ALASKA TRIP FOR BOYS
Detroit Man Has Plan To Take One
 Hundred Lads On Excursion


 George E. Buchanan, wealthy Detroit bachelor, whose hobby is assisting boys to make a trip to Alaska, announces that in July, 1925, he will take 100 of them to Alaska if that number, or less, qualify for the journey.
 In 1923 Mir. Buchanan took 46 boys through the Canadian Pacific Rockies to Vancouver, Skagway, Lake Bennett, White Horse Rapids and Miles Canyon on the Yukon river and Lake. Atlin, British Columbia, and the boys were en- thusiastic about the attractions of North America's Land of the Midnight Sun. ''
 MT. Buchanan's plan is this: Each boy earns $125, thereby learning ,busi- ness methods and thrift; the boys par ents advance $125, and Mir. Buchanan loans the boy $125, which he can pay back when he reaches manhood, or be- fore, if he 50 desires. Each $125 re- turned is banked to help another boy see Alaska, a trip to which MT. Buch- anan considers liberal education.
 In Detroit the boys sell ash baskets, coal, coke, pencils, etc. Elsewhere they can earn their money in any legitimate way. The entire $375 is placed in each boys hands and be buys his ticket, makes his reservations, buys $25 worth of New York drafts, has to identify him- self at the banks in Alaska, and in short not only has wonderful trip, but also gets great lesson in thrift and the rudiments of a sound business educa- tion. Any boy anywhere, who actually earns his one-third and whose parents advance another third, may qualify for the Alaska trip.

NO FRnLs OF eos
And Forerunner Of Pullman Cur Wa
 An Amusing MaIkeshffk


 In the early eos the night expresw Co Washington proceeded by the old Gam den 6 Amboy route, with long HsEs riage from Manhattan at the start. The train we took at Amboy was de luxs in the novelty of it's, accommodations for it boasted diner and sleeper. The diner of 1862 was a baggage car, re- tired from heavy work on account of long service in the transportation of trunks, and bare as to its interior ex- cept that it was furnished in the mid dle with an oblong counter around the four sides of which the patrons ate while seated on high stools, as in some railway station restaurants of the pres ent day.
 From the inside of the oblong the viands were served by negro walters in white jackets. If memory does not be- tray me, the bill of fare of the diner on the Washington. express of three score years ago consisted chiefly of oyster stew, pie, crullers and coffee.
 The sleeping ear, regarded by all pas sengers as the crowning achievement of railway enterprise in the way of pro- vision for sumptuous travel, presented on entrance the appearance of an ordi- nary day coach. That, indeed, is what it really was, although it carried the germ of the subsequent Pullman.
