it begins at 6 o'clock in the morning
and ends at Z O'Clock in the evening.
The ten hours between are not indicat-
ed by the dials, for the obvious reason
that there is no sun above the horizon
during that part of the day.
In the figures here given the artist

tral time. A line between the two dials
indicates where central time ends, go

The western edge of mountain time is

must be sent by way of Kansas City,
because of a discrimination which the
railroad people lay to river competi-
ton.
There is no proportional rate be-

Because OF the distance the rate from
Kansas City to Newton should be less

Per Diem System Results in Creation
of New Kind of Position.

Per Diem System Results in Creation
of New Kind of Position.
A new office has been created on
some eastern roads-that of travelling
car mantle duty of which is to see
that the fullest effect is given to the
per diem system of handling borrowed
cars.
Division officers. superintendent,
train masters. agents and yard mas
tiers have lived so long under the mile
ase plan of handling cars" said a men,
Der of the railway transportation COM
mittee at a recent meeting. that they
have not yet awakened to the fact that
they are paying so much per car per
day and that time is a factor. One sys-
TEN of roads has appointed five travel
ing car men, assigned to different di-
visions, reporting to n of the lead
ing transportation officials. The duties
of these men are to canvass a certain
district and note the delay of cars, for
eign as well as those of their own road,
and they send a letter or telegram
calling attention to cars lightly loaded
or to cars that are delayed. When they
find cars without consigners held be-
yond the car service limit they report
to the car service manager and see
that he keeps them moving according
to the rules of the bureau. They also
see that ears are properly loaded. All
though these men have been in service
but a short time. it is found that In a
week they earned a great deal
than their salaries for the entire
month. 1t is not what they earn 10
from a per diem standpoint, but the
taking care of the business, which has
necessarily been brought about by the
per diem, and the desire of the man
agement is to take care of the business

THOSE sun DIALS.
Description of a Unique Santa Fe De-
vice at Dodge City, Kansas.

Upon the right of way at Dodge City,
where the company changes time"
just east of the station platform, the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
has described in the ground north of
the track two big sun dials. about ff-
teen feet in diameter, that never fail to
attract the attention of travellers, says
the Kansas City Star.
They are side by side. the one on the
EAST marking central time" and the
one on the west mountain time" The
hours are indicated by Roman numer-
ais, as the dial of a clock. and are
formed of white shells set in the black
earth.
The shadow is cast by a bar set at
an angle and sustained by a post. On
the dial of mountain time, the sun day
begins at 5 O'Clock in the morning and
