Tell us something about clocks
and begin at the top" writes one of
our readers. Thus perhaps the big
gest job of story telling in the field
OF American antiques is lightly be-
slowed on us. The story of Ameri-
can clock making could not be told
well III less than 20 volumes. MY
good friend, Lockwood Barr, has
written at least three volumes on
the history of just one company.
The story of American clocks is
more than the story of making
beautiful and accurate timepieces.
1t is the story of mechanical in
genuity, of mathematics and horol-
ogy. And 1t marks the beginning
of mass-production methods in the
world.
American engineers began saving
time making timepieces. And then
they branched out and invented

Memorial Hi Prepares for
Bivabik Game Here Friday
Keeps Slate Clean by Defeat
ing Eveleth, 3O-13; Still
Tied with Gilbert.

Riding high, wide and handsome in
district 81 competition after its 3O-l3
defeat of Eveleth, the Memorial high
school basketball team is all set to
meet the challenge of the Biwabik
club on Memorial court Friday night.
A preliminary between the seconds win
start at tbs O'Clock, followed an hour
later by the main attraction.
But while Ely was winning, Gilbert
also took its game last weekend, de-
feating Aurora 1928, to continue the
tie for district honors between the
two. At the same time Biwabik was
losing to Virginia, 26-1e.
Biwabik defeated International Falls
48-16, for its only win of the season.
and has lost to Gilbert, 30-25; Tower,
1886; Aurora, 1925, in an overtime
period, and to Hibbing, 1927. BIZ
wabik's average margin of defeat was
only points, making those four losses
loom quite small.
Ely's margin of victory over Eve
leth was one and a half times the
total margin of IL points compiled in
the previous four games. Al Logar and
Ed Grahek with four baskets each
tied for scoring honors.
Eveleth, along with some close
guarding by Ely and considerable hard
luck on shots, was good for only two
baskets, getting both in the final
minute of the first half During the
other 81 minutes of playing time the
Hilltop team could garner only 9
charity losses. In the meantime.
spanked by Logar and Grahek, Ely
was ringing up u goals and 6 free
throws.
Over confident and expecting little
opposition, Ely slouched through the
first quarter with 4-3 lead and did
little better in the second, the half
ending in an 8-8 tie Some wei chosen
words from Coach Steve Smrekar at
the intermission put them on the right
track and during the second half
they tossed in % points.
With Ely well in the lead, Coach
Smrekar used the last two periods to
give his reserves a taste of competi-
ton, sending in seven of them for a
workout
Logar's points kept him on sop OF
the pack with total Of 80, while
Grahek went to second with 20. LLOYD
Bird, who was credited with points,
is third with "a, and George Perko-
vich fourth with 81.

BUCKEYES ONE-HAND
SHOT IN ONE SECOND
WINS HARVARD ONE

Swishing in a one-hand shot in the
last second of the regular playing
period, Edward Jimmy Buckley, star
guard on Harvard university basketball
team, put the Crimson's game with
Army into an overtime period last week,
and Harvard came from behind to
win, 44-40.
Besides accounting for the all-im-
portant two points at the right mo-
ment, Buckley sent nine field goals and
four free throws through the hoop to
score half of Harvard's points before
he went out on four personals half
way in the overtime period
With five games won, Harvard was
undefeated after the Army fray, but
Friday dropped its first game to Dart
mouth, 34-31.
Not including the Dartmouth game,
Buckley had scored 70 points in five
starts, or nearly Is per game.

Next to the Ely center, the indi-
vidual work of Carl Perpich, Crosby
guard, had the fans on edge. Perpich
seemed headed for an all-conference
record himself until the final quarter
when he tired rapidly and failed to
score a point. During the first three
periods he racked up seven baskets and
three charity losses, as he and Franti
tied for honors with II points each.
Perpich out-maneuvered and out
dribbled most of the Ely team until
he was forced to call it quits. While
his work bordered on the individual
star kind, it produced the points that
count, and more than once dribbled
the length of the floor to ring up two
points.
Crosby took the enormous total of
81 shots at the basket, with Ely close
behind with "a All told there were

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
COST: 3 CENTS
BY CHARLES B. ROTH

be just three pennies. That is all
three pennies.
The large advertising appropria-
tons come when business, through
the help of intelligent advertising,
becomes so great that it's annual
volume runs into many millions of
dollars a year. But whether an adj
vertiser spends $4,000 a year or
$4,000, 900, his percentage remains
the samoan average of per cent.
The amount of money spent in
advertising well-known products is
so small as to be ridiculous, when
you really know the facts.
Take oranges. How much do you
suppose the growers spend to ad-
vertise their product? A third of a
cent per dozen is all.
A national cracker baker reveals
that he sets aside only one-tenth of
a cent to advertise a package of
crackers, while the manufacturer of
a soft drink spends 6/100, 900 of
a cent in advertising five-cent
glass of his product.
The manufacturer of a medium
priced automobile spends less than
8 per cent for advertising-he spends
only $12 in making 81, 600 sale.
And even this small amount, this
three cents on the dollar, isn't an
expense, an added premium on the
business. BY spending three cents
out of every dollar for advertising,
the manufacturer or merchant can
sell for less and give you more
for your money.
