Ancient Timepieces Were Expensive Affairs NERVOUS, DIZZY Across the street lives an ancient timepiece, tall and dark, with narrow lines of checkered Inlajr. It was made In 1806 for one General Mower, citizen of sterling worth, as they nsed to say. The general bought the face, weight and pendulum In Boston, paying 03 for them. Mr. Cheney of Windsor made the brass works $25 more and John Dana of Woodstock built the case, adding $33 to the cost One hundred and twenty-fiv- e dollars altogether, you see, a large sum Indeed for those bygone days, and one that 1 couldn't at all account for until I discovered that brass weights and works came qhlefly from England, and that the Nicholson resolution of 1806 positively prohibited their Importation. Still, such clocks must always have been costly; as far back aa the less expensive year of 1790, 21 pounds "In hard money" was paid for a grandfathers clock, a financial fact that makes you wonder why collectors today object to expending only a little more for such antique treasures. They really are bargains! Lost month, at a country auction, one was sold for $130, and some people thought the price high. And yet It probably cost nearly as much when It first was ' made. Tou snow, It was snld that It was the very high price of these brass works which originally Inspired Connecticut clock makers to whittle their works out of hardwood.

Sherrill, U. S. A. Anyway, so says Thomas Lindsay Blanton of Abilene, representative from the Seventeenth congressional' district of Texas. Newspaper readers will recall that Representative Blanton recently took the country Into his confidence regarding his views of SherrllL More recently he got out a booklet on the same subject. What his next move will be has Washington guessing. For Blanton Is a persistent chap and evidently Is out gunning for Sherrill. Up to date Sherrills only reply seems to have been a passing reference In public address to the Texan as a "busybody." That was an unkind cut, for the pages of the Congressional Record are proof that the activities of the Texas representative are manifold. Indeed, an envious colleague Is credited with the remark, "Blanton can do more In a minute to muddy the pond than any man in congress."

The project commonly cnlled the Arlington Memorial Bridge will take ten yenrs of work and cost $15,000,000. The Arlington Memorial Bridge commission Is authorized and directed to proceed at once with the construction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac river from the vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial In the city of Washington to an appropriate point In the state of Virginia, Including appropriate approaches, roads, streets, boulevards, avenues and walks leading thereto on both sides of said river, together with the landscape features appertaining thereto, all In accordance with the design, surveys, and estimates of cost transmitted by said commission to congress under date of April 22. 1924.

Another touch of sentiment about It Is the restoration of the famous Robert E. Lee mansion at Arlington.

But If Blanton had called Sherrill "Poobah" Instead of "Czar" no one would challenge the fitness of the characterization. Blanton complains because Sherrill has eleven Jobs. Why, It looks as If Sherrill had at least a hun- dred. So, while Sherrill may be a "Czar" he certainly Is a "Poobah."
