NAMING PULLMAN CARS
BY Frederic J. Haski,

tho cars arose naturally soon after
the Pullman's invention was intro
duccd The flrst Pullman sleepers
were remodeled day coaches already
known by numbers. When Pullman
began to build his own cars. letters
of the alphabet were used to dishn-
guish the new sleepers from the num-
bered day coaches. But letters ran
out too quickly and numbers were
unsatisfactory because of the need FOR
readily Distinguishing the Pullman
cars. The only thing TO do was to
name the cars and this was done.
Engines Formerly Christened.
Using names for such a purpose was
not altogether an innovation. Back
In 1926 the first real passenger rail-
way carriage had been given the name
Experiment Early types of loco
motives bore individual names such
"a Novelty, Rocket, and Old lronsides.
and by the time the Pullman car was
being developed engines were regular
ly named. most frequently for promi-
nent men.
The Pullman Company says: Car a

IL was called the Pioneer. IL was the
first car built from top TO bottom by
George NJ. Pullman and IL cost more

or flowers. But the company found
that railroads often wanted cars named
after towns along their lines. and this
made II impossible for an exact system
to be followed. In the first all-Pullman
train running between Chicago and
New York. tho sleepers were named
after countries and the dining cars
after celebrated French chefs-Savarin.

Thousands Of Names Needed.
Though the officials who name the
cars have all the fields of literature

raphy to search for names. christen-

families of 10 sometimes write To the
papers for help In naming the new

The officials OF the company are as

and remember. Perhaps curiosity
aroused by name may lead people &c

GOVERNOR MoRRIsON's APPEAL

Governor Morrison's appeal to the
farmers to plant more of the food
crops and prepare for the raising of
stock, that more milk and butter and
meat may be raised, is timely. He
warns our farmers that the boil Vice.
vii is coming, and that we might as
well prepare for the worst.
The boil weevil has changed the
old order of farming further south
into that of raising bread and meat.
in many sections and has benefited
those sections. Every farmer should
first raise his living, and after this
his money crop.
Notwithstanding the advent Of the
boil weevil the south seems to be
raising sufficient cotton to take care
of all demands upon the staple, and
we'll may the question be asked, if
it had not been for the boil weevil,
what would have been the size of
the crop and what would the farm
eers have received for it? In the
ypresent state of world trade eight
million bales seem to be too many,
and we have surplus to carry over.
Let us prepare for the boil weevil,
raise our living and be Independent
of the money crops.

GOVERNOR WANTS
COOPERATION FOR
BETTER GARDENS
(By Max Abernethy.)

Raleigh, Feb. 7.-Governor Nor
|rison's decision to mail his latest
proclamation direct to the morning
papers of the State instead of hav-
ing it released through the Raleigh
in the usual way has
raised the question whether his ex-
'cellency is viewing with alarm" the
capitol city newspapermen.
The proclamation is an appeal for
cooperation in the governors better
gardens and more pigs and cows
program for North Carolina. Admit
tedly it was a most difficult piece
Eof news to handle and it may be
that because of this fact the COVER
nor thought it best to send the proc
|lamation direct to the morning pa
|pers. No explanation is forthcoming
at the governors office, presided over
today by his private secretary. Gov
|ernor Morrison is in New York City
this week looking after State bonds
which have been sold.
The daily times., 1922-02-07


No copies of the proclamation are
available at the governors office for
afternoon dailies If they fail to get it
through the mails they can't be sup
piled.
This action raises the question as
to whether all documents for public
consumption emanating from the
governors Office in the future will be
handled as today's proclamation. It
cannot be learned whether this
course will be followed or not. 1t
| is presumed Governor Morrison will
set things straight when he returns
to the capitol at the end Of the week.
Appointment of the governors
commission to confer with him re-
garding the reorganization of the
county government law is being look
ed forward to with interest at the
capitol.
| Governor Morrission thinks the
present law is too antiquated and he
will do his best to have it changed
when the 1923 Legislature gathers.
Just what changes he will recon-
mend does not appear but it is known
that one phase of county government
the governor is displeased with is
the handling Of funds. A better sys-
tenn of audit will be strongly recon-
imended, it is said.
