a square on the rod room floor about the

him working so hard all by himself, so
volunteered to help him partition off a
private office.
Johnson, head-potman in room 32,
says Stepp may be a high stepper, and
Sapp Price a tapping tapper, but he was
going to see that 32 beat 34 tapping
one day, anyhow. So according to re
ports he had an extra crew helping tap,
and took some men from the other side
of the house to birdhead all pots ahead
of the tappers; and then let 34 beat him,
anyhow.
The Pot Rooms have finally accepted
prohibition, and we have Mr. H. R.
Wake to thank for it. Don’t know what
argument he used, unless he claimed his
hot weather substitute for beer wouldn’t
even hurt a baby. But anyhow the milk
they have been furnishing us three times
a day is gaining rapidly in popularity,
and no bad effects have been noticed.
Mr. H. C. Hightower returned the
first of the month from Mar>'\’ille, and
took up his old job of tapping in room
28; but unfortunately was again called
home on account of his father’s bad
health.
This may not be the proper place to

make known the fact that Mr. Dave
Swagerty has a new Pot Puncher up at
his house. Of course, we are not wish
ing the young man any hard luck; that
is just what the boys named him.
Mr. A. L. Culveyhouse was an interest
ing visitor a few days ago. He was in
the signal corps of the Thirtieth Division,
and had some exciting experiences to
relate. He will be remembered here as
flook-walker on the three o’clock shift.
According to advance dope, the Pot
Rooms are going to give a good account
of themselves in baseball on both sides
of the color line.
Somebody ask Ralph Sturkey what he
was looking for on the coke pile, April 1.
Electrical Notes
The electrical work at the Falls power
house is nearly completed, and the wheels
will probably begin to turn on May 1.
The finishing preparations are under
way, and those thousand and one little
“finishing touches” are being put.
Mr. Lockman, who installed the water
wheels, is thru with his part of the
“game,” and just looks on at the others
still working, with a why-don’t-you-fin-
ish-too expression on his face. Then he
goes to Mr. Seabrook, the General Elec
tric Company erector in charge of the
erection of the big generators, and asks,
