A Nichol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Pram luh Writ
Washington (U.R) A cen
tury ago Congress was in recess.
President Franklin Pierce wrote
friends that he

indications that
the capital was
going through
a hot spell in
July, 1855, just
like the one we
had here 100
Harman Nicfaol years later.
But the papers leave us to
guess at this late date what the
temperature might have been
Neither was there any forecast
for the morrow.
Hints of the weather came in
the form of advertisements.
George W. Blackston plugged
his pavilion, away from the heat
and bustle. The proprietor's
table George said, "will be sup
plied with the delicacies abound
ing in the acres adjacent to
Blackstonn's Islands." One week
or more, $1.25 a day, including
everything. Less than a week,
the price was $1.50 per day per
person.
Mountain Retreat
Capon Springs, Va., advertised
as a delightful summer place the
"Mountain House" at "this pop
ular watering place."
The owners suggested that one
take the stage at Baltimore at
4V4 a.m. and connect with a
steamboat at Alexandria, "with
breakfast and board, free." Once
at the "Mountain House," room
and board ran as low as $40 for
28 days with "children and col
ored servants half price."
The managers of Clagett, New
ton, May & Co. were happy peo
ple. They inserted a card of
thanks in the newspaper Intelli
gencer thanking the four custom
ers who "had the kindness to
settle their accounts rendered
the 3rd of last month. All who
have not settled will oblige us
very much by so doing."
A correspondent for the New
York Times reported from Wash
ington that one Roger A. Pryor,
Esq., had been "selected by a
grateful administration to per
form a secret service in Europe."
That was the end of the item.
News About Drunks
Getting away from Washing
ton, the New York Times let it
be known that it was continuing
what it called the weekly "toper
list." Apparently in the interest
of shaming those who drank too
much.
The column started off with
the notation: "We give you today
our free list of arrests." The pa
per named names and interesting
quotations from those in trouble.
Richard Curry confessed that
he had not had a drop of hard
liquor in three months and that
unaccustomed as he was to the
custom at the time it upset him
considerably. The court ruled
that it certainly had.
Peter Coffield said that what
he drank, he drank in the privacy
of his own hovel. He blamed his
wife, who 'brought it home to
me."
Charles Castles, under ques
tioning, said "I live nowhere,
and sometimes everywhere." He
told the judge that he didn't keep
a diary so how did he know how
he got into such a mess. He also
said something about having an
innate dislike for jailhouses.

Small Bomb Explodes
In Pro-Peron Office
Buenos ' Aires (U.R) A small
bomb exploded in the plant of a
pro-government magazine Thurs
dav in this city already tense
with new "rumors" of a rebel
lion against President Juan D.
Peron's government.
The Argentine National Radio
said reports of an uprising
against Peron were merely
"rumors."
In Santiago, Chile, the For
eign Ministry and the Argentine
Embassy denied reports that
Peron has asked the Chilean gov
ernment for permission to enter
Chile' after abandoning power in
Argentina.
The bomb shattered glass in
doors and windows in the build
ing of the Peronista party maga
zine Mundo. There also is a se
condary Peronista party school
in the building.
Toadstool Poisoning
Goats Hinder AVMA
Chicago U.R) The "inher
ent curiosity" of dairy goats has
made toadstool poisoning a prob
lem in the livestock industry, ac-
coring to the American Veterin
ary Medical association.
The association said curiosity
drives the goats to graze in areas
favorable to toadstool growth,
where they apparently become
stricken.
Toadstool poisoning has "of-
ten-times been considered only a
human problem," the AVMA
says.
Strange Object Seen
By La Grande Reporter
La Grande (U.R) Steve Loy
of the La Grande Evening Ob
server reported Thursday that he
had observed what appeared to
be a "tear-shaped balloon" hang
ing dead in the sky west of La
Grande at 4:45 a.m. today.
Loy said he took pictures of
the object but that he doubted
if they would reveal much. He
said it was floating so high over
the city that he used binoculars
to determine its shape.

But now DeWulf farms more

Firm Boosts Output
From lazy' Machines
Schenectady, N. Y. (U.R) A
General Electric Company au
ditor has found a way to stop
mechanical "goldbricking."
Suspicious that automatic of
fice machines might, like some
humans, be looking busy when
they, were not, John Vavasour
decided to find out. He borrow
ed a laboratory recording in
strument and hooked it to power
lines feeding various tabulating
machines.
Telltale graphs promptly
showed that machines which
seemed to be busy all the time
were really idle for long periods,
he discovered. Also, the "gold
bricking" ' was most apparent
when several different kinds of
machines were performing dif
ferent work. Some finished the
job quickly, then rested while
others caught up.
Until his experiment, the best
possible human observation was
that the machines were working
100 per cent, and more were
needed. Now, operators no long
er have to watch the mechanical
culprits, and scientific re-scheduling
work has boosted output
without new machines, the com
pany said.
