Home from Swim Watchmaker First to Use Jewel Bearings Before the year 1704, the pivot holes in watches were just holes drilled in the brass of the movement's framework. In that year, notes a writer in the Washington Post, Nicolas Facio, a Swiss watchmaker working in London, patented the idea and practice of using a piece of hard stone with a drilled and polished hole in it for a bearing for a pivot. These were at first used only at the balance pivots, but the advantages of jeweling were so evident that it soon became customary to Jewel some of the train holes in the best qualities of timepieces. The direct advantages of jeweled pivot holes are two, the bearing is more durable and the pivot runs with less friction. The first named advantage is due to the hardness of the stone, and the second is due to the fact that hard stone takes a higher polish than soft metal can take. For the better grade oft watches, jewels are made of ruby and sapphire. In the less expensive watches, garnet is the material most generally used, because it is so much softer and hence less costly to work to shape. When synthetic corundum (ruby and sapphire material) was introduced for the manufacture of gemstones, for a very long time manufacturers of watches hesitated to adopt it for making jewels, in the meantime giving the new material thorough trials in practical use. The result of these trials was to satisfy the most conservative that synthetic sapphires and rubies are equal to natural stones in every quality called for in watchwork; and synthetic stones are used practically to the exclusion of the natural as raw material in the jewelmaking trade. Nearly all of the watch hole jewels used in all countries are made in Switzerland. Pallet stones and roller jewels are generally made in each factory for its own watches.

PITY THE HUSBAND A RARE spring morning, the lilac-scented air a-blow with drifting fruit blossoms. Linda Fleming, standing in the doorway of her home, * thoughtfully watching the postman trudging up the street, was conscious of a more than usual feeling of unrest. Nature was calling her to come out and admire its beautiful* new garments. But the numberless small duties that fill an uneventful life with a mockery of importance,, made her turn from the enticement of the awakening garden. -• Linda was the, last member her family left in the old home-- stead. A limited income compelled her into a monotonous daily routine, against which she rebelled. ^ X She had always lived in a smalt town girt by a high wall of mountain, which she longed to be able to push^ aside. Beyond it, she was. surest was the fairyland of hqr dreamy. She wanted a realizatidti of lifej not as it was, but as she imagined it. ; Her^ dissatisfaction and hanger for something different, something! that life in a narrow environment could never offer, made her close her heart against Roger Chipman, whose dearest wish was to make Linda his wife. When Dr. Fleming died, young Dr. Chipman had taken his practice. He was Linda'ssincere friend and confidant. But husband? Ah, never! The ideal who lived in her thoughts was clothed in vestments thart did not fit faithful, plodding Roger. . As she had no friends in the otiitjside world she. was surprised when the -postman, turning in at her gate, SHORT SHORT STORY Complete in This Issu* A young woman recently applied to one of the local radio stations for a position as a singer. They gave her an audition and She was so" bad all the"technicians went to lunch. The girl noticed the strained expressions around her. "I know I can't sing," she confessed. "But I'd be willing to pay for it, if you'd let me sing on Tues-, day nights."' "Well, just why are you so anxious to sing over the air?" asked the long suffering tryout man. "Well, my husband and I have quarreled," the girl explained; "He always listens in Tuesday night to this station.

After reading it she hurried to the 'phone and called excitedly: "Oh, Roger, come quick! A relative of father's has left me a legacy." , The legacy proved important enough to open the door to Linda's world of dreams.- Roger, with his usual unselfishness, helped her pore over tourist circulars and time ta-- bles. She decided on a year or two of travel, after which she would settle in the city, where Roger must come often to see her. In the meantime he would put the Fleming home on the auction market, while Linda herself would look up a reliable dealer in the city who would dispose of the valuable old furniture that had been in the Fleming family for generations. ' • " In an incredibly short time Linda found herself esconced in a city hotel. Roger's last words--"Send for me if you ever need me," ^till sounding in her ears. The days that followed were charged with an excitement that was not altogether pleasurable. Linda was obliged to admit this, as she lay in her prim hotel bedroom one Sunday morning, and reviewed the events of the last few weeks. She was astonished to find that her thoughts persisted ih turning homeward, and that her most dominant feelings had been those of bewilderment and loneliness. In her pocket* book were the passport and ticket# that would enable her to start the following day on a wonderful trip around the world. _ The day before she had been to see a dealer in antiques about the sale of her furniture. She had in-- wardly resented the eagerness with which he gloated over her submitted list. She had felt a passion of protectiveness for the dear old pieces that, until then, she had never valued. There was the lowboy that, since her earliest recollections, had stood by her mother's bedside. It had held her Bible and night lamp. There was the little rocker by the fireplace, in which as a child she had cuddled in her mother's arms and found comfort for her childish I griefs. There were the spacious beds, with their fluted -and pineapple posts, that had been the last resting place of loved and respected members of her family. Each steeped in sentiment, they rose before her vision in mute protest against her intended sacrilege. The old home itself, dignified, flanked on each side by tall red chimneys, the flagged walk leading to its threshold, worn by the beloved footsteps of those who had gnpp tn their eter sanctuary of sacred memories. And for a whim she was going to subject it to the auctioneer's hammer! Linda's pillow was wet with her remorseful tears, while waves of homesick longing swept her thoughts back to her old home and its associations. What could the outside world offer in comparison? Where on the wide earth could she find anyone who bould take the place in her affections that Roger had? She stretched out her hand to the telephone, on the stand by her bedside, and sent tingling over the wives the message that flew like a homing bird straight to the heart for whom it was intended, "Roger, I ajiis! jMH*" Simple - ;; Returning from school one afternoon, Bessie told her mother that she had learned how to punctuate.
