WATERMELONS TO MARKET When the temperature begins to

climb to about 100 in the shade and one has the urge t o seek out a nice cool shady spot, nothing seems to quench o n e b thirst-and then our thoughts revert to those boyhood days on a hot summer's day, the "old swimming hole", and the nearby melon patch. Never was anything so deliciously sweet and cool a s that

They went through St. Louis on June 22 and traveled via the B. & 0. Railroad to Troy and Dayton, Ohfo, where they inspected the plant of the Hobart Company, passing through St. Louis again on the morning of June 25 for their various honies in the mid-west territory.

Mr. Hicks is shown directly under the "K" in the Arkansas banner on the rear end of the t rain in the ac- companying picture.

This is the second year this group has been handled to the Hicks' estate from points in the mid-west territory via the Frisco, and the movement is credited to the solicitation efforts of Harrison Will, division passenger agent a t St. Louls.

luscious melon, broken open under the shade of a n old oak tree in a secluded spot, bright green rhine, red heart dripping with sweetness and black seeds which we spat out contentedly. Oh, what would we give today for just one bite of that melon!

Well, no sooner said than done. Over thirteen hundred cars of these luscious melons a re now ready to move from our very back door in Southeast Missouri along the Frisco Railroad. The first car move! out last week. from Bucoda, Mo., the forerunner of a very fine crop or real Tom Watson and Cuban Queen melons. One can have one's choice of Tom Watson- the long solid green type; o r one of those large round striped melons now so popular on the market. Get ready for their coming. 1,300 strong!

G. F. W. C. DELEGATES SEND THANKS

Letters are still comfng into the office of Rose Resnick, In charge of the Women's Travel Bureau of Frisco Lines, in appreciation of the handling given the special delegation which traveled Frisco from points In Ok- lahoma to St. Louis via F'risco and from St. Louia t o Detroit, Mich., for the Triennial Convention of the Gen- eral Federation of Women's Clubs, held in that clty on June 4-12.

The latest comes tram Mrs. Maye S. Myers of CleveIand Ohio, who said:

"I went into the Frisco pnasengor office in Tqilsa after retuming home from Detroit, and expressed my plem- ?we to one of the aged8 there, i n be- iny one of the pcresengers o l r that lovelu train, and the great, rnusval comfort I experienced on the trip because of the service rendered by the company i n making the travel what i t was in the air cond tionecl car No. 51 , (Pullnta?t) and that wonderful dining car service thnt eqnaZled or vather surpassed wnvtl~ing I have ever experle?~ced in trai?~ tmve2.

/"The trip was perfect i?l every wav, both going and ret~trniuy, and makes ste want amother trip over the Frisco Railway.'>

Another splendid letter was received from Alma E. Van Divort, president, 0. S. F. W. C., a t Nowata, Okla., which reads in part:

'<I like to think about Detro:t and all the ansodations and work leading up to our convention, and 0u.r good luck in bvinging home the laurels, and b~ no a m m s do I feel that we did it alone-you were with us tlwough 4t all and I think you did a piece of grand work Pee ing as on our toes- o i vhn w.s the jLn.5 how to reach our w e o p t e .

' (You have a wosderful personality and deserve a lot of credit for handling ow?. delegation in m c h a woade?ful manner. . . . You ~ e n t the Oklahoma deleyatio?~ home loving each other nlore than we did tohen we left for Det~oit.'>

Mrs. C. Guy Cutlip, who served so efficiently a s Chairman of the Trans- portation Committee with Mrs. Ro- berta Lawson and Mrs. W. M. Van Divort, addressed Miss Resnick a s follows:

" T h h ia the first time on a National Convention tidp that we havs had the pleasure of kmving two hostesses, like uou and M ss Mod~e, tltrozrghout the journey. W e are veru szrre thot all the women oqb the Zoberta Lazason Special from Oklahoma Czty to Detroit hnve enjoyed a& appreciated yowr t l t o u ~ l ~ t f d consideration for o w phl~s- rcal comfort and general welfare tlrroaghozc t the trip.

"We are agreed om fwll and happy appveciatlon of women hostesses, cs- peciallg when theu are as tactful nnd talented a9 Miss Moore and yourself, cmd as intevested m our con7fo~t and entertainn~ent." Mrs. Cutlip deserves a great deal of

thanks for her work a s Transporta- tion Chairman, in which position she was most ably assisted by her corn- mittee.

-- The "lost suitcase" was found,

which will be great news to delegates from Oklahoma.

evening about 7:30, instead of the usual clatter of phone, telegraph key and typewriter, yon would find the of- flce transformed into a comfortable study hall with seats for approxi- mately thirty-five persons.

Between 7:30 and 8:00 p. m. the students begin to arrive, and all seats a r e taken. Each student has several books under his arm, just a s do the student8 of any institution in the pur- suit of their four Rs. At eight o'clock sharp Mr. Buchanan, CF&PA, calls the meeting to order and several

new members a r e iutroduced and the old members invited to make them-

THEY CHOOSE THE RAILROAD

Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Miller of Kan- sas City, Mo., went Into t h e Frisco ticket office a t Kansas City on June 6 and purchased two round trip tlckets to Washington, going via Memphis, Atlanta, Florence, N. C., Richmond, Va., returning through Chicago with stopovers a t all places mentioned.

Mr. Miller advised that they planned to take this same trip just a year ago, buying a new car and had started on the trip, but about 50 miles out they had a puncture, ca r turned over, badly damaging the car and seriously in- juring both Mr. and Mrs. Miller. They had to call off the trip, but planned to make it by rail the following year, instead of by car.

Mr. Miller also said that the W S L

of the damage to the car and the doctor bills amounted t o considerably more than they believe the trip will cost them this year by rail.

Moral: Plan to use the railroad on your vacation trip!

In the- first place the Frisco is in Group A, with more than 30 million man hours t o each of the rallroads listed in that group.

In t h e second place the Frisco is the only railroad in Group "A" without a single fatal accident to a n employe, period, first four months of 1935.

Presently a woman hobo got off the train, an- parently with t h e party. Mr. Eidson gave them a drink and proceeded to tell them he would prefer t o ride a passenger train instead of a freight. After stressing the danger of travel, such a s the four had chosen, and also stressing the comfort and speed of passenger service, Mr. Eid- son sold the four coach tickets to Oklahoma City.

Ned Hayes, colored employe a t Memphis, Tenn., solicited and secured the shipment of t h r r e cars of automobiles. Not only was the shipment of importance in the ' matter of revenue, but of greater importance was the friendly feeling which he created between shipper and patron. In ad- dressing H. H. Smith, agent a t Mem- phis, this automobile concern said: " . . . this goes to show that you can never tell who can get the business. and it seem to us a very fine idea that every man working for your railroad do the same thins lhat thls colored man did." It might be added that Ned Hayes went In to pay a note on a new car purchased from that Arm.

on an eastern railroad, there is a trestle that extends into a sn1.1l1 river. this trestle is used for side racking, and to insure the braltemau p l a r i r ~ ~ the cars on that trestle without, a s they say in railroad parlance, "kicking them in", there was no bumping post on the end of it. The standing order was that the engine was not to be cut off until all the wheels were still and the brakes set.

One day the freight pulled down to the siding with 18 cars to set on the trestle. The trestle was empty, The conductor pulled out his watch and saw he had but five minutes. Rushing to the engineer, the conductor told him of the situation and the engineer decided to take a chance and "kick them in". One after the other, the cars rolled clown the t r e s t l e a n d into the river. The conductor viewed the situation with alarm, rushed into the telegraph oflice and wired the division superintendnt a s fol!ows:

"Have placed 18 cars on Dimmock Hollow trestle. There is room for 18 more. Please accept my resignation a t once."

JUST T R Y IT! A darky named Sam borrowed $25

f rom his friend, Tom, and gave his note for the amount.

Tlme went on, the note became long past due, and T o m was very im- patient for i ts payment.

One day the two men met on the street. Tom stopped and said w i t h determlnation: "Look heah, man, when ah you-all gwine pay dat note?''

"Ah ain't got no money now," replied Sam, "but I'm gwine pay soon's Ah kin." -

"Yo' been sayin' dat fer months," retorted Tom. "But it don't g i t me no money. Yer gwine pay dat money here and now, that's what yer gwine do. Effen yo' don't, yo' know whut Ah'm gwine do, Ah'm gwine burn yer old note, then whar'l l yo' Be at?"

cars and helpect patrons make connections a t a nearby town, when flood conditions prevented normal service. There a re instances where elderly persons, traveling alone, have been accorded unusual courtesies, which has won them aver to rail servlce.

The Neodesha Employes' Club a t Neodesba. Kans.. found a Iarge family bumming their way to Springfleld, Mo., in a box car, having left their home following the severe dust storms. Members of the club took up a coIlection, fed and housed the family for the night and sent them by rail to Springfield, Mo., their destination. When future travel is sug- gested by any member of this family. there is no question but that it will be by rail.

The president of the Newburg. Mo., Club advises that there is not a com- mercial truck operating in Newburg. The employes hold regular meetings and there is a great deal of enthusiasm in the solicltation program.

The various clubs throughout the territory have done much to advertise the air-conditioned equipment through huge parties, dances and gatherings of all kinds. And one of the most important features yet undertaken by the cl~tbs is that in most of the cities and towns along the line, they invite the merchants t o sit with them in their meetings and listen to the dis- cussion of the rail problem. Con- structive criticism and compllnlentary comments a r e exchanged t o the advan- tage of both railroad and shipper.

Each day and each month finds new contacts made, friends won over to the railroad and the old ties of friend- $hip made stronger

This year's totals should show a decided increase over the previous year, and there is more enthusiasm, more interest displayed each day. Members of the clubs on Frisco Lines have entered into this campaign of their own free wlll and ac- cord. They devote hours t o the sale of a ticket, for there is the feeling now and always has been, that the company and its employes have the same interests a t heart.

Hard Riding Not the Only Result of Hand Adjusted Wedges

Means that provide automatic adjustment of driving box wedges, mile by mile a s the engine works, is es- sential if hard riding and pounding boxes a r e t o be avoided.

Hand adjustment of driving box wedges cannot compensate for temperature change while the locomotive Is in operation. If the wedges a r e correctly adjusted while the boxes a r e cold they a re likely t o stick a t road temperatures due to box expansion. If adjusted to permit of box expansion a t road speeds there is lost motion a t the s tar t which causes excessive ~verhea t ing and soon develops into a pound.

hnpropet wedge adjustment causes a hard riding engine. From a n operating and maintenanm problem, however, pounding boxes a re much more serious. Pounding boxes cause abnor- mal wear of driving wheel tire to which may be charged breaking of frames and of driving axles, and bent and broken rails.

A pounding box will cause not only a "flat wheel", but crystallization of the axle of that particular wheel as weII, and, assuming that there is a liberal margin of strength In the axle, to carry i t s load a weakened

crystallized axle may fail to support its load because of the added stress produced by the "flat" wheel on which i t must ride.

This additional stress is also im- parted to the rail and frequently a cause of bent and broken rails that a r e often serious in results and not always properly accounted for. When a driving box sticks, the condition is, of course aggravated, so many cases of broken frames may be charged to it, and practically all of these may be traced to the present day use of the old-fashioned driving box wedges.

The day of the rigid driving box wedge is past. The conditions today call for a means to take i ts place that will be automatic and flexible enough to vary i ts adjustment so as to be able to meet changes of driving box temperature. This is necessary to' protect against pounding, as well a s heating and sticking of boxes so common where the rigid hand adjusted wedge is used. Further automatic adjustment maintains its adjustment for long periods so a s to fit better into the modern pool system of dispatching engines.

Such means a r e now availabIe. The

Franklin Railway Supply Company has developed the Automatic Com- pensator and Snubber for Locomotive Driving Boxes. This device is a product of much study and experi- mental work of mechanical engineers specializing in the work, and meets every requirement t o improve drlving and reduce the wear and tear of the engine and track to a minlmum. It lends to safety in a measure whIch alone is worthy of consideration in these progressive times when the locomotive needs to be a t Its best to hold its place against competition a s never before, and hard riding is the least of the faults where the old- fashioned rigid driving box wedge is still in use.

The Franklin Automatic Compen- sa tor and Snubber maintains perfect driving box adjustment by automatically eliminating the air gap between the driving box and pedestals, automatically compensating for wear between the driving h x , face and ped- estal or jaw members, and automatlc- ally permitting expansion and con- traction of the box.

It saves rnalntenance and increases the life of the entire locomotfve.
