Sometimes it is important that in¬ formation as to the exact time a five occurs or the alarm is turned in be available, and before the clever in¬ vention referred to herein was in¬ stalled, such information was by no means certain and was sometimes open to dispute. Naturally, when a fire alarm is received, the main busi ness is to get to the tire, not to look at the clock or watch and make a leisurely entry of the time in the re¬ cord book kept by the department. So, Chief J. L. Everett and Mr. George Fincher decided they would fix that little matter beyond the per adventure of a doubt; and they put their heads together to that end. Both being men of much electrical * knowledge and experience, both of their great minds naturally ran in the same channel, and that channel an electrical one. The scheme evolved was to place an electro-magnet behind the big pendulum of the five station clock and to connect the electric circuit of this magnet through a battery to the receiver hook of the telephone in the fire-alarm booth, When the receiver is removed from the hook in answering a fire call the magnet circuit is automatically clos ed, the electro-magnet energized, and the iron pendulum of the clock grabbed and held by it, as by an un seen hand from behind. When the receiver is hung back on the hook, the circuit is broken and the releases the pendulum, which falls away from it but remains motionless until the fire is out and the men re¬ turn to the fire station, note and re¬ cord the time the clock stopped, and then start the pendulum again and move up the hands to the correct time. The system was designed and built even to the winding of the magnet itself by Messrs. Everett and Fincher. 0 Chinese typewriters are now being made by American manufacturers.

J. Fullbright, to show an increase of $54,000,000 in tax assessments for 1920, have gone $18, 000,000 above that figure and pro¬ duced an increase of $72,000,000. These 58 counties in 1919 were above the average of 35 per cent, which all tax assessments figured in a stale-wide survey. Hence they were not asked for a very heavy increase in 1920, but the burden of responsibility was put upon the counties that fell below the average of 35 per cent. As an evi dence. however, of their public and the efficient work of .heir tax equalizers, they have come up w rith $14,000,000 more values than was ask ed of them.
