Speed of Riveting Hammers
Riveting hammers are made with
six, eight, and nine-inch strokes, and the |
speed of the piston depends somewhat
on the length of the hammer. The
speed of the piston also depends on the
piston; the short piston running more
rapidly than A long piston. These pis
ton speeds will vary from ten to six
teen blows per second, or from 600 to
1,000 blows per minute. The faster
speeds are commonly found in ship
building and carbuilding plants, and
the slower speeds are found in boiler

Object Lesson Should
Have Impressed Youth
A boy returned from school one day
with a report that his scholarship had
fallen below the usual average.
•‘Well,” said the father, “you've
fallen behind this month, have you?”
“Yes, sir.”
"How did that happen?”
“Don't know’, sir.”
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed a number of cheap
novels scattered about the house, but
had not thought it worth while to say
anything until a fitting opportunity
should offer Itself. A basket of apples
stood upon the floor, and he said:
“Empty out those apples, and take
the basket and bring It to me half full
of chips.” "
Suspecting nothing, the son obeyed.
“And now,” he continued, "put those
apples back in the basket.”
When half the apples were replaced,
the son said:
“Father, they roll off; I can’t put tn
any more.”
“Put them in, I tell you."
“But, father, I can’t put them In."
“Put them in I No, of course you
can’t put them in. Do you expect to
fill a basket half full of chips and
then fill it with apples? You said you
did not know’ why you fell behind at
school? I will tell you. Your mind is
like that basket. It will not hold
more than so much, and here you have
been for the past month filling It up
with chip-dirt—cheap novels." —Bom-
bay Guardian.
Buying a Car
“But $6,000 seems a good deal to
pay for a car."
"Now don’t be foolish, hubby. He’ll
throw in a flower holder."—Louisville

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM REV. G. J. DAVIS
Marietta, Ga., Sept. 28, 1924.
Editors Hartwell Sun:—This is
Sunday night. The day’s work is
over and the Lord has given us three
good services today.
Aurelia is at Bessie Tift College,
and Mrs. Davis, Jack and I are a bit
lonesome. We have just had a con
versation about Hartwell, and some
of our friends there, and Jack could
not restrain the tears, and that was
too much for the other members of
the party.
I see from reading The Christian
Index that Brother W. A. Duncan
has accepted the call to OUR church,
and is to take up his work there next
Sunday. This brings joy to my
heart. From what I have heard of
their work, Brother Will and his
wife are fine organizers, and good
workers, and they will lead OUR
church on to greater things. Where
this pastor was weak and failed,
Brother Duncan will be strong, and
will succeed. It will be under his
leadership that Hartwell Baptists
will find themselves in Sunday school
work. Our greatest attendance on
any one Sunday was 688, and our
average for that year was 383, which
was the best average we ever made,
but here is a prediction that under
the leadership of Will Duncan, and
with his splendid organizing ability,
the church will make a very large
increase. For one I am sorry that
Col. J. H. Skelton has resigned. He
made a good superintendent and was
always on the job, and could always
say the right thiing at the right time.
He is the kind of a man that people
like to follow. In fact, he is just a
good substantial man in every way,
but since he has resigned I am glad
that Col. Mason is to be in charge.
The people will rally to their pas
tor and new superintendent, and will
build a great Sunday school, and will
do great things for our Master.
It is said that church attendance
has decreased 52 per cent in the
last thirty years; 28 per cent in the
last five years, and it might be well
to remember that the preacher is
not always to blame if the congrega
tion grows smaller and smaller.
Some of us are glad when a rainy
Sunday comes to drive the people off
the streets and roads into churches.

we had 376 in Sunday school, 47 in
Sr. B. Y. P. U., and large congrega
tions at preaching today. If it had
not rained hard tonight we would
not have had so many present, per
haps. Os course while the preacher
is new the folks come. Things will
get better. Worldliness will give
way to piety and consecration in a
few years, and a better day is just
ahead.
Our revival meeting begins Oct
ober 12th and the. Hartwell people
will pray for its success. Blessings
on Hartwel and Hart county, with
her schools, her churches and her
great people, and especially on The
Hartwell Sun, the greatest county
paper published.

Circles Around Moon
Circles around the moon are caused
by moisture in the atmosphere. It
frequently happens that the sunlight
reflected from the moon to the earth
Is so refracted by the atmospheric
moisture that a ring or circle is
formed. The more moisture there is
in the atmosphere the smaller the
circle will appear. The form and size
of the ring will depend entirely upon
the particular condition and quantity
of moisture In the air.
