Irvine, Ky. (P) James Winn,
reelected county clerk recently
for a third term, maintained his
record of just "skinning
through". In his three races, his
total majority was only 106
votes. In 1927 he defeated the
incumbent county clerk by two
votes. Six years later he won
reelection by 70 votes. This
year his vote margin of victory
was 34.

WOMEN REVIVE
, Atlanta, Ga. (U.R) Women
of the Southland are going back
to their needles.
Nobody seems to be able to
offer a good reason, but each
week the Items on society pages
of small-town newspapers about
activities of sewing circles, cro-
cheting and knitting parties, and
quilting bees are showing a
marked Increase. In some cases.
sewing news takes up more
space than do bridge parties.
Bridge clubs are being con
verted into sewing clubs, and
each week in many homes where
card tables have been unfolded
for the day quilting frames are
being lowered from living room
ceilings and the "bridge" clubs
go to work. Next day, the mem
bers assemble in the home of
another hostess.
Knitting, which was resur
rected several years ago, isn't
losing any popularity. Business
men are showing to their office
help scarves, saying proudly:
"My wife did that. Good, isn't
she?" And chances are that the
wife had more fun making the
articles than he does showing
them off.
Baby in the park is dressed
from head to toe in knitted
garments that are warm and
colorful clothing that will be
kept by many mothers as some
thing by which to remember
them long after they are mar
ried and knitting clothes for
their own off-spring,
The quilting going on through
out the southern states today
differs little from that done by
grandmothers. About the only
innovation Is the safety razor
blade to cut thread. Grandma,
you know, bit the thread in two.

GO ONE BY ONE
San Francisco, (U.R) With
the recent sale of the Star of
Finland, to be used hereafter as
a refrigerator and storage plant,
there passed out from the
Golden Cate the last of the
famous; fleet of square-rigged
windjammers, which once
proudly sailed the Pacific, and
with It the last trace of a klmzlv
dream for a mighty Pacific em
pire.
The Star of Finland, sister
ship of a whole fleet of other
Star ships, was built on the or.
der of King Kalakua of Ha
waii, and bore the name of Kai-
ulanl.
It was the dream of KIna
Kalakua to combine the various
South Sea island monarchies
Into one vast empire, of which
ne would be the head.
His plan embraced the bulM
Ing of a merchant marine that
would send its ships Into all
parts of the world and which
would be greater than any other
fleet In the world.
But the grandiose srhpmp
failed through lack of co-onera-
Hon and vision on the part of
me omer soutn Sea kings and
monarens.
Then King Kalakua died.

FAMOUS CLOCK
TO H AGAIN
Philadelphia. (U.R) Silent
for 39 years, the chimes of the
famed Hlttenhouse clock last
and acknowledged greatest ef
fort of David Rittenhouse.
astronomer now are heard
daily at Drexel Institute of
Technology.
The timepiece, an enigma of
complex construction, was ac
quired by Drexel Tech in 1898,
but its repair never was under
taken until this year when Stan
ley Woods, astronomical techni
cian of the Franklin Institute,
agreed to do the Job.
Woods worked on the clock
for nearly 10 months. Many
parts - had to be refashioned
since they could not be bought.
The timepiece, which stands
more than 9 feet high, with a
width of 2 feet and a depth of
13 inches, was built in 1773 by
Rittenhouse for Joslah Potts, a
wealthy Quaker.
