DARYL MCCORMACK TELLS
OF WATCH TESTING
AND CARE

Daryl MCCOI IIIdCh, JuAAoi
partner of H. B. Mccormack
and Son, spoke before the Ex-
change Club, Tuesday noon,
at Peacy's Manor House. Mr..
Mccormack explained that
there are 1913 different kinds
of watches - three American
-Elgin, Hamilton and Wal
tham-and the rest are Swiss
watches. There are literally
thousands of different styles,
sizes and shapes. All tick more
or less alike and all time pieces
are taken for granted.
He commented that every
thing in our lives, and even
our lives themselves are regu-
lated by and depend on time.
Our time pieces vary from
the very simple handmade
ones to the % jewel, non fric-
ton, high caliber watch. He
explained the smaller the time
piece, the less shock it can
stand, and the less it can be
depended upon, generally
speaking.
He commented on the fact
that 10000 screws used in
watches could be contained in
a standard thimble and that
it takes 100000 of them to
make a pound. The balance
wheels turn $4,000 times a
day. Hair springs are worth
100000 per pound. There are
LAO minutes in a day - if a
watch is off one minute per
day, it is off only 1/1440th
from absolute perfection. A
day has 86,400 seconds; 3D.
$4,000 in a year. The aver
age balance wheel of a watch
travels a total of $3.50 miles
per year, or about 212 times
the distance between New
York and Los Angeles, Calf.
The balance wheel which
beats five ticks per second to-
tails 157,000,O00 beats year.
This tiny mechanism is prop
erly called "the heart of the
watch" The above figures
were quoted from compila-
lions of Ralph Lazrus, presi-
dent of the American Watch
Assemblies Association.
Mr.. Mccormack explained
that whale oil was the lubri-
cant used by watch makers;
that each watch should be
cleaned and re-lubricated ev-
cry twelve or eighteen months.
Some of the cheaper watches
have two and four jewel Swiss
movements, but there are very
fine Swiss watches, especially
those known as A. S. and ETA.
movements. There are five
wheels in every watch, and in
handling the various parts a
good watch maker never
touches the parts with his fin
gers but uses tweezers.
He also demonstrated the
''Watch Master" machine; and
stated that self winding
watches were not practical
nor dependable; they need
motion to wind them. After
explaining the "Watch Mas
ter's'' functions he tested
number of watches that were

out in the woodshed-scared to

But under the CT. Bill of

baby) is getting a free educa-

And Uncle Sam is giving him a
fine report: "Deportment, excel

That goes for all those under

SUCCESSFUL years In It's history.
After erecting its first building at
the corner of Front and Grace
streets, the association late in the
fall of 1913 moved to it's present
building on Market street.
Developing the Christian charac-
ter and usefulness of its members,
and to improve the spiritual, men
tai, social, and physical condition
of young men is the object of this
association and workers nave prov
ed themselves worthy of the clause
as they contributed generously to
the cause with time and effort.
Under their direction they in
cluded and introduced the Com
munity Health Week, taught many
children and men how to swim,
gave ~life-saving courses, and the
use of their. facilities to the Boy
Scouts of America and in the
church groups they formed Hi-Y's,
Tri-Hi-Y's, and Grays for the
Christiantic people in the conlmun-
ity and helped to provide and in
duce more people to attend church
services and Christian meetings.
The present building is well
equipped with social rooms, club
rooms dormitories, gymnasium,
locker rooms, swimming pool,
