Billy Whiskers By Francis Trego Montgomery

T just heard the boys talking about
 it, said Stubby, when Billy asked
 him, you rem member, about how he
 knew that Dick and Tom and Harry
 were going in the race.
 If they are going, that will give
 US a dandy chance to go with
 them" said B;lly we can stand
 around near, and just when they are
 about to start we can run and jump
 in as the airplanes leave the ground
 and the people on the ground can't
 stop us when we are once in the
 chairs. Besides, the boys can't take
 their hands off the steering wheels to
 throw us out" which thought so
 tickled Billy that he began to jump and frisk around, and act as if he
 suddenly had gone crazy.
 Seeing Billy so gay affected Stubby
 and Button the same way, and they,
 too, began to run around like mad
 and turn som ersaults one after the other, as they had been taught to do when travelling with the circus. They thought they were unobserVed until
 they heard cheering and the clapping
 of hands and looking up they saw
 several peaple had been watching
 them from the grandstand. An officer from out West who was
 away on a fur1ough turned to Captain Standish and said:
 Captain, what will you take for
 those performing animals? I would give a good deal to own them" q am sorry can't oblige you, Colonel. but they belong to my chill dren and 1t would break their hearts to part with then1,"
 Little did the Captain know that within a very short time they were going to sail away in the air from the
 children. possibly never to return Bright and early on the morning airplanes on their long and perilous trip from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific. to compete for the large prize ,f $50, 900, the people began to ar i've at the place from which they were to fly.
 There were six men in all who had uttered the race. and each was dress d and standing by his craft In Its own particular hangar waiting for l the signal to start.
 Tom Dick and Harry. each In ms respective hangar, stood waiting like the others for the signal. All of the men were dressed very much alike, even to what they wore on their heads. They all had a helm et-like headgear with goggles, and the whole thing looked like a divers helmet. These were actual I ly necessary to protect their eyes and ears from the fast-rushing cur rents of air, and specks of dirt. For as tiny a thing as a grain Of dust might work great havoc, for driver could not possibly let go his steering gear to get 1t out, ana With out eyes, where would he be? r,Tonorrow's story will tell of the start of the thrilling race.

New Way to Cook PruneS-Have you ever tried cooking prunes in the oven? After they have started to boil while cooking them on top of stove, cover and finish cooking them in the oven. This not only swe1ls the prunes to twice their size, but makes them taste much better.

SHADES OF FORMER STRIKE

Switch shanty gossip mainly has to
do with the shopmen's strike, and the
drift of talk indicates a similarity
between the strike on the Santa Fe
now and the strike of eighteen years
ago. which also involved the shop
men
Then as now. the old timers say,
The Santa Fe. gradually reorganized
its forces with men who stayed. strik-
ers who returned to work as new en-
ployes. and new men.
Everywhere, then as now, there
was a nucleus of dependable workers
which grew steadily toward nor
Eialcy.
: In course of time the former shop
mems strike faded out, the strikers
having secured jobs on other railroads
or in other Industries Many stu
live in Topeka
There have been other strikes on
the Santa Fe, but none has been won
That fact often is mentioned in the
switch shanty gossip.
Early in the present strike the
Santa Fe ISSUED occasional bulletins
about train srvice, etc, but the prac-
ttce soon was discontinued. A state
ment Wednesday by Vice President
A. G. Wells that conditions now are
as good as they were before the trou-
BILE was the first strike informatio-,
that has come officially. from the
Santa Fe for several days.
People who travel and ship
freight know that our passenger
trains generally are arriving and de
parting on time and that freight is
forwarded and received with the
usual promptness." said a Santa Fe
official this morning. THAT is the
best answer to the propaganda that
equipment is deteriorating; the best
answer TO the claims of the strikers
that they are making Roadway. So
far as Santa Fe service to the public
is concerned. the strike is over"
Strikers Find Work.
It would be idle to say that trade in
strike but the damage likely won't
amount to nearly as much as one
might be led to conclude from the
fact that 1000 or more men quit
work Idle men spend less than
workers. of courses but it is pointed
out that the 1000 men who took the
places OF strikers now are buying nor
mally, while before the strike many
of them were idle, and spending only
for necessities. Merchants in some
parts of the city have lost trade, while
merchants in other parts have gained.
A ccod many strikers have found
work in and around Topeka and that
accounts for the small attendance Of
men at the Ripley park meetings. it is
said A striker said today that Of the
men who left the Santa Fe shops, July
/. not TO exceed 200 had remained in
idleness.
1t is sad that Individual strikers
who have conferred with Santa Fe
shop officials have reported to their
fellows that there is no doubt Vice
President Wells meant what he said
in his notice that the men now in the
shops would be protected in their
seniority, and that the strikers. if they
~eturn to work. VIII go back as new
employees.
