W. J. LITTLE, was the only vet- eran from Lockwood, No. H e claims twenty years' service a s coal chute foreman, and has been a t this one station siiice i t was located a t this point. This was his first reunion, and he enjoyed it immensely.

CONCERNING GEORGE KENGLE

If George Kengle, switchman of Sapulpa, Okla., is dead, he wants the flowers and insurance that are his rights. But Kengle protests vigorously that he is very much alive. During the memorial serv- ices for the deceased veterans held in the Shrine Mosclue the second afternoon of the convention, Ken- gle almost fell out of his seat when he heard "George Icengle" read. The name was correct, but the de- ceased veteran had been an engi- neer a t Tulsa. Kengle is anxious that the correction be made lest he receive embarrassing condolences.

H. B. SMITHMAYER, eastern di- vision engineer with forty-one years' service was in attendance-smiling and greeting old friends.

P. J. MULRENIN, switch engineer of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with twenty-eight years' service, attended the 1926 re- union, for the first time.

S. G. MANLOVE, road foreman of equipment was a familiar figure. H e brought with him his charming wife and daughter, from their home in Sapulpa. His service numbers thirty- eight years. "It's the best reunion so far," he said a s he handed his plate for a helping of barbecued meat.

J. W. THOMAS, northern division conductor with twenty-three years' service, from Neodesha, Kansas, came for a two-day session of good fellow- ship. .

J. C. BROWN and wife came from the central division to the reuoion. Mr. Brown served a s engineer for over forty years. This was their first attendance.

R. F. McGLOTHLAN, a veteran of thirty-eight years' service and during the last years, treasurer of the K. C. I

C. & S. Railway, enjoyed the two- day session of the veterans. His poem "Come All Ye Frisco Veterans" ~ p p c a r e d in the June Frisco Magazine amd his interest and enthusiasm in the reunion was manifest in his cor- dial greetings to friends and his former "buddies."

J. L. KIBURZ, who acted faithfully in the capacity of gateman a t Sequo- ita and made himself generally useful throughout the picnic day, was a friend in need to Walter Hughes, en- gineer on the A. & A. Sub. Hughes, with 27 years' service, came to Spring- field with a load of cattle and with- out a coat to match his linen trous- ers. Kiburz supplied the coat in or- der that Hughes might attend the minstrel show. It was a case of Frisco service under difficulties.

PHIL CONBOY and wife came from Afton, Oklahoma, where he has served a s engineer for forty-one years. "How many reunions have I attended?" h e exclaimed. "Why, all of 'em, and I'm coining to all in the future, too."

WANTS ENGIXE PICTURE Cen B. AIcCrum, pensioned engi-

neer ot Independence, wants the picture of his old engine, No. 19, which is in the possession of some Frisco employe. If the person hav- ing the picture will send i t to the JIagazine department, i t will be forwarded to Mr. McCrum.

E. P. AIAWN, Frisco attorney of Springfield, very elocpently took charge of the memorial services a t the Shrine Mosque. Mr. Mann is a true Frisco veteran and claims forty- one years' service.

I

31. L. ATKINSON, agent a t Chad- wick, Mo., claims many years service a t that point. "I've had thirty-seven years with the Frisco and I've been to three reunions," was his comment.

J. F. McEUEN was a familiar figure during the two days. His home is in Springfield and he has had forty-nine years in the service a s engineer.

WM. HENRY, a smiling veteran, and perhaps one of the best known on the Frisco Lines, greeted old friends. He was formerly master me- chanic a t Monett, Mo., and has had forty-seven years with the Frisco.

A. T. BROWN, agent and wife of Monett, Mo., were present, and en- joyed the two days. This was their second reunion.

ED. HASKELL was perhaps one of the oldest veterans present in point of service. H e began his service In 1873 and has worked for fifty years. his las t service a s bridge and build- ing inspector.

T HE irrepressible good humor of the veterans attending the re. union manifested itself in many

ways during the two-day session, but a t no time did good humor bubble more wholesomely than a t the "Kan- garoo" court held under the shade of a giant elm a t the picnic grounds in Sequiota park.

D. L. Forsythe, who in every day life is road foreman of engines on Frisco Lines, but who on this oc- casion wore the severely smocked blue coat and helmet of the "offisur o' th' law," was busy patroling the park, and hauling all offenders be- fore TV. R. Davidson, Frisco attor- ney of Fayetteville, Ark., who was soaking the fines "hot and heavy" on all and sundry.

"Charley" Baltzell was brought be- fore the Judge a s the first prisoner arrested a s a "dangerous" character, traveling under the assumed names of "Battling Johnson" and "Knoclr- out Brown."

The prisoner plead innocence, and in so doing he informed the court that the arrest was due to an old time grudge which Officer Forsythe held against him-dating back fifteen years when the two were swimming in the old Spring River near Thayer, Mo. On this occasion Officer Forsythe had donned a two-piece bathing suit and Baltzell, in diving, caught the trunks of Forsythe's bathing suit and broke the waist string. A call for he i i~ brought an apron from the laughing

spectators, and Officer Forsythe emerged from the water, in great em- barrassment.

Due to the eloquent manner of hIr. Litty's defense, the prisoner was re- leased with a light sentence. Baltzell was fined $4.00 and sentenced t o dance only five dances during the af- ternoon, and if he was caught danc- ing over the required number he was to be re-arrested and a heavy sen- tence imposed. H. H. Litty of Mem- phis defended the prisoner.

Another case of much interest was that of John Forster, mechanical in- spector of Kansas City, charged with speeding and bootlegging. A sample bottle of Kansas City "jake" was produced as evidence.

Officer Forsythe advised the cowl that Mr. Forster was intoxicated and going forty-five miles an hour, where- upon the prisoner asserted that he owned a Chrysler and it would make seventy-tive miles an hour and he al- ways drove it as fast as it would go. Mr. Litty again pleaded the case of the prisoner and begged for mercy.

Judge: "Well, considering this day of speed and bustle-I'll release the prisoner, providing he'll give us the address of his bootlegger. Next case!"

Then, the Judge proceeded to drink the eridence.

The court tried many more cases during the afternoon, to the delight of the spectators, and strangely enough, of the prisoners.

REUNION SIDELIGHTS (Corltinzied frorn Page 16)

E. C. FRANZ, of Kansas City, Mis- souri, attended the reunion for the first time. "I've been with the Frisco forty years and its the finest road there is," he remarked.

JOHN CLARK, and "Mother" Clark of Kansas City, Mo., mere two of the happiest and liveliest veterans on the ground. Mr. Clark was pen- sioned after serving for fifty-four years a s a conductor.

J. E. SPRINGER and wife, came from Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the reunion.

PERRY ELDER and wife. from Memphis, Tennessee, were among the several road foremen of equipment men and their wives who were pres- ent. Mr. Elder has had twenty-seven years' service.

J. S. NEIDROTH, and wife, from Chaffee, 310.. greeted friends during the two days. hIr. hIeidroth is road foreman of equipment of the river di- vision.

Many veterans attending the re- union in Springfield, June 28th and 29th, felt kneely the absence of George R. Crawford of Memphis, vet- eran Frisco engineer who was retired February 1, 1918, after fifty years a t the throttle. Mr. Crawford lies crit- ically ill in his Memphis home a t thin writing and was unable to rise from his wheel chair to attend the reunion. 1-Ie suffered a paralytic stroke last December. The Memphis delegation spent considerable time explaining why Nr. Crawford was not one of their number. Crawford enjoys the distinction of making the initial run a s engineer on Nos. 105 and 106 over the Southern Division, and he con- tinued on this run for 18 years.

A. K. SMITH thought for a moment and then said, "I started to work for the Frisco in August '72, and I've ..vorlred in many capacities-but most- ly a s conductor." His home is in Hugo, Oklahoma.

C. H. BALTZELL, familiarly known a s -"Charley" kept the veterans in smiles the entire day. He nearly won the fat man's race--mas arrested by the policeman of the day and after a round of activities landed in Spring- field a t the close of the day-with his usual smile. His service with the Frisco totals nineteen years.

Many veterans commented on the attractiveness of the general office girls who served the splendid meal to the banqueters on the second night of the reunion. Miss Mallie King, secretary to G. B. Davis, wan re- sponsible for the attractive costumes of the young ladies. Miss King de- signed them herself and, with two other young Frisco women, made both the caps and aprons.

Fifteen Hundred Veterans Attend 1926 Reunion at Springfield

lCorrtirmed from Page 12)

R. H. Briggs, long beloved master mechanic who died Jnly 3, 1925. H e told them that the one reunion which Mr. Briggs had attended was the most joyous occasion in his life, a d that

a? he believed the spirit of that nne, old mnn was present a t the rennion- even though he had passed out of this mortal life.

Mr. Litty was the first engineer on the old K. C. AI. & B. Railroad and so holds a kindly feeling for the Frisco.

F. H. Shaffer, general manager, was received with enthusiasm. He spoke of the Veterans' Association and of its glowth, and of his sincere desire to be of aid to any of the old Frisco veterans who might call upon him a t any time.

AI. AI. Sisson, assistant general man- ager, spoke briefly, but greeted the veterans with sincere wishes for their continued happiness and many future reunions.

TTr. H. Van Horn, retiring president, thanked the veterans for their kindly support while he was in office and of- fered his help for ally task which they might desire him to perform.

At ten o'clock, almost to the minute, Chairman Fullington dismissed the meeting.

As the strains of "Till TVe Neet Again" floated through the audi- torium, many hands were wrung and many eyes were met.

And the Frisco's fast-flying night trains carried 1,500 veterans to homes in twenty states. sure in the knowl- edge that 1026 was the best reunion of the four that have past, and firm in their intention to return next year and bring more of the other "buddies" with them.

SAFETY FIRST B y Bi-rrce Towirscird

Frisco Fireiirair, Awrory, 114iss.

Safety first on any railroad, is a grand and glorious thing,

Saving men from getting injured, keeps intact the family ring.

When a fellow carries crutches home a t night to liids and Ma,

They all feel that they're deserted, 'cause they've got a n injured Pa.

You may see a broken journal, if you you only use your eyes,

On the railroad where you're working, loaded down with human lives,

You can tell by looking a t it, it's not safe to let it ride,

Think, right then, about their safety. Stop it, boy, don't let it slide.

When you hear a whistle blowing, look around, don't stand and dream.

That big "hog" perhaps is backing down upon your ivory bean.

Wake up, fellows, don't be sleeping, 'round a great big job like ours,

Or some day you'll be found missing, and we'll all be sending flowers.

Always know that every switch point fits up snug against the rail,

And before you hit the crossing, pull that cord and make her mail!

No one ought to suffer for the chance you fellows take,

Always take your time, never falter, don't make any sad mistake.

Let's get busy now, you fellows, prac- tice safety all the time,

A4nd you'll never be remorseful, never have a troubled mind,

For it's bad to feel quite guilty of a thing that caused some guy,

To go home on a stretcher, hurt s o bad they say he'll die.

And so let's be up and doing, watching everything we can,

And a t all times practice safety and protect our fellow-man.

THE GRAPE FESTIVAL

Nineteen Ozark Towns in the Spr ingda le Pageant , Aug. 18

N INETEEN progressive cities in the grape-growing territory of Northwest Arkansas will partici-

pate in the second annual grape fes- tival of the Ozarks, which will be held a t Springdale, Arkansas, August 18. The cities are: Springdale, Siloain Springs, Gentry. Rogers, Berryville, Eureka Springs, Winslow, Lincoln, Hindsville, Sulphur Springs, Harrison, Huntsville, Gravette, Centerton, Low- ell, Prairie Grove, Tontitown and Bentonville.

Last August the first grape festival brought 12,000 people from over the territory to the event, and C. A. Own- bey, of Springdale, general chairman of the executive committee of the festival, expects a n even greater num- ber this year.

Elaborate arrangements are being . followed to advertise the festival.

The luscious Concord grape will feature the publicity which the com- mittee will direct on the event, and carloads of the Ozarlr berry will be sent out to several large cities for free distribution as a part of the ad- vertising plans. More than five hun- dred invitations to attend the festival will be sent to firms handling the grapes grown in the Ozark section, and many of the firms are expected to be represented from cities all over the Middle West.

All cities participating in the cele- bration have been designated a s "provinces", and each province is electing its queen, maids of honor and attendants. The queen of the affair will be chosen a t the festival and Governor Tom Terra1 of Arkansas will officiate a t the coronation.

Booths will be erected i n the Springdale park and each province will have a booth for i t s grape ex- hibit. Prizes will be awarded for the best decorated automobiles, clowns and jesters, ranging in value from $50 to $500.

The entertainment will include speeches, airplane maneuvers and dancing in the evening.

"Nothing but the hand of Provi- dence can prevent the Arkansas grape-growing region from hamesting the third largest crop of grapes in the whole world this year, and nothing but a lack of co-operation can pre- vent the grape festival a t Springdale, August 18, from being one of the greatest festivals of any time and any place," Chairman Ownbey declared recently.

The chairman stressed the festival a s an Ozarlc affair, not merely a Springdale enterprise.

"We want all our grape-growing communities to feel that this is a n Ozark festival," Mr. Ownbey said.

Frisco Lines will be well repre- sented a t the celebration.

The Benefits of Courtesy As Interpreted by the Conductor

By WM. L. U N D E R W O O D , C o n d u c t o r . T u p e l o Sub-Div i s ion

C OURTESY is one of the biggest assets our men of the rank and file hare in dealing with our pa-

trons, both passengers and shippers of freight, for in this age, with com- petition so keen, much business can be won or lost depending largely on the attitude of the employe who comes in contact with the patron. I t is not always the soliciting agents or officials of the passenger or freight departments who a re responsible for securing or losing business, but em- ployes of every department, and, real- izing this, me should always strive to hold up the service of our road to all with whom me come in contact. We should be able and ready to an- swer any question asked, no matter how foolish it seems; always keep- ing in mind the fact that everyone with whom we deal is a potential pa- tron of the Frisco and that each of us, by our attitude toward him, can make him either a booster and pa- tron, or a knocker.

To me the easiest place in the world to lose my temper is a t some highway crossing where our long train has come to a stop for some reason, and before you get still, there mill be two or three, maybe more, automobiles or trucks, with all horns honking full blast a s if life and death depended on their getting across instanter. You stumble over slag and ties in a hurry to get to the crossing and get it open, and they all glare a t you a s if they would like to see you "drawn and quartered".

Then for some reason, the engine crew fails to act on the signal prompt- ly; about that time some brother yells, "WELL, a re you going to keep us here all day?" BANG! goes your last bit of temper, if you a re not care- ful.

But put yourself in the other man's place: A business man hurrying home to snatch a quick dinner and get back to business; a grocery delivery truck hurrying with the order your wife wanted rushed for dinner; perhaps a doctor on an errand of mercy; or a farmer with a truck load of cotton, wood, produce or something, and the very money which he receives for it may be spent for a ticket on our road to visit some distant relative or to take some long-planned vacation trip.

A11 of these people are potential patrons of the Frisco, and it behooves every one of us to be a s courteous a s we can, which mill reflect in the cof- fers of our road.

Sometimes it is difficult to realize the growing problem that confronts our freight crews today. Trains a re growing longer and highway traffic more dense, making it necessary to cut two or three street crossings a s soon a s a train comes to a stop which causes increased delay in coupling up aud getting air pumped off before starting the train. But we, of the Tupelo Sub, are doing our best in meet- ing these obstacles, and, a s a whole, there is very little complaint from the public.

Let's keep up the good work and keep the old Frisco up to what it is now, the best railroad in the South!

CENTRAL D I V J S I O N MEET

T w o H u n d r e d T r a c k m e n G a t h e r a t Chester, Ark., f o r Accident

Prevent ion D a y

T WO hundred central division sec- tion foremen and track men, with their wives and families,

enjoyed a very interesting and educa- tional combination accident preren- tion meeting and picnic a t Chester Ar- kansas, on July 18.

Two extra coaches were attached to train 5 and local stops were made from Monett, No., to Chester, to pick up the section men and their families.

The meeting was called to order a t 10:OO a. m. by 3Ir. B. Hammers, sec- tion foreman of Seligman, who acted as chairman. He introduced Retired Engineer George W. Kirk, who gave the address of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Chester. Mr. S. Kel- ton, assistant superintendent made the response, which was followed by an address by S. R. Kennedy, superin- tendent of the central division. Other educational talks were made by A. Scherry, roadmaster; %. B. Claypool, of the accident prevention depart- ment; E. L. Collette, division engi- neer; Harry Harrison, of the accident prevention bureau, and J. L. Harlan, claim agent.

A discussion of accident prevention and the education of the new em- ployes was led by E. L. Ayles, section foreman of Rogers, Ark., and Howard Bayless of West Fork; Pal Gray of Purdy ; Frank Paschal of Washburn, 310.; Wesley Frank, extra gang fore- man; J. W. Seaborn, section foreman of Chester; Cliff Davis of Avoca, and Henry Dobbs of Greenland followed with suggestions and discussions.

The closing address was given by Harvey L. Joyce, claim agent, who fostered the combination accident pre- vention meeting and picnic.

The meeting adjourned a t noon, and those who were present enjoyed a snmptuous basket lunch. The after- noon mas spent in swimming and a s many of the section men had brought th,eir "fiddles", there was a fiddling contest.

The accident prevention bureau feels that much of the success of the meeting was due to the splendid co- operation given by S. R. Kennedy, su- perintendent of that division, who ar- ranged for the transportation. The next annual picnic of the trackmen will be held a t Washburn, 340.

Frisco men and women everywhere are striving mighti ly these days

I to carry on the work of "Accident Prevention." I t is your duty to help

keep down the list of casualties. See t h a t you do your part.

Performance of Engineer John W. Zachritz, Fireman Joe McLaughlin on trains 7, 8, 9, 10, between Sapulpa and Oklahoma City. This crew kept their own record for the month of June, which indicated a decided interest in saving fuel. The 1500 class engines were used on all trains. Trains 9 and 10 are through runs, while 7 and 8 are locals, which accounts for the dif- ference in the performance.

Another very good fuel record was made by Engineer W. E. Wolfe and Fireman C. S. Davis, who kept their

passenger car miles, used 3% tons of coal, a n average fuel consumption of 5.9 pounds per passenger car mile.

The interest taken by this crew in keeping their own record so complete- ly, is one of the things that is keep- ing the southwestern division in first place in passenger performance, and is a n example which, if followed by more of the engine crews, would be very helpful.

NORTHERN DIVISION G. A. Ermatinger, road foreman of

equipment, reports the following per- formances made by crews on the northern division.

On July 3, Engineer Kinneron, Fire- man Shears, on train No. 105, engine 1054, 12 cars in train, total of 1,188

17, handled 54 loads, total of 180,322 G. T. M. average consumption per 1,000 G. T. M. 56 pounds.

NOTICEFUEL WORKERS For several months the Magazine

MISS LORETTO A. CONNOR. Editor

The Fad of the Hook Rug

I F you haven't tried your hand a1 it yet, you mill soon do so, for American women the length and

breadth of the land have been car- ried away with enthusiasm for the hooked rug. They have taken to making them as a duck to waler and rightly so for this handicraft repre sents the first and most typical of American arts. Did it not appear simultaneously with the Pilgrim and the Puritan?

Necessity made Colonial women dexterous in the a r t of rug making. Even the children of that day were educated up to worlting on them by learning first to make samplers.

TVit11 the vogue for Colonial furni- ture came a revival of interest in the hooked rug. Women who did not in- herit old ones, or perhaps enough old ones, set about malting them, for while there is nothing sophisticated about hooked rugs, they certainly fit in with Colonial furniture better than any oth- e r floor covering. with the beautiful yarns and patterns available for mak- ing them today, they have suflicient dignity to be used in any part of the house.

To hook a rug in the Colonial period required considerable fortitude. Bils of cast-off clothing, drab in color fur- nished most of the material and the matter of worlting in a floral pattern involved quite a problem. They did their own dyeing in those days-yes, and even manufactured their own dyes. Cochineal, madder and nicara- gua were used for scarlet, tumerac for yellow and indigo for blue. Some of the heirlooms bear mute testimony to shortage of material and unreliability of dyeing processes. The family mare, outdoing Joseph's coat in color scheme, or the fireside cat in tri-color are among the anomalies they present.

Hooliing the rug a t present is a vastly simpler process. Attractive designs already printed in guidin: colors on canvas a re to be had in all of the shops. There is nothing of thp hit and miss about the rug of today. Guaranteed all-wool yarns a re made and frames costing from ninety-five cents to $1.50 eliminate the tedium of "worlting over the knee." Gone too a r e the days when one had to , pound ten-penny nails into crochet hooks; these may now be obtained for a few cents.

Despite the difficulties involved, Colonial women did not consider it a

stupendous task to hook a rug seven feet by seven in dimensions. Today's devotee limits herself to one of 36.u 45 inches.

Procure some yarn and a frame and canvas and s tar t in. You will find the work fascinating and revel in your finished product.

THE VOGUE FOR &IAI<ING THINGS

Xo doubt about it, interest in hand- work has scored low for several sea- sons. Fasnionable femininity, shorn of lock and low of heel, togged for active participation in sports on links or beach or court, assumed a scorn- ful attitude toward all traditional womanly pursuits. h'eedlework, painted china and the ilk were rele- gated to the attic o r the junk pile. Although constituting a temptation few women could resist, even raffia work and lamp shade making were considered to be of questionable smartness.

The wind has veered, however, "Malting things" again takes rank among fashionable pastimes. Many of the old favorites a re again coming into their own, but the modern tech- nique of each craft has greatly changed. A fzw suggestions regard- ing the particular handwork most popular a t present may be acceptable:

Quilting Quite the newest of the old fav-

orites is quilting. We a re told that (he revival of interest in patchwork was effected by a clever decorator who utilized a quilted petticoat from Provence a s a cover for an old French love-seat. Presto! he set the world agog over quilting. Ever since this happy thought, quaintly-figured, bright-colored cloth; quilted in small geometric designs is being used not only for the regulation coverlet, but also for covering chairs, benches, and lounges of early American type, and for valances, cushions, chairbacks and even the much-used wall hangings a s well.

Two things contribute to the popu- larity of quilting. One advantage is the simplicity of the stitch and the other that the occupation does not tax the eyes. All one has to do is to follow a chalked design with run- ning stitches. No matter how simple or how intricate the pattern perfec- tion is within the skill of the novice or the veteran. No matter how the

completed quilt is to be used, the pro- cerlure is the same. A frame is neces- , sary, but although special quilting frames are to be had, those used for hooked rugs or needle point a re adapt- ~ b l e for the snlaller quilted pieces. Try out some gay patchwork calico cushions and chairbacks 011 your porch furniture and hammocks. Then listen to the plaudits of your friends and revel in their delightful comments on your originality. I

Net Table Covers Clever needle women, and even

those not so clever should try a hand a t fashioning one of the large net table covers that are coming to be so widely used. These covers a re most effective when they are made of ecru, square mesh net and fall almost to the floor like the old-style table cloths. Fringe makes a very lovely and luxurious finish, although the edge may be left plain and tassels added a t the corners.

A design is usually embroidered on 1

the top in heavy soft creamy cotton. It seems impossible that a few chain stitches here, plus a bit of darning and feather stitch simply run through the lace meshes should produce an effect so elegant and costly looking.

TJNIQUE PRESERVE JARS Many homemakers of torlay do not

feel it pays to bother with canning and preserying in a general way. However, there a re some unusual del- icacies which are well worth the small trouble they cost; and one's preserve closet, if the labels a r e gay and novel and the jars and containers interest- ing, may well become one of the mosl attractive spots in the house-quite a s fascinating, in a way, a s a collection of books or china.

The containers a re almost a s im- portant a part of preserving as the preserves themselves. Alluring jelly glasses may be found in the shops- low ones, six or eight sided, paneled or rounded, some square, some oval. It is quite the thing nowadays to put jellies and preserves in individual molds. These a re a welcome a d d i t i o ~ ~ to gift baskets of home-made goodies, as well as a most welcome boon in the lunch kit. If you have difficulty in finding indivtdual containers, why not use some of the old-fashioned li- quor glasses for the purpose.

If you do any preserving a t all, try to make your preserve closet a thing of beauty by utilizing vari-shaped glasses and quaint stone-ware crocks.

marked Robert Herring, one crisp morning just after he got the tele graph message telling of the attack made by a giant timber wolf on the three teams pulling the mail.

Two small boys about nine year3 old happened to overhear the man talking about the wolf.

"I tell you," said George Herring to Dan Rill. "I tell you what lets. Lets get my sled and our team and rifles and go hunt that wolf."

Dan agreed and they returned to their homes. The next day, just as they mere going to leave town secretly they heard some men talk- ing. One said that the wolf has two thousand in gold on his head.

"Oh boy," whispered Dan. Away they sped, going faster every

minute with big old Duddy in the lead-the other four dogs nearly a s big as Duddy. As they sped along they were thinking about what they would do with the reward.

Suddenly a grey figure leaped for- ward. The great grey wolf had come Instantly the sled was stopped. George grabbed a rifle and buried a bullet in the throat of the wolf. Next Dan fired. His bullet broke its jaw. George fired again. This time it killed him. He had beeu shot be- tween the eyes. They cut off his head and wrapped it up in a fur. Then they followed his traclcs and found a litter of pups. This proved that the giant wolf had been a she-wolf. They dumped the twelve pups into a skin and packed them on the sled. Then they started Pols home.

When the!: got there and asked for the reward, nobody would believe tgern. Finally they took the head to a man who had seen the wolf before and he said i t was the one. The man and the boys then went together to the police and ~ o t the two thous-

How to Auoid Track Motor Car Failures

By A. E. WOOLDRIDGE Assistant to Supervisor of Motor Cars

P RIOR to March 1. there were 011

the Frisco System, tell noto or car maintainers and one oil engine

inspector. When oue of our 1,048 mo- tor cars on the system needed repairs, one of these nien was seut to the scene.

Since June 1, the maiutaining of these cars has been placed under the direct supervision of L. -4. Toupin. supervisor of g.as engines. In place of the eleven men who formerly main- taiued the cars on the entire system. there are now two system motor car inspectors. W. C. Brown and H. E. Tillman, wh!) travel ova. the road. instructing the foremen and operators in the proper operatiou autl mainte- nancc of motor cars which enables them to make slight repairs when ney- essary. Prior to this plan, the fore- men and operators made no repair.; whatever to the cars.

Although these two men cover a!>- iwoximately 3,300 passenger, freight an!] motor car miles a month, an11 tllcir record for one ~nonths s h o i ~ s that they iustructed an average of 1 4 0 men, through the metlilun of th:. AIagazine, I Eeel that valuable infor- mation can he conveyed to the fore- men in regard to the operation of these cars.

This article wiIl deal with several features of motor car o p e ~ a t i o ~ ~ , and if studied. it will show lion trouble may be avoided.

A large number of motor car fail- ures are due to ignition troul)Ies, sim- ply because a large percentage of mo- tor car operators do ~ ~ o t thoroughly understand the ignition system on the motor cars which they operate.

One of the most frequent causes of ignition troubles, is the lack of prop- e r care of the dry batteries. The operator should protect the batteries

from extreme heat, cold and damp- ness. Heat stimulates the chemical action, and shortens the life of the cells, while extreme cold retards the chemical action in the cells so that they will not produce their tull strength. Dampness causes short cir- cuits antl very quickly shortens the I ' f ? of the hattery.

Battery Box Water T ight The battery box must be construct-

ed absolutely water tight. to avoid dampness, ant1 should 1)' well ven- tilated. When the batteries are placed in the b:tttery box they shoulcl bc placed very securely to l i e e ~ th* cells from jolting around loose, since jolting is detrimental aud oftell yer- mits the terminals malting contact and short circuiting some of the cells. A very good yreventative to avoid cells from jolting around in the bnt- teyy container is to pack waste or dry paper between them tightly. Al- ways keep the switch open when car is not in use.

The life of the batteries is inHu- enced by the atljustnlent of the spark coil. The coil should be adjusted to d ~ , a w the least amount of current that will furnish satisfactory ignition. Im- proper spark coil adjnjtment not on- 1)' wastes the battery current 11, drawing a uselessly high current, brlt the high curreut ral~idly burns out the vibrator contact ~ ~ o i n t s , etc.

Operators olten take the spark coil points oft' of the coil lor cleaniug, and in rel~lacing the points do not exer. cise enough precaution to see that the points are in proper alignment and seat flatly against each other. This. results in the coil points burning un- evenly so that they will stick to- gether intermittentlv causing tlie op. erator trouble in locatiug. When

FRISCO SHOPMEN'S PICNIC

young ladies' race. There was a la- dies' needle threading contest, a nail driving contest, and the race to climb the greased pole. A Charleston con- test and a bathing beauty contest added enthusiasm to the spectators, who cheered for their favorites.

The local committee who made ar- rangements or the picnic were: A. E. Godfrey. E. H. Hays, Otho Henderson, W. C. Bush, Virgil Johnson, Joe Boda, L. J. Lyons, H. A. Pickens. W. T. Graves, H. G. Crawford and H. Bran- don, and to them goes tlie credit and praise for the success of the under- taking.

The committee desires to express to the merchants of Monett, appreci- ation of the co-operation which was extenrletl to them. The prizes which mere donated amounted to about $200.

1)rol)er care is esercised in keeping the spark coil contact points clean. and uot too much battery current used, and the coil kept in good ad- justment, there will not be much pit- ting of the coil points or sticking to- gether intermittently. If it is noted that one of the contact points becomes pitted, and the other has a sn~al l mound built upon it, tlie operator xhonltl not uudertalie to file off thi- mound, a s it shortens the life of the points, but to overcome this he should simply change the primary wires which a re attached to the battery. That is. the primary wires which ex tend from the battery to the switch ancl ground connection should be rli- connected from the battery, ancl then the wire which is attached to thr positive terminal should be attached to the neqative terminal, aud the wire \vhich was formerly attached to thal terminal, likewise attached to the positive terminal. This will reverse the direction of the current through the sparli coil, which will tend to re- deposit the mound which has built upon the one vibrator contact, hacli into the cavity which was formed in the other contact.

It mnst be kept in mind that a pri nlary current should never pass through a suarlc coil without havinr a suitable circuit for the secondary current. When the primary current is put through the sparlc coil, a strong secondary current is built up within the coil, antl if this secoudary current does not have a l ~ a t h in which to travel. i t will puncture some o f the insnlation inside of the coil.

Proper Spark Plug Gauge

Proper sparlz plug gauge is another item which should not be o~erloolied a s it has considerable to do in the operation of a motor. Sparli plug points should be set with about ,025 or . N O inch gap betweeu tlir sparlc

Some Pointers For Young Section Foremen By An Old-Timer

By J. A. SOLLARS. Section Foreman, Chaonia, Mo.

I EELIEVE that a few remarks on track work by a veteran section foreman might be of some interest

and value to some of my fellow sec- tion foremen who have been in charge of a section only a short time, and so I am setting down a few ideas in regard to the important business of running a section.

I have learned in many years of experience, that it pays well to dis- charge my duty as a section foreman in the very best way possible by doing good work. using material to the best possible advantage, and culti- vating the good will of the people who live along the right of way or who patronize the railroad. All these things bring good returns. The fore- man makes his job better by improv- ing his section to where it is not a source of worry, and continually in nerd of emergency worlc that costs Ilnnecessary money and calls for criticism.

A foreman should take great pains lo show his men how to do their work properly, explaining the work and assisting the men in understanding (he proper methods. This is just a s essential to the smooth running of a sectioi~, as oil is to a locomotive. Lack of oil will canse the locomotive to heat; lack of ui~derstanding and co- operation between foreman and men will bring about friction that will slow down the work.

Must Plan Work Ahead

Planning the work ahead of time will save many hours and much lost motion. When the worlc is finally started, the tools a re ready, the ma- terial is on the site, the men have been told what to do and the worlc moves on in a smooth manner.

There is great responsibility rest- ing on a foreman to properly super- \.ise the use of material. We all know that materials cost a great deal a t the present time. Ties, for in- stance, cost three or four times as much a s they did when some of us started railroading forty years ago, and while we a re reasonably weli cared for in the way of material issues, we know that there will be no more material furnished us than is absolutely needed, therefore, i f we waste any, our section will suffer ac- cordingly.

The largest item of expense on the average section is that of ties, A section foreman by properly super- vising his tie renewals can save his company a lot of money. some of

which will come back to him for

oLiler material on his own section, an 1 n-ill also allow him to get his sectioll : ~ p in shape where he can be proud of i t and he will sleep better a t night. 1,liowing that he has perl'o~,med his duty well.

A foreman should see to it that ail ties a re placed straight across the track; that the rail has a good full bearing on the ties; that the ties arc spaced uniformly so that each will carry its full share of the load and no more. Ties should be properly spiked by spreadiiig the inside and outside spikes to cover the tie to besl advantage, but keeping spikes out ol' the sap wood and out of season cracks. Spikes should also be driven straight. Driving a spike on a slant, then straightening it, is bad for the spike, the tie and the rail. Nothing a fore- man and his gang can d o will go farther toward malting a good looltiug ~ n t l good riding railroad thau ties well spaced, neatly spiked, and thc! proper number to each rail.

The care of rail is largely a ma:- ter of caring for ties and joints in a proper manner. Ties properly placed across the track, properly adzed. spaced and spiked, do not put un- equal strains on the rail. If you will study your rail failures, you will find, except where there is a flaw or bad material in the rail, that the failure can nearly always be traced to bad track conditions existing a t the time of' the failure or a t some previous time.

Tight Bolts-Good Joints Important Tight bolts and good joint condi-

tions are two very important matters I'or section foremen to watch. It is a hard matter to put on a pair of angle bars and get then1 tight thr first time. It usually requires two or three additional times going over the joint to get the joint to fit up snugly into the web of the rail and to gel the bolt firmly seated to where it will not work loose. Tight bolts prevent battered end rails, pumping joints, wear and tear on ties and road bed. nnd will go a long way toward giving good riding track.

I have recently heard the expres- sion that the same class of section foreman is not being made today, a s was twenty or thirty years ago, and with the idea of helping a little to pass ideas oil to the rising genera- tion, I have written this article. There is no reason in my mind why men now being promoted to foremen. ex- perience coilsidered, cannot make a s good foremen a s those of former years, providing they s l~ow the same interest in their work.

HOW TO AVOlD TRACK IIOTOR CAR FAILURES

plug ~)oints , and i f more than one pluz is required lor a motor, it is well to have all the plugs of the same make, a s different makes of plugs have electrodes of various sizes, etc.. \vhich has an effect upon the size and khcl of sparlc which jumps between t.hem. While this is not a very im- 1.ortant matter, it is preferable to use the same kind of plug in each cylinder. if possible. A sparlc plug must never be screwed into a motor too tightly, as it may be extremely hard to re- 1::ove. especially if put in when the motor is hot.

Considerable attention should I)c given to the wiring of a motor car. a s poor connections decrease the ef- 11ciency of the current and the ig- nition system generally. A11 termi- nals should be soldered to the wires, and terminal nuts kept screwed down tightly. An i n t e r m i t t e ~ ~ t missing is f~equently caused by a partially broken wire or by shorting of the cur- rent where the insulation has been worn off. I € the insulation becomes worn off the wires, they should be thoroughly examined to see that the wire itself is not broken, and then either replaced by new wire or taped. It often happens that a wire breaks inside the insulation and only makes contact part of the time. To locate this trouble, try another wire until the break is located.

The timer on most motor cars is very simple and to avoid having trou- ble with it, keep it clean and lubri- cated properly a t all times.

I f operators of motor cars apply the above mentioned suggestions they ail1 overcome many a delay.

RULES FOR A SAFE SUMMER Don't B e a "lay Picnicker" if

Y o u W a n t t o Keep Well -

N OW that the season for swimmlng and picnicking is in full sway, and many of us a re spending our

week-ends and any available hour off in the woods or down by the swim- ming hole, i t may be well for the "jay picnickers" to stop and consider. Such pickniclters a re often careless, not only of their ow11 persons, but of forest and woods, more often, how- ever, through thoughtlessness than maliciousness.

A day spent by the shore or on a picnic is very beneficial to one's health i f the after-effects are good. Often, however, the end of such a day brings with it a serious sunburn, or with a badly upset stomach, or a summer cold.

A bad sunburn may result in any of the following:

Sunstroke, painful discomfor1 necessitating treatment in bed, stom- ach disorders, intestinal disorders, headache, fever, freckles or perma- nent tanning of skin.

"Prevention," a s regards sunburn, is worth far more than a "gound of cure," and this prevention is very readily accomplished by:

( a ) Thoroughly greasing the skin with cold cream before going to the beach.

(bl Wearing appropriate clothing. (c) Keeping in the shade. Other unpleasant after-effects of a

picnic come from drinking the wrong kind of water. or eatiug the wrong sort of food. The "jay picnicker" sel- (iom stops to consider if the water he is drinking is fit to drink. He tlrinlts water about old camp sites, never thinking it may be polluted. Abandoned wells are often his water- ing places. One should be especially careful of drinking water on a picnic, and if in doubt shonld boil it.

If we all observe "a safe summer" we will be much better fitted for our jobs for the rest of the year.

A won- derful new, xientifie invention. known as Fairyfoot Cushions. has brought astounding. sensa- tional results. The amazing reports seem almost incredible, but n very special offer en- ables you to prove without a penny's risk that this great in- vention will do the same for you.

What Ails Your Feet Twenty-six bones form the arch

of the foot. Even one of these bones petting out of place puts abnormal strain and preenure on the muscles and nerves- then the pams appear.

I t is displacement of these bones by the weight of the body. too much standing or ill-fitting shoes that causes "flat foot." The weight of the body is thrown out of balancc and the foot ia often crowded down into the shoe causing bunions, corns. callu~es. mgrowlnc toenails. hammer toe, or Morton's toe, and the shoes become mir-hanen and run over nt the heel.

Then you have agonizinr pains in the feet and often lea nuins.

L trouble startc. You can't alwilys see that ycur foot is flat-il: may look all right-but the merciless pains tell you that something has gone wrong.

How Fairyfoot Cushions "Position" the Feet

These wonilerful Cushions (highly recom- mended by orthopedists and physicians)

belon~s. Fairyfoot Cushions are very

flexible. and while no:;itionin~ the foot normally, gently mail sage and esercise the muscles which have become soft and flabby and ~ i v e thcm strength to support the readjusted arch.

Stiff metal devices can't give this kind of preyurc and strencthcning eserclse. They act mcrely as supports and actually nllow thc muscles to becom~ weakcr. They usually h w e to be fitled and adjusted by espcrtn. They a r e heavy and clumsy. Pads and bandages are mere makeshifts.

You don't have to a d j u s t Fai ryfoot Cushions, and they weigh less than an ounce. Fairy- foot Cuahions are made in 60 different sizes to fit the daintiest slipper or heavy shoe-no costly made-to-order apuliances to pay for. Last a year or longer.

Any pain in your fcct, legs or back means most lihely that somcthinc is wvong wrth your feet-somethins that needs attention right away. Don't assume that these pains will "cure themsclves." Even a few slight twinces may point to a condition that will mcan serious trouble later on. Fairyfoot Cushions \\rill correct the cause of the trouble and then tho pain must go.

Proved by Thousands Letters like these, from former foot suffer-

ers. show what Fairyfoot Cushions will do: "I had to hobble on a cane. With Fairyfoot

Cushions I walk perfectly.'' "Had a bad

Kar l Walters and Claude Loclcwood, yard clcrks, and their wives, spent several days camping a t beautiful Hahatonlta, which has been called the wonder spot of 3Iissouri.

A crew of workmen began driving piling this morning a t the IVashington Avenue Subway. All of the yardmas- te rs a r e in a very bad humor, and seem quite likely to remain so until the job is finished.

The buildinr of the new station is progressinp Licely, and everyone is looking forward to the time when it will be completed. W e feel t ha t a l l concerned will have something to be proud of, not only the management but the city and the traveling public.

Coy Barnet t who recently became a papa evidently does the Charleston to amuse Dorothy Xay, a s lately, in the washroom, his dancing has become most aroflcient.

The -boss on nights a r e greatly wor- ried, a s the "mule" in the washroom ran away and so f a r there is no trace of It

Am afraid the gang's ball club is fading away. They a r e too interested in the doings of the St. Louis Cardi- nals. Some- of them a re want ing to b u s the World's Series t ickets now.

"There Is Nothing More Important Y 9-DANIEL WILLARD Than Accuracy President,"B & o*? R. R.

w H E N the President of a great American Railroad makes a statement like the

above i t is considered news for the world a t large. But to a railroad man it is no news- it is simply a plain statement of facts. Railroad men everywhere know that nothing is as im- portant as accuracy. And for that reason morc and morc r a i l r o a d s a r e t u r n i n g t o t h e Hamilton Watch and making i t their personal tirncpicce.

Many men who work with an eye constantly on their watches know th;lt the Hamilton is both accurate and de cndable. Veterans like P Engineer Satterfield o the I3 & 0-and veteran concluctors, too-have proved the Hamilton by years of service. Young mcn, just entering the railroad field, a r e c h o o s i n g H a m i l t o n s in order to be cquipped with watches that will

leave them in no doubt about accurate time. And the men who have carried Hamiltons thirty years, or men who have carried them as many months, are equally strong in their endorsement of " The Railroad Timekeeper of America. " Ask your jeweler to show you the New Rail- road Model Cases in which are fitted the Famous Hamilton 992 movement. Hcre is a watch that is the last word in sturdiness, rugged beauty, and accurate, dependable timekee ing service. It can be had in IOK yellow f h d gold or I ~ K green;yellow or white filled gold. Your choice of d i f f k n t railroad type dials. As you examine these Hamiltons remember they are the watches that have helped make railroad history - watches that truly represent thc highest development in economical time service.
