EFFICIENTTRANSPORTATIOI"
EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR
Momm
transportation has three c o n mandments; first, safety; second, comfort; third,
being able to make time. These commandments
apply to automobiles as well as to railroads and
airplanes, and every Chrysler Motors productfrom the highest-priced t o the lowest-priced-is
designed t o keep them.
T h e utmost in safety can be assured only by
utzifarrnly high quality. A large group of research
experts is employed by Chrysler Motors to the
end that this will be attained by every car on
the list. Maximum of comfort, too, is one
of the' aims of their research. These
experts continually a r e seeking n e w
materials, designs and methods of auto-
mobile engineering and manufacturing. Hundrh
of other men constantly are using harsh ar
drastic tests - checking and re-checking eve;
part that goes into any Chrysler Motors prod^
to assure that it will uphold the integrityimplit
by Chryler Standa rdired Qzm lity.
And as t o being o n time!-if you like to "whe
'em" over the bad stretches o r "let 'er roll" c
the smoothest highway, you'll find thesecarsquie
seemingly without haste; eager to go at eve:
touch of the throttle; agile in traffic - and c
time with a maximum of safety! There
swift, sure, efficient transportati~!
every day of the year in any Ch'yslt
Motors product.

Phe tournament began promptly acding to schedule a t 2.00 p. m. on
:t" 10, and proceeded without a hitch

4th and L. D. Tully. Bowlers were
:the alleys until after midnight on
the first day, in order t o allow some
of the men to return home t h a t evening o r on t h e morning of t h e l l t h .
Nearly all the Kansas City aggregation returned the night of the 10th
as did a large portion of the St. Louis
pinmen. All of the five-man teams
had finished bowling by 5 o'clock on
the afternoon of May 11, and the
doubles and singles were finished on
the evening of May 12.
T h e crowd of onlookers was especially large on the evening of
May 10 and the afternoon of the

be splendid hosts to the out-of-town
bowlers, meeting trains and showing
the visitors to hotels, and visitors
were provided with cards which entitled them to sandwiches and drinks
a t t h e lunch counter in t h e bowling
alley through t h e courtesy of t h e
Springfield Frieco [Men's Club. The
entire tournament was a decided success, it was agreed by all connected
with it. It bronght to light a great
deal of bowling talent and provided
an excellent opportunity for the cementing of employe contacts and
many a friendship and acquaintance
was formed in Springfield during this
meet to t h e tune of the tumbling
pins.
Total receipts from t h e tournament
amounted to $246.75 and t h e total expenses were $14.60, leaving $232.15 to
be divided among the differeut prize

50 per cent to t h e five-man events, 25
per cent to the doubles, 15 per cent
to the singles and 10 per cent to the
all-event men. Of the amounts allotted to each event, 40 per cent went
to first place, 25 per cent to second,
15 per cent t o third and 10 per cent to
each fourth and flfth places.

H E R E was standing room only
in the St. Ambrose School Hall
a t Chaffee, Mo., o n April 25,
when members of the Frisco Employes' Club of t h a t city presented t h e
clever one-act comedy, "I Want a Divorce." I t was one of the most successful entertainments presented to
the public by that club.
The scene of t h e play is laid in the
law offices of Herman Van Dergnnder
and August Loudenspouter.
The
part of Herman is taken by Bob Geisike, timekeeper, and August i s portrayed by Marion Gisi, assistant chief
clerk. On t h e wall is a conspicuous
sign which reads "Divorces a Specialty."
Into t h e scene comes Ethel Burton,
who demands t h a t August Loudenspouter secure her a divorce. Shortly
a f t e r George Burton arrives and demands of Herman Van Dergander
that he secure him a divorce. The
wife charges that her husband called
her a roundhead, and the husband
says the wife called him a square
head. After t h e two attorneys have
collected their retainer's fee, they
proceed to patch up t h e matrimonial
troub!e between the Burtons, and t h e
husband and wife leave with their
a r m s around one another. Miss Leota
Friend takes t h e part of t h e wife and
Norman Matthews, the husband.
But the troubles of these two lamyers a r e not over, for immediately
upon t h e departure of the Burtons,
Tinsel Flippy, colored, and h e r "good
fo' nothin' husband", Samuel, apply
for a divorce. Samuel is instituting
the proceedings. Upon finding that
he must pay his wife $25.00 a week
alinlony and also find a job and cease
to be a financial burden to her, he
decides t h a t i t will be better to go
along on the old plan and carry and
deliver the washing for his wife. who
is the provider.
The last c o u ~ l eto come into the
office a r e the son and daughter of the
two attorneys, newlyweds. T h e two
fathers settle the trouble between t h e
two by a good old-fashioned spanking.
They leave t h e office, a r m i n arm.
The curtain goes down on the two
lawyers pointing t o the sign "DIVORCES A SPECIALTY."

WHALE TO SOAP!
Forty Frisco tank cars were
called upon to handle an unusual
commodity during May. The whale
oil steamer Southern Princess arc
rived in Pensacola on May 7 from
the whaling grounds in the Anarctic Ocean. Aboard she carried
whale oil valued at more than $1,O o , O b O , and dutiable, incidentally,
at the rate of eight cents a gallon.
The vessel is of the refinery type,
and has compartments for hauling
dead whales into the ship, where
the reducing process is carried out.
The forty tank cars of whal-e oil
were shipped via Frisco Lines to
plants of the Proctor and Gamble
Company a t Kansas City and Cincinnati, where the oil is used in
the manufacture of soap.
The fllm has had a far-reaching effect in presenting the hazard of careless motorists a t railroad crossings,
and both the railroad and the American Legion feel that the result has
been well worth the effort.
At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the St. Louis-San Francisco
Railway Company, held in St. Louis,
May 13, the following directors were
elected: Messrs. Leonard D. Adkins
of New York City; David P. Bennett
of Pittsburgh, Pa. ; Donaldson Brown

detector is the property of the Sperry
Rail Service Corporation o l Brooklyn,
N. Y., and has been used a s a safety
precantion work by several railroad
of the United States.
T h e machine was designed primarily for locating transverse fissures i n
rails in track, and i t has received the
approval of the American Railway Associatioa. It consists of two cars, one
a gasoline motor car of adequate
capacity for towing t h e detector car
a t the uniform speed desired, and the
detector car, which consists of another gasoline motor directly connected to a generator which supplies,
through brushes bearing on t h e rails,
the electricty necessary to energize it.
The detecting device is located between the two brushes and the impulse created by the fissures or other
defects, is brought up through a radia
amplifying apparatus and relays to
a recording mechanism. T h e record of
both rails of t h e track is made on paper about three inches wide, subject
to easy blue printing.

paint gun marks the location of defective rails a s the car passes over

T h e device, as stated above, was

which is exenlplified in t h e record for the system during the month o'
April, is one of the many features
which commend t h e Frisco t o travelers who demand the best in transportation.
During April the 4,754
trains operated on the Frisco system
were 98.3 per cent 011 time, t h e monthly report on this subject, issued by the
office of the general manager, Springfield, Mo., reveals.
T h e performance maintained on
Texas Lines during the month of
April is especially noteworthy. The
1SO trains operated there were 99.4
per cent on time, all increase of .6
per cent over the record made there
during April of last year when the
same number of traius were operated.
During April, 1928, a total of 240
trains was operated on Texas Lines
and they were 95.4 per cent on time.
Northern division had t h e best
record of any of the Frisco divisions.
A total of 1,050 trains mere operated
there and they were 99.1 per cent on
time. This is a n improvement over
the record of 1,078 trains, operated
96.6 per cent on time, which was
made there during the previous April
and a slightly higher per cent than
was recorded for this division during
April, 1928, when 1.290 trains were
operated 99.0 per cent on time.
River division is ranked second in
the report with 824 trains opernted
99.0 per cent on time. This compares
favorably with April of 1929 when the
876 trains operated there were 96.8
per cent on time. During April, 1928.
a total of 1,008 trains were operated
on this division and x e r e 98.7 per ceut
on time.
The report ranks Southwestern division in third place for April of this
year. Passenger trains on this division were 98.5 per cent 011 time and a
total of 840 was operated. This is a
higher per cent than was made there
in either April, 1929, or 1928. During
April, 1929, a total of 779 trailis were

HE RAISES FRISCO FLOWERS
Frisco Employes' Hospital Association
(Continued f r o m Page 8 )
h e grew older he experimented with
seeds and grafting.
Then he was
side-tracked, so to speak and for
awhile h e became a store accountant
for the Frisco from 1917 to 1928.
H e was appointed traveling store
accountant in 1928 and served for one
year.
But the idea of literally setting each
station on Frisco Lines ablaze with
glorious flowers still persisted, and
Mr. F . H. Shaffer, general manager
offered the suggestion that each station and section house have a gnrden. President Kurn answered the
suggestion by authorizing t h e money
necessary t o furnish t h e bulbs and
seeds t o all Frisco agents and section
foremen interested in planting a garden. Thus Mr. Fellows' hobby became a Frisco-wide plan and his
dreams became realities.
During t h e first year of t h e flower
program, 12,218 plants and bulbs were
shipped t o Frisco employes.
This
year t h e orders have run well over
1,000 and the program just getting
started, and in place of the 12,218
plants, the number of plants will run
well into the 100,000 mark.
A trip through the greenhouse
alone, will leave flower-lovers speechless with delight. Here Mr. Fellows
has concentrated some of his rare
specimens, such a s the elkhorn fern,
which measures 8 feet across. As
will be seen in the picture, h e has
a variety of cactus, including t h e parrott and red and pink cactus.
T h e r e is in the greenhouse a banana
plant from Atmore, Ala., on t h e
Frisco; trees from Lisbon, Portugal;
Clematis red vine from China; a
Japanese flowering cherry, such a s
one finds in t h e far-famed cherry
grove at TVashington, D. C.; spiraea
from Northern China; a pine tree
from Austria; two peach trees from
Spain; peach trees from Persia;
Nectarine from New Zealand; peaches
from India; a crabapple from Manchuria, China, and also a n apricot
tree from Manchuria.
Along the well lighted house one
finds the crucifixion plant, the artillery plant, the latter so called because
when it is hot and is watered, it
smokes; new rubber plants with
leaves that bleed; the well-known
"hen and chickens" in eight separate
varieties, and six varieties of rhodendron. T h e bird-nest fern is a new
one, and according to Mr. Fellows i s
a parasite. I t grows with long green
shoots, leaving a hollow in the center,
wherein rests a black mass t h a t is
shaped like a bird nest. Another new
fern of which h e is particularly proud

It is interesting to note t h a t t h e following varieties of shrubs have been
requested and sent out for Frisco
flower beds; Spiraea, Forsythia, Butterfly Bush, TVeigelia, Shrub Honeysuckle, Purple Wisteria, American
Bittersweet, Desmodium, Snowballs,

RECIPES FOR SUMMER
There is no form of exercise comparable with hiking for body building or for the rejuvenation of jaded
appetites. If one is inclined to doubt
the latter statement, h e needs but to
take a good hike in the open a i r to
experience t h e craving for food which
comes a s a result of "getting back to
nature." Because of this feature anyone contemplating a hike will do well
to carry out the following suggestions
for preparing luncheon. Energy foods
a r e essential, therefore margarine is
used in the recipes given because it
is rich in the elements necessary for
the refueling of the human machine.
Foundation Spread f o r Sandwiches
Cream one part of margarine with
one-half part of rich milk or cream.
Mustard, salt, grated horseradish,
chopped parsley, chives, ripe olives,
pickles or curry-paste or powder may
be added to this for use a s a foundation in sandwiches of beef, toruato,
game, chicken, fish, cheese, or eggs.
Rolled Sandwiches
Cut the crusts from a fresh loaf of
bread (or if a stale loaf of bread
is used, cut off the crusts and
wrap for a n hour in a cloth w r m g
from cold water). Spread a thin layer
of Foundation Spread on one end of
the loaf and then cut from it a s thin
a slice a s possible. If additional filling is used, spread it also on the slice
of bread. Roll this slice with the
covered side inward and lay it on a
napkin, with the edge of the slice
downward. When all the sandwiches
have been prepared, draw the napkin
firmly a r o u ~ i dthe rolls and put them
in a cold place until needed. The
margarine will harden and hold the
rolls together.
In making sandwiches in quantity,
route the work so that there will be
no waste motions. Allow enough space
f o r cutting the bread, spreading the
slices with margarine, and then fllling,
shaping and wrapping the sandwiches.
Picnic sandwiches should each be
wrapped in paraffin paper to retain
their freshness.

INTRODUCING JOAN DILLON
We've left it up to little Joan Dillon,
age six months, to introduce the
charming and talented children which
appear on these two pages.
Perhaps Joan can't talk much, but
she can laugh! Can't you just hear
her gurgle? She's telling you right
But whatever Joan does when she
grows to womanhood, she'll always be
proud of her father a n d her four
uncles, all Frisco en~ployes.
And now that she has shown you
how she can grab hold of both toes, a t
once, s h e wants you to go on and
look a t the other children. on these
pages.
"There's a whole page of Newburg
babies," she says. "Look a t them all,
because they're darling."
And now t h a t Joan has asked you
to look, we're going t o tell you about
all of them.
A PERFECT BABY
Vern Edward is just a little shy,
but nevertheless, he's got a tiny little
smile on his face and he's holding in
his chubby little hand t h e cup which
he won for being a 99.2 per cent per-
--
A DANCING DAUGHTER
This dainty little miss, in her
flimsy dancing' frock is N i s s Elizabeth
Marie Hansen, a g e 5 years, the
daughter of AIr. E. AI. Hansen, clerk
In master mechanic's office a t Nem-
now that it's no trouble a t all to sit
down and grab both toes. "Bet you
can't do it,'" she says, to those who
a r e quite a bit older than Joan.
Joan is another 100 per cent Frisco
baby. If s h e could talk she'd tell
you that her father, Elmer L. Dillon
is a first-class machinist a t the Springfield North Shops. She knows he's
awfully busy, because he leaves early
in the morning and she stays a t home
with mother all day and then daddy
returns in the evening, and s h e
shows him how s h e can grab both
toes. T h e trick never grows old!
Then Joan has foul* uncles: Uncle
George Jury, assistant superintenclent; Uncle Alvin Canary, engineer;
Uncle F r a n k Dillon, fireman and
Uncle Millard Dillon, fireman.
"It's just too bad I'm not a boy,"
Joan seems to say. "because if I. was,
then I know I'd grOw u p to be a 'sistant superintendent, or a n engineer,
or a fireman, or work in the big Frisco
shops."

I. R. HODGEN, R e p o r t e r
T
HE immense new Cincinnati
Power Brake Press, s e t up in
the W e s t Coach Shop a t Springfield, No., on March 14, is attracting
great attention among the mechanical
men of Frisco Lines. This press is
used in fabricating sheet metal parts
of coaches and cars, such as metal
frames of windows, vestibule panels,
flanges for lockers, kitchen work in
diners, sash rests, etc., by the use of
various kinds of dies. The machine
weighs 43,000 pounds, and has a pressure of 180 tons. It is the last word
in a power brake press, and has a
capacity a t one stroke to bend %-inch
steel ten feet over all length.
It is the type of machine used in locomotive production and by such plants
as automobile concerns and the majority of concerns engaged in the fabricating of steel metal parts in practically all branches of the trade. I t
is a quantity production machine, and
will aid greatly i n the rebuilding of
cars a t the W e s t Coach Shop.
The use of formed sheet steel in the
mechanical a r t s and processes Is
growing very rapidly and unquestionably has a promising future before
it. Wood, and wooden construction,
because of its ever-increasing cost
and its lack of physical strength and
resisting qualities is giving way before it, and will give way in many
fields where today it is still supreme.
Shop equipment, metal passenger
and freight cars, metal building details and formed-metal structural
work a r e some of the latest inroads
in the fields of one-time wood construction. One great handicap that
has retarded the more general use of
steel has been the high cost of manufacturing. Yet when this equipment
is manufactured
in
a
properly
equipped works in large quantities,
it becomes less expensive thaii wood.
Stock room shelving and bins and
many other lilies of steel construction
can today be bought cheaper thaii
wood, in some cases for less than
onehalf of t h e cost of wood, and this
machine will greatly aid i n t h e construction work a t the shops.

A GOOD WATCH

IMAGINE
yourself without a watch!
You'd be lost. A fine watch is part
and a good
of a railroad man
part too. It's mighty important that
you guard it with a worthy chain. A
chain to stand up under constant handling
under dirt and grease
under punishing day-in,day-out wear.
Simmons makes such chains! The
one nt right (30876) was designed
especially for Hamilton No. 5 (it
may be worn, of course, with other
fine watches) and costs $8.25, alone,
yellow gold-filled ;and 810.50, alone,
in green or white gold, or a combination of both colors. At your wateh inspector's. R. F. Simmons Company,
Attleboro, Massachusetts.

R
IGHT where the dash-dots fly
thick, Sidney Silverman stokes
the old pipe with a good load of
Edgeworth and then catches 'em as
fast as they come. Edgeworth's cool
smoke makes the trick easier, says he,
by steadying a man's nerves and helping him to hold his mind on the job.
Mr. Silverman ought to know, for he
keeps a little blue can of Edgeworth
handy all the time on his job as telegrapher with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road at the I hion Depot in Chicago.

Who?
The grocer or druggist.
What?
A dime.
Why?
For a cake of Lava Soap that'll get the
grimiest hands clean in 58 seconds. You can
see the pulverized Italian pumice in Lava
Soapdrag out the dirt, but you can't feel it.
Lava makes a rich, creamy, pcnetrating
lather in the hardest water. But it won't
harm your skin. It's the busiest hand cleaner
you've ever tried.

A Device That Enables the Locomotive
to Adjust Itself to Curvature

AY after

are
d , ~ ,modern
running
locomo-
from
one
t h e country t o another
with comparative ease. Over the
varying grades they go and when t h e s
hit a s h a r p curve we often wonder
what keeps them on t h e track and
how they a r e able t o withstand the
heavy stresses that must be encountered.
The remarkable improvement in
track and roadbed in recent years has
seen a corresponding improvement in
the design of the locomotive a s it affects track structure.
Years ago, attempts were made to
improve the tracking of long wheel
base engines by setting driving
wheel tires a t different distances from
t h e center to divide the guiding eff o r t among the different driving
wheels. Even flangeless tires were
used t o a large extent with this object in view. These eS2orts were a
recognition of the need of relieving
t h e track from t h e stresses arising
from the long rigid driviug wheel
base of big modern locomotives having four or more pairs of drivers.
As time went on, maintenance expense continually rose. Rails a s well
a s the tire flanges were slowly worn
away by thc constilnt strain. Frequently the stresses exerted on the
tire flanges were double the static
load on the wheels.
T h e locomotive's
running gear
parts also suffered due to the stresses
resulting from passing driving wheels
couplet1 together in a rigid, unyielding wheel base through curvex.
In overcoming these destructive
stresses, little progress was made until the development of the Lateral
Motion Driving Box.
BY means of this device, the length
of the rigid wheel base is reduced
and lateral motion is provided for one
or more driving axles. When the loconlotive passes through a curve or
heavy lateral thrusts results from the
driving wheels impinging agaiust the
track. the lateral motion ax'es will
deflect
with
a
pre-determir
constant resistance, thus distribul
the lateral thrust over several p?
of wheels instead of being conr
trated on a single pair. This n.
tnnce holds the lateral motion ar
in normal central position. The 1
structive shocks between the ah.
flanges and rail that a r e inhereut n?
either a rigid wheel base or a Itfloating axle a r e also eliminated.
The important results accomplisb~
by t h e Lateral Notion Driving B,
a r e f a r reaching, despite its camps
tively simple construction, conslsfr
a s it does of nothing more than

hen the loconlotive enters a curve
deflects lrom its normal straight
orve so as to cause the front axle
which the laternl motion driving
r is applied, to move over in a
rral direction, the driving box of
-
outer side of the curve will be
)red fnwnrd by the wheel hub. This
luro moves the rocker in t h e same
-vetion causing t h e lower end of
.vertical member to exert a thrnst
i~nst the crosstie. This thrust
w the horizontal member and
wquenlly the leg of the spring
:die resting Upon it, against the
=
4on of the spring. The resistance
.+red by the spring, acting downrd through the saddle leg on t h e
1 of the rocker,
exerts a correanding thrust against the adjusting
dee face in the crosstie, forcing
I
box back to its normal position.
11e this is occurring the axle slides
-mah the box on the opposite side
-1 the lateral motion device remains
Its normal position. T h e purpose
'the adjusting wedge is to provide
ans for taking up any wear which
.firs between the contact surfaces.
The demonstrated
usefulness
of
m l lotion Driving Boxes on 2-
4 locomotives has led to their use
locomotives where
:are applied a s a means of con'bug huh, box and tire wear. T h e
-?Its have fully justified expectaw. The Driving Boxes so equipped
lrom shopping to shopping without
-ing up lateral; flange wear is ren d more than 50 per cent over t h a t
exactly similar engines not
:Xikado type
equipped, and there is no cutting o r
grinding of flanges in passing through
curves.
The accompanying chart i!lustrates
different tire contours showing the
flange wear with and without the
Lateral Motion Driving Box. These
tire contours were taken from hlikado
locomotives in the s a m e class and
operating in the fiame service.
The locomotives with Lateral 310tion Driving Boxes after eighteen
months' service showed so little wear
a t the hub face of the driving boxes
t h a t no attention was required a t this
point. These engines a r e in daily service over a 140-mile division of a large
eastern railroad where numerous
curves a r e encountered.
In the case illustrated, application
of this device reduced tire wear by
64 per cent and enabled hub plates to
run over two shoppings.
This distribution of tire wear and
consequent reduction 011 the first pair
of drivers lengthens t h e life of all
tires due to the practice of turning
all wheels to the diameter of the
smallest wheel which is generally the
first driver. It 1s alco obvious that
such a reduction in t h e wear on locomotive tire flanges and driving wheel
hubs must mean a corresponding reduction of wear on rail and tie.
Therefore, the application of the
Lateral Motion Driving Box has a
beneficial effect on the track and
roadbed a s it reduces wear on the
rail head, thereby increasing the
service life of the rail; reduces the
tendency of the rail to tilt, thereby
lessening the mechanical destruction
of the tire directly under the rail base
-a common cause of tie renewal and
damage; reduces t h e labor and cost
of track maintenance, and in consequence, traffic interference; reduces
the possibility of derailment, thereby
increasing track safety; stops the
"nipping" of the leading drivers in
rounding a curve on a tangent track
and makes the forward drivers assist
in steering t h e engine; permits additional pair of drivers without increasing t h e length of the rigid wheel
base, thereby allowing locomotives
with long driving wheel base to operate on curves that otherwise they
could not take. In other words, the
Lateral Motion Driving Box puts the
rigid wheel base of any engine into
the class below it in lateral pressure
against and wear on the rail head.
The last mentioned advantage of
the Lateral Notion Driving Box is
especially applicable to the switching type of locomotive. Eight-wheel
switchers a r e replacing six-wheelers
all over t h e country. Every railroad
would use them were it not for their
long rigid wheel base. They pull
more and a r e in every way more suitable to meet the expanding demands
of terminal work except In the one
particular t h a t they cannot take the
same curves a s t h e six-wheel switchers. This limits their range of use
and increases the cost of maintenance
because of flange and hub wear. T h e
Lateral Motion Driving Box removes
this limitation. It enables a n eightwheel switcher to go anywhere a sixwheel switcher can go.
Today, curves a r e no serious handicap to a locomotire. A lateral device
has been provided that enables t h e
modern locomotive to adjust itself
readily to the conformation of the
curve and greatly lessen flange, hub
and rail wear.
