Early Clocks

In the evolution Of time measure
ment you hear of the toothed wheel
popping up around 300 B. 9. By
145 B. c., clever Ctesibius in Alex
andria, combined the toothed wheel
with the water clock. Around the
year 99e Pope Sylvester, it is said,
kept time with clock Of his own
design which he made at Magde-
burg. Six hundred years later, in
1888. Calico discovered the prin-
ciple of the pendulum and thereby
blazed the way for Huygens of The
Hague, who, in 1867, presented to
his government the first pendulum
clock ever made. Huygens No. 1
pendulum clock literally sounded
the alarm for the rapid evolution
of the clockmaking art. Chrome
meters are made for ships which
are so accurate that they err less
than a second day.

drawing up before the stalled car,
"that you'd feel that way. Because

Tempered Plate Glass
Impervious to Weather

Glass is a fusion of minerals
sand, soda, ash and lime. In the
making of plate glass the huge
plates are rolled out or automati-
cally drawn through rolling ma
chine, brought down to normal
temperature and then ground and
polished so as to present two per-
fectly parallel surfaces.
Illuminated safety glass is really
two pieces Of thin plate glass, be-
tween which are sandWiched a thin
sheet of tough transparent cellulose
material.
Tempered or heat-strengthened
glass is identical in it's chemical
composition with that of ordinary
plate glass, from which it is made.
The difference in the physical
properties of tempered glass is
characterized by five advantages
over ordinary glass. 1t Is approx
imately in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, it will bend far beyond the
breaking point of other glass, it can
be twisted to marked degree, it is
impervious to sudden changes OF
extreme temperatures and If broken
under severe strain it crumbles into
innumerable pieces, much like rock
candy, relatively harmless compared
to the sharp, jagged slivers of ord1-
nary glass.
The glass to be tempered is sus-
pended vertically from tongs, the
panes moving on conveyors through
electric furnaces. The panes are
heated to a cherry red, near the
malleable stage, and are then sud-
denly quenched by blasting the sur
face with jets of cold air, produc-
ing a highly but uniformly strained
condition in the glass. High COM
preston is developed on the outer
surface of the glass, while the in
terror is under tension of pressure
in the opposite direction.

Wild Elephants Live in
Communities or Parties

In the wild state the elephants
live in communities or family par
ties which may number anything up
to forty animals. Herds of hum
dred have been known, but are I'M
usual in that strength. These herds
remain together for years, and ex-
list in state of continuous friend
ship that is rare among any other
animals. Because of this fondness
for company elephants are rarely
kept solitary.
In elephant country the natives
will tell of "rogue" elephants and
their doings. These animals travel
alone for the simple reason that
they have made themselves objec-
tionable to the community and have
been driven out. They go savage,
and will charge men or other ami
mails on sight, trample crops, raid
villages, and wreck huts. They re-
main a menace to the natives until
hunted down and killed. Other ele-
plants of the African species be-
come solitary for different reason.
The tusks of elephants continue
to grow through life, and the more
aged find it difficult to carry the
weight Of 200 pounds and more Of
ivory and keep up with the younger
members of the herd. They have
to drop out and take to the soli-
tary life.-Montreal Herald.

Later, rushing along the country
road:
Miss Leonard, it was the luck
lest thing in the world for us that
my car broke down and you had
courage enough to stop. Otherwise,
we'd have been presented to each
other at Mrs. Burnham's party and
would have taken distinct dislike
to each other"
"Would we?' said Wanda.
"Of course. Don't you see what
I mean? Mrs. Burnham built you
up to me, and built. me up to you,
with the result that we were both
determined to dislike each other
from the start. That's psychol-
ogy.''
"And the way things stand, we've
fallen in love with each other?"
The young man turned to look
at her quickly, attracted by the
family sarcastic note in her voice.
Surprisingly he said:
"Why, such things aren't impos-
sible, you know"

They had entered Wheelerville
and were nearing the Burnham es-
tate. Wanda wheeled into a fill
ing station.
Lets both go in here and get
washed. You can send some one
back for your car and then walk
over to the house. Mrs. Burnham
would die if she were robbed OF
the thrill of presenting us to each

The young man got out.

ded pleasantly in reply to Mrs.
Burnham's introduction. Fred Yam
cey's eyes held a whimsical look.
"Where?" he asked, "have I seen
you before?'
1T must have been somewhere
in the dark" Wanda complied, 'be-
cause your present face isn't one
bit familiar to me-"
Mrs. Burnham laughed merrily.
She could appreciate joke. Be-
sides, darling Wanda was always
saying the oldest things. Through
out the evening she watched her
young prospects with bright, hope
full eyes, but had to admit disap-
pointment. Wanda appeared dis
interested and Fred was certainly
not acting his usual self. Why, at
times he appeared almost queer.
She sighed heavily. Another fail
ure to fret over.
The party, however, was quite a
successful affair. When it was over,
Wanda went to her roadster and
found young Mr.. Yancey sitting in
it.

Hes young and handsome and a
writer. He's been everywhere. Ex-
tremely interesting"
Wanda smiled at the memory, alb
sently trying to remember how
many of Mrs. Burnham's extreme
ly interesting young men she had
met and found decidedly boring.
Dear, sweet Mrs. Burnham, always
trying to make a match, and dis
tressed because she'd failed to do
so with Wanda, yet stubbornly re-
fusing to give up.
Automatically Wanda gave the
wheel a quick turn as her head
lights picked up an object in the
road. The object was stalled au-
tomobile, and beside it was a man,
gesticulating wildly. Obviously the
man wanted her to stop, and in
that moment the never-ending warn
ings of a doting mother and father
against such things flashed through
Wanda's mind and she made
quick decision. She stopped.
A grease besmeared but youthful
face thrust itself beneath the road
ster's top.
Hello" said a pleasant voice.
"Sorry to stop you this way, but
I'm stuck. Engine trouble. I'm due
at party up in Wheelerville in
fifteen minutes, and l wonder if
you'd give me lift?"
"How about your carr" Wanda
asked.
The young man grinned.
It'll be safe. No one can start
it. I've practically taken the motor
apart trying. Are you going to

Eyes. Let me look at the motor.
I'm mechanically minded and love
tinkering."
Much to the young mans as
tonishment and dismay, Wanda
climbed out of her roadster and
looked under the hood of the stalled
coupe.
"Heyl Don't do that! You'll get
all messed up!'
"Um," said Wanda. "Have you
looked into the gas tank?"
! "Of course. It's nearly full"
"1n that case the trouble-why,
look, there's a broken wire!"
The young mans jaw fell open.
"Shucks! And I've been rubber
ing in there for half an hour and
didn't notice It"
'Have you got knife?"
Eyes. But I can fix it"
"Let me-" said Wanda. II love
tinkering." She took the penknife
which the young man produced and
proceeded to splice the wire ends.
The young man watched her in
mingled amazement and incredul-
ity.
| you're certainly a remarkable
girl" he declared when the job was
finished.
| Remarkable? Why?'
| Wanda brushed strand of hair
from her forehead and left a
smudge Of grease.
Because you're not afraid Of get
ting your hands soiled, for one
thing" He laughed. "I'm a writer,
and swear if I portrayed a girl
such as you in story the public
wouldn't believe me-"
Wanda stared at him.

said it caused the young man to
peer at her intently.

asked her blunt1y.

BOOSTS
LABOR SHARE

NEW YORK, Sept. IT QN.S0.
The share of each dollar received
from the sale Of its products paid
by the steel industry to employees
in the form of wages has increased
by more than so per cent since the
beginning of this century, the
American Iron and Steel Institute
announced today.
For each dollars worth Of
products sold last year employees
received IL cents, while IS years
ago only 81 cents out of each dol
lar of sales went to pay rolls.
During the same period the pro-
portion of the industry's sales in
come collected in taxes by Fed
eral, State, and local governments
increased about 800 per cent, from
half a cent out of each dollar to
Az cents.
At the beginning of the period
stockholders received 1871 cents
out Of each dollar Of sales, but in
1895 they received only ~ cents,
the institute said.
In 1929, when the average an
nual earnings of steel employees
were the highest of any year on
record, pay rolls took IS cents out
of each steel dollar, a percentage
which has been exceeded each sue
ceeding year, the institute reports.

DETROIT, Sept. 17.-With
many Of its rusty constitutional
bolts frightened to prevent further
embarrassment by youthful liberal
factions, the American Federation
of Government employees today
launched a 12-month campaign to
rebuild breaches opened during the
fourth annual convention.
The convention, most hectic in
A. F. G. E. history, closed last
night after nine hours of strenu-
Gus debate and delegates today
were en- route to their homes, not
to reconvene until September Of
1887. Philadelphia will be the next
convention city.
Officials, headed by President
Charles Stengle, were forming
plans for either reaffiliating or re-
organizing lodges in emergency
agencies where charters were re-
voked by the convention on
charges Of subversive activity and
communistic influence among
membership.
A. F. of L. Help Sought
To effect this, aid of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is to be
sought. Conceding that elirnina-
ton of some 800 members in Wash
ington alone for the alleged mis-
deeds of a few is unfair, A. F. G. E..
officials by a resolution passed late
yesterday are to ask President
William Green Of the A. F. of l..
to assign a representative to work
with a member Of the A. F. G. E.
executive council in bringing the
banned members back within the
fold.
The five District lodges whose
charters were cancelled Tuesday
and the Department Of Justice
lodge executed" yesterday are to
be given the chance to return to
good standing if they will return
with the proper attitude" Off
Gals said. Liberals, through
their spokesman, Henry Rhine,
indicated they were appreciative
Of plans for the pardon" but
nevertheless probably will carry
an appeal of their own to Presi-
dent Green.
Check On Liberals
Little chance loomed today that
there will be future Liberal activ-
ity of a nature such as kept the
organization in hot water during
the months eX-PreSident Claude
Babcock was on leave. True to
their decision reached before the
convention began, the A. F. G.. E.
executive council induced the con-
vention to put plenty of teeth"
in the constitution to keep the or
ganization on an even basis hence
forth.
Other important changes also
have been accomplished. Officers
no longer will be recalled, accord
ing to a resolution adopted yester-
day, but will be subject to the
quicker and more effective method
Of suspension should charges be
proved against them.
Before closing, the convention
adopted a definite program to be
presented to the Seventy-fifth Con-
greSS, deemed to be more concise
