On the right of the store room is a platform on which is stored heavy re- pair parts for locomotives, such as wheels, cross heads, eccentrics, cylin- der heads, grates, etc., which do not need to he under cover and which are exposed to the weather. A loading track runs between the building and the platform, which makes it con- venient for the loading of this bulky material. To the back of the platform men- tioned above, is an acre and a half used for the storage of track mate- rials, and a gasoline and torpedo shed. The items of track material are also numerous and include picks, shovels, scythes, signal material, switch stands, woven and barb wlre. The barrel rack holds steel barrels of gasoline and paints, coal oil, long time burner oil, and car oil. Approxi- mately 21,500 gallons of gasoline are used monthly; 30,000 gallons of coal oil; 7,000 gallons of long time burner oil (used in signals which burn con- tinuously), and 30,000 gallons of car oil. The fuses, torpedos and matches are housed in a small shed on the platform, and an estimate shows that 250 gross of torpedos and 250 gross of fuses are used per month. Waste. for packing, is another big item, with two car loads consunled monthly, and although the item of flags, used on engines may seem a small one, 2,000 of them are used each month. iual uer I y, vv . u., DL.

From what source other than taxes does this come? It comes from the taxpayers and the railroads are pretty prominent tax- payers. And the Missouri highways were built by bond issues of $60,000,- 000 and $75,000,000 to be retired by gasoline tax. But suppose something happened to the gasoline tax. Did you ever stop to think that it is your property and mine that will have to pay? We cannot escape it. "Then again, the Frisco has spent about $3,000,000 for grade separations in the state and about $160,000 for special devices-bells, wigwag signals, crossing gates, etc.-to protect high- way crossings. We now pay $250,000 a year for the maintenance of these devices and the wages of crossing watchmen and this amount is con- stantly increasing. It seems to me that this is really a direct tax on the railroad for the highway.

HEATER CARS +

To properly protect perishables-such as fruits and vegetables in transit during the winter, there must be pro- vision made for the temporary conversion of refrigerator cars to heater cars, or other cars having permanent heater apparatus must be used. Much work is being done along the lines of development of heaters and various types using live steam or employing alcohol, kerosene, coal, or charcoal as fuel; some heat storage systems have also been devised. One system of heating used with some success derives its heat from steam suppIied by the locomotive; a steam duct leading from the locomotive passes under each car to a connection with piping in the interior. A thermostat automatically shuts off the steam when the interior reaches a predetermined temperature, and prevents the car from becoming overheated. Another steam heating system takes advantage of the heat absorbing and retentive properties of porous terra cotta. Thus various means are constantly be- ing employed with a view toward greater efficiency and economy.

BUILDE tS OF FREIGHT CARS OF ALL KINDS MOUNT VERNON, ILLINOIS Here is an interestin.g little story. And it is true. It was aftcr dinner. We were reminiscing. John suddenly pulled out his watch, glanced at it and went to the telephone. His wife set down her coffee cup and leaned toward one of the guests. "Did you see that lovely old Hamilton of John's ? " she whispered. "Don't tell him, please, but we're going to give him a new Hamilton this Christmas." "A great idea! How long has he had that watch ? " "IIis father gave it to him in 1915. He'll always remember that date exactly. You somehow do-\+hen it comcs to things like that." tfff h poor1 record ! As a railroad man (no doubt carrying a llarnilton that lias served even longcr) you'll agree to that ! Yet today's IIamiltonn are more modem, of course, and just as accurate. If somc one in your Farnilv hasn't a fine watch, we invitc you-we urgc ycm-topivehim (orher) oneof tho new Ilarnil ton-owntrh 40 Iovcly, sn previous, they will always remember this Chrirtmn~,1930.
