WORKING as you do all hours of the 

day, taking out your watch countleeis 

times, you've got to have a chain that 

can stand up without whimpering. 

Dependable as the watch you carry, 

Simmons Chains are famous all 

along the line -with everybody 

from engineer to second trick opera- 

tor and back again. And if you're 

proud of your watch - what rail- 

road man ien't? - the chain ought 

to say 80. A Simmons Chain does. 

Built for railroad service 

In spite of the long and capable ee- 

vice you get from them, Simmons 

Chains still cost very little. The 

prices of the chains illustrated, for 

example, are: 12978, $9.75; 3371, 

$5.25; 261921/i, $10.25. 

Go to your watch inspector's while 

you are thinking about ii. Tell him 

you want to see a Simmons Chain. 

Swing one across your vest -one 

that you like especially well. You 

may be sure it will give you faithful 

service. R. F. Simmone Company,

entire Frisco sys- 

tem, and Monett, 

GEO. MORRIS Mo., has been sig- 

nally honored by winning flrst prize

man, furnished George Morris, a mem-

The garden idea has grown rap- 

idly since its inception in 1927, and 

has made greater progress since Mr. 

Fellows' appointment as Frisco flor- 

ist in 1928. In 1927, 400 Frisco em- 

ployes took advantage of the offer 

of seed, bulbs, shrubs and plants, 

and the first prizes for best gardens 

was inaugurated in 1929 when $15 was 

given for the best garden on the sys- 

tem and $10 as second prize. The 

winner in 1929 was the garden at St. 

Mary's, and second prize went to the 

garden at Thayer, Mo. 

The committee this year was com- 

posed of Mr. Walter Rathbone of 

Springfield, 310.. president of the 

board of regents, Southwest Missouri 

State Teachers College and vice- 

president of the Frank B. Smith 

Laundry Company (well known for 

his growing of exceptionally fine 

roses), Mrs. Don B. Fellows and W. 

L. Huggins, Jr., editor of the I;r.isco 

Jlogazine. 

It is reported by this conlmittee 

that the gardens were exceptionally 

fine considering the handicap of the 

great drouth and the way the men 

had maintained their section houses 

and station grounds was a matter of 

great comment. In fact, to quote one

winning gardens this summer in- 

cluded, Summer Cypress, Kochia,

the Mountain and Periwinkle. 

Florist Fellows has announced that 

next year the system will be divided 

into two groups; one group where 

water is available for the care of the 

gardens and another where it must 

be hauled to the garden. These two 

groups will compete separately. This 

will give every mall a chance to com- 

pete in his class. 

The committee required three 

weeks in which to make the inspec- 

tion of the flower beds on the entire 

system. Presentation of the prizes 

and trophy will take place the early 

part of October.

He says the success of the test was 

due to the systematic blowing out of 

the boiler so many minutes on each 

sub-division. (an accurate check was 

made which showed that the water 

from the boiler was blown out from 

freight locomotion. The 4200's are

from the Baldwin Locomotive Works 

by Frisco Lines. It made more mile- 

age during the endurance test than 

in the two months previous to the 

run. 

Forsythe has made all three tests 

with an engine numbered in the 4100- 

4200 series. The first test, made with 

engine 4100, ended by the engine hav- 

ing made 2,940 miles. This was in 

1927, In 1928 Forsythe took the 4113 

and between July 19 and August 13 

broke the former world's record, held 

by the Great Northern Railway of 

3,500 miles, by making a record of 

7,350 miles. This was not equalled 

or broken until he broke his own 

record on the last run with the 4213. 

"The run was made with three 

things in view," Forsythe said. 

"First, to definitely prove that a 

freight locomotive could be run for 

an entire calendar month without the 

flues getting stopped up to such an 

extent as to impair the steaming 

qualities of the engine; second, to see 

if a freight locomotive could be run 

without having the fires knocked and 

the boiler washed out from one gov- 

ernment inspection period to the next 

and third, to see if the engine would 

steam as well at the completion of 

the calendar month period as it did 

at the first of the trip." 

In speaking of the run, H. I;. Wor- 

man, superintendent or motive power 

said that the test meant the speeding 

up oP freight transportation and atso 

clearly showed the need for fewer en-

"I am greatly satisfied with the 

test," Forsythe said. "The 4200 loco-

them. Only the greatest freight laca- 

motive in the tvorld could make such

"And now that the test is over, I 

am going to rest up a few days and 

await the blue printing of the charts 

I kept on the locomotive performance 

which I intend to send to each divi- 

sion point as an example of what one 

of the 4200's can do and what can be 

done in freight service by conserv-

the blowing out of the boilers in a 

systematic way."

that other roads are made dustless

the exposition and looki~ig over a lot 

of machinery I do not know anything 

about? Surely the oil busiuess will 

keep on making beneficial discoveries 

and improving its tecl~uique whether 

I visit the oil show or not." 

If this very question had not been 

asked before the first exposition was 

held in 1923, and again in 1924, 1925, 

1927, 1925 and 1929, we might not be 

prepared to answer. But, it was speedily 

discovered that the exposition 

policy must be expanded to interwt not 

only the oil producer, but also the 

roustabout, the tool dresser, the contractor, 

the pipe liner, the tank farm 

employes, the refinery and natural 

gasoline plant men, the marketer, the 

filling station operator, the chemist, 

the physicist, the welder, and on and

will make gases glow in colors, and 

SO on. 

And right here one of the most 

important points may be brought out. 

Perhaps you ren~eiliber that the in- 

ventor of the best diving suit now 

available had never been near a body 

of water large enough to call for the 

services of a diver. If you say that 

you are not scientific or mathematic- 

ally inclined, you may recall that 

Einstein, the greatest living mathe- 

matician, failed in mathematics in 

school, and Ehrlich, probably the 

greatest of chemists who contributed 

to medicine, was expelled from school 

because of poor grades in chemistry. 

To make a conlplete survey of the 

exposition the visitor must walk more 

than five miles over concrete side- 

wallrs and floors without retracing his 

steps. Thousands of tons of heavy 

concrete, chat and sand have been 

spread over the entire grounds, and 

continued firmness to this floor is as- 

sured by the addition this year of 

twenty-four large drain basins and the 

underground .iietwork of 75,000 feet 

of sewerage lines. 

The oil show exhibits range from 

the tiny and extremely delicate elec- 

tromagnetic instrument used in esti- 

mating the mass of an atom to the 

steel derricks towering 157 feet from 

the ground and the cracking stills 

weighing more than 200,000 pounds. 

In full operation there will be regular 

gasoline refineries, natural gasoline 

manufacturing plants, rotary a n d 

cable drilling [[nits of all types, gas 

compression stations, welding equip 

ment, pipe treating and wrapping ma- 

chines, te, mention just a few items. 

The automatic pipe line pumping 

station recently completed by the 

American Society of Mechanical En- 

gineers, has aroused the interest of 

the industry in all parts of the world. 

This station is located just east of 

the Marketers and Refiners Building. 

The United States Bureau of Mines, 

Bartlesville Experiment Station, will 

present an oil field control laboratory 

which will eliminate long delays when 

analysis are called for in connection 

with cementing jobs, mud fluid, gas 

conditions, emulsions and water con- 

ditions. The bureau will also display 

some of the more important among 

the 200,000 products of natural gas. 

This will surprise many who suppose 

that cooking food is the most im- 

portant function of gas. 

The international aspect of the ex- 

position and congress has been given 

emphasis by the signing by President 

Hoover of the joint resolution which 

authorized the president to invite 

representatives from fifty-two nations. 

The associations connected with the 

industry, such as the American Pe- 

troleum Institute, the American So- 

ciety of Mechanical Engineers, the 

American Institute of Mining and 

Metallurgical Engineers, the Ameri- 

can Welding Society, the Petroleum 

Geologists Association, the Associa- 

tion of State Geologists, the M'id-Con- 

tinent Oil and Gas Association, the 

Independent Petroleum Association 

of America, the Natural Gasoline 

Manufacturers Association of America, 

The National Credit islen's Associa- 

tion, petroleum division, the Pur- 

chasing Agents Association, the 

Scouts and Landmen's Association, 

the National Conservation Service, 

and numerous others, have perfected 

their plans for participation in the 

exposition program.

It seemed aa It it would have melted 

the lining. 

Every once in a while the flreman 

~-ould leave his seat and pull the coal 

down into the conveyor, where, by 

means of a firing valve and steam 

jets. it was distributed in the fire box 

evenly. It wasn't long before I was 

straddling that gangway and pulling 

down the coal for him. I guess it 

would have been work if I had to do 

it, but I found it great sport. 

I rode the engine all the way into 

Ft. Scott. We got there just at dusk, 

and I think the crew thought I had 

had enough and would deadhead back 

from there. But they didn't know 

me. I might never get to ride an engine 

again and I wanted the thrill of 

some night riding. 

So we pulled into the Fort Scott 

yards and hopped off and went to a 

little restaurant where we ordered 

a substantial meal, while our train 

was being made ap. Then up into the 

yards, where the engine waS ready 

again f ~ the r last lap of the journey 

to Kansas City, with a new crew, and 

a train or 115 cars. 

I rode in the engine as far as Paola, 

Kans., where we took coal and water, 

and--cut the cake. Everybody got a 

piece and it tasted great. At Paola 

I got back In the cupola and slouched 

down in the seat. The little front 

window permitted me to see the track 

ahead, right through the engineer's 

window, and what a great time I had. 

"Dee" came back and asked me if 

I didn't want to rest on one of the 

bunks in the caboose and I told him 

I could sleep when I died, that the 

thrill hadn't near worn off and I was 

good tor all night. 

And I was. 

First "Dee" came back off the engine 

and sat down in a chair before 

his charts and figures, and I saw him 

nodding for many a mile. Then the 

brakeman came back and sat down in 

the caboose for a few moments. 

But most of the time I was alone, 

thrilling with the ride-watching the 

big locomotive pull its 115 cars up 

those hills. Having been in the cab. 

I could see. in my mind, that steam 

gauge registering 230! I could see 

the engineer, Michael Mullane, leaning 

out of the cab-I could see the 

fireman feeding the stoker and pulling 

the coal down in the hole. There 

must be no delay to that endurance 

locomotive-the steam must be up, 

everything must be just right. That 

searching headlight blazed the trail 

and every puff from the exhaust that 

shot up into the air through the stack 

made one marvel at the power-and 

when the booster, which they called 

the "little man", was cut in, it 

HOW TO KEEP FROM 

GROWING OLD 

Always race with locomotives to 

crossings. Engineers like it. It 

breaks the monotony of their jobs. 

Always pass the car ahead on 

curves or turns. Don't use your 

horn, it may unnerve the other fel- 

low and cause him to turn out too 

far. 

Demand half of the road-the 

middle half. Insist on your rights. 

Always speed; it shows people 

you are a man of pep even though 

an amateur driver. 

Never stop, look and listen at 

railroad crossings. It conserves 

time.

off the world's endurance locomotive! 

I had to tell somebody, even at 3:45 

in the morning! 

And I awoke the next morning at 

10:30. Some lady was talking across 

the aisle and I couldn't help but hear. 

And here is what I heard: 

"A girl-rode the endurance loco- 

motive? My I'd like to see he?. Isn't 

she ever going to get up? I have to 

get off at the next statton." 

And the porter said, rather proudly, 

I thought, "No'm, she never got on

ridin' it for all night and I ain't gon- 

na get her up 'till I have to." 

I opened my eyes and sat up. A

were. MY great big coveralls. 

I've gone over that trip, in memory. 

thousands of times! I got all cleaned 

up before long, and, except for the 

coveralls and the dirty handkerchief, 

you wouldn't know I had ever ridden

I've folded those coveralls away,

when Sir Thomas Lipton, internationally

gave this sport its first important impetus 

in the Gulf Coast cities. In that 

year he informed members of the 

Southern Yacht Club of New Orleans 

that he wished to offer a cup for sail 

boat competition each year and his 

otier was accepted by this club which 

invited the Pensacola Yacht Club to 

join, and the Gulf Yachting Association 

was formed. The Brst races were 

held at New Orleans on the waters 

of Lake Ponchartrain and proved so 

popular that other yacht clubs of the 

Gulf Coast cities were attracted and 

joined the association so that the 

regatts for the Sir Thomas Lipton 

Inter-Club Challenge Trophy is now

TRAINS 97.8% ON TIME 

A766 Passenger Trains Make 

Splendid Record During 

W 

August 

HEN one considers the numerous 

things that can happen 

to delay a train, it seems impossible 

that 4,766 passenger trains 

could be operated 97.8 per cent on 

time. That, however. is exactly 

what took place on Frisco Lines during 

the month of August, according to 

a report on this subject issued by the 

oqice of the general manager, Selltember 

8. and this typifies the sort 

of passenger train performance that 

is maintained on the Frisco ~t all 

times. 

Of the Frisco divisions, Central had 

the best performance during August. 

operating 310 trains 99 per cent on 

time which compares with the same 

number trains operated 96.5 per cent 

on time there in the same months 

last year. During August. 1928, 248 

trains were operated and were 92.3 

per cent on time. 

The report places Western divisiou 

in second place. One hundred eightysix 

trains were operated 98.9 per 

cent on time there in August. During 

the same month a year ago 185 trains 

were operated there 100 per cent on 

time and dnring August, 1928, 186 

trains were 99.4 per cent on time 

there. 

Southwestern division is gi\.eu third 

place with 806 trains run 98.3 per 

cent on time. Eight hundred fortyfive 

trains were 96.6 per cent on time 

there in August, 1929, and during 

that month in 1928, a total of 7'43 

trains were 95.2 per cent on time. 

On Texas Lines, 186 trains were 

99.6 per cent on time during August of 

this year which compares with August, 

1929, when the same nunlber 

of trains were 98.9 per cent on time 

and with August, 1928, when 248 

trains were 99.1 per cent on time.

How Money Is Raised 

The primary functiou of our trans 

portation machine is to transport 

noocls and passengers, efficiently and 

economically, and under just and 

reasouable rates. The capital outlay 

requirements of the carriers are 

raised largely through tM issuance 

of notes and other forrnd of decurfties 

at fair interest rates; they are, there-

every effort Lo establish continued 

and sufficient credit through the-'de-' 

relopment of an adequate transpor:

cwmmerce in an efficient and em- 

11omicn1 manner. 

The operating performance of our 

railway system of today is on a higher 

level than ever before, and there Is 

18eason to believe that there will be 

still further progress in maintenance.

advance toward such a goal, capital

NEWS of the FRISCO CLUBS 

Cirls' Club. St. Loxis, Mo. 

Tlle luilcheon of the Frisco Girls' 

Club of St. Louis, held August 27 at 

Hotel Statler, was featured by enter- 

taining and instructive talks. Mr. 

Lawrence McDaniels. former Circuit 

Attorney, was the chief speaker and 

talks were made also by the following 

officials: F. H. Hamilton, J. H. Dog- 

grell, M. M. Sisson. R. V. Cooper and 

S. S. Butler. About sixty-four meni- 

bers and guests were in attendance. 

Mrs. Louise Gibson, president of 

the club, opened the meeting that 

followed the meal by announcing the 

names of the girls whom the club 

had lost recently by marriage-Misses 

Katherine Frable, Dolyne Scott and 

Matilda Froh. A resolution of sym- 

pathy to the brothers and sisters of 

Miss Virginia Manning, a widely- 

known and liked member of the club, 

who died recently. was read into the 

minutes. Mr. Jack Murphy gave sev- 

eral piano solos and Mr. Alfred Cor- 

coran played several cornet solos, ac- 

companied at the piano by Mr. Rus- 

sell Bond, who also gave a number 

of piano solos. 

Fort Scott, Ka~s. 

The discussion at the meeting of 

the Fort Scott Frisco Employes' 

Club, held August 8, was devoted 

principally to planning a picnic to be 

held at Pittsburg, Kan., September 21. 

Twenty-nine members were in attend- 

ance at this session. 

It was decided that invitations 

should be extended to the Frisco Em- 

ployes' Clubs of Joplin, Neodeslia, 

Wichita, Kansas City and other near- 

by towns for the picnic. E. E. Carter, 

acting superintendent, made a brief 

talk, in whtch he suggested aniuse- 

ments for the occasion. He urged 

dancing and competitive athletic con- 

tests, and expressed a hope that the 

attendance would be large. Earl 

Schumaker, and Ed. Knox, clerks, 

were appointed to comprise a commit- 

tee to make further arrangements. 

Following this, a solicitation report 

was read disclosing that nine import- 

ant traffic tips had been secured by 

club members recently and that a 

lively spirit of competition was 

springing up between the various de- 

partments in the matter of obtaining 

business. Bsreral interesting and in- 

structive talks were made on solicita- 

and T. W. Moreland, chief clerk, con- 

tributing some very worthwhile sug- 

gestions toward increaslng the effect- 

iveness of employes efforts in secur-

CANYOUDOIT? 1 

Many a Frisco employe has said: 

"I'd help get traffic for the com- 

pany in a Jiffy if I could just figure 

out a way to do it?" 

Miss Anna Meyers, of the Kan- 

sas City revising bureau, said that 

one morning-and set out to find 

a way. She did, too. 

Miss Meyers belongs to the Cri- 

terion Sunday School Class of the 

Linwood Methodist Church. Last 

year this class, one hundred and 

fifty strong, made its first annual 

Labor Day trip over the Kansas 

City Southern to Noel, Mo. Some- 

time during March of this year, 

when Miss Meyers heard various 

members of the class discussing 

the 1930 Labor Day outing, she 

communicated that information to 

Mr. E. G. Baker, assistant general 

passenger agent at Kansas City. 

Result: The Frisco took a spe- 

cial train load of Criterion Class 

members to Bella Vista, Ark., and 

return-Frisco all the way-and 

collected approximately $1,000 rev- 

enue. The movement was not a 

matter of record with the Kansas 

City passenger office, Mr. Baker 

explains, and but for the alertness 

of Miss Meyers the movement 

would have been lost to Frisco 

Lines. 

Yes, sir, there are ways and 

ways of getting traffic if you're on 

your toes, looking out of both eyes, 

and using both ears. 

Try it some time and see! ! ! 

tlie Frisco Sulinyland Club of Kan- 

sas City, Mo., held September 2 in 

the W. B. A. club rooms there. 

Prizes in pinochle were won by 

Mrs. Geiger and Mrs. Moore and 

bridge prizes were won by Mrs.

C. L. Payne, assistant superintendent,:lClark and Mrs. Leonard were the win- 

ners of the bunco prizes. Hoskesses 

for the meeting were Mesdames 

O'Connor, Hamilton, Combs and Da- 

vis. Following the games, cake and 

punch were served by the hostesses. 

Wichita, Kans. 

A very interesting discussion of so- 

licitatiou and the formation ot plans 

lor a social meeting constituted the 

business transacted at the meeting of 

the Frisco Employes' Air Capital Club 

of Wichita, Kans., held August 11. 

Eighteen members were in attendance 

at this session. 

Several members made talks or1 

solicitation and especial mention was 

made of the present building activ- 

ities in that section. Considerable 

business had been secured since the 

last meeting, it was reported, each of 

the following obtaining sizable items 

of traffic: A. R. Lester, H. L. Byerly. 

-4. R. Newcome, W. R. Caskey, and 

H. B. Sigler. 

It was decided that the next social

THE FRONT COVER 

General Agent W. H. Crow of 

Pensacola, Fla., isn't wearing a 

worried frown these days. There's 

a reason, too. "Buslness is good 

in Pensacola," Crow says. "It has 

been something marvelous at our 

docks the past thirty days." 

With five or six boats at the 

Frisco docks discharging and 

taking cargo early this month, 

Crow called up a good friend at 

the Pensacola Naval Air station 

and asked for an airplane photo- 

graph. of the docks, for the Frisco 

Employes' Magazine. On the front 

cover of this issue you see the re- 

sult of an airplane flight with an 

excellent photographer handling 

the Graflex.

the Frisco's famous coal tipple are 

the barges "Proctor" and "Coast- 

wise," taking on a cargo of 7,000 

tons of coal for Tampa, Fla. 

Only a few hours before the pic-

steamer "Belgian" had completed 

loading 5,000 bales of cotton for 

Germany, and steamed out into the

School Days -And Whaf Happened af One Friday Afternoon Recifafion 

J 

OHNNIE never did like school! 

He'd just sit and Iook out the window 

and long for the good old 

summer time, with its green grass 

and its swimming pools and its watermelon 

patches. He'd thfnk about it 

until he'd be carried so far away in 

his mind, that he wouldn't even hear 

the teacher when she rapped on her 

desk with the ruler and called his 

name and told hlm lo go ahead and 

study his geography. 

Oh, well-it seemed that Httle boys 

all had to go to school, but he'd be 

glad when he grew up as big as dad 

and mother and didn't have to go. 

And those Friday afternoon recitations! 

They were terrible. Johnnie 

never could remember the lines and 

he'd have La work long lnto the night 

memorleing. Of course, he didn't 

have to say one every Frlday afternoon, 

but his turn came about twice 

a month. 

Mother and dad would coach him, 

and it would sound fine until he got 

up in front of his little classmates 

and he suddenly became aware of the 

fact that hie hands might be dirtythat 

his shoestrings were not evenly 

tied-that there was a little rip in his 

right trouser leg-and away would go 

his recitation, and he'd have to take 

his seat. 

"Now, listen, son," dad said one 

day. "Here'e your report card and 

I'm actually aahamed of it. Four 

'passes' on it and I kuow that you 

can do better. I notice in public 

speaking that the teacher has marked 

it 'very poor'. 

"Well, dad, I can't be good in everything. 

I have to help mother so much 

and carry in the wood for the kitchen 

range and sweep the walk and rake 

the yard until I don't have any time 

to study, kept at night, and I'm too 

tired," Johnnie replied. 

"He has time to study at school," 

Mary. Johnnie's litle sister, said. 

"1 do not," Johnnie promptly responded. 

"Now lhten, Johnnie," said father. 

"I'm going to give you another trial 

and the report card had better look 

much better next month or I'm going 

to take you in the woodshed and im- 

press those facts on you so you'll re- 

member them." 

Next month! Johnnie heaved a 

sigh. And his turn came to speak the 

next Friday. 

And so it happened that the next 

afternoon at school teacher said: 

"Now, children, we're going to have 

some visitors with us on next Friday 

afternoon-the superintendent of the 

grade schools will he here and I am 

anxious that those who are assigned 

to recitations will do the very best 

they can on them." 

And then she read off about six 

names and the last one was-"John- 

nie Hawkins!" It struck terror to 

his heart. The class room full of his 

little friends was bad enough, but 

visitors ! 

And to make it worse, when he got 

home that evening. mother said she 

had had a telephone call from the 

teacher and had been asked to the 

Friday afternoon performances and 

she thought she'd go because Johnnie 

was on the program! 

"What are you going to speak, John- 

uie?" she asked. 

"Oh. 'The Boy Stood on the Burn- 

ing Deck' or sun~pin'. Don't know 

yet." he replied. 

"Well, I hope you do well, for I 

want to be as proud of you as those 

other mothers are of their chfldren. 

If you want me to help you, I will." 

And the week dragged on. On 

Wednesday night Johnnie got out his 

book of poems from which he selected 

his Friday afternoon recitations. 

Slouched down in a comfortable 

chair he began to read flrst one and 

then another. For a wonder, they 

aroused his interest and he kept say- 

ing some of them over and over again. 

wondering if that would be the right 

one. 

Then he made his selection and 

with the book in hand he went off to 

bed. 

Mother saw him reading it again 

the next night and felt sure that 

Johnnie was going to be the envy of 

all the other mothers there. 

And so Friday came. 

Mother got out hie best suit and 

his nice white shirt, with his little 

blue tie; she saw that he polished 

his shoes and combed his hair back 

before he went to school. 

But Johnnie was uncomfortable. 

First of all the snit was itchy! And 

that white collar! Why of all days 

on the day when a fellow had to remember 

so much, dress him up so he 

couldn't think about anything hut not 

turnin' his head too far one way, so 

the collar would scratch! It was all 

wrong. 

And at 2:30 p. m. in filed the delegation 

of vlsitard. Long black-coated 

men who fairly beamed intelligence. 

Johnnie wondered tf, when he was 

educated if he'd look anything like 

that and he kinda hoped he wouldn't. 

Then there was the array of the children's 

mothers. Each one talking 

about her child. 

And the time for the recftations 

was near at hand. First the teacher 

called on Mary Ellen, who, wIth a little 

swish of her pretty dress marched 

up and gave a charming little piece 

and bowing, made her way back to 

her seat. 

Then came Edgar Johnson's little 

poem, and then Sally Green and Mary 

Brownlow and-then came a voice 

which said: 

"And now we are going to have a 

recitation by Johnnie Hawkins!" 

Johnnie gulped, slid slowly out of his 

seat and made his way to the platform. 

But every line that he had 

memorized had slipped from his mind 

and this is what he said: 

"My Beautiful, my beautiful, tl~nt

aohnnie, his face a crimsol

Helpful Hints on Menu Planninz for the Familg 

P 

ERHAPS the most c o m m o n 

problen~ the homemaker is called 

upon to solve is planning the 

whole family nieiiu. This may be trying, 

indeed, if one has a family of 

varying ages, for the respective needs 

of its individual ineinbers may be as 

divergent as the poles. 

Of course, the problem of each 

liousewife is an individual one. To 

plan whole family menus, adaptable 

to every family is a physical impossibility. 

There are. however, certain 

principles which may be borne in 

nlind that will simplify the task considerably. 

These may be applied to 

the planning of the menu as a whole 

and it may then be modified to suit 

the particular requirement of any 

family. 

The first requisite is proper balance. 

We know that the human body 

requires water, protein, mineral salts, 

fats and carbohydrates. Vitamins, 

too, are essential and we, therefore, 

aim to use as many fruits and root 

and leafy vegetables as possible as 

well as rnllk, eggs, cereals, meats and 

butter, which as a source of pure fats 

and oils, is both wholesome and econorniCaL 

It should be remembered 

that R varied diet is elastic and may 

be adapted readily to the needs of any 

family, 

Homemakers will welcome tlie following 

menu suggestions and will find 

that marketing is greatly simplified 

by planning whole family menus as 

largely as possible, several days in 

advance. 

Here is the program, suggested for 

one day: 

BREAKFAST 

Sliced Bananas 

Cereal 

Bacon and Eggs 

Toast 

Coffee. Cream and Milk 

LUNCH 

Asparagus Souffle 

Date Muffins and Butter or Margarine 

Sliced Peaches 

Tea Milk

Wasted Moments 

The wedding bells had pealed some 

time ago, yet the attendants and the 

functionaries were still standing 

around embarrassedly waiting for the 

principals to show up. At last the 

bridegroom came tearing down the 

corridor. 

"Am-am I late?" he gasped. 

The best man put out a hand to 

comfort him. 

"No, you're on time," he assured 

him. "The bride was delayed in get- 

ting a divorce from her last husband." 

"Well, of all the rotten luck!" the 

bridegroom exclaimed, hurling his 

gardenia to the floor, "I could have 

kept that date with Helen!" 

Would-be-Employer-"Have you any 

references?" 

Would-be-Employee-"Sure," and he 

handed him the following letter:

HE'S a clear-thinking chap. He realizes 

that he cannot count on accident to help 

him ahead. He knows that promotion comes 

only from preparation. He is studying ear- 

nestly and eagerly to fit himself for some- 

thing better-using every extra moment 

that offers itself. 

The International Correspondence Schools 

are helping him, guiding him, as they have 

thousands of other men and women. Regu- 

lar monthly reports, mailed to his superiors, 

have interested them in his progress. They 

are ready and anxious to recognize honest 

ambition - to promote any one who is 

equipped hy training to handle increased

Refrigerator Cars 

The prevailing method of obtaining refrigeration in 

transit is by means of naturally-circulated air, cooled either 

by contact with ice or mixtures of ice and salt, placed in ice 

containers or bunkers located at each end of an insulated car; 

or brine contained in tanks. Some modifications of this 

system and others differing radically have been designed and 

operated, but are not in extensive use. Experiments are 

also being conducted with Dry Ice, which is a trade name for 

solid carbon dioxide. 

Refrigerator cars may be divided into two general types: 

one, equipped with brine tanks and generally used for carry- 

ing meats; the other, equipped with ice bunkers and used 

principally for carrying commodities such as eggs, butter, 

vegetables and fruits.

Grip 

Even on equipment that has been 

scrapped, after long sewice, the Grip 

Nuts are found firmly in place. 

Reclaimed, oil-protected from rust, 

thousands of these veteran nuts are 

once more in the storerooms, awaiting 

perhaps their twentieth application. 

And, on locomotives, on cars-on 

trucks, draft gear, bodies-anywhere 

they're put-they'll hold bolted parts 

tightly, reliably, in place, just as they 

did on their first application. 

Only Crip Nuts can make such a 

claim; only Grip Nuts have such a rec- 

ord. The secret of positive, repeated, 

locking is built, invisibly, into Crip 

Nuts alone. 

The service of twenty nuts in one 

Crip Nut! Think what that means in 

reduced maintenance costs !

A Hamilton Watchman 

a m . and 

poud of it 

That's Conductor George H. Ramsdem of the Pennsylvania 

Lines' New York-Philadelphia flier, The Owl. 

He's got a good, reliable Hamilton to bring him through on time. 

Like all g d 

railroad men his schedule is a sacred obligation and 

with the help of his Hamilton Railroad Watch he follows it to a 

split minute. 

You, too, can share the feeling of pride and confidence that 

comes to the owners of really fine timepieces. Get yourself a sturdy 

Hamilton 992, or any one of the many pocket or strap models. 

Then, you'll know why Hamilton Watchmen are proud of the 

watches they carry. A convenient Hamilton timebook is yours for 

the asking. Address Department R., Hamilton Watch Company, 

Lancaster, Penna.

(Left) Van Buren with new se cometer dial, $60.00. (Center) Greenwich, $55.00 

(Right) Hamilton 992, R ailroad Model No. 2, with non-pull-out stem.
