NEW YORK, Nov. THE stock
market brushed off an early recovery
attempt today and the majority
of leaders extended yesterdays sharp
decline by fractions 10 a point or so.
The news, generally, seemed fairly
comforting, but tax selling, espe-
cially in low priced issues, combined
with the usual Friday tightening Of

week end, served to restrict upward
tendencies in most departments.

the start but failed TO follow through

to rest, and did many other novel
tricks. 1t has been appropriately
called "the clock that does every
thing but think"
This clock is IL feet tall. four
feet wide and 80 inches deep and
is made of 5000 pieces of wood
taken from 80 different trees "a
tree for each inch in depth, so TO
speak. More than two miles of
fine wire regulate the intricate
mechanism. The material alone
cost over $4,000 and the clock is
valued at ten times that amount.
While it has many unusual fea-
lures not found in timepieces yet
it is very practical for it was
made by a man who spent years
of study and research before even
drawing up the blueprints.
The clock was created by Mar
vim Shearer in his workshop in
Akron and is the result Of pa
tience, tenacity and time. He
spent Is months just drawing
sketches and the final blueprints
and seven years actually building
his masterpiece. Now he has
thrown the prints away to make
sure that there will not be
another clock to match il.
In more detail the clock does
some of the following: At a
quarter to the hour, the chimes
peal soft and low. At a quarter
after, a harp sounds sweet
melody. On the hour and the
half hour, reedless pipe organ
plays.
The clock pays tribute not only
to the memory of Lincoln but to
the other martyred Presidents as
well. namely. William Mckinley
and James Garfield At the OK
act hour Of McKinley's funeral
the clocks organ plays softly the
beautiful hymn Lead Kindly
Light" At the time of Garfield,s
services it plays another hymn,
Gates Ajar"
The small figures Of Uncle Sam
and the Goddess of Liberty leave
their pedestal once every hour,
enter elevators on each side of
the face of the clock, descend TO
balcony join hands and go for
a stroll around the base of the
I clock. This base is a model of
Akron's new passenger depot and
it is encircled by a miniature

the station is an electric-con-
