sturdy little chap who looks like and
is Pennsylvania Dutchman.
The job of Viehmeyer's section, 10
Gated on the third floor. D wing. is
to put the face on the baby bonds and
other Federal securities. Only wet
printing is done here. so every day
the enormous, high ceilinged room is
filled to overf1owing with freshly
dampened patches of bonus bonds.
AS mentioned earlier, all Of them
have already been tinted and backed.
Up in Ollie's room IS presses are
changing away day and night. They're
running two shifts, you see. Some
so printers are employed and 100 girls
feed the presses and assist the print
ers in other ways. The average output
is 2,4OO bond sheets pei press, or
120 1000 a day.
One thing Viehmeyer is especially
proud of . that his girls are almost
wizardlike in their accuracy. Each
one, it seems, assumes responsibility
for every bond that passes through
her hands, so that If she loses one
she pays for it right out of her own
pocket. But the loss, even on yearly
basis, averages less than one one
thousandth of per cent.
Nobody ever loved his job more or
took more personal pride in it than
does Ollie. He offers you rapid-flre
monoloque about his machinery that
fairly takes your breath away. It
runs something like this:
"See that machine? That's the one
that makes the bond. Each machine
has a man and girl working on it.
Watch the pair of them and you'll
Evening star., 1936-03-22

'The bonds themselves are fed into
the Offset press around an impression
cylinder and the printed impression
on the rubber blanket is transferred
to the bonds"
THE next operation which Mr.. Dun
can shows you, is the printing OF
the back portion Of the bond. which
includes all the instruction and iden-
tification data for the veterans. Ex-
actly the same Offset procedure as cut
lined above Is used in this connec-
tion.
Right now. Mr.. Duncan has only
200 persons actually working on the
bonds. However. you ask him, granted
that an emergency arose and his en-
tire staff Of 1900 people in the sur
face printing section could be util-
lied, what would be his maximum
daily output Of the bonus bonds? He
claims they actually could put out a
million a day, that is to say, tint
them and put on the backs.
Next you visit an enormous room
known as the wetting section. It
smells like laundry and certainly
looks like one. It Is In charge Of the
venerable and genial c. B. Keller.
who has been in the bureau for 80
years. He works directly under
Thomas Heany. head Of the plate
printing division.
Mr.. Keller's section vets about
100000 sheets Of bonds each day!
But why are they dampened? For a
number of reasons, first, because wet
paper which Is to be faced. lays on
the printing plate far better than
Evening star., 1936-03-22

otherwise, and secondly, Is able to
take the ink out of the plate in more
efficient fashion.
However, the workers must be ex-
ceedingly careful not to let too much
water get into the certificates. If SO,
the printer won't even try to perform
his all.important task, for at best it
would be rather messy looking If the
paper Is too damp. Excess moisture
is taken out by a very simple method,
the dripping bonds are laid between
dry sheets that bear close resem-
blance to ordinary wrapping paper.
Every day Mr.. Keller's colleagues
weigh a number of test" certificates,
thousand sheets at time, to make
sure that the water content is exactly
right. They've found that each thou
sand ought to average about eight
pounds of water.
There are five wetting machines and
two girls work on each one. So, all
told. there are 10 girls constantly on
the job dampening the bonds. The
machines are long affairs and they
work very simply. piles Of dry paper
are put into one end and en- route to
the other end. where the girls collect
Evening star., 1936-03-22

them, stack and count them, are
numerous holes through which water
pours from a sprinkling system not
unlike the ordinary sprinkler used in
your garden.
Mr.. Keller's facilities are such that
this section can, If necessary, wet
10000 sheets a day. These are
stacked, 200 sheets in a bunch, be-
meath heavy aluminium plates. Under
ordinary conditions the certificates re-
main in the wetting room about a
day and half before they're actually
printed.
BEFORE we forget. there's also a
machine to fiatten them down
The papers are left underneath it for
about 80 minutes in stacks of 5000
and then they're in proper condition
to be stacked.
And now. folks, meet jolly Ollie, Off
cially in charge Of the face section.
His real name Is o. T. Veihmeyer. but
he's such friendly fellow that nobody
ever calls him by his last name.
Ollie has served the bureau faithfully
and well for 80 years, but you'd never
guess that he's an old timer. He's

velt's becoming Governor of New
York, the stepping stone to the
Presidency, Howe had bedtime
talk with him practically every
evening on affairs of the day. While
Roosevelt was Governor Howe
would go up to Albany from New
York City several days of each
week.
In Manhattan, he lived like re-
cluse. When the family was out of
town he ate by himself and then
went to the Roosevelt town house
where he read detective stories.
Howe was born in Indianapolis
January IA, 1871 Later his father
acquired a newspaper in Saratoga,
N. Y, and the son gravitated nat
uraliy into the business, becoming
first a Saratoga correspondent for
metropolitan dailies and then Al
bany representative of the old New
/, York Herald.
He married Grace Hartley Of
Fall River. Mass, in May, 1899. A
daughter, Mary tMrs. Robert H
Baker, and a son, Hartley E, Howe
Iwho followed his father and grand
father. into newspaper work, wer'
born to them.

ATTENTION: TENNIS PLAYERS!

To cover the cost of necessary
repairs to the tennis courts this
season, it will require the usual
dues of $500 and Mr.. Charles E.
Harland is again attending to the
matter Of putting the courts in
first class shape and will also give
his time to work of collecting the
needed funds. Members will help
greatly by mailing in checks for
their annual dues, sending same
to Mr. Harland, Box No. 1893, or
leaving the checks at his office in
the ]. B. Burford Store. Persons
desiring to use the courts who
have not yet joined the club should
contact Mr.. Harland or City Clerk
A. W. Henning, and arrange for
payment of the required fees.

collapsed, although chimneys and
,ornices cascaded to the ground.
Insurance companies found that on
" five per cent of the $350,000, 900
damage from quake and fire were
lirectly attributable to the quake.
Flames broke out almost at once
n scores of places and spread with
1ut hindranoe as the citys water sys-
5em had been jolted to pieces. BY
evening of the first day eight square
miles had been burned and 100000
of the city's 425.000 residents had
deserted their homes in panic.
Whole blocks of buildings were dy-
namited to create firebreaks. Au-
thorities herded 100000 of the ref
ugees into Golden Gate Park and
made desperate efforts to supply
them with food and water.
Wind Famed Flames
On the second day a stiff wind
famed the flames to new fury and
cut off egress down the peninsula
on which San Francisco is situated.
With the third day the fire abated
somewhat but completed the ruin of
the financial and shopping districts
1t was not until the fourth day
that citizens could set to work to re-
store the $4,000 buildings which lay
in emberS.
The catastrophe occurred before
the days of city planning, and rap
id rebuilding, authorities admit,
showed more courage and zeal than
wisdom. The city of today is one of
skyscraperS and lofty apartment
houses crowded close together.
Engineers say that in case of an
other quake few if any buildings
would fall San Francisco, however,
wildly remembers the fire" ana
is a city on guard against a possible
repetition of such havoc.

Great Nervous Energy
launched in a chair, he would
peer from soft brown eyes in a
thin, scanned face over high piles
of papers on his desk. The papers,
the desk and the room seemed to
dwarf him. Most expressive were
his hands. Grasping telephone,
holding a paper or cigarette, they
seemed to disclose the nervous en-

Howe disliked titles, particularly
the flamboyant Colonel although
he was very proud of being re-
ferred to as Roosevelt's close
friend. He was interested in pho
Biography, enjoyed old friends as
well as old clothes, while the sea-
