The Washington times., 1911-10-30

A story Of how the work of the con-
ventions committee of the Chamber of
Commerce brought Washington to the
attention of a prominent manufactures
who was seeking location for large
factory came out today. The story is
disclosed by member of the Chamber
of Commerce who Was discussing the
decision of the manufactures commit
tee after It had completed its negotia-
tions with this manufacturer.
The manufactures committee has just
turned down proposition of a manu-
facturer, who proposed to establish in
Washington a factory to employ 4ot
skilled mechanics at once and who
promised later to employ 500. The prop
osition was turned down, for reasons
which have not been disclosed. but suf'
ficient for the members of the commit
tee. It is believed that the Chamber
was unable to find a way to meet the
requirements Of the manufacturer. al.
though his proposition is saic to have
been an attractive one.
Attracted BY Address.
The story of how he came to consider
Washington, however, as a place for his
proposed factory is told today as fol-
lows. About a month ago Granville NJ
Hunt, chairman of the conventions com
mitee, was called on the telephone from
New York. The man at the New York
end of the wire told Mr.. Hunt that q
large Western manufacturer was in his
office and that he had been attracted by
Mr.. Hunts address before the Boston
convention Of the Associated Ad Clubs
of America last summer, in which Mr.
Hunt told of the advantages of Wash
ington as a place for factories.
"Mr. Smith (Which is not his name)
said the voice, "read your address a.

is looking for a place to establish
large factory. He did not know thai
Washington was in the field for new
factories until he read your paper. He
never thought of Washington as fac
tory city. He wants to meet you ant

Mr.. Hunt replied that he would get

the present plan OF apportionment of

He finds, for instance, that $50 Re-

tient who 10 kept in an optimistic
frame OF mind stands a better chance
Of recovery than one who Is melan-
choly. The patient should be made to
feel that the nurse is interested in his
recovery and that everything ID being
done to hasten 1t.
When the physician makes his daily
visit. It is considered mark Of re-
spect for the nurse to arise when he
enters the room and remain standing
unless asked to be seated she should
hand him her written report (Which
will be explained later), answer any
questions he may ask and then quietly
leave the room, and wait outside until
he leaves the sick-room. This gives
the patient an opportunity to talk pri-
vately with the physician about any
thing he wishes Often patient does
not talk freely with the physician nor
tell him essential things, because OF
an inability to confide in him in the
presence OF third party even II that
person is an Intimate relative. Then.
too. the nurse is thus given an oppor-
tunity OF speaking with the doctor
about anything she wishes to know
and Of reporting to him anything she
does not deem 1t wise to say before
the patient.

REN0vAT0R FOR OLD OAK
Nothing Has Been Discovered Better
Than Mixture Our Grand
mothers Used.

Everybody nowadays knows that to
secure a bright polish on an old oak
chest or table there is nothing to
equal elbow grease"
In our grandmothers' days. however.
1t was elbow grease plus one OF their
wonderful and efflcacious homemade
mixtures. Half pint each OF malt
vinegar and raw linseed oil were
mixed with a couple OF drams OF but
ter OF antimony. This formed polish
which. after a good shaking. could be
rubbed on the old wood without fear
OF spelling the color. while it brought
about a bright and glistening result,
far less smeary than the warm beer
which was the old-fashioned farmhouse
renovator for old oak.
