A. 51 Some Inside Facts About Buying a Fine Watch Let us suppose you are determined to own a watch which cannot be excelled anywhere in the world. Price is no object. Your watch must be superlative. You want the world's finest timepiece. You go to a jeweler in your city. He carries imported watches and a full line of American watches. But he is quite apt to judge quality according to price, and to feel that the high-priced imported move ment must of necessity be a finer timepiece than an American watch whose price is. lower. He shows you a Swiss watch. He tells you about its workmanship and beauty, and he also tells you what it will cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000. Oh, yes, of course he has cheaper Swiss watches, but here is the real watch. Being a layman, you are unfamiliar with watch-making. To you a . watch is a mystery, a complicated mechanism of springs, wheels, gears and pinions. So perhaps you buy a foreign watch because of its novelty of appearance the case, the dial or the hands. You carry that watch for three months, six months, possibly a year. Then things begin to hap pen to it. Something goes wrong. It needs repairing. You take it back where you bought it. After waiting a long time you are presented with your watch and with a stiff repair bill. But here's the most disheartening thing of all. it will be a chance in a thou sand that your watch is the same again in time-keeping, and the dependability you thought it - possessed, simply be cause it was built by one craftsman 4,000 miles away, each part laboriously made by hand. A broken part or a disarrangement of its mechanism meant that your watch had become diseased and only its creator could effect a cure. So the moment you bought your fine and terribly expensive Swiss watch you bought a liability. It was so deli cately, so personally created, that even your careful uaage was rough treat ment, Now let us talk about a watch that is better in workmanship, superior in ma terial, sturdier in service, absolutely accurate in time-keeping and infinitely lower in price, yet as beautiful, as ele gant, as any foreign built watch the high class jeweler pays duty on. The Waltham Colonial A, Maximus Movement, is as fine a watch move ment as the world can produce. Here is a watch upon which has been lavished over fifty years of American mechanical improvements in watch making. It is a watch that has made the eyes of Swiss craftsmen glisten with wonder and admiration. It actually possesses a superiority of material which no Swiss watch, if you pay $2,000 for it, can surpass. A like movement, called the Waltham Premier Maximus, has invariably de feated at the world's greatest exposi tions all other watches a watch movement that has commanded more Kew Observatory A certificates than any other watch in the world. Suppose you bought a Waltham Colo nial A Maximus you have made a lifetime investment in accurate time keeping, in dependability, at less than one-third of what an imported watch of the same grade would cost you. You then own a watch that under any circumstances of accident or injury can not become a liability. It can be easily and quickly repaired. Every part is standardized. It is cased, timed and adjusted with scrupulous care and skill at Waltham. Twenty-one jewels are incrusted in its Jerfect mechanism. It is beautiful to ook at slender, yet with something symbolic in line and curve of American strength and lastingness. The Waltham Colonial A Maximus Movement has every quality of su premacy. It is a watch that will be come an heirloom for your children, which can be said of innumerable Waltham timepieces all over this land. We have told you faithfully the Waltham message, but there are many things which your dealer can demon strate and add thereto. Co to any Waltham dealer and that means the leading jewelers in this city, he will show you Waltham Watches ranging in price, for gentlemen, from the Cadet Strap Watch, with gold covered back, at $22 up to tha Waltham Premier Maximus at $530. And, (or ladies, tha Jewel Series from $3 1 .50 upward to that ex quisite tiny watch (its movement is actually smaller than a dime in diameter) which sells from $150 to $1,000 or more according to tha case.

Fee of $20,000 Awarded to Attor neys for Proponents of Fa mous Will Case. Notice of appeal to the circuit court from the decision of County Judge Taz well upholding the validity of the will of Xarifa Jane Fating was filed yester day by Coy Burnett, E. E. Heckbert and Russell E. Sewall, attorneys for the contestants, following a somewhat heated argument in which an attempt was made to compel the court to file his findings with his decree in the case. Judge Tazwell refused to do this. The decree merely states the decision of the court, the findings explain how that decision was arrived at, and the attorneys .maintained the explanation should be a part of the record for the information of the higher court. The judge did not coincide with that opin ion. A fee of $20,000 was awarded attor neys for the proponents of the will by Judge Tazwell at the conclusion of the hearing yesterday. This is -one of the largest fees yet given in a will case in Multnomah county and is only a payment on account. The lawyers will have another bill to present after the case has been fought through higher courts. The fee goes to Attorneys Logan, Wilson and Labbe.
