in progress in q small country 1t

for the soldiers on one side. The chief
officer in charge of the purchasing de-
partment was fully aware Of the neces-
sity Of economy so he decided to make
an investigation to determine accu-
rately the needs of the army. When
all reports were completed he found
that two per cent Of the soldiers were
one-legged and half of the rest of
them always went barefoot. Knowl-
edge Of this fact saved over-purchas-
ing. How many shoes, not pairs. were

When Bart Hodge, vain youth OF sixteen,
alights from train at Fardale. he stumbles
over half-blind dog and in rage kicks
the animal. The dogs owner. Tad Jones,
small, shabby boy who supports his Wid-
owed mother, denounces him. This nettles
Bart and he slaps Tad. Frank Merrtweu,
an orphan Of Hodges age, prevents him
from further molesting Tad. Although the
two do not come to blows, Hodge sneeringly
says they will have to settle their difier.

Fardale to attend Fardale academy. While
Hodge consults Joe Bemis. truck driver for

start walking to Snodds place. Presently
the Snodd truck, with Hodge driving, rum
bles down the road and kills Tads dog.
Occupying a room next to MerriWellS IN
the Snodd home is Barney Mulloy. who dis
likes Hodge. They become good friends.
Merriwell offers to help Mulloy get into
ing to Professor Scotch, friend of Merri-
wells Uncle Asher. AS they leave the
house that evening Hodge is talking to INA
Burrage, a friend of Belinda Snodd. Later
they meet Tad, who now has another dog.
That night Bart Hodge crashes a party
given by Belinda Snodd. Hodge sings and
the lovely INA Burrage plays the piano.
When Merriwell, seated on the porch with
Mulloy, sings a comic song, Hodge rushes
out. accusing him Of insulting INA. She
steps between them, telling Hodge that Mer-
riwell is too cheap to deserve his notice.
Next day Merriwell and Mulloy rush to
grove on John Snodd's farm to warn a pic
mic party that large dog which Silas Glea-
son gave Tad Is mad and running amuck.
Hodge tries to convince INA that this is just
a trick of Merriwell's.

Then she burst into tears.
Tad Jones had crept forward,
keeping his eyes turned away from
the dead dog. 'They all skedad-
dled!" he cried shrilly. "Ev'ry one

know what was happening, but he
came back when he found we
weren't with the others. Somebody
better take look at Miss Bur-
RACES ankle to see if it's broken"
"Huh!" grunted John Snodd. II
guess we better examine your arm
first, young man. Being bit by a
mad dogs heap worse than break
ing a leg"
Bart Hodge had always hated and
feared dogs. The feeling was so in
tense that it had become what is
called a phobia. He did not know
the cause of it himself. It lay,
probably, in some forgotten Incl
dent of his very early life.
No animal is quicker than a dog
to sense fear and dislike in a hui
man being. He is quick, too, to re-
sent it, and he shows his resentment
or contempt.
It seemed to Bart that thousand
dogs had let him know what they
thought of him. They had leered at
him with scornful eyes, they had
sneeringly given him look at their
teeth, they had shifted disdainfully
at his heels, and two or three of
them had nipped the calves of his
legs. Not one had taken a good
bite. They had acted as if they
were not sure they would like the
taste.
There was, therefore, an undying
feud between BARLEY Hodge and all
dogs. All his life he had looked
forward with dread to the time when
bad luck would force him to meet
mad" dog, but he had never seen
one until the day of the picnic in
Snodd's grove. And now he hadn't
waited to meet him.
Hodge was out of the grove and on
his way to any place where the
crazy dog wouldn't be liable to come
before he fully knew what he was
doing. He realized it suddenly. A
picture of himself at that moment
flashed into his mind. II stopped
him as quick as he could put on the
brakes.
He turned round and saw several
of the frightened girls coming after

Decimal Clock Devised; Astronomers
Use 1t to Measure Time Conveniently

We divide the day into hours,
minutes and seconds. For ordinary
human purposes this is convenient
enough; for scientific purposes,
particularly when long intervals Of
time are involved, intolerable. As
tronomers prefer the Julian calen-
dar, according to which days are
numbered from January l, 4713 B.
c., and fractions of day are deci-
mails, with the day beginning at
Greenwich mean noon. An event
which occurred on June I, 1887, at
SO minutes and AZ seconds past 8
p. m. standard time would have &C.
Cured at 2428686. 35882 J. D., notes
a writer in the New York Times.
Astronomers and navigators use
this Julian system. Hence they re-
Quire conversion tables. But time
and trouble are involved in trans
lating ordinary time into Julian
time. Hence the decimal clock
which Prof. Warren K. Green has
devised for Amherst's astronomical
observatory. The astronomer reads
it as he would any clock and sees
where he stands according to the
Julian calendar.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1937-11-26

Professor Green's clock looks
more like big speedometer than a
clock. In simple box six digits
appear. They represent 100000
equal parts of the solar day. Every
time 0.864 of a second elapses by
ordinary time the last digit gives
place to a new one.
This decimal clock is driven cleo
trically by a synchronous motor so
geared that it turns a wheel thou
sand times a Julian day. On the
circumference of this wheel are 100
equally spaced contact points. Each
makes an electric contact when it
passes given point. Thus impulse
counters can be operated at any
point in the observatory.
The impulse counters are much
like mileage recorders. On their di-
ais numbers appear consecutively
every one-hundred-thousa part
of the mean solar day. At any in
slant the dial indicates the day and
the decimal fraction. For example,
9 hours 80 minutes and SO seconds
would appear as 0.39625. When 0.864
seconds have elapsed by ordinary
time the dial would read 0.39626
