Jn accepting the gift, Chalma: Huggins said: "I cannot tell yr: how greatly 1 appreciate this spl-

did surprise. Association n'.' - .

J. K. Gibson, his as- s is tant ; and C. J. Stephenson, assistant t . ~ t he general manager, of Springfield.

When the "Sunnyland" pulled into the Frisco's hanclsome new station a t Pensr~co!a a t 12:15 'Ionday afternoon, the club presidents got an immediate tas te of Pcnsacola's famed hospitality. Through arrangements made by Presi- dent ,C. C. Shaw, of the Frisco Eni- ployes' Clul) of Pensacola, rund TV. H. Crowe, general agent a t that point, the train was me t by automobiles owned by Pensacolians and the club presidents were escorted to the hotel San Carlos, scene of convention activities, in an impressive parade.

The re they signed the ros ter of nt- tendance, registered into the hotel. and inspected with some amazement the convention programs handed them by Mrs. TY. H. Crowe and Mrs. J ack Crenshaw, who had charge of the registration.

Business sessions each day were listed, of course, but in addition tho cluh presidents were surprised to sea tha t a dance a t Sanders Beach. R

Pensacola, a banquet, and airplane flights a t the Naval Air S t ~ t i o n Tor all who wishcd lo take them, comprised the eu te r t a inu~en t pa r t of the three clny session.

"Business before pleasure" was the order, however, and following lunch, the delegates assembled in the ball room of the San Carlos where the first b ~ ~ s i n e s s session of the conven- tlon was called to order promplly at 2:00 p. nl. by \V. L. Huggins, J r . , chai rman of the centra l committee on employes' clubs.

The s h a r ~ ) rap of Lhe gavel had haidly (lied away when President J. W. Seabough of the Men's Club of Springfield took the floor and presented Chairman Huggins with a beautifui Ball watch, chain and knife, a gift from the combined employed clubs of the system.

"In presenting you with th is token of friendship and esteem," Seabough said, "we hope a s the hours, days and years go by you will often be remind- ed of t h e gang who met with you in Pensacola in February of 1929. This

sncd from our aor' together. Please c e p t my hcarlkl' thanlcs for this beak tiful gift."

The cliairnlan theq

read a letter frnr President J. 31. Kor? who was unable to 3'

tend the meeting. The letter said 1

par t : "There has hr - -

Inn opportunity of thanlting you . 'rough you each and every mem- .. ' Frisco employes clubs over the

system, lor your interest and .: r. in the past, cherishing the rhat this spirit will be constant-

ly demonslrated throughout the years to come."

Great applanse greeted this message from the Frisco's president, and a motion was imniediately made, seconded and passed unanin~ously, instructing the chairman to telegraph President Kurn assuring him of the whole-hearted support and co-operation of the clubs of Frisco Lines in all matters pertaining to the betterment of the Frisco.

With these preliminaries over, the delegates wttled down to a serious discussion of ways and moans to in. crease traffic for Frisco Lines through employe solicitation.

The discussion was lead by Presi- dent Seabough of Springfield, who described in detail the manner in which the two Sl~ringfield clubs have organized into four traffic teams, each with a captain, and entered into a spiriled contest for tips on business. RIr. Seabough urged the adoption of a resolution by the presidents endors-

ing the plan as standard for all clubs on the railruad.

In the discussion which ensued President L. TV. Cavi~less of Fort Smith advocated the plan of his club, in which tips were handled in the same manner a s in Springfield, but the actual business secured from these tips was traced, and reported.

"We are not satisfied with tips alone," Caviness said. "Our club members want to know if their tips have resulted in business actually moving over our railroad. In order to give them this information we have aslted the traffic department to give us a report. It' we do not follow r ~ p in this manner we are in the same position a s a duck hunter who fires often at his game but does not bother to pick them up."

Following the cliscussion the chairman appointed a committee to draw up a resolution setting forth stancl- arc1 practices to be observed in employe solicitation, with President Sea-

bough a s chairman, and Presidents Schoenberg. Tulsa ; Lamont. St. Louis; Estes, Muskogee, and Calvert, Wichita, a s members.

The committee's recommendatior~a were: that a s tandard form be adopted and printed to be used by the en- t ire club family, "to take c a w of and provide ample evidence that our employes a r e laklng nn Interest in this most important campaign of traffic solicitation. All forms n re to be pre pared lu &chon, original sent t o traffic department, and carlmn copy to club prestdent for permanent record and sue11 acknowledgment as he may determine. Club presidents will handle Iocally the development of record of such t lps that have been realized Into actual traffic, such data to be sen t t o Central Chairman Huggins for the annuel report on club activities."

Thus all t ips on freight and passenger business will be followed through to a conclusion, and the record will clearly show the actual amount of I~usiness secured through tills from eml)loyes.

The first meeting adjourned promptly a t 5 o'clock, and the delegates took advantage 01 t h e three hours before their eveuing enter ta inment to get their first look a t Pensacola.

At S : 3 0 Alonday evening, the club bresidents together with nlemheis of the Frisco family in Pewsacola as- senlb1c.d a t Santlers Deach paviliou lo r the dance w h ~ c h had been arranged hy the Flisco Employes' Club of Pensacula in honor of t he risi tors. T h e program was broadcast over Radio Statiou WCOA, Pensacola 's municipally owned station.

A l~ rogran l had heen arranged prior t o lhe dancing, and the first order of the evening was a n address of we1 come by Hon. Harvey J . Bayliss, mayor of Pensacola. In his address Alayur Bayliss stressed the earnes t tiesire of Pensacola to show the vis- i lors the "time of your lives," and urged the cluh presidents lo ask for anything they wanted and did not see.

"We have long since abandoned the custom 01 turning o\ e r the key oL' t h r city to our visitors," hlayor Bayliss said. " T h e ~ e is IIO key to PensacoIa. This splendid gulf bort city is always open to our I r ~ m d s and our nllies- the Frisco Employes."

Chairman Huggins inade the response on hehalf of the c l u l ~ presi- cleuts, and thanked the Mayor and the people of Pensacola for their wplen- did reception of the Frisco visitors.

"Of all t he cities on Frisco Liues, the club l~ res iden t s preferred Pensa- cola for their 1929 meeting, because i t i s he re that the 79 year old dream of I'risco Lines to reach tide-water

"This is due, a s you know, to ar i I - ' crease in the number of autonioh ' and to the steady increase in the :I,

,\her listenlllg to your splendid I!. wions here this morning aud yes- P : y , 1 am more thoroughly convinc- d ".iq ever before, t ha t these clubs p : p ~ ~ e r f u l force for good on the k,:r, Railroad," Mr. Butler said, to rr;hr applause. "We know on Fris- e I:ws that me have a service a s pi] and in most instances a great p;' Mer than our competitors. To- s: mr freight trains run on sched- 11- almost like passenger trains. E.:: 3 man orders an LCL shipment e 1 ~ 3 r load, he can res t assured that r57 L few hours that shi 'pment will b +livered to him.

I h~lie~e that the splendid organ- s..; of these Frisco Employes' r-9 has had a great deal t o do with c:+uping that spirit on the Frisco h.-ud. And it has occurred to me s: times that we should have a trar organization, a so r t of direct- 1 ??ad, for these clubs. I have al- 1:: been interested in traffic club ni and I think one of the finest rr ever Ioimulated in this country t ,';+ Associated Traffic Clubs of ~ i r a a n organization of a l l the

clubs throughout the continent, r: 'we central head.

'"ny can we not have tha t sort of m~ization right here o n I"risco &:Why not link all of these clubs r 1 solidified, well functioning cen- arganization? I do not mean that F bdividual club should use i t s in- s uality or its name. W h a t I sug-

gest is the sett ing up of a head body through which all of the clubs might function for the good of the clubs a s a whole.

"I wish to leave that thought with you in conclusion, and I'd like to sug- gest that by forming such a n organization you will make the Frisco Rail- road a better railroad, make your clubs bet ter clubs and secure more business and make more friends, through just such an organization."

Mr. Butler's suggestion mas enthu- siastically discussed by the delegates, and a f t e r discussing the mat ter from all sides, motion was made that the organization be formed.

In the election which followed the "ayes" carried by a large majority, and the election of officers was next in line.

Chairman Huggins was elected by acclamation to serve a s President of the Associated Frisco Employes' Clubs. J . W. Seabough of Springfield was chosen vice-president in a close race with R. L. Schwnberg of Tulsa, and Miss Martha C. Moore of the publicity depar tment in St . Louis, w a s unanimously elected secretai y-treasurer.

The chai r then appointed a corn- mittee to draft by-laws governing the Associated Frisco Employes' Clubs. consisting of Estes , Oklahoma City, chai rman; Charles, Monett : Lainont. St. Louis: Caviness, F t . Smith, and IJcClaren, Henryetta.

The by-laws. read aud adopted by the delegates I>y unanimous vote arr3 a s follows:

(1 ) This organization shall be known a s the Association of Greater Frisco Employes' Clubs.

(2 ) I t s persolinel shall coiisist of a President, Vice-president, Secretary2Treasurer. t o be elected annually a t the convention of Club Presidents.

( 3 ) I t s object is to weld a clos- e r friendship one with another , keeping in mind a t all t imes a desire to ass is t the St. Louis and S a n Francisco Railway Coinpan>r in any and all of i t s undertakings ~Vhere possible to do so without injury to ourselves o r our inter- es ts , it being understood this club does not now o r a t a n y time con- flict with o ther o~ganizat ions .

( 4 ) I tems brought to the attention of individual clubs o r t h e Pres ident of the Greater Club, for the benefit of the organization a s a whole, shall be submitted to the clubs a s a whole for thei r action, and vote must be taken witshin thirty days and decided by a two th i rds vote of the majority of the clubs.

(5) The constitution and by-

laws shall be voted upon by the individual clubs over the system, and adoption or changes can be determined only by a two thirds r o t e of the clubs.

( 6 ) This constitution and by- laws shall become effective af ter adoption by a two thirds vote of the Associated Clubs. The meeting adjourned a t 11:30 in

order tha t the delegates might have t ime for lunch prior to gather ing a t the foot of Palafox Street pier, to em- bark on the boat ride ar ranged for them tha t afternoon. The tug boat "Jenltins," loaned by Col. H . L. Butler, commanding officer of the Coast Guard Artillery unit a t Pensacola, left the docks promptly a t 1:00 p. m. with the club presidents aboard.

The trip a s planned, contemplated disembarking a t Fo r t Pickens for a n inspection of the coast guard defense guns, and a dress parade a t Fort Bar- rancas. But Jupi ter Pluvius decided to ar range the par ty himself, and sen t a drenching rain which kept up the ent i re afternoon, necessitating cancellation of the inspection and parade plans. The "Jenltins" re turned to the Pnlafox s t r ee t pier a t 5 o'cIock, and the presidents returned to thei r hotel to dress for the banquet which w a s scheduled for 7 p. m.

One hundred persons, including club presidents and their wives, out of town Frisco officials and officials in Pensacola, Pensacola shippers and business men, were guests of Frisco Lines a t the banquet.

An enter ta inment program arranged by Johnny Frenkle, Pensacola's favorite songster, included song numbers by himself, piano selections by Miss Sybil XIcNair, several southern melodies by the S t a r Quartette, negro songsters, and a reading by Miss Martha C. Moore. L. S . Baney, president of the Joplin club and composer of "Songs of the Frisco Clubs" led the banquet guests in three of the club songs.

Seated a t the speakers table were Mayor Bayliss, Col. H. L. Butler, commanding officer of t he Coast Artil- lery a t Pensacola; Commander W. G. Child, U. S. W . , in charge of the Pen- sacola Naval Air Sta t ion; Hon. E. R. Malone, president of the American National Bank of Pensacola and Mr. S. S. Butler, general traffic manager. Chairman Huggins presided a s toastmaster.

Mayor Bayliss repeated h i s welcome, and urged the Frisco visitors to re turn soon again for another visit i n Pensacola.

Col. Butler, in a shor t address, told the banqueters h e was more sorry than they tha t the afternoon's r a in had prevented a fulfillment of t he pro-

gram he had arranged a t Forts Pick- ens and Barrancas.

"Come back again, a s Mayor Bayliss has requested, and I'll promise to make up to you what today's down- pour prevented today," he said.

A series of short and highly humorous stories gleaned from his twenty three years' service in the United States Navy was C o m m n d e r Child's contribution to the evening's entertainment.

Mr. Xlalone, in a seriehuniorous address, stressed the importance of company loyalty such a s was manifest by the meeting together of men in the interests of themselves and their company, and praised highly the initiative of the club presidents in fostering and organizing this highly important work.

Mr. Butler's introduction by the toastmaster limited him to humorous remarks, and that "limitation" seemed to suIt the diners. The large va- riety of stories and anecdotes possess- ed by the Frisco's general traffic manager is legendary on the Frisco, and for forty-five minutes h e kept his hearers in gales of laughter over the caperings of "3Iose and Mandy," farn- ed southern negro c h a r d e r s who niay be mythical, but whom Nr. But- ler located around Murphysboro, Tenn., where he was born.

The banquet ended a t 10:30 and with only one more short business session the next morning, the presidents' visit to Pensacola would end.

A paper packed with illuminating statistics concerning the "Frisco Dol- lar-Where It Comes and How It Goes", was read to the delegates a t the business session the next morning by Mr. E. H. Bunnell, comptroller of Frisco Lines, St. Louis.

"You have been discussing various ways and means of increasing the number of dollars in the Frisco treasury," Mr. Bunnell began, "now, let's find out where that dollar goes after it is earned, a s well a s seeing from whence it comes." (Editor's note: Readers will find charts and explan- atory article of this address on page 7 of the March, 1929. Frisco Employes' Magazine 1.

"From our analysis of that average Frisco dollar," Nr. Bunnell continued, "we find that we receive 73.48 cents of it from transportation of freight, 12.79 cents from passengers, and the remainder from miscellaneous sources.

"In the disbursement of that dollar we And that 66.15 cents of it goes for railway operating expenses, of which amount 42.22 cents goes for labor. Taxes take 5.71 cents; materials and supplies 12.42 cents; and fuel 6.24 cents. Interest on bonds takes 17.43 cents, leaving for dividends and surplus 9.29 cents out of each dollar.

"Now, it is the prime duty and re- sponsibility of the accountihg department to account for the dollar, and since the company's business is operated on a budget basis it is necesary that a t the beginning of each year we prepare a forecast based on anticipat- ed number of carloads of freight, passenger earnings and so forth.

"Right a t this time we find that the problem before us is to get the business before June first. At that time the crops s tar t moving, and our problem will be lessened. But until June, please remember that every passenger and every LCL or carlot shipment will help. Our fixed expense for operation of trains will permit us to add on many carloads and passengers without increasing that expense. In this respect, you may greatly help US."

Chairman Huggins read telegrams from Mayor W. C. Dean of Olrlahoma City, and Mr. Ed. Overholser, president of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, inviting the club presidents to hold their third annual convention in that city.

On motion of D. L. Estes of Okla- homa City, the presidents voted to meet in Oklahoma City in 1930, con- tingent upon the approval of the company's officers.

The remainder of the morliing session was given over to a pointed discussion of club activities in cities where meetings were held irregular- ly. The chairman called on several club presidents to explain their troubles, and following each report, various other presidents offered suggestions tending to help iron out the dif- ficulties presented.

Motions were passed instructing the chairman to convey the thanks of the presidents to the Mayor and through him to Pensacola's citizens for the wonderful reception, to thank the manager of the San Carlos for the splendid service of the hotel, and to thank the Frisco Employes' Club of Pensacola and General Agent Crowe for their part in the entertainment of the presidents.

The final business session closed a t 11:30 o'clock in order that the presidents have time in which to take a short motor tour of Pensacola, and inspect the Frisco terminals and dock facilities prior to 2:00 p. n ~ , the hour a t which their train left for the North. The nearness of train depart- ure and unseasonable weather made necessary the cancellation of the airplane flights a t the Naval Air Station.

That "this is the finest meeting I ever attended", seemed to be the sen- timent of each club president, and the

At the February 18 meeting of the Frisco Employes' Club of Thayer. short talks were made by several of the members.

It is my desire to make friends and try to secure more traffic for the Company a t all times. Men, I wish to s tate that to secure this business we must have the good wiIl of all and when we make a purchase call the merchant's attention, 'Don't forget to ship Frisco Lines only.' "

L. B. Lindley, agent, and secretary of the club, said that the revenue a t his station was increasing daily, due to work of the club. He said, also: "I recall that a short time ago I heard a lady in a store talking to another lady about making a trip to Litchfield, Ill., via St. Louis. She was talking of going from Enid to St. Louis via bus line. I called on the lady that afternoon, advised her of the railroad connections, rate, etc., and secured the business, selling her through to Litchfield, Frisco to St. Louis, Wabash."

John Hossington, section laborer, said he thought the club's meetings were good things for the company and that he was doing all he could to help them along.

A matter has been brought to our attention that we believe you will help us correct. We learn that through carelessness, perhaps a large amount of freight tonnage coming into Amory is allowed to be shipped over other railroad6 than "our" Frisco and the transfer made a t such points as Tupelo for the "short-haul" here.

An official of the road who visited Amory yesterday stated that freight shipped over one line would unquestionably get better service than i f handled several times. While this is a good point lor consideration, let us first con- sider the main reason why we should designate all "Frisco" routing. The Frisco railroad had a big palmt in "making" Amory. The biggmt industry in Amory with a payroll of $50.000 is the Frisco. Our merchants a re dependent to a large extent upon the pay checks of Frisco me11 to pay for the freight and the merchandise.

Can we afford, a s a matter of principle, to forget this duty.

When you order specify "Fris- co" routing all the way, and you will be helping those who are helping you.

"WHO AM I??? ' f l y J . D. BROWN

I am more powerful than all armies and navies. The greatest quns of the world are my play- things. I ride battleships, railroad trains and ar~tomobiles. One- armed and one-legged men a t the crossings have met and know me to their sorrow. I sneak into railroad shops, railroad yards, manufacturing plants. I ride on railroad trains, both passenger and freight. I patronize great ships on the ocean and ships of the air. J like automobiles and big trucks. Widows and orphans know me. I rejoice over a fatherless child. I a m generally quiet and silent, but my hands drip with bloOc1. My side partners are Failure and Mis- ery. I gloat over conflagrations and wrecks of the highway, the sea, the railroad, the shop. The more terl'ible they are the more I laugh.

Once s man said to me-"The best safety device is a careful man." He told the truth, hut I got him the next day-he has one leg left. He forgot-men who a re careless are my friends. JIen and women with sightless eyes-I glory in their unhappiness for I did it. S o home, no shop. no hank, no office, no ship, no train, no automobile can bar m? out for the Devil is my friend, my buddy, my working mate. I dip my hands in scarlet pools where I have sucked the blood of many good men and women after they became acquainted with me I have no conscience; I am relentless: J delight in wreck- ing homes and mutilxting human beings, even little children. They weep-I laugh. Accidents a re my favorite and Hellish field. My har- vest in one day in a big city was seven little children. A half minute wait before crossing the street made the difference between reach- ing home and the hospital. I never give-I always take. I destroy, I crush, I maim, my working mate is Death. He helps me to make deso- late homes, widows and fatherless children; we glory over these things. One of our favo~l te spots is railroad crossings. Careful men avoid me. I am never idle, I cost you nothing save when you ignore me. My footsteps a re familiar with the road to t h e cemetery. You may be acquainted with me but a moment, but I will show you the Road.

Do you know me? My name is "CARELESSNESS."

LOCOMOTIVE FUEL PERFORMANCE RECORDS Ofice of Fuel Agent VI

F CTEL performance statistical reports for the month of February. 1929, reflect an increase in unit

consumption of fuel in freight, passenger and switch service for the system, compared with same month i n year 1928.

This showing is rather disappoint- ing for the second month of the year, however, weather conditions were more severe which directly affected the performance in each class of sew ice in that it necessitated cut in train haul and required more steam heat on passenger trains.

In freight service, fuel consumption per 1,000 gross ton miles was 200 pounds versus 190 pounds last year, which is an increase of 5.26 per cent. Train haul decreased to some extent, principally due to weather conditions and was the principle factor affecting performance.

I11 passenger service, despite a n increase in cars per train mile, fuel per passenger car mile increased from 16.7 to 17 pounds, or 1.80 per cent. Only two divisions in this class of service were able to make a decrease over performance for same month pise\rious year, namely, Southern division 7.78 per cent and the Central 1.03 per cent decrease.

Switch performance increased from 155 to 162 pounds per switch locomm tive mile or 4.51 per cent.

The system standard for each class of service month of March is a s follows: freight service 185 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles; passenger service 15.2 pounds per passenger car mile and switch service 145 pounds per switch locomotive mile. These standards a re based on the goal set for the year taking in a reduction over previous year of 5 pounds in freight service, .5 pound in passenger service and 7 pounds in switch service.

The year of 1929 promises to be a banner year in fuel economy and a comparatively poor showing made in the first two months should not re- tard our efforts to reach the goal set in each class of service.

While the system fuel performance for February was above last year, nevertheless there mere some very good fuel records established, one especially which was made on the Cm lumbus Sub-division of the Southern division and is a s follows:

Engineer i\I. E. KEULY, Fireman E. F. Rowe and Conductor PAT KEN-

DALL, handled a freight train on Feb- ruary 16 with engine 1627 from Amory to Demopolis, a distance of 122 miles, in 9 hours and 50 minutes. This train consisted of 56 loaded cars or 4,033 gross tons, 11 tons of coal were burned on the trip which is a n average of 4.5 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles.

This record is a splendid one and is an example of what can be accomp- lished through the co-operation of engine and train crews in saving fuel.

Additional fuel records a re a s follows:

Attract ioe Homemade Table Decorations

I T is usually a joint arrangement- this matter of a n entertainment program of the Frisco Employes'

Clubs, and the ladies usually arrange the program and, of course, when there is a dinner to serve, the wives and mothers of Frisco employes take great pains in providing the menu and in decorating the tables.

TO some folks, decorations are a large part of the dinner and it is true that proper decorations give the proper atmosphere.

The St. Louis Girls' Club has always found that decorations on the speakers' table and on the smaller tables have added to the color of the iuonth- ly meeting, and the Springfield Girls' Club have also gone in for elaborate decorations.

Flowers, especially in the smaller cities, a r e hlgh and rather hard to find in off-seasons, although they a re plen- tiful from the Frisco's own flower beds in sunlnlertime. But now that spring- time is so near, we a re likely to be impatient for flowers, and they a re desired for homes and for gatherings O f friends long before the sun brings them to the gardens.

Perhaps one of the most colorful and most beautiful of all the spring blooms is the stately tulip and these may be had in profusion if they are made from beautiful shades of crepe papel'.

A group of Frisco wives and mothers may meet for a n afternoon just before the next social gathering and make enough of these lovely blooms to tastily decorate any banquet hall o r room.

And here is how it is done! Two shades of crepe paper a r e used for the two-toned petals of the tulips. Some attractive combinations a r e violet and purple, light and dark am- ber, heliotrope and violet, purple and fuchsia, light and dark pink. o r flame and salmon. Moss green will also be required for the leaves and stems, and black crepe paper is necessary for the tulip center. Denison Craft Service Wire No. 9 is also needed for the stems-besides paste and scissors.

To make the pattern for the petal,

sinlply trace a n elongated oval on to tissue paper, and then recut in cardboard. For a leaf pattern, take a piece of paper ten inches long and one and three-quarters inches wide. Fold this through the center, and

from a point half-way down. grad- ually taper this to a point a t the top and to one-half inch a t the bottom, keeping the sides rounded. Open this cut to a full s h e , and recut in cardboard.

For each tulip cut two strips of crepe paper in the colors selected. four inches wide by twelve Inches long. Place one on top of the other and paste lightly along the edge. Then cut six double petals, using the pattern. Cup each petal with the lighter shade outside. To do this. place the thumbs on one side and forefinger near the edges on the other side and push out into cup shape.

For the center, cut two strips of crepe, black and green, three inches wide and two and one-half inches long. Fold and cut a fine fringe one inch deep. Roll this fringe for the center and fasten with fine wire.

Now to assemble the flower, place the petals around the center, the dark shade inside and tips one and one- fourth inch above the center, each petal overlapping. Then place the next three on the outside each be-

tween two petals already p k Fasten all together.

For the stem, cut across the 6 p

a one-half inch wide strip. And the leaves cut a 10-inch ride at: inches long. Fold and cut out fat?' , the leaves. Wrap the stem by bi' ing the narrow strip around the b of the flower and winding it ti$ stretching the paper fully. Md a ' inch piece of No. 9 mire and con+ wrapping the stem smoothly, slar.. it downward and twirling the r ' Insert the leaves, two on each rr - with the stein wrapping.

And, before long, a Rasketfu! beautiful tulips will be readr !

brighten up the room. This is v.' one of twenty-two different rari?!!. of crepe flowers which mag be n:ai and those interested may send I, cents to the Denison Craft S m 62 E. Randolph Street, Chlcago. r receive a complete instruction b for making of the various kinds.

moment it was a distressing e:. Everybody trying to comfort b y Boy's mother and father and I.%! to say or do. >a Big Bill the manager arrived

I?? scene. He took off his big hi brimmed hat an& came into the I: "Awfully soriy to hear about L'he mid. "I've got detectives on b:ub and we ought to be able to b:im in a podunk town like this. I ~ P already got out instructions a t tilroad stations-just one chance b mlght have had-a passenger b k f t an hour before the show was

over-but we've wired ahead to have the train searched. We'll find the little fellow-if he's to be found. You two buck up-it's hard you know, but-"

"Here," said Timmy's father. "Read this." And he handed him t,he letter.

Big Bill read i t slowly and then re- read it again. "I'll take this along and hand it to one of the detectives. I'll give it back to you before long. Now t ry and b w k up-we're going to find him." And he strode out of the tent.

Mary was seated on the couch with Timmy's mother, her arms around her shoulders. "Oh-why did I leave him for a minute. The precious little lamb. Who'd a thought there was such sneaks around a circus-I only left him a minute-and it's all my fault," and she buried her face on the shoulder of Timmy's mother.

"There Mary-it wasn't your fault any more than i t was mine. Nobody dreamed that we had an enemy in the world and I didn't think there was anybody so mean a s to rob us of Tim- my Boy. But what will we do-what will we do? What time is it-let's s tar t out and walk-let's walk all over town-oh let's do something," and she stood up while Mary unfast- ened the fluffy dress which she had w o n in the circus ring.

She hurried into her street clothes with Mary's assistance-tears blind- ing her eyes. Timmy Boy's father also stepped into his dressing room and changed to his street clothes.

Through the streets-up and down the alleys over the town they tramped urltil the sun had gone down.

Circus folks know, that despite death-despite ill fortune of any kind, the show must go on. Even this disap- pearance of Timmy must not make any difference in the evening's performance. The show could not do without the act of the famous Joe Swartz, the most daring trapeze per- former in the morld. Neither could it do without the ac t which Timmy's Boy's mother performed before the thousands which gathered there for the evening show. They were both

f e a t u r e s a n d so a s the sun went down the little party which had searched so frantically over the city wended its way toward the big circus tent.

Timmy's Boy's mother collapsed on the couch after her return, and the most tempting delicacies had no ap- peal for her.

They were aroused by Mary who came in with the little costume. "It's a shame-but Big Bill is expecting your act tonight. You'll have to go through with it somehow, though the Lord knows how you'll do it. Maybe -maybe out there you might get a clue-maybe they'd bring him to the circus to escape from the police that's got the town surrounded."

Although Mary knew that the l a s t place to find the baby was in the circus tent, i t gave to Timmy's mother a little courage and she rose and slowly slid into her costume.

With his a rm around her waist, Timmy's father led her into the big circus tent. Every eye in the house was focused on her-and her act went through without a blundler, altho to those who knew what she could do, i t was a listless performance. The eyes of every circus employe were focused on her-fearing that she might col- lapse.

Her final bow came and she was carried to the dressing room.

A little later in the evening the stakes were pulled up-the canvas folded and the big red wagons loaded on a train. The circus was going to leave town.

I t quitely slid out of the yards and on the back platform of one of the cars stood Timmy's mother and father-watching the little city fade from sight.

"Timmy Boy-oh Timmy Boy- where a re you," said his mother as she stretched her arms toward the little city.

"He'll soon be with us again honey," said Timmy Boy's father. "It's-it's heard to leave-but the show has got to go on, and-we've got to go with it."

I INVENTS VALVE MACHINE By EMERY HAGUEWOOD

Several years ago when it was necessary to rebore valve bushings and valve chambers on locomotives in the erecting shop a t Springfield north roundhouse, the only machine for this purpose was a heavy cylinder boring bar which was often shipped to other points and was seldom available when needed a t Springfield.

Foreman A. E. Bolles, acting under the impulse "Necessity Is the Mother of Invention", set out to get a machine especially for boring valve bushings and valve chambers.

In a short time this idea was a reality and a special valve boring bar had been constructed mostly by his own mechanics and a t little cost, which mas much lighter and easier to handle and has since been in successful use.

Recently Foreman Bolles conceived the idea of replacing valve bushings by power instead of man strength and by the addition of a small attachment to his valve boring bar gear it served the purpose of pulling in valve bushings a t a great saving of time and la bor.

The new valve bushing puller recently was tried out in the erecting shop in renewing valve bushings on

. engine 4 1 4 1 and proved a success. An air motor furnished the necessary porn-er to operate.

I t is really amazing how many people a r e heroes-to hear them tell it.

flnrold Jaques, zoelterweiglrt, Irrtozen~ as the "~i.lissouri Wildcat", is the eighteen year old son of M . Jaqucs, Frisco conductor on the Central division. H e has seven knochouts t o his credit and met his first defent on Febrtiary 11.

Men. , . Smoke a pipe of peace! 7 - ---

P IPE-SMOKERS, here's good news! These four hale and hearty railroad men have found a t

last the perfect smoke for their pipes. Edgeworth -the railroader's pal !

Resting in the bunkhouse a t Harmon, N. Y., Ed Foley, veteran engineer of the Twentieth Century Limited, and his firemen friends Fred Rogler, Ilre Hart ancl Harry Cappallo say there's nothing like a pipeful of Edgeworth after a long hard run. It's the one and only brand, they say, that brings them peace ancl comfort.

On sale everywhere, including Commissary Stores ancl camps, railroad depots and stations. Two forms: Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed, all ready for your pipe ; and Edgeworth Plug Slice, for those who like to "rub up" a pipe-load a t a time. Both come in various sizes,

f=r'?? from handy pocket packages to pound humidor tins.

, . +&c,*; ;;*Y& ::--

Free Offer to Railroad Men If you have never smoked Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed smoking tobacco, let us send you a f r e e trial helping so that you may put i t to the pipe-test. Send your name and address to Larus & Brother Company,27 S.2lst Street,Richmond,Va.

PHIL. F. ATKINSON. Reporter.

The s t a t e of Oklahoma and the city of Tulsa were very well represented a t the inaugura l ceremony a t Washing- ton. D. C., on March 4. The Frisco Lines operated a special train to Wash- ington via St. Louis, thence the Balti- more & Ohio railroad. the same being a n e s t r a section of the Meteor. leav- i ng Tulsa on March 1. This train consisted of five Pullman cars and was operated from St. Louis to Washington as a special train. In addition to thc large number of Tulsans on board, there were ninety-six Indians, representing sixteen of the tribes who are residents of the s ta te of Oklahoma. The Indian delegation made the trip especially in honor of Vice-president Curtis, because of the fact t ha t this is the first time in the history of the 1;nitecl States that such an honor has been bestowed on the Indian. The In- dians were deeply touched and showed their appr~ciation by be in^ present a t t he ceremonial. The year 1929 st i l l continues to look

encouraging so f a r aR passenger business is concerned a t Tulsa. This office and the depot combined showed a very nice lncrense during the month of February. which speaks very well for our ass is tant general agent, Mr. Payne. a s well a s the whole family of Frisco employes here. fo r it is through the combined efforts of al l tha t a par t of this buslness was secured for the Prisco Lines. We all have high hopes and a r e determined to do ou r very beat to make the year 1 9 2 9 better than the year just ended.

The Tulsa (Hockey) Oilers have won the chamnionship of the Ameri- can Hockey Association and we a re glad to say tha t we have had the

pleasure of handling several of their movements. The play-off to, determine the winner mill be staged between Tulsa, St. Paul and Minneapolis in the near future.

The Frisco Lines were awarded the movement of a special train to Fo r t Worth. Texas. for the delegates to the convention of Petroleum Geologists held in tha t ci ty March 21 to 23. Thls special train consisted of s ix flrst class Pullman ca r s and accommodated approximately one hundred delegates from the surroundinr: cities. This movement was a very competitive one. which i l lustrates very clearly the high esteem in which Frisco service is held in this territory.

Automobile Cars

T HE steadily increasing production of automobiles is making growing demands on the Railroad Companies for larger and more efficient cars

for transporting the highly finished motor cars of today direct from the loading platforms to the widely scattered dealers.

To meet this demand a great many roads have, in the past few years, added thousands of what is known as "Automobile Cars" to their list of rolling equipment. These cars come under the general classification of Box Cars, but are higher, wider and longer than the ordinary Box Car with six foot side door opening.

The Automobile Cars, in order to facilitate loading of long motor cars, are equipped with double side doors which give a clear door opening from ten to twelve feet. Even these wide side doors have been found inadequate to handle larger vehicles, such as Fire Trucks and Busses. To meet this some Automobile Cars are equipped with end doors which, when opened, give a clear opening equal to the full width of the car. These large end doors call for rigid designs of corner posts which carry the full weight of the steel door on hinges. They also call for elaborate locking devices to withstand shifting loads against the end doors.

Other features distinguishing the Automobile Car from the ordinary Box Car are various devices installed to facilitate loading. Some cars are equipped with a number of loading rings, or staples, fastened to the inside of the car near the roof to afford convenient anchors for ropes and tackle; others are even equipped with traveling bridge cranes, which can be placed a t any desired point throughout the full length of the car.

The following tabulation of Automobile Cars in service during the first quarter of the last nine years gives a good idea of the growing demand:
