Col. Cosby Chief Smoker.

So far as the machine-smoked brand is
concerned, the employees of the depart
ment say that Col. Cosby now superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds,
really smoked the most of them. He was
superintendent of the Washington aque-
duct when the machine was first installed.
and as II was run by hydrant power, ii
was always claimed that the colonel was
really the vicarious smoker. as il were.
There was never any trouble about the
cigar testing after the machine was put
on the job. till one day the building in
spector was sitting at the back window of
the District building when the wind was
blowing from the Department OF Agricul-
ture. He called up Secretary Wilson on
the phone, and threatened TO arrest him
for violating the District smoke law.
After that the draft from the smok ng
machine was turned into the sewer. and
everything has gone with absolute smooth
ness until Representative Akin requested
information. Well. if he does not get it
officially from the department he will
find ii all here. And some of it is true.
