Just as soon as it gets cold,'' said Mr..
Black today. the people begin to get out
of the big eastern cities so fast that you
can't see them on account of the dust. If
they have some cold storms along the

Mr.. Black was asked whether or not
the result OF the collision of the Califor-
mia limited and Chicago limited at Fran
coma, Ariz.. would have any deleterious
Not a particle. said Mr.. Black. ''Peo-
pie realize that so long. as people make
mistakes there are liable to be railroad
wrecks. You read of them every day. 1t
is only when a road had several wrecks
that it is getting careless that the public

getting SO much business IS simply be

Arrangements are being made to s1oan''
the California limited, to the club women
to be held in Los Angeles from May / to
s. Two three days, between April p
and April q. will be designated by the
ed exclusively to women delegates to this
important convention. A special rate of
City. ST. Joseph and Topeka has been an
nounced for the excursion. The tickets
will be limited to June IS.
Speaking of this unique plan Mr.. Black
says: we propose this arrangement to
the women's clubs of the various states,
and if they see fit to accept our offer we
will make the trip a pleasant one for
them. If they don't care to go in a body
on the limited they can, of course, take
any of trains they please. 1 believe,
however, that the arrangement will ap-
peal to the women as being good one
as it Will give them the exclusive use of
the train for the trip
The same special rate as for the WO-
mems Federated clubs convention have
been announced for the knights of
Pythias meeting in San Francisco on
August u to A. and the Mystic Shrine
gathering in Los Angeles next June
