"pupis" can be graphically shown the operation of this wonderful system Tn minutest detail.
 Behind are charts illustrating change of time table. and black boards show ing tabulated systems with rules go- verning changes in all kinds of trains, and orders for trains by telegraph.
 The instruction carries with it its board of examiners to instruct em- ployes at every division as to the standard runs for operating trains.
 Between station where there arc yard crews the car runs as an extra stopping at each station to examine and instruct railroad telegraph oper- ators.
 As the lectures are open to all, it provides brskemen with instructions for conductors. and firemen with ins-' functions for engineers, far in advance of their regular examinations for pro- lection.
 The car is now on the coast divis- ion and has since last October covered the entire system. It will be from more weeks on the trip, completing it about August 3lst, the last three weeks being spent in San Francisco. The car IS run as an extra, stopping at each station to examine and ins- truct railroad telegraph operators and at yard terminals the school sessions are held in the forenoon and after noon.
 This work is entirely in addition to the ordinary examination given em- ployees before they enter the service, while the pupils chief interest is ic the fact tn at it makes the men more competent through advanced know ledge. Yet it has a great interest for the men also Tn that it enables those desirous of increasing their knowledge and bettering themselves to gain ca pacity and therefore stand better chance to gain in position.

 The Hartman Lines have spent several million dollars for improved block signal safety systems in the last few years, and indeed the Union Pa cifc and Southern Pacific have more mileage protected by the latest i'm proved block systems than any other three large railway systems of the country combined With these de- vices comes the necessity for increased education of the man, and the Com pany through travelling school is en- deavoring to help them gain the ne cessary instruction.
 The car is in charge of w. Nichols, who is lecturer for the department of instruction for dIspatchers. With him are associated w. H. Pitts of Oakland and J. s. Moore of Fresno, who ins- truct the engineers.
 The instruction is organized as care fully as a college course. The car has a completely equipped school room, in which the lecturers hold forth to yard men and all employees who come in contact with tine operation of trains.

No woman who understands the

Fels-Naptha is more than

You don't boil the clothes; you

All the hard labor you used to do
yourself TO loosen the dirt, is done
by Fcls-Naptha soap.
