Hamuli Nichols
Washington J.R There
are days when folks like Nichols
and Flossisflossis wish their
names we r e
I Smith.
! Joe Smith,
the man of the
hour, almost
got his name
placed in nom
ination at the
GOP conven
tion in San
Francisco as a
candidate for
V.P.
But hoping
j'doesn't do any good for 1.500,000
Smiths about in the U. S.
Thinking about this. I fell to
digging through my library and
found a book written awhile
back by my friend H. Allen last
name of Smith.
Allen got to looking through
the record and discovered that
somebody, way back, had writ
ten a book about buttons. That,
he thought, interested hardly
anybody but vcollectors of but
tons. There must be more Smiths in
the world than collectors of but
tons, he thought. So my friend
set to work collecting informa
tion about the clan Smith.
People Named Smith
II took a bit of time, but he
came up with a volume called
"People Named Smith." He
found only "two alleged books"
about Smiths. One of them was
published around the turn of the
century, and Allen remarked
that this was put out by a "re
tarded eighth grader." It was a
pamphlet. Only five or six pages
cents for your copy of this won
derful book right away!
of Smiths. The second was no
improvement.
H. Allen Smith is no holder
back when it comes to getting
I the family name in print. His
book runs zoo pages and there
are any number of Smiths of all
kinds mentioned on every page.
That adds up to the thousands.
"The Smiths of this world are
common only in the sense that
they are numerous. It is a large
subject," Allen says.
Allen has little truck with
what he. likes to call the "hy
brid Smiths," the "almost
Smiths" and the "hyphenated
Smiths."
He claims that the Smith clan
not only is the leader of names
in the U.S., but also in Britain.
In this country, the Smiths are
followed by the Johnsons and
the Browns and where do you
reckon the Nelsons wind up?
Twentieth, that's where!
Just a Mention
While he was fretting with his
volume, Allen had a lot of fun
with a fellow from Omaha. Hiis
gent wanted very much to be
mentioned.
The Nebraska man said that
in 1941 he had put aside a sup
ply of popcorn, unpopped, con
sisting of 36 one-pound sacks.
This clown popped and ate,
dishpan full by dishpan full,
every kernel of this corn in
three and a half months. It
turned out to be something of
a new indoor record, according
to Smith. The popper and eater
wouldn't have gotten into the
volume unless his name had
been Sam you-know-what.
There are other Smiths.
Allen reports that Abigail
Adams was the first "Smith"
ever to act as mistress of the

Automation Said
To Be Inadequate
Chicago OJ.R! An industrial
research man warns that auto
mation is no substitute for the
"old-fashioned, sound, engineer
ing approaches" to production
problems.
George C. Ensign, director of
research for the Elgin National
Watch Co., expressed this opin
ion at a conference on automa
tion sponsored by Armour Re
search Foundation of the Illinois
Institute .of Technology.
Ensign said automation holds
a "very bright" promise for the
future, but he added:
"We may so complicate cer
tain processes by over-automatizing
that we may . . . add to
capital investment and mainte
nance cost to the point where
automation actually becomes
unprofitable.
"There are still areas in man
ufacturing where we are not
ready to apply automation, yet
often tremendous improvement
in efficiencies can be made in
these areas by the application of
some sound, old-fashioned ideas
of making a better tool or a bet
ter' arrangement of the job to
permit an operator to worfk
more efficiently."
White House. She was the wife
of the second president John
Adams. Abigail was born Smith.
"And how about this Joe
Smith?" I called Allen on the
long distance and asked him how
many Joes run around wearing
the last name of Smith?
"Golly," the old reporter said,
"there must be several."
According to the mail, there
sure must be.
