Your Watch Maintenance Tips For Accurate Timekeeping
The article explains how a watch runs about 16 000 times per hour, 442 000 per day, and 157 680 000 yearly, and travels 3 732 miles yearly. It notes that a wound-down watch runs irregularly for days, that fine timekeepers are sensitive to handling, and that performance varies between people. It advises hanging at night, letting a started watch settle, and regulating while worn, winding at the same hour daily, and noting rate variations at a set hour. The regulator should not be moved until proper conditions prove the watch is off.

320000 Picked Men to Make Up First Draft Army
Washington outlines the plan for the first national army of 320000 men with 20000 initial volunteers to be moved to France. Thousands of the rest join National Guard and regular regiments, while 100000 to 200000 act as depot troops to fill vacancies as casualties occur. The approach tests soldier quality and may keep questionable recruits in depot units for further testing and to supply capable NCOs for the second draft.
