A wr;tar in n German naner stat

A writer in German paper states
that it is a custom in offices in that
country to have sliced potato on the
desk in commercial houses. He does
not state whether the esculent should
be raw or not, but the probability is
that it is boiled. The use of the po-
tato is to clean steel pens, and gener.
ally acts as pen-wiper. 1t removes
all ink crust, and gives u peculiarly
smooth flow to the ink. He also
states that the Hamburg clerks pass
new pens two or three times through
gas fame. and then the ink will
flow freely,
