ROAD IS OPENED

Modern Concrete Span Built "To Replace Iron and Wood Structure.

High School Road from Road 40 to the Municipal Airport—so changed that the average motorist would hardly recognize it—was opened for travel today. A gleaming new four-lane paves ment stretches where once there was a narrow two-lane “black-top,” and a modern concrete bridge makes the old em" iron and

wood structure seem like a bad dream. The new pavement, which runs for almost a mile, is designed to accommodate parked cars on both sides. The pavement is complete with curbs and gutters. Sidewalks have been built on both sides. The road and bridge have heen under construction since March, motorists detouring over Banner Ave. to reach the airport. . Seven detours were lifted from the state A system during the past week and six were added. Dsthies in effect are:

Watches Go ‘Round

Summit to Muncie.

James A. Esser . . . doctor of afiing watches.

About a year ago a l4-year-old Indianapolis schoolgirl met a young man 20 years old. He told her he was mafried but that didn’t make any difference to the girl. | The young man was separated from his wife. - He and the- girl went out, together against her widowed mother’s will. The girl ran jup some bills and the young man loaned her $25. He took a note for the amount. : The affair palled on the girl About a month ago she decided to call it quits. Every time she brought up the matter, the young fellow flaunted the note and threatened to sue her. Driven to desperation, she ran away from home. Three days later police found her.

She blurted out

‘GADGET’ HELPS FIX TIMEPIECES

Turns Works in Every Position to Make Sure Joh Is Done.

By TIM TIPPETT

Watchmakers often have wished their patients could stick out tongues to be diagnosed. But since a watch can only ‘sit and tick and wave its arms, J. E. Esser, local watchmaker, has done something about it. The “something” is a small gadet powered by a three-watt motor with a gear ratin of 900C to one. Ailing watches, which have had their insides patched, are placed on a fan-like wheel which revolves once every 15 minutes. Mr. Esser explained that this is done to make sure the watch runs correctly in every possible position. Up until the| time Mr. Esser perfected his machine, several months ago, repaired watches were placed on a stationary rack awaiting their

:| owner to claim them.

He Explains It

Often the watches ran correctly on the rack only to become ill once more waved around on a write or joggled in a pocket. If the watch survives the “Esser movable regulator rack” it’s in top condition, the watchmaker asserts. Several of the machines are being used by local watch men and more are being sold every week. Mr. Esser explained his invention to members of the Watchmakers Guild last night at a meeting at the Hotel Antlers. And speaking of watches (an inexhaustable subject with Mr. Esser) the life expectancy of a watch is 15 years. Placed under glass and pampered, a modern watch would probably last for 100 years, he believes. ‘Watches which contain from 150 to 175 parts are among man’s most delicate and valuable inventions and are often the most abused property a person owns.

“Don’t Bounce It”

“It's a strange thing,” he said, “but you can’t tell who is apt to take the best care of a watch. A big rough. looking man often takes better care of his watch than a stenographer. It’s simple to take good care of a watch, according to the inventor. “Just don’t bounce it around and have it cleaned once a year,” he advises. Also wind it when you 'get out of bed in the morning. Not

the watch is wound (morning or night) but most people get up at the same time each day but do not go to bed at the same time. “A watch should be wound regularly

once every 24 hours.”

makers is the mainspring. “People Don’t Understand”

“A good main spring is more apt to break than an inferior spring,” Mr. Esser said. The reason for this is that to keep a regular beat (tick, tick, tick, see?) a good spring is brought to a tension as close to the breaking point as possible. “So you see when we replace a mainspring and it breaks in a relatively short time we get complaints, It's] just that beople don’t under-

stand.”

Children Find Cave Age Art

VICHY, France, Sept. 27 (U. P.).—Three children playing “police and gangsters” in a cave in in the Montignac tegion have discovered carved and painted hunting scenes by cavemen who lived 30,000 years ago, it was disclosed todav. . Marcel Ravidat, 12, crawled through a = one-foot aperture leading to the cavern. There he saw charging wild animals, representations. of reindeer and a bison-like long-horned animal, painted on a wall. Prof. Abel Bresil and Jean Tahom, two of France's foremost paleontologists, examined the paintings, attested their authenticity and expressed belief that they might prove the most important prehistoric frescoes in Europe.
