Here is another curiosity, pointed out

If the cardinal numbers from to Q

piled by o, be used as multipler the
result will be a succession of figures
the same as that multiplied by 8. For

Dayton computed the number of
her guests BY figuring that the mass
ed, tightly packed square within
which the crowd heard the speeches
was 130 yards on one side and $50
yeards on the other. 1t so contained
1880 square yeards. This, filled
with people packed four to the yard,
would accommodate $4,000 persons.
Since many of the crowd were not in
the square but still were on the
streets, a more accurate estimate of
Dayton's guests would be 100000
persons, old newspapers accounts re-
lated.
Dayton fed her multitude and no
one went hungry nor thirsted. A great
public table was set where "log cabin
fare and plenty of it" was served at
no charge. Much of the food was
brought in by farmers, whose baskets
were turned over to a committee for
disposition and division.
Food Free

taurants soon were eaten out of COM

especially those of the Wings, had

Harrison was elected to the presi-

death in 1841.
Incidentally Dayton was so pleased
with its big convention that it in

Nearly equalling the Harrison con
vention in numbers and enthusiasm

ton of Henry Clay for President, The
town had grown little between the
two conventions, probably about 1000
persons.

Palestine with President Truman

whether any shift in United States
policy on the Holy Land might be
in the making.

However, Mr.. Lehman said he
favored a limited" truce between
warning Jews and Arabs and an i'm
mediate trusteeship for the Jerusa-

He suggested the truce should last
three or four months. During that
time, he added no final decision
should be made on either trustee
ship for all Palestine or on parti-

and Arabs
The truce, he added, should pro-
vide for substantial immigration
and land purchase" and the exclu-
