pear in the above picture - so the
record speaks for itself.
"Your statement concerning where

from being correct. For the past
two years I have spent all OF my
time in Arizona, with the poSSlple
exception of about thirty days
which I spent in California attend
ing to my business interests JUST
like many other Arizonans do VINO
have business interests in other
states.
However, my residence has al
ways been in Nogales, Arizona
where I have maintained nome
for over 38 years, (since 1889 ana
where nv main business interests
are located. It is true, prior to the
past two years, I spent some OF my
time in California, where made a
few dollars, brought them back ana
invested them in Arizona for the
purpose of developing my State.
'"The record of the Bisbee depor-
tation stands and certainly you
know the people fully understand
that such an outrage could not have
been committed in sovereign State
I if Governor Campbell had really
wanted to stop it.
"Your editorial appears to be pre-

CLOCK CASES BUILT
TO FIT MACHINERY
Timepieces Popular in Co.
IoniaI Days Had Fa.
nous "ReguIator."

The banjo clock was q case built to
1T . set of works. The latter could,
however, be housed In other cases,
writes DR.. Hugh Grant Powell In the
American Collector. So came the
"banjos under the skim" with all the
timekeeping values Of the true banjo
ut less cost. There was, for example,
the mirror clock, one Of those dual
purpose pieces favored by Americans
from the Pilgrim Fathers down to the
present time. Here one had highly
decorative mirror and good time
piece all in one. Other clocks with
banjo works included the coffin type,
certain notifications Of the act OF
Parliament clock and regulators, the
latter being "ali works and no play"
OF course, mirrors were not uncom-
mon in clocks. There was the bronze
fooking-glass clock. the shelf clock
with mirror in lower door in place OF
q picture and various other decorative
uses of mirror glass.
These should not be confused with
the true mirror clock, however, which
Is a type unique in itself. Funda-
mentally, the case was mirror frame
Of the Sheraton type. It had half
round turned colums at sides, top and
bottom, and the corners were deco
rated with brass rosettes. The main
or lower section was usually fitted
with q mirror. Occasionally picture
was used instead. A clear central
circle, around which were painted
leaves, shells or other simple design,
took the place of the customary paint
cd glass picture in the upper part.
Through this circle could be seen the
Clock dial and hands.
This clock, of course, like all others
with banjo movement, was designed
TO hang on the wall. Its Dimensions
were a little under 80 inches high,
IA inches wide and inches deep.
The dial circle was about SIS inches.
The hands were of the spear or cross
type, with occasional variations. The
dial was plain enamel or painted
wood. II the latter, it might be or
namented. Ordinarily the case was
hardwood or pine. Mahogany was
used only as veneer. The front OF
the case was treated like the mirror
frames Of the period. That is, the
wood was given a coat Of gesso "a
thin coating of plaster Of Paris), then
gilded and the half-round pilasters
lacquered in black. Sometimes these
we're touched with gold-leaf orna-
mentation for added effect.
The mirror clock probably origi-
aated near Concord, N. H. There is
little real evidence as to just when
they were made. Clock makers, like
their. wares were very durable and
their dates are, accordingly, of long
span. Timothy Chandler Of Concord,
N. H., dates from TITS to 1840. His
son, Abiel, was from 1929 to 1883.
The true mirror-type was made about
1910 or slightly later. Paralleling the
later banjo clocks, it was probably de-
vised for variety and lower prices.

New ood.Control Method

A new method Of determining the
effects Of rainstorms and the prob
lem Of upstream control Of food water
has been developed, with the result
that an entirely different method of
approaching the future is now under
consideration.
Results Of the observations indicate,
DR.. G. 8. Thornthwaite of the Soil
Conservation Service explained. that
the intensity Of rainfall during sin
gle storm varies from locality to local
ity within the storm area. The varia-
ton from sopt to spot Is considerably
greater than had heretofore been
known. This means, he pointed out,
that previous rainfall records based
on less frequent observations Of widely
spaced gauges, provide an inaccurate
record of the actual amount of water
falling upon the land. It has there
fore been impossible to gauge possible
flood peaks with any degree OF
accuracy.
The new measurements were made
by 200 farmers on relief In Blaine,
Kingfsher and Logan Counties
Okla. Employed by the service and
given elementary training as weather
observers, these farmers, living about
three miles apart, were supplied with

But how about those flying snakes which Mr. Johnson tells about in this fashion. . s"ThOSe snakes grow to eight feet long and they dive from tree to another. They flatten their bodies and sail through the air. They turn their necks like boats rudder to guide themselves and when they want to stop they just land and s if they were equipped with hydraulic brakes. ." We once wanted to believe in hoop snakes.
