was so terrific that trees within q

BiII-Sfretcher
Page Boy Beats Senators
at Their Own Game
International News service Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The
"bill-stretcher," an imaginary ma
chine with a far-from-imaginary
purpose in legislation, was an in
tegral feature of the initiation of
every new senator and Senate
page-boy.
Every bill sent from the House
to the Senate is always length
ened. And if ever a neophyte
statesman asked how this length
ening was accomplished, veteran
senator would reply:
with the bill-stretcher, of
course"
Freshmen in the Senate page
boy corps were invariably sent on
fruitless hunt for the device.
1t remained for Tullos Rust, a
newly appointed page-boy, TO de-
liver what had never existed.
His "bill-stretcher" was a weird
gadget composed of spare parts of
office machines, rubber bands and
paper clips, all, he said, to be pro-
PEELED by a senatorial flick Of the
wrist.
