Mo., celebrated their fiftieth wed-
ding anniversary. And along with
the flfty years of wedded life,
thirty-nine years and one month
of the time Mr. Hart served as a
Frisco engineer, with Mrs. Hart faith-
fully sharing the hardships of early
railroading life, and enjoying the com-
forts which were added later to their
lot in life.
They were elaborately entertained
at Eagles' Hall, on the nlght of Feb-
ruary 12, by the Springfield Chapter
of the Grand International Association
of Engineers.
Mr. Hart began his railroad service
in August, 1881. in the Frisco car de-
partment, at Springfleld. He then
went with the bridge gang, butiding
false work before the track was laid
from Winslow to Van Buren, Ark. Re-
turning to Springfleld he went on the
road as a brakeman, running between
Springfleld and Newburg, Mo. From
this position he transferred to that
of fireman, and was promoted to the
position of freight engineer June 7,
1887. Hls promotion to passenger en-
gineer came in 1897. He was retlred
in 1922.
Both MP. and Mrs. Hart were born
in Cole County. Ill., and were married
at Mattoon, Ill., in 1878.
"I can remember well that wedding
ceremony." Mrs. Hart said. "You
know, In 1878, there were not many
paved roads. I recall that Mr. Hart
brought two horses, and after the
wedding ceremony had been perform-
ed in the old home in which I was
born I put on my riding habit and
we mounted our horses to proceed to
the home of Mr. Hart's uncle. The
distance was too great to make that
night, so we stopped half way at the
home of one of my girl friends, where
we had our wedding reception."
Mr. Hart recalls vfvfdly railroading
forty years ago and compared it with
railroading today.
"I notlced in a recent interview with
Mr. Kurn where he mentioned that
seventy miles of track, between Afton
and Tulsa. Okla.. would be replaced
soon with 110-pound rail. When I
used to run an engine over that fame
stretch of track, we had 66pounll rail
under om engine wheels. There was
not even so much as a small village
where the thriving city of Tulsa now
stands. There was, however, across
[rom the little depot, a half-way hotel
run by an Indian. We got our water

short of miraculous. Tulsa with
its sky-scrapers seems incredible.
for I have recollections of a roiling
plain with numerous prairie
chickens and rabbits running
about, where the city now stands."
Mr. Hart recalls pioneer days In
Springfield, when North Springfleld
and South Springfield, were distinct
towns and blackberry patches were
numerous between. "I was sitting in
front of the old Jackson House on
Comrnerclal Street, North springfield,
one day-and you know the old Frisco
depot was down that street, just at
the end of Benton Avenue, and one of
the women guests of the hotel came
Out and asked me if I'd mind going
across the way and cutting her a snuff
stick. The weeds and brush wae as
high as my head, so the request was
easily filled."
Mr. Hart could not stress enough
two marvels of railroading, the air
brake and the automatic train control.
He drove engines before either of

boy. Fred Laker. Sr., and two of thz
sons are deceased. Recently Mrs.
Laker, in her comfortable little home,
told a reporter for The FrSsco Em-'
p1oyc.s' Magasin& of her family of rail-
road men. She will be eighty years
old in June. She was born in Bur-
lington, Ky.
"My father was a shoemaker of the
old school. He served an apprentice-
ship of five years before he started
his trade. He used to make what we
termed 'opera slippers', and I recall
that he used to measure my feet and
make shoes to fit. We used to go to
town to try on a shoe, like we go to
a dressmaker now. Since he died, I
have never been able to find shoes to
fit.
"Alter Mr. Laker and I were rnar-
ried and had come to SprIngfleld in
1873, he got a job firing a iocomot~ve
on the old Atlantic & Pacific, the first
unit of the Frisco Lines. In those
days they burned cord wood instead
of coal. He flred for six yeara be-
tween Sprfngfield and Newburg, Mo..
and then was promoted to engineer.
"I suppose it was because Mr.
Laker. waM in the service tbat at1 our
boys wanted to become railroad men.
Every one of them began service with
the Frisco as soon as he could, and
all of them started as call boys at the
old North Springfield roundhouse."
Mrs. Laker is the oldest woman rep
istered with the Frisco Veteran Em-
ployes' Association at Springfield, but
she is old, only in years. Her six
sturdy sons and her two daughters
have kept her mind active. She reads
and sews and keeps house for her one
son. She has five grandchildren, the
children d Bruce and Fred Laker.
"I was riding with my daughter the
other day, and we had to stop while
a long Frlsco freight train went by.
I said to her, 'Honey, this train would
have made four of the trains your
father used to have. Sixty cars was
a long train in those days."'
George Laker. her youngest son.
who lives with his mother, is a World
War veteran and was gassed in
France. In referring to the World
War, Mrs. Laker said: "Right after
the Civil War I remember that the
young men were so unsettled. Most
of them were too old to learn trades.
Railroading paid much better than
anything else then, and many boys
went in the service. It eeemed that

ber the many nights I spent hoping
that George would come home to me
safe and sound. .
"Yes, I have many Crlends, but I
have devoted my life to my little fam-
ily. Mr. Laker died and left me with
flve children to taRa care of, but I
have always been glad that my sons
were railroad men. I think that rail-
roading brings out the best there is
in a man. He must be sober. alert,
industrious, punctual and vigilant.
The greatest of these requirements
is punctuality. I have noticed that
railroad men are more systematlc
than those in other services."
Fred W. Laker, Jr., entered the
service as a call boy and fireman in
June, 1891. On September 1, 1898,
he transferred to the position of a

the company nineteen years. about sir

Bruce Laker is the third son. Mrs.
Laker says that when Bruce served
as a call boy, he used to call the
crews with the aid of hla pony. He
served as a brakeman from August.
1899, to July, 1911. He is the only
son who ever left Frlsco service to
go with another railroad, and he is
at this tlme an engine foreman with
a western road.

Robert E. Laker entered the service

1904, began his service as a switch-
man. He left the service March 10,
1905, and re-entered the service as

Additions to Springfield Shop Sf ructures Now in Operation
WO recently-completed addi-
tions to the shop structures at
Springfield, Mo., are now in op-
eration. One, an addition to the
north roundhouse, costing approxi.
mately $100,000, was opened last De-
cember 31. The other, an addition
to the west coach shop-to house a
truck shop and costing approximately
$75,000-was opened March 1, this
year.
The extension to the north round-
house is 120 feet wide by 150 feet
long and contains seven stalls, lour
of them e~uipped with drop pits to
handle locomotive driving wheels and
rail system extends from the new ee
tension to the machine shop, 400 feet.
The man in the photograph, Mr. A. C.
Potter, a machinist at the north
roundhouse is shown holding the
pendant controls which operate the
monorail hoist. Two sets of pendants,
one for hoisting and lowering the ma-
terial, the other for forward and re-
verse movements, constitute the only
controls. One man does the work
formc$y done by four.

erated by storage batteries, expedites

more space for the repairing of
trucks. This extension was built
especially to handle truck work, such
as rebuilding and repairing of trucks
for both steel and wooden cars, and
is under the direct jurisdictlon of Mr.
J. T. Flte, ~eneral car foreman.
The photograph of the truck shop
shows that at the time the gIcture
was made it was just receiving the
final touches before equipment was
mowed in. Its construction wag begun
early in the summer of 1927 and
completed March 1, 1928. It is 60

a capacity for repairing twenty trucks

now handles all heavy running repairs
formerly handled at the south side
and eliminates the south side round-
house entirely. Engines requiring
only a few hours' work are run in on
the old roundhouse tracks. If en-
gines require more than a few hours'
work they are moved into the new
building, where they do not interfere
with rush repair8 belng made in the
old roundhouse proper. The shop ia

W. F. Brandt, general foreman.

nection with this extension, is of ten-
ton capacity. and is used for carry-
ing driving wheels, rods, boxes and
other heavy materials between the
pits in the extension, and the ma-
chine shop, thus eliminating handling
of this material by hand. The mono-
It is estimated that the floor crane
and the monorail system together cost
approximately $20,000.
This new extension also has a de-
vice used for "snubbing" engines into
the shop with a cable, and an elec-
trically-operated device for pulling en-
gines up on wedges so that the
springs can be removed, eliminating
the use of a switch engine for this
purpose.
"This new building eliminates the
necessity of moving to the west shop
engines requiring light classifled re-
pairs, whlch keaves the facilities at
the latter shop free for heavier classes
of work. We now give class 4 and 6
(light classifled) repairs to engines In
the north roundhouse," J. C. Brecken-
feld, shop supervisor, said.
The extension to the west coach
shop was made necessary to provide
at a time, or enough for ten cars.
Such work as applying new wheels
and oil boxes, new pedestals, and new
truck hangers is handled. All truck
work for the system is taken care
of in tMs shop, excepting running re-
pairs, which are handled all over the
railroad as before. The bullding is
served by a ten-ton electric traveling
crane, with a sixty-foot span, operated
from the floor.
Each of the truck tracks Is equlp

devised by Mr. Flte, which form sup
ports for the truck frame whlle me

These new stands will aid in the
safety program and in labor saving.
Many special machines such ae a
steam hammer and blacksmith forges
are in use in this shop.

PAYMASTER IN SERVICE
46 YEARS

Sixth and Olive, and now in the Fds-
co Building, Ninth and Olive, with one
year spent in the Railway Exchange
Building.
"During the money panic of 1907
currency was very scarce. Mr. Ham-
ilton, treasurer, issued so-called 'John
Smlth's' or 'bearer' drafts for small
amounts in order to pay wages, and
successfully weathered the storm!'
When Mr. Young was aaked what
hls hobby was he replied that he did
not know that he liked to do any one
thing better than another. 'When I
was twelve years old I used to ride
one of those high wheels. They were
quite the thing then. I've flshed in
the Gasconade river, and hunted. I've
played billiards and pool and bowled
a little. Perhaps I am more Interested
in my garden and my car now than
anything else. 1 live In Vinita Park,
Graduates of the Frisco Key Punch School Make
Speed Records in Freight Accounting Work
T
0 quote President Coolidge,
"Education does not end when
we close the school door". All
through life there is, in thls day and
age, an extra chance for the man or
woman who takes advantage of train-
ing. It is. Indeed, the age of the
trained worker.
For several years the freight ac-
counting department of the Frfsco
Lines, located in St. Louis. found dif*
flculty in securing competent opera-
tors on the key punch machines, a de-
vice for punching holes in cards for
the accounting of freight revenue and
the preparing of statistical data. The
need was met, however, when Mr. C.
B. Rex, assistant auditor, received per.
mission to start a key punch school,
one of the few on a railroad in the
country.
In February, 1926, the school was
%tarted. The students were chosen
from the ranks of the waybill fllers,
who already were familiar with the
handling of waybills and who desired
to increase their pay. The class met
two nights a week and men in charge
of the department usually served as
instructors with the assistance of vet.
eran key punch operators. The girls
who attended the school finished their
regular day's work at 5:00 p. m., se-
cured a bite of dinner, returned to
their office and received instruction
from 5:30 P. M. until 8:00 P. M.
"We saw in this school a chance
for the girt to advance herself, and
of courae her work was more efPicient
and she meant more to our road". Mr.
Rex said. "These students have all
made god.
"Our method of instruction is that
the girl should learn the 'touch sys-
tem' just as typists learn that system
in the operation of typewriters. This,
as is well known, increases the speed.
"We use in this accounting system
about sixteen varieties of cards, and
St. Louis, County, and I can have a
garden!'
His association with Mr. Hamilton,
who recently celebrated his fortieth
year of service, has welded a friend-
ship between the two, and at a recent
Frisco St. Louis Men'a Club meeting,
Mr. Hamllton introduced him to the
members as one of his most able as-
sistants, and as his senior in years of
service.
"I do not know any buslness other
than railroading and that with the
good old Frisco. To my notion, there
isn't any other road and I hope to fin-
ish my service wlth It. Every year
of the forty-six has endeared it to mo
some of them demand as many as
thlrty or forty punches in the proper
columns, In August, 1927, eleven op-
erators, (eight of them from the Fris-
co school), punched 542,101 cards, or
an average of 301 cards an hour per
operator. This record would have
been impossible had the nperators not
used the 'touch system'."
There are, of course, those employes
who make exceptional records, and
according to Mr. Rex the honor for
having punched the greatest number
of cards rightfully belongs to Mfss
Leona Eisel who holds an unchalleng-
ed record of havlng punched 500 cards
In an hour for nine consecutive hours.
She is one of the veteran operators
and instead of just attending the
school when it was first inaugurated,
she was one of the first instructors.
A total of 32 girls have gone through
the school since it was started. The
Rrst student operator was assigned to
a regular position in June, 1926, after
having started her course in February.
There are flve students nOw in the
school. Seven graduates have been
asslgned to positions with Frlsco Lines
In the oirice of the auditor of height
accounts, seven are now in the of-
fices of the various zone auditors,
eight have resigned and accepted ser-
vices with other companies and five
dropped the key punch work and en-
gaged in other branches of the ser-
vice.
This educational program under-
taken by the Frisco Lines is not only
unique but is a splendid innovation in
railroad work. Many times waybill
filers were unable to complete their
education, but the key punch school
gave those who were ambitious, a
chance to learn and earn, and to con-
tribute thelr part to the efficient op-
eration of tbe company which em-
vloys them.
and f have many more years yet to
look forward to, associating with Fris-
co folk and with the company," the
paymaster concluded.
Mr. Young's service is continuous,
and outside of a vacation which he
and Mrs. Young take each year, and
his kccaslonal trips on the line, he
may be found, greetlng his staU and
his ceworkers at his offlce in the
Frisca Building at St. Louis every
working day in the year.

It was a great contrast, that noisy

WASHING YOUR HAIR
IS REALLY AN ART
Now that bobbed hair is so com-
mon that every old-fashioned husband
dreads to open the door at night for
fear hts wife has at last succumbed
Lo the lure of attractiveness, hair
washing has become a much more im-
portant duty than ever.
Bobbed hair must be treated to a
wave, a marcel or something of the
kind occasionally. These treatments
are expensive, and tew can afford to
have them without flrst treating their
hair at home so that the wave or
marcel will remain.
Greasy or oily halr is difficult to
manage. A wash or a shampoo us-
ually leaves a fllmy curd of soap stfck-
ing to the individual stranda. Even
when constant rinsing apparently re-
moves this curd, enough will be
found by the hair dresser to make
her task a difficult one. A hundred
rinsea in clear water will not re-
move that objectionable fllm.
It Es not necessary to purchase any
cosmetlc or preparation for the hair
rinse. Nature has provided one that
cannot be beaten In the little lemon.
The mild acid removes the curd, and
after a flnal rinse in cold water and
a drying, the hair will be ready for
any expensive treatment.
Merely add the juice of two lemons
to a washbowl of water, rinse the
halr thoroughly in the solution, follow
this by.a rinse in cold water, and the
hair is absolutely clean.

Duplicate and Repair Parts
for Baldwin Locomotives
Railways operating Baldwin Locomotives invariably
maintain store-rooms well stocked with duplicate parts
to meet any emergency.
In all cases where special orders are received, our
practice is to manufacture such parts and forward them
with all possible speed to prevent losses through idle
motive power.

Hamiltons Time the Trains !
Thc Hamilton 974, 17 jewels adjusted, is
availahic in special case*. Movcmcnt ia
fitted and timcd in caac at the factory. A
splendid watcll for use in r:~ilroad service
wllerc time i nspectioi~ is not requircrf.
Ask your jcweler to ekow you tilij ncw
Hamilton Irhdel.
N
0 single element entcrs inx) tr:i~lsport;~tion so continuously
or with such vital imporrance as the
element of time. The reputation of a railroad depends
to a great estcnt upon its ability to keep trains oil time.
To a railroad man, time is a precious commodity, and
schedules arc sacred obligations. That is why so many
railrond men choose the Hamilton when selecting their
watches.
Probably during 192s you will coiisider purchasing a
new watch. Before you do, investigate the Hamilton.
It is a ~vatch designed primarily fo: railroad men. The
first I-Iamil ton was built to supply railrcad Inen
with an accurate, dependable wntch. That was thirtyfive
years ago. Tod~y Hnmilton is building up to the
same high standards anci with the same ideals in mind;
watches for railroad Inen that they c;m always depend
upon, be it in engine cab or coach-in signal tower or
at the dispatcher's desk.
We shall bc glad co scnd you a copy of che Harnilcon Time Book
and foldcrs showing the various Harn~lron Models.

To Frisco Men:
It has been my privilege and pleasure to
he in the service of the Frisco Railroad
Company forty-four years.
During this time 1 11me w01-n many clif-
ferent makrs of ovcrclothcs. For pears I
hare been wearing only Key Overalls be-
cause I find they fit me bcttcr, I\-car longer,
look hcttrr, and shrink less than ilny over-
clothes I can gct, and in ~lclition, hnvr
plenty of large pockets.
Tn my jnclgmcnt, Key Overalls arc the
best overalls on the market.
