ONCE UPON OCT. 18TH.

Robert Livingston Stevens, who was
born $50 years ago today, in fIoboken,
New jersey, became the worlds first
captain of a steamship when he was
p years old.
His father, John Stevens, who built
the first steamer to make an ocean
trip, the Phoenix, chose Robert to be
it's skipper on that historic voyage
from Hoboken to Philadelphia.
Robert began attracting attention
as an engineer at IT, and grew up to
be as great an inventor as his father.
Among his many inventions were the
Trail which railroads everywhere use;
the first iron-clad warship; the pre-
sent form of ferry-boat and ferry ship;
the first successful percussion-shell
for artillery; the first marine Tubular
boiler.
An equally notable engineer, julius
Walker Adams, was born 1875 years
ago today in Boston. CHS mother
was a Delano, member of the family
from which President Roosevelt is
descended) Without his work, there
would be no healthy large cities.
For he was first to preach the need
for and to devise a comprehensive
system of sewers for cities. Until
Adams began laying out the sewer
system of Brooklyn, when he was 35
no American town had been severed
on a general plan prepared in ad-
vance and no data existed to guide
in determining the proper dimensions
and operation of sewers adapted to
American climatic conditions and
habits. Adams studies and plans
made city life more comfortable and
healthy everywhere.
Probably not one person in a thou
sand whose health and comfort are

1 don't know why, but it's true.

Vincent Lopez, one of the first great
successes as the leader of jazz or
chestra, who in the last year has
caught the fancy of the prancing boys
and girls, all over again with his
new tangled swing stuff. It's almost
sedate, which like saying that an
earthquake is well-behaved. Still,
that's true about the Lopez swing. 1t
is carefully orchestrated and the play
ers are forbidden to go to town on
individualistic tangents. He is con-

which he studied. He. is teetolaler.
He planned to take a swing orchestra
to Japan, which country he is GER

Mrs Oscar Tschirky, wife of the
man whose last name only his friends
know-and some of them don't pro-
nounce correctly-while the whole
world knows Oscar of the Waldorf"
is in a other these days over all the
fuss being made over her husband, in
celebration of their golden wedding
anniversary and Oscars long service
with the hotel. She married her hus-
band in 1887 and moved into an apart
ment on SD Street with his family
She learned to cook at Is and at IL
was able to scare up banquet on
short notice. She hates the recent fuss
and feathers and is always panicky
lest someone call on her for speech.
She cooks for her husband several
days a week now. She says: Its
pleasure. Oscar is so easily pleased.
He'll eat anything" They have dinner
at noon in the old-fashioned way. The
evening meal they call supper and it
is usually cold dishes and little re-
arrangements of the big midday re-
past-even as yours and mine on Sun
days She says that Oscar will eat
anything she sets before him and
never complain or even seem to know
what he's eating. His mind is else
where. He's thinking about food.
