Mr. Duval continued — "The advantage of this con- trivance is that I have nothing to hold in my hand or lay on the ground; that it does not gen- erate a flame that attracts at- tention, and is not much affect- ed by the wind." Personally I think. I would have been a blowtorch man in 1902 and I am almost persuaded that I would have been a Stan- ley Steamer owner, writes Ri- chard. L. Strout in the Christian Science Monitor, The brothers, in 1902, had a new model, so efficient that they claimed "the average consumption of water used in this carriage does not exceed 40 pounds per hour and as the water tank holds about 20 gallons a very large radius of action is assured." This introduces a new thought. "Miles per gallon" in a steamer as like as not referred to the mileage you could extract from a gallon of water. That was the day when motor- ists had a gay recklessness and when the horse was the double enemy —it shied, and it shed nails. Other enemies were state le- gislators. Three bills were intro- dticed in Massachusetts that year — 7 miles an hour in cities; 15 in the country; penalty $50 fine or three months in jail. And the New York state sen- ate passed the Cocks billt city maximum 8 miles; country, 20 miles; on any bridge 4 miles, GOLD IS WHERE YOU' FIND IT George and Herbert Prank of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia could be said to have been born with gold in their mouths., Yet it needed half a lifetime's pros- pecting over fields far and hear before they discovered their fa- bulous good fortune, Dever mice did they dream it was on their ewe doorstep.

Cut- ler-Hammer, Inc,, were convine- ed Orwell's nightmare was com- ing true, "Big Brother," the workers complained, was a new electronic monitoring system, and his eyes were glowing lights in a balcony control room. For each punch press, a green light would be on when the machine was running; a red light would glow when- ever a machine stopped; and a flashing red, activated by the operator at his press, would in- dicated mechanical trouble or shortage of material, "You look at this panel and see your whole plant at work," rhapsodized Keith Main, a spokesman for the device's mak- er, Hancock Telecontrol Corp. Main argued the system would cut idle time and raise incen- tive pay, put foremen at the operators' "beck and call," and give workers "quite a psychol- ogical boost." Psychologically, retorted Har- old Lorenz, president of Lodge 1061 of the international. Asso- ciation of Machinists, "it's an electronic spy system." Noting the system can record each ma- chine's output on graphs, the union has given Cutler-Ham- mer, itself a maker of electrical equipment and controls, a 21- point demand for restrictions on Big Brother's use. Among the points: Workers must get duplicates of the system's records of their performance. In any dispute over the re- cords, the worker's word must be final. Big Brother mustn't be used for time studies or disciplinary action. Even with safeguards, it was clear Big Brother would have an uphill fight to popularity. As one operator put it: "They can keep watch on what you're doing all day. A fellow's got to get up and walk around, doesn't he?" Big Brother will be there pa- cing ydui Vatican At Last Denies Local Rumors The rumors started last Janu- ary when workmen threw up a scaffolding around the old Le- onine Tower, which overlooks the Vatican gardens. "The Pope's building extra quarters for the cardinals, since he's increased their number so much," quipped some observers. "Papa Giovanni's adding extra rooms for all his brothers," said others. A gloomy minority was convinced that "Il Papa is building himself a great bomb shelter." Actually, the ancient structure — built in. A.D. 848 to defend the Pope from his enemies and last used, until 1931, as an obser- vatory — is being converted into a quiet hideaway for Pope John. Driving through the gardens with his secretary last year, he waved toward the tower and remarked: "I'd like to come and live here." Accordingly, the top three floors of the six-story tower are being made over into a private papal apartment, Official explanations, however, have done little to dispel the m- inors. The soccer field near the tower, said Romans, was obvious- ly a heliport. And surely there was to be a bomb shelter. Wearily the other day a Vati- can spokesman made — he hoped a final statement; "The Holy Father does not need — nor does he seek — a bomb shelter." Many a boy ,ie the kind of child his parents wouldn't want him to play with.

The Ontario bag and posses- sion limits for clucks have been reduced in the 1961 Migratory Bird Regulations issued by the Canadian Wildlife Service, The lowering of limits is due to the reduction in supply of ducks from the Western Provinces, where drought conditions have seriously affected nesting success and brood production, The daily bag limit has been reduced from six to five, and the possession limit from twelve to ten, exclusive of mergansers. One canvasback or redhead duck is being permitted as a "mistake" bird, This allowance ties in with an open letter to fish and game clubs in the Prairie Provinces and western Ontario, in which. Resources Minister Walter Dins- dale asked that clubs help in- form all hunters that canvas- backs and redheads should not be shot this year, in an effort to retain an adequate breeding pop- ulation. The bag and possession limits for wood duck have been in- creased from one to two. The bag limit for rails, coots and gal- linules has been reduced from six to five and the possession limit from 12 to ten. G e es e limits remain un- changed at five and ten. The hag and possession limits for snipe and woodcock are also un- changed at eight and 16. Seasons will open one week la- ter in. the Southern District this year. The dates for all species are as follows: September 15 to December 15 in the Northern District; Sep- tember 23 to December 15 in the Central District; 12 noon Oc- tober 7 to December 15 in the Southern District; 12 noon Octo- ber 7 to December 31 for geese only in Essex County, In the past, regulations have stipulated that if a place was baited with food attractive to waterfowl during the open sea- son or seven days prior to it, the area within one-half mile of that place would be closed far the season. The Chief Game Officer of the province can now waive that regulation as far as a public hunting area adminis- tered by a province is concerned, if any baiting reported outside such an area would include the public hunting area within the one-half mile no hunting radius, Calling All Scots — Halfpennies Wanted ! Can the ancient hero kin g, who was inspired by a spider, now inspire Scots to contribute 250,000 to his memorial? This sum is wanted to erect an equestrian statue to King Ro- bert the Bruce on the field of Bannockburn where, 647 years ago, he and his followers slaugh- tered a 17,000-strong English army, In launching a world-wide ap- peal for this cause, Lord Clyde, the Lord Justice General of Scot- land, is asking for "a bawbee for Bruce." Already, a promising trickle has started, some of it coming from patriots living as far west as Vancouver and as far east as Tokyo. Lord Clyde calculates that there are 25,000,000 Scots spread over the globe today. If each contributes a halfpenny the ,E50,000 target will be rearhed. The sculptor chosen to carve the statue is Mr, C. D'O. Pilking- ten Jackson, who was respons- ible for the great National 'War Memorial in EdinbUrgh Castle. He plans to design a statue simi- lar in scale to the Haig monu- ment in Whitehall. Ideally, the memorial should stand on the field of Bannock- burn. But the site of the battle, as marked on the Ordnance Sur- vey map, is some distance off the true plate. T h a t is now swamped by housing arid re- claimed pastureland,. But this difficulty Will not daunt the. Scots. They will erect the memorial near the terestone Cairn, where Bruce set up his standard the clay before the bat- tie, Bob: "My girl is as pretty as "'That's the Wrong simile, A inirage IS seine- thing YOU tan See but 'caret get (0'10 "That'S thy gillo An Empty Pocket Is Now An Asset The amount ' of money you carry in your pocket or wallet may be a significant indicator not only of your comparative wealth but your status as well. If you have a lot of money, reports show, you may keep very little of it jingling in your pockets. You have it out working for you. But if you don't have much, the likelihood is greater that you keep it close at hand, where you can keep track of it, Queen Elizabeth II, an exceed- ingly wealthy woman in her own right as well as the recipient of a large government stipend, never carries any cash. Even when she goes shopping at Chris- mastime, someone in her retinue always pays for the purchases or arranges for the bill to be sent. That is a royal tradition. In non-royal circles, too, the wealthy men of England seem to carry less coins on their per- son the larger their bank bal- ances. From time to time, men like Charles Clore, the property magnate, Paul Getty and Nubar Gulbenkian, the oil millionaires, and Charles Forte, a successful caterer, reportedly have run short of cash — like •President Kennedy at the candy shop — and have to borrow a small amount to pay for taxis, tele- phones, or emergencies. But most of these men have learned through experience to have a small amount of money on their person, or to see that • their chauffeur has funds on hand. After all, they themselves did not get to the top of the financial ladder by being short- sighted about such matters. Replacing money in the wallet in England, as in the United States, is the credit card. Such cards are not yet as profuse there as on the other side of the Atlantic. But many a rising businessman in Britain now f eels it essential to have a charge account at a good hotel or restaurant so he can sign the bill rather than pay cash when entertaining clients. Contributing to the reduction of cash carrying at lower levels of society is the recent growth of popularity of bank checking accounts. Advertisements now tell cash-and-carry George that if he seems 'to be slighted by the clerks' when he makes a pur- chase, it is because John, no dif- ferent otherwise and perhaps poorer, carries a checkbook. Yes, the empty pocket practically be- comes an asset, according to Henry S. Hayward in the Chris- tian Science Monitor, At the very depths, obviously, are men such as myself who not only carry cash — but carry small change in a coin purse. Several feminine movie stars, I have noted recently, when de- scribing their ideal man have complained they cannot toler- ate one who carries a change purse. I know what they mean, all right; if he is careful about his small change, what must he be about the larger denomina- tions? But if they, in turn (or their husbands)' had developed holes in their pockets by carrying heavy British pence, florins, and half crowns, perhaps they would be more sympathetic with the purse-bearing type, He is a thrift' ty fellow — but there is less mending to be done in the eve- eingl Meanwhile, if Soviet Premier Nikita S.

When you start 'out in the fa- mily car this weekend it would be nice if you gave a momen- tary thought to Harry B. Haines. Writing to the editor of the ma- gazine The Horseless Age just about 60 years ago he gave his instructions for starting his 41/a horsepower "American carriage," "Just move the rod back of the seat up and down once or twice. That is the auxiliary gaso- line pump and forces enough gasoline into the explosion cham- ber to start with . ,• Then put your spark and switch levers far forward so as to start with a late spark. Turn the needle valve controlling supply of gasoline, then turn on your lubricator. Now press down on your relief lever to let out the bad gas and turn the starting crank once or twice to get the motor going." Simple, eh? When Ford came along he put the "starting crank" out in front, but for Mr. Haines' car it was directly beneath the seat, "always in position." It was touch and go in Mr. Haines' day whether to go gaso- line or steam. The Stanley Bro- thers of Newton, Mass., almost Made America a nation of steam drivers. One problem with steam was getting up pressure, You could buy the Turner Pocket. Gasoline Torch whose flame according to an advertisement "covers the whole of the generating coil." However that was optional with the manufacturers of the Stan- ley Steamer. They recommend- ed "cotton waste and a side road fire." This combined well with pic- nics. After the hot dogs and just before putting out' - the fire you would get at that old generat- ing coil, However, a letter to the editor signed. Ernest Duval, MD, of Chicago, Ill., made the point that this is "impracticable on a crowded street or even in the country when the wind blows hard." It really poised a pretty problem. In the gay, experimental 1900's, however, difficulties were just made to be solved, Here is how Mr, Duval handled it: "When I want to fire up my carriage all I have to do, no matter if I am on a crowded street or in my barn, is to hitch tip the generating tube on the step, clasp the small blowtorch" (i.e., the aforementioned Turner Pocket Gasoline Torch) "under it, and in less than a minute I can insert the generating tube in the burner and fire in the usual way; take off the small Q. How can I stiffen the bris- tles of a brush? A. By dipping .them into a strong solution of alum, saturat- ing thoroughly.
