-Na! NSe HIS StOfN tfatle
 There is tradition in one of the shops how a good smoke on a cig r. helped solve a problem regarding 2 machine which resulted in very profitable change of operations for the boss. in spite of the fact that the smoke was in direct violation of the rules which he himself had drawn up. AS the tradition goes therc was a machine which. while doing two operations well. was Sc- lected by the boss as capable of do- ing two more. He turned the matter over to the master mechanic an1 thought no more of it. In turn t vas given to one of the men and he started working upon it. This mon assembled a lot of gears and went to work. But he failed to make any headWay. Opening his tool box his eyes chanced upon a cigar that hap pcned to have been there and he put it in his mouth wishing he could have a good smoke as he sat dow to study out his problem. He finally arrived at a solution but it would re- quire some special gears such as lie knew were not in the shop and would also involve a heavy expense.
 As he sat thinking deeply on the matter and trying 10 find a solution the boss passed by and observing the cigar in the mans mouth iA seeming violation of the shop rules he stopped and asked the man whGt he was doing with the cigar, ana also what the problem was.
 You don't think that gool smoke would help, do you?" he ask ed in rather an odd way.
 You are right. it would" re- piled the man with the desire strong CT than ever.
 The boss pulled a match out of his pocket. lighted it and thrustin5 it under the end of the cigar sail "Go ahead and have your smoke anI see what it will do"
 The man said nothing but smoked or in silence for a while and then the big idea came to him. Throwing the butt Of the cigar away he be- came very busy for a few moments shifting gears around and when the boss returned a little later the prob lem was solved, without having 10 go outside the shop for new gear and the machine was ready to Go four operations where it formerly did two. Incidentally it resulted in a good profit for the boss with only d very slight expense.

PRESIDENT AND THE HOUSE

Decision by President Hoover to make public the report Of his pro- hibition enforcement commission without waiting for both branches of Congress to appoint members Of a joint committee to receive it and perhaps take action upon 1t means that the House has won a victory over the executive by refusing to appoint it's share of such commit tee. Speaker Longworth and Ma .. jority Leader Tilson took the view that the Hoover procedure would disrupt the methods Of the House, although the Senate with alacrity fell in line with the Presidents plan. Beneath the surface is desire of the House not 10 accept too much responsibility, If indeed any. regard ing prohibition enforcement If any bucks are to be passed, as the saying goes, they will not move in the di- rection Of the capitol building.
 The preliminary crime report made by Chairman Wickersham says that law enforcement machinery in this respect is entirely inadequate-- a statement not new. The main re- port, that on prohibition. is expected next week from the President What will count most is what will be done later. In the past there have been many reports made by probers of all sorts but very little action follow cd Too many commissions or in Quiry" merely provide opportunities, for delay.

C. P. o. T.. Praise of Mayor
 Will Handicap Its Candidate


 Just about the time political an alysts get the situation straighten".l out to their own satisfaction, along comes the Citizens Property Own- CTS association to the fore with s.n assertion that spills over the sap bucket.
 Since the association acquired it's | segment of the limelight it has de- voted it's energies to attacks on the manner in which city business has been administered. Consequently, # has been believed that it would hurl it's animus at Mayor Paonessa when the political campaign blossomed in the spring. To the surprise of the multitudes, the association last week issued a statement in which tho mayor was accorded effulgent , praise for his methods and his accomplishments.
 Despite the fact that the mayor is official head Of the city. the bad boy Of government, according to the association, is the common council which flies in the face of proyi- dence, upsets all economic and financial theory with joy and elan. snaps it's fingers under the nose of the property owner who is grooming from the burdens of taxation and violates all the commandments. The mayor. on the contrary. still accord ing to the association. has laborcd industriously 10 alleviate conditions which make owning property a hardship.
 Whether the situation is as de- scribed is no special business of tn {. Observer. But the thought has oc- to toss brick bats at each other come next spring, the mayoralty candi- date of the C. P. 0. A., if the C.. r. o. A. has a mayoralty candidate, will find himself handicapped by the virtual endorsement of Mayor Paonessa by the association. So far as attacking Mayor Paonessa is con- celned. if Paonessa is in the field for reelection, his hands will be tie l and his lips sealed. Unless the candi- date repudiates the C. P. o. A. or the c. P. 0. A. repudiates it's state ment, it cannot assail the stewarl- ship of the present incumbent.
 And that We should say, like the cat that licked it's whiskers, woul1 be nice kettle Of fish.
