SOUTHERN RAILROAD To
REWARD ENGINEERS

Atlanta, July 1O.-Southern Railway
engineers who have made exceptional
ly good records in keeping their loco
motives in good condition are to be
honored by having their names paint
ed on the panels of their cabs. In an
nouncing this new plan, Vice President
and General Manager E. H. Coapma1
states that it.has been adopted as a
mark of Southern Railways apprecia-
ton of the interest which it's engineers
have taken in the condition and ap-
pearance of their locomotives. South
ern Railway practice is, as far as pos
sible, to allow each regular engineer
to have his individual locomotive. The
engineers feel a great personal pride
in the appearance of their locomotives
and many of them have been beauti-
fully decorated in which the COMPANY
has cooperated with the men. AS
result of the attractive appearance OF
Sothern Railway locomotives, they
have attracted wide spread attention
and much favorable comment. Under
the new arrangement each enginee'
who has run an individual locomotive
for a stated number of miles, rated
according to the class of the engine,
without going into the shop for general
overhauling, will have his name placed
on the cab panel The arrangement
was effective July 1, but mileage made
during the past two years by en-
gineers running individual locomotives
will be applied.

corn and oats were used In making al
coholic liquors. But the farmers
