: Manager, the Brooklyn Eagle Party
enroute to the Interior to dedicate
I Mt. McKinley National Park will ar
| rive here this evening on the steamer
j Alaska. The party will remain here
;nt least until noon tomorrow and pos
i sibly longer.
There are approximately 70 people
jin the party. It is making the trip
i and the dedication will be made tin
I der the auspices of the Brooklyn
i Daily Engle at the invitation of the
Department of the Interior. The
| Brooklyn newspaper has been active
| ly interested in the Nation's parks
land playgrounds for many years and
has aided in the dedication of sev
jeral in the past.
i Mr. Kaltenborn .who is looking
i after details of the trip, is Asso
I ciate editor of the Daily Eagle and
I prominent in Eastern newspaper clr
| cles and active in civic work in
j Brooklyn. In the party is W. V.

Dock instead of the Admiral Dock
as had been planned. It has a quan

On their return to the city, the

An automobile needs frequent
attention. What about your
watch—a mechantem infinite

CARBON in the motor of a
car wilt decrease the running
efficiency of that car. And
yet the carbon will accumulate.
The car owner, knowing this, has
his car frequently overhauled—
and the carbon removed.
And yet this same man, per
haps, will allow his watch, a
mechanism infinitely more deli
cate, to run for years without
attention. All the while it is ac
cumulating dust—for tiny dirt
particles will sift in through the
most tightly fitting case-and this
will in time impede the timekeep
ing performance of the watch.
Your automobile performs oc
casional service, but your watch
has to run continously for a full
twenty-four hours each day.
Look at your watch. How long
has it been since you took it to
• jeweler for examination?

If your watch is to ran at it*
