l I RIVER DIVISION AGAIN

SCORES There are few better illustrations

of the cooperatioll of the employes i n the club movement than that displayed by members of the Frisco Employes' Clubs on the River divi- don. Last year they entered whole- heartedly into the program of selling tickets for the big excursion trains whlch were run into St. Louis, and a s a result, approxin~ately 15,104 people b o k advantage of the low rates offereb.

Their success was repeated this year, when on September 17, three excursion trains from Wilson, Ark., Kennett, Caruthersville and Cape Gir- ardeau, Ma., and intermediate points, hauled 3,527 persons to St. Louis. where they enjoyed the many attrac- tions of that city, and particularly the baseball game between t h e Car- dinals and the Glants. The baseball management had deslgnated the day as Dizzy Dean Day.

J. S. McMillan is to be heartily congratulated upon the success of the excursions on September 17, and praise and credit also go to the ern- ployes under his jurisdiction, whose untiring efforts contributed much to the success of the plans.

After entering the 37th Street gate we came to the Travel and Transport Building, which, of course, was of paramount interest to all railroaders. That was a t the extreme south end. Here were various exhibits from the

Crowds milled through the B&O air-conditioned trail1 and sat in the seats aud (of course, removed their shoes for a moment) the B&O folks said that it was the first time some of the 'visitors had ever been in a train -let alone that palatial air-cooled home on wheels. Nearly 2,000,000 people have gone through.

What a break for the engineer! And what a crowd to view it-a constant mllllng stream of humanity, eager to know what the Inslde looked like. Of course, the coaches are all wooden ones, but the steel from which the engine Is made, is attracting the attention of railroad men. And say, did you no-

An tmmense stage, built out to the water, has been erected. and in the foreground, near the grandstand, is a rallroad track. The lighting effect, the announcers who 'it a t either side of the huge stage, the music and the pageant itself leaves one spell- bound, for the progress of transportation is unfolded to the spectator in the space of an hour or so. First comes the Indian, then the white settlers, the first boat, the horse and carriage, then the first old automobile. the first locomotive-with the ships paesing before the grandstand far back stage, and the queer little loco- motives passing on the track before the grandstand. Important person- ages of the times a re introduced, men who impersonate the early builders af the railroads. Cradnally the little railroad coach evolves into a modern one. And during the pageant comes the airplane-the first one, and this mode of travel Is followed up to modern design.

As a closing finale, a gigantic modern locomotive of the New York Central glides under steam across the track and stands a t one side, the airplane in back, and the motor car to the left, while a chorus of mixed voices close the pageant with an in- sgiring song.

Aside from the progress of transportation, brought vividly to eye, this

enormous spectacle is run off with a smoothness, almost incomprehensible.

Only a single railroad track is used, yet promptly on the dot one locomotive after another rolls across the stage, smoothly noiselessly, and the visitor leaves this spectacle with a feeling that one of the greatest things a t the Fair has been seen and appreciated.

This show was a t 7:00 p. m. When we came out the grounds were ablaze with color! Buildings which had seemed gaudy in daytime, were mel- lowed in the play of huge spotlights and concealed Iightlng effects. Lights - color - lights - color - milling throngs, buses hauling people from here to there-boats plylng the lagoon -gondolas with boys imported from Venice to guide them. Oh, tor a glimpse of this spectacle from the air!

And then we thought of the Sky Ride! Let's go!

We were whisked way up the toyer and little cars cross the lagoon on a cable. It had much the sensation of an airplane ride and the spectacle from that height was startling. One got an idea of the magnificence of the Fair-Its color-lighting-its compact- ness. And in two and a half mlnutes we were across and down the elevator and out again into the grounds. It

seemed like ten minutes-but the picture imprinted in memory for those few minutes will last a lifetime.

Now, what! It's funny how you get hungry every now and then, and also -those feet that haven't walked further tnan the corner drug store for a long time!

Somebody told us not to see Rip- ley's exhibit, that the freaks would give us nightmares. All you have to do to get business fn a concession is to tell somebody it is wlerd. And so, we went. It wasn't bad a t all. Ex- cept for the crowds which jammed and pushed and shoved and stepped on your toes, i t was great fun.

And then we got serious for a moment and went Into the building which houses that gorgeous picture called The Pantheon de la Guerre, depicting in life size. world famous figures of the World War, the various allied groups-famous battle flelds, detailed in this painting, which is in panorama effect in a round buiIding, the canvass is 462 feet in length and 45 feet high. It was sent from Paris for the Fair and will be returned when the Fair is over. To my mind It is the best of the serious things.

And then we found ourselves milling through the narrow Streets of Paris. Here one finds a great deal of atmosphere, some clever dancers and

A A i r Conditioning on Frisco Lines

BIJ F. G. B A K E R , Electrical Eqsphteer

M ARK TWAIN once said that "everyone talks about the weather, but no one does any-

thing about it". The Frisco management has decided to do something about it, to the extent of offering its patrons ideal weather conditions in passenger cars.

W e think of air conditioning a s something very new. Who can re- member when we did not attempt to "condition" the air in winter months by use of various types of heaters. Air conditioning as we now speak of It, means controlled air conditions in summer as well a s winter.

What hotel, theatre o r railroad conld hope to exist without providing heating facilities for its patrons in winter? Now that the mechanism is available, what railroad can attract or hold passenger business, unless i t modernizes i ts equipment to give i ts patrons conditioned air in summer a s well a s winter?

The management of the FrIsco Lines has anticipated the need, and i s already modernizing Its equipment. It is the purpose of this article t o tell you something of the program that is being carried out in this connection.

Last year a n a i r cooling equipment was built and applied a t the Spring- field West Shop. I t was applied to dining car 641, and was successful enough in i ts operation to encourage the management to authorize further development.

This year a n improved cooling de- vice was developed and applied to four cafe-lounge cars of the 1500 series, At the moment this is written a fifth lounge car is leaving the shop, and equipment is partially built for two more cars of the same class.

In addition, authority has been granted to rebuild four other cafe- lounge cars with a i r cooling equipment. This will make a fleet of eIeven cafe-lounge cars, Ane enough to operate on any railroad.

It might appear that only those patrons who dine and 'Younge" will receive the benefit of a i r conditioned cars. But such is not the case. The Frisco management has not over- looked the coach and chair car passenger. Instructions have been issued to build air conditioning apparatus for a fleet of coaches and chair cars, that will be available for next summer. In fact, one coach has been so

equipped and w!ll be ready for test runs in a few days.

Now a word about the nrethod of air conditioning a car for summer weather. There are four require- ments, a s follows:

1. The windows m u s t be kept closed a n d proper a m o u n t of f resh a i r m u s t be filtered before d r a w n in- to the car .

2. The tempera ture of a i r mus t be lowered, o r the a i r chilled.

3. The humidiry mus t be controlled. I n o ther words ~ i r mus t be dried. 31 a i r is d a m p t h e passenger mill h a r e a "sticky" uncomfortable feellng. even t h o u a h a i r tempera ture h a s been cowered.

4. The chilled, d r y ~ i r . mus t be properly distr ibuted and circu- la ted by fans .

There a re two general schemes of cooling air. One is a mechanical re- frigerating system using a motor driven compressor unit and B, re- frigerating gas, to supply the cooling medium for cooling the air which is passed through chilled radiators.

The second general plan is to use ice a s a cooling medium, to supply ice water for the purpose of washing the a i r in a n ice water spray. Or. the ice water may be pumped through a radiator and the warm a i r passed over the radiator by a Pan, which results in chilling the air.

The Frisco fleet of cars uses Ice a s a coaling medium instead of the mechanical system. The firet of the Frisco air conditioned cars did not have as desirable air distributing

Cars Furnish Proper Temperature in Both Winter and Summer

features a s the later cars, as each ca t is showing some improvement over those which have preceded it.

The equipment is practically automatic in i ts operation. The control switches a r e thrown "on". This s tar ts the plant in operation and the temperature is quickly lowered to the desired point where i t Is automatic- ally malntained by means of a thermostat switch, which controls the ac- tion of the ice water pump motors.

The circulating fans a re in operation constantly when the car is in service, to insure even circulation of air. About twenty to twenty-five per cent of the air supply is being constantly replenished with fresh air drawn through a filter. The windows being kept closed, muffle the tra'ln noises, and exclude all outside dust.

And right here, let me tell you hay fever victims that you can ride a Firsco a i r cooled car through a field of rag weed without a sneeze.

With doors and windows closed. the fans keep the air In the car under slight pressure, which causes the air to leak ont through the windows, instead of In through the windows. This seals dust out of the cars.

About humidity control. When the air contains a large amount of water vapor, we say the humidity is high. When the air does not contain much moisture, i t is much like a blotter; i t is capable of absorbing water.

In summer time it is important that the humldity be of lorn or medium value. so that it will have tend. ency to absorb the perspiration from one's body and thus promote comfort. In the winter the humidity should be high so the moisture in the air will have tendency to seal the pores of the skin and assist in retaining body heat.

The air conditioning apparatus applied to railway cars, decreases the humidity of air in summer months. by causing the moisture In the air to be condensed when It strikes the chilled surfaces of the cooling radiator or the spray chambers. This dries the air a t the same time that it chills it.

This dry, cool air is what promotes that feeling of comfort and physical well bein!: that you experience in a properly air conditioned room or car.

A "TALL" FISH STORY Ray Smith, of Monett, Mo., a FrIgco

The moccasln was caught and dissected a few minutes later and the perch, still alive, was returned to the water, swimming off a s if nothing had happened. The perch measured 235 inches.

ENGINEER SNELL RETIRED

Son Takes Father's Place a t

Throttle of Engine

By J . MARTIN SMITH

0 N THE same day that he celebrated his 70th birthday, Harrison Mullins Snell, veter-

an Frisco engineer, of Birmingham, Ala.. laid down his goggles and gloves, August 31, and left the cab of his beloved engine, after complet- ing 35 years of faithful service.

Many of Snell's friends were present a s he left his engine after the "last run", and their lusty cheers echoed against the Frisco roundhouse and other buildings in the yard.

Forty-one years ago 3lr. Snell, who has the keen eye and Ilvely step of a man many years his junior, got a job on the Central of Georgia. Six years later he came to Birmingham, and joined the Frisco family. After a year or so in the roundho~rse. Snell stepped into the cab of a n englne and has been pulling throttles ever since.

Although he went through eeveral wrecks in his long and varied career, no one was ever killed by one of hls engines. As for himself, the most serious injury he ever suffered was experienced when he fell from his engine while inspecting it.

A native of Georgia, Snell served 10 years on the Columbus, Ga., police force, before obeying the impulse to become a railroad man. And now, af ter turning 70, he plans to retire on his pension and "enjoy life for 30 years more".

An interesting feature o t Snell's retirement was the fact that H. R. Snell, his son, took the throttle of his dad's engine a s the latter left the cab, and headed for the run. Snell's son has had 28 years' experience in aallroadlng.

GREETINGS FROM THE WEST Mr. and Mrs. George Slelghtholm,

addressed the editor or The Frisco Magazirw recently, asking that through the coIurnns of the Magazine they be remembered to their old friends. Mr. Slelghtholm is a retired switchman.

They are living, a t lhIs time, a t 830 Portsmouth Court. Mission Beach, Calif., and write that they are enjoy- Ing wonderlully cool weather there and sleeping under blankets every night.

They would be deIlghte4 to receive letters from their Frisco friends.

HONORED Services of the Buainess Men's

Bible Class of Ivanhoe Temple, Kan- sas City, No., on Sunday, August 27, were dedicated to W. H. Churchill, eighty-year-old member of the class and retired Frisco concluctor. The I-ailroad division of the Bible class. under the general direction of J. N. Salter, was in charge of the program, and Dr. Edmnnd J. Kulp, pastor of the Grand Avenue Temple, was the speaker. An atmosphere of the railroad yards and terminals was provid- ed in the stage setting, and the WDAF Humming Birds quartet, in the garb of Pullman porters, contributed to the musical features.

Mr. Salter said that Mr. Churchill was chosen as the guest of honor, bemuse his record represented the ldeaE of all railroad men-continuous service unmarred by the blemish of demerits for any cause. .

Mr. Churchill was born in Ripley County, Indiana. on October 20, 1853. H e entered railroad service in 1870 a t the age of seventeen, on the Cin- cinnati division of the Ohio and Mis- sissippi Railroad. R e came to the old Memphis Route in 1888, having had eighteen years' experience in the freight and passenger and transportation departments.

A sandwich here-and we must move on. Never will we be a'ble to say we have seen everything a t the Pair-something beckons us on. Next to the Oriental Village, much the same a s the Streets of Paris, but we wan- dered around, and after awhile with both eyes and feet feeIing the strain of the day we caught a bus to the nearest entrance and sought our weary way lo the hotel.

W e slept until 10. After breakfast we again went to the 37th Street entrance ahd visited the Firestone exhibit and saw tires made from the first operation-then we saw the Sin- clair Prehistoric exhibit and the building where a r e housed the general exhibits. One might wander through the latter for days, but we chose to give the diamond mlne a closer inspection.

T h e Hall of Religion attracted thousands. Here on display was the Ancient Chalice of Antioch, and other exhibits such as the Lord's Supper done in Mother of Pearl, this from a private collection. The various religious denominations are here represented and the peal of the organ throughout the 'building gave one a restful feeling.

h short way from the Hall of Re- ligion is Byrd's original ship. W e didn't inspect the ship, but it is on display and can be seen from the walk. The northern dogs which they brought back from the expedition attracted my attention. They must have thought the atmosphere of Chicago and their native habitat vastly different.

The Hall of Science took up three hours of our time and i t was practically incomprehensible In so short a time. There we found the glass man, and exhibits of dentists, X-ray exhibits, chemical experiments, in fact so impressive was each and every exhibit in that building, that books could be written instead of para- graphs. Here in this butlding are housed ithe prize exhibits of the Fair. We were glad we had reserved the three hours to wander wlthin its \vrlls, but when we left we had that desire to return again.

The Italian Pavillion came next, then the walk over Science Bridge, then on to the Hall of States and the U. S. Building. The outstanding s ta te exhibits included Florida, Missouri and Michigan. The U. S. Building proved of unusual interest a s well, with exhibits ranging from agricul-

Thousands of fish help to stock the streams of Missouri each year a s the result of the hatchery maintained a t Chesapeake, .on Highway No. 38, between Republic and Mount Vernon, in Lawrence County, by the Missouri Game and Fish Department. The Chesapeake Hatchery is on one of the oldest settled sites in the Ozarks, the large spring which feeds the series of lakes was known to pioneers of a wide territory. In 1927 the s tate bought the 100-acre farm on which the spring was situated. There a r e now three large lakes, ranging from two and one-half to six and one-half acres in size, and two small ones. In the largest lake are raised line side (large mouth) bass and black (small mouth) bass. Blue gill, a perch family fish a re raised in the second largest lake and in the third lake a re crappie.

A "THANK YOU" LETTER T o J . A. Moran, superi~tenderit North-

ern division, from Kalherim C. Fergqr- son, Kansas City, Knrls.:

"For several years I have been a regular weekaend passenger on the Frisco traln between Kansas City and Pabla. During this time I have been impressed with the courteous treatment shown the passengers by the employes.

"One conductor, however, excels in this respect. I have seen him repeatedly go through the train when i t reaches Kansas City to see if the ladies who are traveling alone a re properly taken care of, assisting them with their coats and making them feel a t home on his train. I heard someone on the train cal l him Mr. Connell or Connelly. I recently saw him on my trip to Kansas City. November 20, on No. 118, and again on the same train a short time later.

"I wonder if such little courtesies do not create a feeling toward business that is beneficlal in these trying times?"

NOTE: The conductor referred to is Frank T. Conley.

INDIAN FAIR A SUCCESS The Tenth Annual Exhibition of the

Oklahoma State Indian Fair Assocla- tion was held a t Craterville Park, Okla., on August 24-26 and was extensively ad- vertised through the Frisco Publicity Department a t the stattons of Kansas City, St. Louis, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Several patrons made the trip from St. Louis and Springfield, with more from nearby stations, via h i s c o Lines.

The Fair was a s colorful a s in pre- ceding years, with the high apots being the Indian dances held before the lighted grandstand a t nlght. This was the first year that the Fair has been given without the guiding spirit of Frank Rush, under whose direction the first Fair was held. Mr. Rush died last year and his son and wife carried the Fair to a successful conclusion this year.

The Indians came from fa r and near and pitched their wigwams on the grounds of Craterville Park. Here they remained throughout the Fair, and for those not familiar with the Indian, his way of living and his mannerisms, a trip to this Fair would prove most interesting.

It was learned from a teacher in one of the Indian schools that the aim of the Indian girl Is marriage and they seldom marry white men, but usually men from their own tribes. They a re quick to learn a t school and will sit and draw the entire day if left alone.

The Indian has a n affectionate nature and is also very generous, the girls often dividing thelr clothes and

jewelry with one another. There does not seem to be any contention among them, the younger children never cry and all of them tend toward being unusually religious. The girls are very backward, but both boys and girls are easy to control in school. The' girls often marry nt the age of 13 years, and the younger generation do not practice the old religion.

One of the hlgh Ilghts of the Fair was on Sunday morning when ,Mrs. Rush Bnd her son presented the In- dians with a 600 pound buffalo. The buffalo was divfded into steaks, roasts, etc., and there was a religlous ceremony before each Indian was given his or her portion. Religious songs were sung, in both the Indian language and in the English language, and promises from the Bible referring to God's care of his children were read, and the Indians were reminded to keep His commandments. The buffalo meat was then divided and soon pots and kettles were boiling with the fresh meat and many steaks were hung over poles to dry in the sun.

The event is one of the most interesting held on Frisco Lines and next year i t is hoped that a number of Boy Scout troops will make the trip in the interest of studying Indian life.

SPEAKING OF THE FAIR (Corrtirrucd froiri Pnge 9)

The trip told most briefly in this article was done in a day and a half,

and while I know much was neglected and I hope to return for another week- end, I feel I have "done" the Fair. Add to this story your own experi- ences and preserve in memory for future telling the story of a great Exposi,tion, for it may be a long time before we have another.

AIR CONDITIONING (Corztirtucd fronr Page 5)

These cooling equipment9 perform a double function on some of the lounge cars. The thermostat switch, which operates the cold control in summer, regulates the operatlon of the steam heat valve in winter, to maintain an even temperature in the car during the heating season.

The Frisco a i r conditioning equipment has been developed through the collaboration of the electrical and car department forces, under direction of superintendent of motive power. The finish and beauty of the 1500 class lounge cars will stand compari- son with cars of any other road.

The management of Frisco Lines is to be congratulated in its effort to provide the travelers through Frisco Land with all the comforts of home and some comforts that are not available a t home.

"Cars cool a s a cave" seems to be the Frisco motto for the summer of 1934. Tell your friends about these cars and invite them to ride in clean- liness and comfort.

THIS PIPE TOBAGGO MAKES HIT WITH RAllROAO MEN

The Famous Edgeworth Flavor wins 35 out of 46 Pipe Smokers in this Terminal

I N railroad yards, round houses, terminals, shops-everywhere that

railroad men gather you'll find a pipe the popular smoke, and Edgeworth the favorite brand of smoking tobacco. In the Passenger Car Department of a certain western terminal, for example, there were 46 pipe smokers among 56 employes. And 35 of these 46 pipe smokers were Edgeworth fans. Edgeworth is indeed a "hit" with railroad men.

With railroad men a pipe is the poplar smoke

The reason lies in the Edgeworth flavor. No other tobacco has that indi- vidual mild flavor that belongs to Edgeworth alone. It comes from an expert blend of the choicest pipe to- baccos money can buy.

But no one can really describe flavor in words. You must actually smoke Edgeworth to know. Why not intro- duce yourself today, and join that great fraternity of railroad men who know the genuine satisfaction of a good pipe and Edgeworth. Dealers all over the world have it. And you can get Edgeworth anywhere in all sizes from the 15# pocket package to the pound humidor tin. Made and guar- anteed by Larus & Bro. Co., Tobac- conists since 1877, Richmond, Va.
