Odds and Ends From a Century Ago
A collection of quips and facts includes a thanks to Chairman Col. J. J. Brooks for conducting a meeting, a joke about a girl, and a witness exchange. Notes mention Britain using two million gallons of petrol daily and a Glasgow chimney 265 feet tall with a Burton on Trent rival at 373 feet.
