B U N N
Every railroad man knows the importance
of time control in the remarkable exactness of
modern train operation. And that's why railroad men everywhere have such confidcnce in
their SixSixty Bunn Specials. For Illinois has
gone far beyond accepted requirements for
railroad timing to the creation of new standards of assured control.
Justly known as the safety watch, the Bunn
Special will run more than 60 hours on one
winding-one
of the most o u t s t a n d i n g improvements in railroad watches in years.

HE Frisco Lines ended 192s
with a surplus of $8.216.507, an increase of 10.1
per cent over 1927, despite a
decrease in both gross revenue
aucl net operating income, th?
annual report of the company
shows. This amount I s equal to
$11.01 per share on common
stock, as compared with $10 for
last year. Gross revenue for
t h e year was $55,782,817, a decrease
over t h e previous year of $3,476,767,
or 3.9 per cent, m ~ dnet railway operating income for the year was $20,969,445, a decrease of $1,054,013, or
4.8 per cent over over 1927.
Freight earnings for 1928 decreaseel
$931,626 and passenger earnings decreased $2,571,920,
A significant part of the statement
showed that taxes paid by the company for the pear 1928 amounted to
$5,212,202, equal t o 6.08 per cent of
the gross revenue, and a n increase of
$219,671, or 4.4 per cent over 1927.
Regular quarterly dividends of one
and one-half per cent on the old six
per cent preferred stock (retiree1
J u n e 1st) were paid on February first
and May first, a s well a s one month's
accrual paid June first when the stoclc
was redeemed. On the common stoclc
dividends were paid in quarterly instnllments (luring the year a t the rate
of seven per cent per annum, plus one
per cent extra. Dividends were declared in advance for t h e year 1929
on the preferred stock a s follows:
One and one-half per cenL payable
February 1, 1929, to stockl~olders of
record January 2, 1929; one and onehalf per cent payable May 1, 1929, to
stockholders of record April 13. 1929;
one and one-half per cent payable
August 1, 1929, to stockholders of
record July 1, 1929; and one and onehalf per cent payable November 1,
1929, to stockholders of record October 1, 1929.
An outstauding achievement of the
year was t h e material improvement
of the capital structure of the conlpany. A new consolidated mortgage
was executed and $100,000,000 of consolidated mortgage four and onequarter per cent gold bonds were
sold. There also was issued $49,157,400 of new six per cent preferrecl
slock. T h e sale of these bonds and
preferred stock provided funds for
retirement of matured and called
mortgage obligations and for other
corporate purposes.

Llnder the heading "Employes'
Slubs", and signed by President
Kurn and Chairman Brown, the re3ort states:
"Having i n mind the thought
that 'in union there is strength',
the employes, some t h i r t y thousand strong, have organized clubs
with the idea of using t h e i r influence i n attracting freight and
passenger business t o the company.
These clubs are of a social nature,
are self-sustaining, and were created t o perpetuate the idea of increasing the earnings b y recommending their company's freight
and passenger service t o the public; also by actual solicitation.
Considerable business has been se.

have only been three in the past
filty years. A11 three of them a r e
living, two of them still in t h e
employ of Frisco Lines and one, the
first, a retired veteran.
J. &I. Filler, the retired veteran was
the first agent, and he came to Colunlbus in 1875. H e was succeeded by J.
A. Miller who took the post on Mr.
Filler's retirement in 1920. Mr. Miller
ia now agent a t Webb City, Mo., and
he was succeeded by .J. L. Greenup.
The total' service of
the three is approxilnately 125 years.
Mr. Filler is perhaps the oldest male
citizen of Columbus.
When he arrived in
Columbus he became

The east and west
line had been built by

Pierce City to Brownsville. The line
was later 111iilt on to Oswego in 1378
by the Missouri and Western.

H e also served a t Sarcoxie, No., for

"I remember the little old engines,"
he said. "They couldn't pull but
eight cars with ten tons to a car ot
freight. The worst reprimand r ever
got was one time when I permitted a
shipper to put twelve tons in one of
those cars."
When Mr. Filler took up his duties
at the station he attended to every
detail himself. H e was agent, operator, baggageman, espressman and
his hours were froni seven i n the

There is one thing of which he boasts.

The Thrilling- Aduentures of Timmy Boy
PART IV
S the train rolled along. Timrny
Boy's father and mother realized that their young son had
actually been under the big tent in
the afternoon, and that the man who
caused the cat to be let out of his
cage, mas the man who stole Timmy.
It was aggravating, and it seemed
hopeless. It had now been six weeks
since Timmy Boy had been stolen. To
his mother anti lather it seemed like
six years.
But the show went on, winding
from one town to another, drawing
the huge crowds to t h e tent. It was
only a month or so now until the circus would go into winter quarters ant1
the intensive training campaign of the
new animals to be added to the circus
ring would be on.
One day the circus played in a delightful little 'ity.
The crowds were
good and t h e show went off without
a hitch. Timmy's father was out for
a walk with Timmy's mother anti they
passed by a wonderful big home. In
the yard children of all ages were
playing under t h e direction of nurses.
Timmy Boy's father and mother
paused to view the sight. And then
Timmy Boy's father had a n idea. H e
saw the sign. It was a n Orphan's
home.
"I know what we should do,
n~other," he said. "Let's go in and
invite the orphans to the show. I'm
sure we can Ax it up when we get
back and if we can't we'll just pay
their w a y in and do i t for Timmy
Coy."
Timmy Boy's mother was enthusiastic. Always in her mind was t h e
thought that soon-oh, very soon, she
would run across Timmy Boy. So
they interviewed t h e Matron of t h e
Home and she promised to have the
orphans a t the shown en masse.
On returning to t h e show grounds,
Timmy Boy's father fixed it up with
t h e manager and seats were reserved
for t h e orphans.
For once Timmy Boy's mother's
face brightened. T h e sight of the
children made her eager to give them
a good show. She dressed with deliberation, taking from the rack her

Such a declaration in one's parlor might occasion a heated debate.
Yet our railroads, particularly those lines
carrying wheat for export, most certainly have
"gone charitable," and done so with becoming
grace and admirable alacrity.
Those wheat carrying lines have agreed to
make agriculture in America a present, generally speaking, of $9,000,000.

Since the government estimates a surplus of
150,000,000 bushels to be exported, the magnanimity of the railroads' offer can be figured
in simple arithmetic.
To fully appreciate the significance of this
offer, we railroad employes should clearly understa~idthat the railroads a r e contributing a
part of their own revenues to agriculture, and
doing it voluntarily. The Interstate commerce
Commission, after prolonged examination, has
decided that the rates a r e reasonable. But

there were three instructors and

has become necessary t o employ five
instructors to take care of t h e rnpid

students. While the sclrool is under

4 t t h e present time t h e students
a r e taught various types of drafting
and blue print reading, shop mathematics, and machine and floor shop
work.
As t h e school becomes more widely
known and the enrollment increases.
it will be possible to illcrease the
range of subjects to meet the demand
of any who may wish to specialize
in some other subject other than what
is being taught a t the present time.

Service Helpful
ALL branches of railroad service are today demanding

The 3Iechanical Department
greater efficiency.
scrks methods of increasing power and decreising fuel
consumption. Bridge and building men must be familiar with the most modern types of railroad structures. Car inspectors must unaerstand Lhe construction of all kinds of cars.
Firemen must have detailed knowledge of the opmtion of locomotives and the proper use of fuel in order
to become engineers. Engineers must be expert in all
matters relating tq their engines before they can expect
the best runs. Rallroad men in every department must
be on the alert every minule of every day in order to
do their part in keeping rolling stock repaired and
running on schedule time.
Three hundred American railroads in an effort lo

HERE'S nothing like a pipeful of tobacco for calm,
unruffled smoking pleasure. A good briar seems to
breed sound, clear thinking. Helps cut down those
nervous, jumpy thoughts that often mean mistakes. And
railroaders working under pressure say that Edgeworth is
the smoke of smokes for their beloved briars!
These men, snapped in the 67th Street Electric Switch
Tower on the Illinois Central Railroad, Chicago, know a
lot about switching. And they say that after trying almost
every other brand of pipe-tobacco they've settled on
Edgeworth-and won't ever switch from it!
Foreman Wasson uses Edgeworth i n cigarettes he
rolls himself. And if we are to take his word for it, he
gets the same full-bodied Burley blend as well in them
as in his pipe.
Try a tin of Edgeworth. We'll gladly send you a generous sample-enough for a few glorious smokes. Or you'll
find i t on sale everywhere, including Commissary Stores
and camps, railroad depots and stations. Two forms: Edaeworth ReadvRubbed, all ready for your pipe; and
Edgeworth Plug Slice, for those who
like t o "rub up" a pipe-load a t a time.
Both come in various sizes, from handy
pocket packages to pound humidor tins.

inows how to handle a LOT:
A GOOD WATCH DESERVES A GOOD CHAIN
0
Y o u live with your
watch-chain, so you know the job it's
up against. Dirt, grime, handlingit meets them all. And it still has to
stay good looking-especially when a
fine ma mil to^^ hangs on the end.
But a Simmons Chain is equal to
the job -and this. Simmons Chain
particularly. It is designed especially
for railroad model No. 5-"Hamilton's
newest contribution to beauty in railroad watches." The number is 30876,
and the price of the chain only, in
yellow gold-filled, $8.25. In green or
white gold, or a combination of the
two, $10.50. The next time you have
your watch inspected, look this chain
over. R. F. Simmons Company, Attlcboro, Mass.

DRY ICE
D
OUBTLESS some people have had the experience of biting into a frozen
dainty or a piece of ice cream and finding i t exceptionally hard and extremely cold. The chances are that it is being kept that way by Dry-Ice.
Dry-Ice is a trade name for solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the
gas that goes u p the chimney and also the gas that bubbles off soda water arid
carbonated drinks. This gas can be liquified under sufficient pressure. When
in the liquified state it can be frozen or converted into snow. This solid state
of carbon dioxide is sold under the trade name of Dry-Ice. I n its final form,
when solid, i t resembles water ice and can be c u t into pieces for handling.
Dry-Ice has fundamental features differing from water ice, as for instance, its
extremely low temperature, minus 109O F. Another important point is the
fact that it evaporates to a dry gas; that is, in melting it passes from a solid
to a gas. It has other peculiar properties, such as being one and a half times
as heavy as air and possessing insulating qualities about twice'that of air. The
latent heat in the solid state is about twice that of water ice; in other words
in melting it absorbs approximately twice as many heat units as water ice
(240 British Thermal Units versus 144).
A t the present time Dry-Ice is used quite extensively in commerce. Probably its greatest field a t present is that of storing, shipping and delivering Ice
Cream. Motor trucks equipped with special bodies for Dry-Ice refrigeration are
in service to a considerable extent. Some day Dry-Ice may take the place of
water ice in refrigerator cars. Experiments are being conducted in that field
of refrigeration. Dry-Ice possesses characteristics which, if controlled, will
doubtless eliminate the frequent re-icing necessary with the present refrigerator cars. I t s ability to pass from a solid to a gaseous state is a highly desirable
attribute, as this property will solve the vexing problem of taking care of the
water and the brine issuing from refrigerator cars.
Dry-Ice is now manufactured in certain localities, but with the rapidly
increasing demand it will doubtless be available at all important centers for
distribution.

dirt!"
Old Timers-here's the aoap you need
on the job. Lava cleans the tougheatlooking pair of hands that ever pulled
a throttle, fired a "Hog," packed a hotbox or "oiled around." Rubs up more
lather in 15 seconds than ordinary
aoap in 60,-a lather that even hard or
cold water can't kill. Million. uae it.
"Good old Lava," they call it. Gets
hands clean! Not juat "murface-clean"
but clean 'way down deep. Quick and
thorough, but as easy on your hand8

from the finest of vegetable oils and
pulverized Italianpumice that'salmost

To take a "run for the hill", and do it
right, is one of the refinements in the
a r t of locomotive handling; but "taking a ruii for the hill' is the severest
task a locomotive can be put to, even
when most skillfully done, and when
clone indifferently, i t is a decidedly
wasteful operation. More engine failures, that i s more actual break-downs
of locoinotives result while "takinq a
run for t h e hill" than from any other
cause. At this time the stress on
every working part of t h e machine is
very great, even under most favorable
conditions and one can imagine t h e
effect when colldition~ a r e U I I ~ ~ V O P
able, a s for instance when the boiler
grimes, thus inevitably destroying cylinder lubrication.
In such cases, it frequently happens
that the train must. after all, be
doubled over the hill anyway, thus
causiiig a further loss of time and fuel.
T h e necessity for "taking a run for
t h e hill" In t h e past is obvious because speed meant power and a s
speed began to drop the danger of
stalling increased, for there was no
extra power to come into play during
this emergency. But The Locomotive
Booster has brought a new factor t o
assist the enginemen in train operation. It is changing the methods of
train handling. This device provides
elnergency power that can be cut in
to carry the train over the top as
train speed drops. T h e additional
power of the Booster may be cut in a t
speeds a s high a s 1 2 miles a n hour,
thus preventing the need of "taking
a run for a hill and often making it
unnecessary to work the locomotive
a t a cut-off lower than 66 per cent
which is the point a t which the
Booster engages.
This means a reduced wear and tear
on the locomotive t h a t is more real
thau apparent, besides effecting a saving in time and fuel which is the aim
of t h e operating department of any
railroad.
Saving Fuel
Fuel economy looms so large in the
railroad man's life that all locomotive
equipment is naturally interpreted in
terms of fuel savings.
In this connection, it is interesring
to know that T h e Locomotive Booster
is a saver of fuel.
The Rooster saves fuel by enabling
the locomotive to haul a higher train
tonnage than would be possible without t h e Booster. T h e Booster will
s t a r t this extra tonnage without taxing the locomotive to its full capacity.
This avoids slipping of t h e main en-
gine which is sc
the fire so that
a r e both lost ; beti~ueuwmcn an r
amount of fuel is needed to r--' ,
t h e fire to a normal conditim
steam making.
The Locomotive Booster also :
fuel because it avoids the nett.-,
of pounding the engine over t b 1
prevents stalling and aroida ' necessity of doubling, all of whim'
a waste of time and fuel.
Not o ~ i l ydoes the boster snr+ '
on t h e locomotive to which Ir !;
tached but by insuring its !r.t-.
movement under all conditions. I.
rectly saves fuel on the l o c v ~ ;-'
of other trains which may. :II. *
same reason, be moved uore pr . ly. This is particularly so n:! . ::
track roads and is true in a ma.:: .
on all roads. By reduciiig s:?" ''
losses the Booster materia!$ :proves fuel records. Operatio: :ords of fuel consumption per Ihr,'...
gross ton miles are noticeahi:. 'proved when locomotIve~are R I ~'
equipped. Records have show '"
the Booster locomotives hau:
tons for the same fuel, thus .I"
ing the fuel cost over a larger II.I-'.
of tonnage units and thereby
ing t h e fuel record.

NTHE great forces united in Chrysler Motors
there is a singleness of purpose which is at
once unique and inspiring-and which explains
the surpassing character of Chrysler Motors
in all price fields, from
the lowest to the highest.
All efforts are bent toward the
same goals of higher efficiency,
better quality, increased volume, lower prices - to render
better public service t o the
i n d i v i d u a l b u y e r o f every
Chrysler Motors product.
Between all units of Chrysler
Motors there is a complete unity.
It is a case of team-work in everything-in research, in engineering, in purchasing, in manufacturing, in financing.
The great group of Chrysler
Motors properties operate as orze
-in purpose as well as in practice- combined under one cen-
F 0 K
B E T T E R
All members of the group share alike the untold
advantages and savings resulting from this unity
of thought and effort. There is a mutual helpfulness, for example, in the fact that there is,
throughout the group, a constant interchange of ideas.
Thus, team-work plays a real and
important part in making and
keeping Chrysler Motors products incomparably ahead - in
performance, in style, in quality,
in economy and in value.
