Mr. Christopher Schroth and his French brifle have recently gone 

 housekeeping, and judging from Chris's cheerful countenance are en- 

 joying the experience. We are ready to vouch for his regularit}' at 

 meals. 



Mr. Joseph Zuckerman has just been married. Here's wishing hap- 

 piness to him and his bride. 



Mr. Thomas Hines recently underwent an operation for the removal 

 of tonsils and adenoids. 



We are sorry to report that Mr. Charles P. Moyer recently suffered 

 severe cuts on both hands in a fall incurred while carrying a bottle of 

 water. (We feel that he would like us to specify the contents of the 

 bottle.) 



A fire-proof storage room for paper stock has recently been erected 

 in the East Basement. 



A large collection of Egyptian archaeological material has been 

 donated to the Museum by Mr. August Heckscher, of Huntington, 

 Long Island. It contains about 4,000 specimens of flint implements 

 of which a few are from the New Stone Age, but the great majority from 

 the (31d Stone Age of Egypt. They represent nearly the entire result of 

 fifteen years of collecting by Mr. Robert de Rustaf jaell. being nine-tenths 

 of the collection made by him. The balance has been placed in the 

 Huntington, Long Island, Museum. 



Dr. Lowie has moved from the office he formerly occupied in the 

 West Wing to a room in the Southwest Wing. 



Mr. Robert Ximmo has completed some very excellent reproduc- 

 tions in tin of various plants and flowers. It will be recalled that some 

 time ago Mr. Nimmo made a sufficient number of musical(?) instru- 

 ments of tin to equip a fairly large orchestra known as the All- American 

 Museum Tin Jazz Band. Those who have attended their concerts will 

 remember the experience. We don't know what has become of the 

 A-A. M. T. J. Band, but there is a rumor that it was forced to give up its 

 activities for fear its vociferous noon-time strains might reach the ears 

 of the timid okapi and send him, in a few terrified leaps, back to his 

 native rain-forest in the Belgian Congo. That would make Messrs. 

 Lang and Chapin face the nuisic with a vengeance!
