ON WH|TE0WL
Gay Party In "Soup and Fish
Fight Flames Aboard
Houseboat.

A very select party Of diners on
the ornate barge. the White Owl,
anchored in Washington Channel,
opposite the War College. was
thrown into confusion shortly after
10 o'clock last night when flames
burst from the lighting plant In the
bow and for q time threatened to
spread to all parts of the craft.
The dinner was given by Con-
gressman John Philip Hill of Mary
land and Mrs. Hill, and the guests
consisting of other Congr.ssmen
and some social leaders Drawing the
torrid weather here. were invited
to meet Walter Dillingham;, the new
delegate from the Hawaiian islands.
No sooner had the cry OF Sire"
been raised than the group OF thirty
persons resolved itself into Its mas
culine and feminine components, the
former charging on the blaze In
evening clothes and the LITTER, IN
veritable titanic fashion, being low
cred in all their finery TO the
launch lashed to the White Owls
garish side.
Then from upstream came the
siren howl OF the Firefighter, and
she foamed down on the White Owl
with all nozzies on the smoking
barge. Meanwhile, things had been
happening both on board, and along
the adjacent Speedway, thronged
with automobiles. Congressman
Hill. lieutenant colonel in the A.
e. F., and holder Of the Croix de
Guerre from the scrap around Yer
dun, had ruined a perfectly good
costume of black and white and
several Of his guests were grimed
and frayed.
The hand extinguishers, however,
had done most effective work and
danger was over when the Fire
fighter drew alongside. An appre-
ciative and constantly augment!ng
audience shouted encouragement
from the shore and sparrow cups"
rode wildly about with great ANNA
ton but obscure detectives,
The ladies comported themselves
with most creditable reserve. Not
faint, not a scream. They SEEM
ed as well trained as a liners crew
standing by the small boats in an
abandon ship" drill.
After II was all over. a report
was made to the police Of S. dam
age.
That doesn't cover the cost Of the
evening clothes, of course.

The South.
1t is a curious fact that the people
of the southern states lag far behind
those of the north in respect to the
exercise of inventive talent. The sharp
ly competitive conditions in the north
seem to give rise TO that necessity
which is said to be the mother of in
vention." AS one wag in the patent
office expressed it:
How could the people of rock
bound Connecticut live unless they
carve out wooden nutmeg now and
them"
In the south few people turn their
wits in that direction. For the whole
state OF South Carolina only eighty
patents were issued during 1921, or
one for every 2l,046 inhabitants. The
record for other typically southern
states follow: Georgia, 1870 patents or
one for every l6088 inhabitants; North
Carolina, 148 patents or one for every
1922; Arkansas, ninety-two patents
or one for every 1906; Alabama, 1873

sissippi, ifty-seven patents or one for

Connecticut Leads.
Connecticut retains its prestige as
the state where inventive talent has
reached its fullest flower of develop
ment. Generations ago Connecticut
was nick-named the Wooden Nut
meg" state as take-off on the extra
ordinary proficiency OF its inventors
and the records OF the United States

it has maintained its record OF having
more inventors per population than
anv other state in the union.
During the year 1921 the number OF
patents issued to citizens OF Connecti-
cut was GAO, or one for every 1854

"You see, my dears," said Mr.
Peerabout, the Naturalization, as
he leaned back comfortably in his
rickety old chair and stroked his
beard, "the moon is different from
the earth.
"The things you value on earth
We moon people don't care about at

down there we prize highly.
Take our cities, for instance, that
you think are so wonderful, one
built of carved ice-blocks, another OF
white marble inlaid with jewels, and
one of ivory and pearl.
"They might be called handsome
on the earth, but up here they are
slums where the poorest people live.
People who have nothing to eat but
roasts and cake and fruit and fine
sauces, and nothing to wear but vel
vets and satins and embroideries and
laces and handsome furs live in
these cities.
