Brought Up as Manufacturer.
Herbert Leo was brought up in the
business of manufacturing cider vine
gar. His father, now retired, spent
ficers of the company now include
Albert Leo, president; Alex Leo, vice
president, and Guy P. Greenwald, Sec
rotary and treasurer.
In the preparation of a thesis for
his degree, Herbert Leo imported the
first machine for producing the elu-
sive and mysterious ultra violet ray,
into the United States, from Paris.
After he had conclusively deter
mined that fruit juices could not be
sterilized and preserved by treatment
with the ray, the machine was turned
over to a professor of the university,
who commenced work on the problem
of sterilizing and purifying water with
it. Because water is transparent and
fruit juices are not, the process of
steriliza ton of water with the machine
was successfully developed, and has
been proven to be practicable in water
plants thruout the country.
And this is one of the many indus
trial romances which Topeka is writ
ing in industrial and commercial rec
ords, day after day-the romance of
the pomace which caused the health
authorities to make trouble for the
company, and which now is the foun-
dation of a huge industry.

of great things when he commenced
to manufacture flivvers. My dreams
of pectin are no less vast Leo says.

HARDING ENDORSES CAMPAIGN

The American Railway association
publishes the following statement is
sued by President Warren G. Harding
relative to the four months campaign
for safety at highway crossings:
The complete success of such an
effort would mean the saving of thou
sands of lives. the prevention of many
more thousands OF injuries and. Incl
dentally, the prevention of a great
property loss. OF course, the ideal
solution is elimination of grade cross
ings. to which all possible energy and
means should be increasingly directed.
But the extent of our country and its
railroad mileage make apparent that
not for many years of utmost effort
could this be effected. There should
be constant pressure for elimination
of these danger spots, particularly in
the more pOpulOus areas: pending
which there is need for just the kind
of preventive effort that your asso-

MAKING OF PULLMAN COMFORT
Not the Cow, Sow and Hen" But the
Horse, Goose and Sheep"

Not the Cow, Sow and Hem But the
Horse, Goose and Sheep"
Horses. geese and sheep combine to
make slumber peaceful on a Pullman
car. The horses supply the hair for
the mattress, geese the feathers for
the pillows and sheep the wool for
the blankets.
South American horses grow the
longest tails and SO to South America
the Pullman company goes for the
hair that fills the mattress on which
the traveller reclines. 1t is the highest
priced mattress stuffing in the world.
Thousands of steeds are annually
shorn of their browning glory to fur
nish this material. When it is con-
sidered that each mattress contains
i Y pounds of hair. and that the
usual life Of mattress is but IL
months, it becomes apparent how
many horses must be deSpoiled to fur
nish constant supply.
The hair goes to the Pullman car
works in Chicago in tightly twisted
ropes that have been chemically
treated. But several operations are
necessary before the completed mat
tresS energies from the upholstery de-
partment. The first consists of the
untwisting of the hair. and a special
machine is used for this purpose.
With the hair reasonably straight it
goes to the carding machine which
thoroly combs it. Then workers pick
and sort the material, particular at
tention being paid to seeing that no
humps have escaped the teeth of the
machines.
Now comes the process of filling the
mattress, which is done by machinery
also. The proper quantity of hair is
weighed and then the ticking is auto
matically filled and the ends securely
sewn. The tufting is the final opera
ton.
There was a time when different
sized mattresses were used in lower
and upper berths, but in the modern
steel sleepers the size is identical
Each pillow contains II pounds of
white goose feathers, which as in the
case of the mattress hair, ar the best
that can be purchased.
Each blanket is made of the finest
wool and weighs eight pounds. Be
cause of the varying climates and
temperatures that Pullman passengers
pass thru. it is essential to have a
closely woven blanket. This also is
made necessary by. the innumera BILE
washings to which the blankets are
subjected.
The end of every trip made by a
Pullman sleeping car finds a thoro
renovation of its equipment. Mat
tresses and pillows are given sun baths
as we'll as a thoro fumigation, no
necessary sanitary treatment being
overlooked.

TRAFFIC SHOWS AN INCREASE
