by Bus Company
Asked Stopped

Immediate action on the proven
ton OF illegal parking in front OF
personal property on West Jeffer-
son avenue by Greyhound buses was
demanded by Councilman William

three buses parked in front Of his
home most of the day and night.

been dropped, Councilman Dahlka
said.
Leslie A. Doan, village engineer
was instructed to contact the ODT

tinued.

Showers are
Blamed for
Watch Repairs

COLUMBUS, o. U.H-If the
handspring in your watch is
broken, the odds are two to one
that a stray thunderstorm Is to
blame.
Leading Columbus jewelers.
and watch repairers today aired
their age-old theory that main
springs break most frequently
after a thundershoWer.
AS proof they reported that
during the warm months-the
season of thundershoWers-their
handspring business increased at
least 100 per sent over the win
ter months.
Sidney c. Howard, watch
repair for 38 years, said that the
rapid change in climate and
atmosphere after a thunder
shower caused the main-pring
to contract and break.
HAPPENS IN WINTER, TOO
He said that the same thing
sometimes happens to a pocket
watch which is removed from
warm pocket and left to stand
uncovered in a cold room dur
ing a winter night.
Robert Smith, public relations
director for the Battelle Memo
rial Institute here, said that al
though the Institute had not
conducted any experiments along
this line, metallurgists agreed
that a change in temperature
did affect metals.
"Metallurgists have done some
work here with metal alloys
used in watches generally" he
said, but not particularly with
main-springs."-
Smith said he himself had
found that upon placing q wrist
watch on a cold window sill
after it had been next to body
temperature all day, the watch
usually stopped running but that
the handspring ordinarily did
rot break.
William H. Orion, who has
been in the watch repairing bust
ress 40 years, explained that
main-springs were affected by
weather changes because of a
loss of resilency when they lack
ed room for expansion. The bet
ter the resiliency of spring,
the easier it broke, he said.
MORE EASILY AFFECTED
"A watch with good resiliency
in its handspring" Orion said,
lis more likely to expand and
contract when the temperature
changes rapidly because OF lis
fine quality. When there Is NJ
room for expansion, the spring
breaks"
Clocks, however, escape the
curious quirk of nature, jewelers.
said, because clocks have heavier
main-springs than watches and
are not affected by thunder
showers.
Another Columbus jeweler
and watch repairer, Ruey Rhodes
said that sometimes delayed re-
action to the weather postponed
breakage of a handspring from
one to 10 days after a thunder
shower.
Rhodes also dismissed the
wideaoread beGef among lay
men that main-springs usually
were broken by being wound
too tightly. He said that most
watches had safety devices which
prevented excessive winding.

ODD RESULTS OF

The line made by the survey is

and Maryland that the mall of ones

By the 9th Of October, 1865, the
surveyors reached North Mountain,

the 4th of June, 1866, we find them on
the summit of the Little Allegheny,

Mason and DixOn's Outstanding
Boundary Caused Border Up
heavals; Indians Stop Survey

We can lay claim to the Mason and
Dixon Line, one of the most important
boundaries in the history Of the West
ern Hemisphere, as one of our most
important legaces. In fact, little con-
, sideration is given it because largely
Of its imaginary existence, yet it is an
outstanding item in American history.
OF the larger communities of Mary
land Cumberland is closest to it
six miles at most. Hancock, in the
neck of Maryland, is two miles from
the line
The King of England was indebted
to Admiral Penn in the sum of $780,
600 and William Penn, at the death of
his father, inherited the claim. At the
equest of Penn, King Charles granted
him in payment Of his claim a tract of
10000 square miles in America In the
petition to the King, dated June, 1880,
Penn asked for the territory west of
the Delaware river and from the
northern boundary of Maryland to the
north as far as plantablc.
1t was the largest grant ever made
to one man in America. The boundary
of the colony, as given in the charter,
became the subject Of most serious
dispute and the matter was not fully
settled for a hundred years.
