D. Drye boards. We are Place boarding at the same sympathy with the boarding house people for being so unfortunate as to have a man like Drye. That fel low Drye actually wears red shirts like drug store clerks wear, and worst of all he has been seen carrying parts of a skeleton around with him in a long pa per bag. But we have got to hand it to Drye after all, for he always finds some way to break the monotony. We are carrying a load of approxi mately forty thousand kilowatts on two units. Of course the units are over loaded, but not enough to cause any trouble. The temperature has been up to ninety-five degrees centigrade several times, but that is not enough to cause any trouble by any means. These units are designed to run indefinitely with a twenty-five per cent, overload, which would be 22,500 kilowatts each; but we never have run with the twenty-five per cent, overload, only for a test. The postoffice inspector was down to see Fred Childers February 24, in re gard to the appointment to the post mastership of the Badin postoffice. Af ter having a very few minutes’ consul tation with the old boy, Fred declined his first intentions, and wrote out a statement to the First Postmaster-Gen eral that he was no longer a candidate for postmaster of Badin postoffice, and passed the statement to the inspector, and said: “Au revoir, Monsieur.” At the Mountain Club, a voice like this: “Chu, chu, spring, hong, plunk,” any time of the night can be heard. The only way that the people of the Club can account for this is, John Page has two automobiles—one a six-cylinder and the other a four-cylinder. Some of the Club people think that Page stays up at night and works on the automo biles, while others are inclined to think that the old tired-out, run-down auto mobiles are having nightmares. The Power House is “spick and span” now, and we would suggest having a few visitors once in awhile. The Nar rows is an interesting place, so I would suggest that the Badin High School come down and give the place a look-over— I mean the teachers. We have a man, Mr. Clark, on the operating force, who shows a great deal of interest when lady teachers are around. Electric Shop Kelly has just finished testing a little motor, with some remarkably human characteristics. In fact, all motors seem to show human characteristics; and they are distributed around among the motors just about the way they are among hu mans, too. This particular little motor showed a greater willingness at the start than ’most any motor you ever saw. It would bear down on the belt and start a load in less time than lots of bigger motors could. After it got its load go ing in fine shape, it would just naturally lay down on the job—it didn’t keep it going nearly as fast as lots of smaller motors could have done. If you tried to crowd it, it got hot, and showed signs of quitting.
