LUXURY NOW IS
DOMINANT NOTE
OF PRESS ROOM
President Hoover Generous
in Equipping Writers
at Capitol.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Presi-
dent Hoover's faith in good tools
has been applied practically to that
long neglected "no-man's land" of
the White House, the press room.
If you find carpet on the floor
of the Presidents Office, that is not
news: but if you find a rich yellow
rug nailed from wall to wall in a
press room, anywhere, that's news
OF the first magnitude. When the
carpet is IL by 20 feet, that's
epochal.
AS a part of the remodeling of
the executive Offices, at a cost of
$4,000, President Hoover gave a
committee of the White Houses
Correspondents Association author
ity to draw its own specifications
for the work room.
Equipped today with new mahog-
any Office furniture, an electric clock,
running ice-water, private telephone
booths, electric fans, smoking
stands, book shelves, newspaper
rack, and a steel filing cabinet for
speeches and proclamations, the new
quarters represent an investment of
approximately $4,000 from the White
House miscellaneous expense fund.

President Hoover demanded Of his
secretary during an inspection OF
the new room one day as he walked
from his Office to the executive man
sion. Maybe these fellows could
get along with five smoking stands,
and I'll take the other one"

FUSEL OIL MAY
BE POISON IN
WOOD ALCOHOL
Physicians Say Impurities
Cause Blindness to
Drinkers.
Bgs,iencc Serrice

BD Science Serrice
BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-The story
Of the blindness that comes from
wood alcohol has not been told COM
pletely. A further study of this
problem might well be made by the
newly dedicated Wilmer Ophtarl-
mological Institute here, DR.. George
E. De Schweinitz of the University
OF Pennsylvania suggested in his
address at the dedication exercises
Physicians now believe it is not
the wood alcohol but some inpur.ty
IN 1t. possibly fusel oil, which is
nearly always found in commercial
wood alcohol, that causes the blind
ness. The bad liquor prevalent in
recent years often contains wood
alcohol and has been the cause OF
much wood alcohol poisoning and
blindness. However, wood alcohol
may also be inhaled or it may be
absorbed through the skin. This is
an important hazard in certain IN
dustrial operations.
The dedication OF the new
Wilmer Institute, devoted to
the study and treatment of
eye diseases, DR. De Schweinitz con-
sidered an outstanding contribution
to American ophthalmology, which
is the branch of medicine devoted to
the eye. Other landmarks men
toned by this famous eye special
ist were the invention of bifocal
glasses by Benjamin Franklin in
1854; and the establishment of the
