoon pictures veteran, handi-
capped by the injuries received in war.
1t may appear somewhat exaggerated to
those who do not know, but to thousands
of Americans who dc know the condition
of their disabled comrades, the cartoon
will not Appear any TOO strong.
Disabled veterans in hospitals make
the poppies and receive the benefit of the
money which they bring. In this city, the
Legion Auxiliary will have charge OF the
SALE purchasing the poppies from the ma
tional organization at fixed price, the
money being turned over to the use OF
the veterans. A slight profit between
the cost to the Auxiliary and the sale
price of the poppies, is used by the Aux
iliary in local charitable work among dis
abled veterans and their families.
Many Americans generous enough in
all ways, but afflicted with short men,
ories. do not know that thousands of
those who answered the call in 1917 and
1918. are in hospitals. Many of them
have been there since the war. Think OF
that! Twelve and 13 years on a hospital
bed or in wheel chair! Who wouldn't
want to buy whole carload of poppies
to help them? Other veterans have tried
to resume their civilian life but have been
prevented from doing 80 by the handl-
caps of war and they too are in hospitals.
The poppy will always be reminder
of the World War and lis immortalized by
Colonel McRae's beautiful poem, I'm
Flanders Fields.
A nominal sum is asked by the Auxil-
iary for the poppies. Most of us can
double or Triple it without being hurt in
the pocketbook, and can be assured that
any money given to this cause will be
wisely and efficiently spent.

SUPPOSING THEY STRUCK

The movement VIII not spread, but
heaven help the country if it should
Worse than any threat of Commun-
ism, low wheat, high tariff, Wall street
failures or anything else is the movement
instituted in Denver yesterday by nine
married women, who ''struck" left their
husbands and children, and hied them
to the home of friend for a vacation
and relief from the dull routine of their
lives.
When one stops to think of it, the Won
der is that wives and mothers haven't
done it long ago.
1t is rather unfortunate, however, for
the cause of the women in the present
instance, that they are not running away
from the humdrum housewifely tasks
such as cooking, baking, sweeping, wash
ing, ironing, mending and all the other
'ings" that the wife and mother knows
so well.
They seem to be particularly peeved
because their morning or afternoon
bridge games are interrupted by the
clock, warning them to hurry home and
prepare lunch or dinner. They are weary,
they claim of teas, parties and the in
consequential talk of society
Because of this they are not likely to
get any great amount of sympathy or en-
couragement in their strike and are in
danger of being labeled mere faddists or
seekers of notoriety.
But what if the real dyed-in-the-wooi
mothers should follow their example?
