H. H. BROWN is
ROTARY speak, Err
From the Springfield Leader.


That the Frisco line from Fort
Scott to Kansts City is the heaviest
| traffic line on the Frisco system and
that in normal times sixty trains d
day pass over this line, va : the state
ment made by Superintendent H. H.
Brown OF the Frisco in his address be-
fore the Rotary cub at Fort Scott. He
stated two years ago figures showed
that part of the line extended be-
tween Kansas City and Olathe carried
more tonnage than any single line of
track in the country.
With the assistance Of map Of his
own, construction Mr.. Brown made a
very interesting talk on time cards.
He showed the makings of a card
from the time the superintendent
were called together by the passenger
traffic manager at Springfield until
the card was in working order. The
making of a new time card is very
complex assignment and requires con-
siderable time.
Mr.. Brown used red, blue and black
strings on the board to show the
! movement Of the different class of
trains. Two sides of the board show
ed the mileage while the other two
sides showed the time. When time
card is printed all passing points are
printed in heavy type. To show the
Importance of this item he showed
how one local freight meets seven
trains each day at Paola in the short
time of one hour and Is minutes.
Whenever a new time card is made
a special effort is made to see that
every employe in the train service
gets a copy and signs for same. If
any mistakes are made, brakemn
will generally inform the heads three
or four hours after the card is in eff
feet.
The train dispatcher is very i'm
portant cog in the movement Of trains
1t is he who designates the meeting
points of all trains. Fort Scott has
more dispatchers than any other. point
on the Frisco system. There are three
chief dispatchers at Fort Scott aside
from nine other dispatchers who work
tricks of eight hours each.
1t is the dispatcher or operator VINO
gives the conductor his orders. When
trains are running late it is the dis
patcher who tells the conductor when
and where to meet. The conductors
must sign for such orders, as they
nave charge of the trains. Each con-
ductor is requested to read his orders
to the engineer and get his signature.
Although the conductor has charge of
the train, the engineer shares the re-
sponsibility on meeting orders. Fris-
co passenger trains into Kansas City
are turned over to the Kansas City
Terminal Company at Twenty-ninth
street. Freight trains go into the
Frisco yards.
Mr., Brown explained the use of the
block signals which are in vogue over
the considerable Frisco lines. The
yellow is the caution sign, the red the
danger sign, and the green the clear
sign. Many people get the mistaken
impression that block signals are al
ways safe, but many times it is nee
cessary to use the flagman over such
lines to avoid accidents.

RAIL MEN FAVORABLE
TO PEACE PLAN
Brotherhood Leaders Submit Peace
Proposals at New York Confer
ence, Granting Seniority Rights.


New York, Aug. 18.--It was reveal
ed tonight that proposal which, in
the language Of the labor leaders,
would assure the strikers Of all their
seniority rights unimpaired without
necessitating retreat by the execu-
tives from their stand for protection
Of loyal and new men was accepted
by the rail chiefs when Yesterdays
conference ended. The executives, it
was declared, had fully accepted such
a solution of the seniority question
in behalf of the full membership of
the Association of Railway Executives
whom they represented.
New York, Aug. 18.-The five great
railroad brotherhoods which have
stepped into the nationwide shop
mems strike as mediators, today Of
fered to the roads what they termed
a practical proposition for peace, and
the roads took the proposal under
consideration.
Both Sides Silent.
Neither side would officially dis
close the terms of the proposition. In
some quarters close to the conferees
it was said that acceptance Of the
proposal by the executives would
result in the immediate return of all
strikers to their old jobs with full and
unimpaired seniority and pension
rights, in addition to retention of men
hired since the strike.
The proposition, on the other hand,
was outlined in other quarters as pro-
viding for restoration of strikers as
rapidly as possible with their senior
ity rights to be adjusted ultimately to
the satisfaction of all.
Offer Gentlemen's Agreement.
The proposition in these quarters
was understood to be on the basis Of
a gentlemen's agreement, which those
to the conference said would give due
respect to the rights of the new men,
This agreement, it was said would
assure jobs to both the strikers and
the so-called new men, since railroads
and brotherhood officials have stated
that they could use $50 per cent of
their normal shop craft forces to pre-
pare for the resumption of coal min
ing and the transportation of the
bumper crop.
The gentlemen's agreement, it was
understood, would provide tnat the
question which will arise at the end
of the busy fall season would be
handled as in other years, according to
the usual weeding-out process.
No Surrender of Principle.
The whole plan would mean that
without surrender by either the rail
roads or the shop crafts, the strikers
would not suffer any more in the long
run than would the usual workers
after an industrial struggle of this
kind.
A committee of nine executives APP
pointed to meet the brotherhood men
listened to this proposition, hastiiy>s
summoned general meeting Of the
of the 148 roads which
probably will be held here next We'd
nesday in this city.

Your Health
ENOpthaImiC Goifer
(By DR.. X. II. Bishop

E~Nopthaimic Goiter
Have you eve noticed persons
whose eyes protruded from their
sockets? Ten to one, these persons
had what is known as exopthalmic
goiter.
This is the most serious form of
goiter. The simple form seer in
girls in their teens is accompanied
usually by enlargement of the neck
and an operation on such a goiter is
not fraught with great danger.
However, the operation on a
goiter which is accompanied by rapid
pulse. tremor and great nervousness
is dangerous.
Generally the first symptom no.
ticed in the case of exopthalmic
goiter is a rapid pulse. The heart
beats fast at times, causing the VIC
tim to say theer is p~alpitation, and
~throbbing in the neck. Then the
eyeballs protrude. Enlargement of
the throat gland comes in every case
sooner or later, though not ALWAYS
noticeably. Trembling of the hands
Is an easily noted sign. Persons
with goiter are continually on edge
mentally. They are nervous irrita-
bic, depressed and liable to insom-
mia.
Some good rules to follow are:
Avoid all excitement or irritation.
Get an abundance of rest. Go to
bed early, sleeping long hours and
taking a midday nap. Sleep in a
thoroughly ventilated room. Eat
and drink nothing hat irritates the
nervous system. Eat slowly and
chew thoroughly. Avoid foods difi-
cult to digest. Eat little meat,
Drink plenty of milk. Eat foods
prepared with milk, cream or but
termilk. Avoid meat broths. and
such organs as s~weetbreads, liver
kidney, tripe and plucks. Eat freely
OF cooked fruits and vegetables and
very ripe fruits. Drink fruit Juices
prepared from ripe fruits. Eat eggs
butter, bread, toast, rice and cereals
Drink an abundance of good
water. known to be pure or distilled
or boiled. Use no tobacco.

The oldest student at the Column
woman, Mrs. A. p. Crawford, of
Greensboro. N. c.
She admits her seventy-one years
proudly and makes you wonder
guiltily why you have been associat-
ing infirmity and fireside chairs with
the seventies. After all, one may
be very young at seventy-one.
There's no need of growing old
mentally at least" she assures you
with a smile, reading your thoughts.
"It is intolerance and %stagnation
that make you old. not years.
New viewpoints, new interests,
and study will keep you young.
That's why / am here at the univer-
sity, taking courses that will wake
me up and give me a basis for my
home reading during the winter
months.
I'm taking science, comparative
literature and a course in radical,
conservative and reactionary ten
denotes in p~resent-day morals.
These subjects all interest me in
tensely."
This is not her first taste of col
lege life. Mrs. Crawford was grad
uated from Greensboro College for
Women back in 1869, when the col
lege girl was looked upon as a dan
gerous experiment. She studied q
year at Vassar College when Vassar
was but four years old.
She taught school two years and
then married a Methodist clergy
man. The duties of her home and
parish and the mothering of five
sons kept her pretty busy for the
next quarter of a century, but they
never diminished her love for study.

dated much with young people and
has kept their point Of view. For
that reason she does not berate the
flapper.

l know just what you mean by a
flapper," she admitted. 1.-THE term
Is used so Unfortunately today.
Certainly the girls of this gener-
alton are reaching out toward a
broader, freer life, and there is
nothing to condemn in that.
Perhaps the modern girls do not
study so hard as those of the older
generation did, but l believe they
study more intelligently. There is
less excuse today for uninteresting
n uninterested girls than ever be-
fore because knowledge has been
made so accessible, and advantages
are within the reach Of all"
Mrs. Crawford does not claim any
particular credit for her youthful
appearance, which she says Is mere
ly the result of plenty Of outdoor
exercise and obedience to the fund
amental laws of hygiene.
She has an erect carriage, quick,
easy walk, n an unusual amount
of endurance. She makes seventy
one seem like the prime of life.
