LOOKING
BACKWARDS
INVENTIVE GENIUS
LIVES IN MOUNTAINS
Invention of Esau Buchanan Nay
Revolutionize the World of
Machinery and Transportation
(From An Old Scrap Book)

(ErOm AN OlQ scrap 6OOhl
Osborns Gap, Nov. IA - The
men who rack their brains to
gain inventive ideas are not al
ways the men of wealth and ed
ucation. The oft-repeated fact
that necessity is the mother of
invention" gives the key to the
workings of inventive genius.
The men of wealth, affluence and
rank are, in a measure, satisfied,
and their powers along the line
of research become somewhat
stagnant-no stern necessity to
arouse them to action.
This little prelude is designed
to pave the way for the introduc
ton of a man without wealth or
education, and known to but few
beyond the limits of his own
county who has just secured
patent for an invention which
experts predict will revolution
ize the world of machinery and
transportation. He was born in
what was then Wise (now Dick
enson) County, Va, June 6, 1864.
His father. George Buchanan,
was a sturdy, Woodworking far
mer, and his children were
brought up under rigid disci-
pline and early imbibed the les
sons of thrift and economy. They
believe it unwise, if not MORALLY
wrong to engage in anything as
a mere pastime, and that does
not answer some practical end in
life's great school. Young Buch-
anan had no educational advan-
tages in his youth, attended the
district schools for two or three
months during the winter sea-
sons working and doing chores
about the farm the remainder of
the year. He says he can "read
some, write a little and cipher
less" That is about the extent of
his ''book larnin," but he has not
been idle, and in practical, ev-
ery-day sort Of way he has OBJ
served many things not visible
on the mere surface.
The Buchanan Brothers, of
which firm Esau was a member,
owned and operated grist mill
which was propelled by Steam,
and while watching the workings
and contemplating the power of
the steam as it passed from the
engine to- drive the machinery,
he saw the wasting or expanding
of the force generated by the
steam and gradually conceived
the idea of increasing this force,
rather than allowing it to dimin
ish. He tells us that it was not
long, however, until "a tangible
form was evolved from chaos,
and presented clearly to his mind
for the auxiliary attachments
that would serve the purpose he
had in view. Then be began to

0PA District Office
Due 10 Settle DISPUTE
In Alexandra Today
Aubry Granted Gasoline
Following Conference
On Fuel Oil Case

The Roanoke district office of the
Office of Price Administration was
expected to announce today a set
tlement of the dispute between
Richard j. Aubry, Civil Aeronautics
Administration employe, and the
Alexandria Ration Board.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Aubry, who was
left without gasoline for his automo-
bile when the Alexandria board held
up renewal of his B book pending
settlement of the dispute over oil
rations for his home at 708 Grand
view drive, was given his gasoline
coupons yesterday following a meet
ing between national, district and
Alexandria OPA officials.
Mr.. Aubry said he was informed
by Laurence L. Vass, head of the
national OPA fuel oil section, that
he could obtain his B book by call
ing personally at the Alexandria
Board Office, or sending an author
lied representative. Mr.. Aubry said
he would not call again at the
board, but an acquaintance picked
up the book
Mr.. Vass also informed him, Mr..
Aubry said, that he would receive a
new fuel oil ration by submitting
proper house measurements to the
Alexandria Board, and could appeal
to the board if the allotment was
insufficient.
The dispute between Mr.. Aubry
and the board arose when the CAA
employe failed to appear before the
board to explain an error in his
fuel oil application. The board or
dered deliveries of oil to his home
stopped, but later the tanks were
filled on orders from the national
OPA.
The entire Alexandria Ration
Board threatened to resign, effective
Monday, because of the interfer-
ence by the national OPA in the
dispute.
Capt. James S. Douglas, chief
clerk of the Alexandria board, said
he could make no statement con-
corning the settlement of the dis
pute. since "gentlemen's agree
ment" had been made that all an
nouncements would come from the
Roanoke Office.

0akton School Plans
To Continue Glasses
In Other Quarters
Structure to Replace
One Burned Yesterday
Unlikely Before FoII

Fairfax County school officials and
residents of Oakton today were
pushing plans for the establishment
as soon as possible of emergency
school facilities in the community
for the $50 students of the Oakton
Elementary School, which burned
early yesterday.
Supt. of Schools w. T. Woodson
said both Oakton churches have
been offered by their congregations
for use as schoolrooms, in addition
to number Of other single rooms in
the community. He said, however,
that 1T is doubtful If arrangements
can be made to open the school by
Monday morning."
Mr.. Woodson said efforts would be
made to resume classes as soon as
possible, and that If possible all
groups of children would be kept
together. He said that while hard
ships were expected, officials and
parents felt it was better to keep
classes under their same teachers.
Discussing the problem at a meet.
ing last night of the Oakton School
and Civic League, Mr. Woodson said
plans would be made Immediately
by the School Board for erection Of
a new building on the site of the old
school. He warned, however, that q
new building hardly could be COM
pleted before the beginning of the
fall term.
Mrs. Blanche Wheat, principal Of
the school, told parents that nearly
l 500 books were destroyed in the
fire. She said she hoped a new
library could be started Immediately.
In addition to the two churches,
which would house at least four
classes, schoolrooms we're offered by
Harry Blake and Mrs. Helen Hill
Miller. 1t also was pointed out that
number of rooms might be obtain
able in Vienna. The Oakton School
employed seven teachers.

County Board Backs
Arlington Bar 5 Plan
For New Court Circuit
Association Presses
For Subdivision of
Present District

The Arlington County Board to-
day Endorsed q resolution unani-
mously adopted yesterday by the
county Bar Association seeking to
establish separate judicial circuit
for Arlington.
The bar resolution, presented by
Oren r. Lewis, county attorney
proposed that two bills to set up
the new circuit be introduced by
the county's representatives in the
General Assembly session that opens
next week. The bills already have
been prepared.
Arlington at present Is . part Of
the 10th judicial circuit that includes
Prince william and Fairfax Coun-
ties and Alexandria City. Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy, who has ap-
proved the proposal, Is the circuit
Judge.
The first bill, made up in standard
form for such legislation, asks that
Arlington County be removed from
the 10th circuit and be constituted
the 35th Virginia circuit, effective
Immediately on passage.
Court Terms Set Up.
The second bill asks that the reg
ular terms of the proposed circuit
begin on the third Monday of each
october, December, February, April
and June. These dates are the
same as for the present court. with
the exception of the December ses-
sion, which begins on the second
Monday.
The resolution, which some county
lawyers feel to be tantamount to
enactment of the bills, states that
the population Of the 10th circuit
has increased from 58,l22 in 1910
to 253, 900 at this time. Arlington's
population has increased from
10000 to about 100000.
Stating that this increase, with
corresponding increases In public
and private litigation and other
judicial work, has so expanded the
business of the court, Mr.. Lewis
pointed out that 1t is now imprac-
ticable for the duties to be dis
charged by a single circuit judge
He stated that Arlington's removal
from the 10th circuit was fair and
adequate solution of the problem.
Committee Appointed.
After adoption of the resolution,
John Mccarthy, association presi-
dent, appointed a three-man COM
mittee to confer with the county
board and the bar associations of
the other areas Of the circuit to in
sure its passage. Committee men,
bers are Judge Harry r. Thomas,
Thomas Phillips and Mr.. Lewis.
The County Boards action, which
came at its regular meeting, means
that the county will assume 50, 70C
of the judges $5,400-a-year salary
The State pays $2,70O. Under the
present arrangement, Arlington
Fairfax and Prince William Counties
and Alexandria divide the $2,7OO
balance.
The association also adopted a
resolution recommending to the
judge of the County Court, Hugh
Reid, that the present method of
keeping court minutes be simplified.
A resolution to increase the salary
Of the associate trial justice was re-
ferred to a committee for report
within the next week.
