IT'S BIC BUSINESS
Express Co. Is Biggest Trans
pOrtatiOn Agency-Brayman.
He Proves 1t to Rotarians With
Facts and Figures.

E. e. Brayman, local agent for the
American Express railway company,
told his fellow Rotarians at their
regular luncheon and meeting at noon
today, that the company which he rep
resents is the largest transportation
agency in the world, and then proved
it with such a flow of facts and fig
ures athat not railroad man present
contradicted him.
THE American Railway Express
company has 1926 offices, covering
the country like a blanket; $4,000
employees, 1874 wagons, with horses
and harness to equip them; we have
3,199 motor trucks, most gasoline,
some of them electric; if our horse
drawn wagons were lined up in
single column. they would extend 100
miles-from Kansas City to Wamego;
the four wheeled hand trucks which
we use on railroad station platforms,
if they were linked up one behind the
other, would make a line from KAN
sas City to St. Joseph. Mo, on the
Missouri side of the river, from st.
Joseph to Topeka, and then back to
Kansas City" Brayman said in inn
pressing upon the Rotarians the ire
mendous amount of equipment which
is needed by the company.
Bib Volume of Business.
Last year we did 1924, 100000
worth of business. This represented
100 million shipments. Normally, we
handle two-thirds of million ship
ments a day, $4,000 per hour, more
than 1900 per minute.
I'VE have contracts with $4,000
miles of railway and steamship lines.
New York City is the heart of the
express business. Twenty-four solid
express trains, composed of from six
to fifteen cars each, Ieave New York
City daily.
''In Topeka we have fifty-three en-
INN For
them. We handle approximately 1000
shipments a day into and out of To-
peka. And the shipment may mean
a carload of race horses, or it may
mean a single pay check.
There are $50 shipments, by ex-
press, |of bread from Topeka every
day. During the summer months,
one-third of our business comes from
the Beatrice Creamery company"
In spite of the magnitude of the
business done by the company, Bray
man asserted, "every package which
is shipped by express has a human
element involved. which must be
taken into account. We purchase
transportation wholesale from the
railroad companies and the steamship
lines and we sell it at retail. It is up
TO us to- manage the personal contact
with the shippers. So II IS service
that we have to sell. That's why we
deliver a shipment at your back door
or down in the basement If you pre-
fer it. That's why we.s like lawyers
and doctors. have to keep the affairs
of our clients 1nviolably secret
The program was IN charge of a
division of the program committee of
which Frank Ripley was chairman.

GREAT CHANCE FOR AVIATOR
Walled in Valley May Be Mother
Lode of Gold. ,FN

Redding. Cal, Sept 2S.-A verdant
valley of approximately $40 acres has
been discovered high up in the Salmon
river mountains in SiSkiyou county,
near the Trinity county border. 1t is
almost certain no human feet have
tired the meadow tract. .sa-s-h
Several attempts have been madeS
to reach the valley in the last few
weeks, but all have failed. The mouu-
tain valley is walled in by jagged
granite rocks of such precipitous di-
mansions that no one can scale them
with ordinary appliances. A tiny creek
meanders thru the valley and finds
it's exit in a water fall 500 feet hign.
over a precipice as straight up and
down as a stone wall.
A Trinity county miner found gold
all along the creek. clear up to tbs
precipice that barred his way. This Z
miner. Gordon Abrams, climbed "A
peak and looked over into the valley
thru a spy glass. He saw a grey streak
cutting across it. He believes this Is
quartz ledge, possibly the mother
lode of the gold he found in the
placer digging below. Abrams is al
most certain, he says. mortal man has
never entered the valley and that no
one is likely to enter it Soon.s

CAN'T WORK WIFE OVERTIME
Kansas Court Finds Way To Keep
IMAM From Bossing Wife.

Man From BOSSing Wife.
The Kansas court of industrial re-
lations has found another way to keep
a man from bossing his wife and
making her work overtime. Judge
J. "A. McDermott today gave an un-
Merchants Journal, that when a man
runs store and employs his wife as
a clerk he cannot make her work
longer than the hours regulating the
employment of working girls as fixed
by the welfare department of the
court. a. $50.
Lovewell was seeking the informa-
ton on behalf of Mrs. Ida Griffin, of
Langdon, Kan. Mrs. Griffin had asked
him to get her an answer to the fol-
lowing question:
IF a grocer and wife put their
stock in a company, or cooperative
store and said grocer is hired as man
ager could his wife work as many
hours in the store as he did? They
own about one-third interest in the
store and being in a farming com
munity the store has to stay open late
at night to accommodate the farm
ers''
Judge McDermott told Lovewell
that if the wife was working for her
husband as an employe she would
have to live up to the welfare regula-
lions. Also, he told Lovewell that the
wife could not claim an interest in the
business because her husband owned
an interest
