Railway Traffic Manager Adopts
New Business Method.

HOUSTON, Tex, April % Pl.--
A new profession known as public
guesser" has been created here by
Carl B. Frazier, traffic manager OF
the Houston Electric Company.
Each day Frazier stations men at
street corners to check the number
of persons who get on and off the
street cars. He then charts the fig
ures, striking an average on which
he attempts to distribute the cars in
accordance with traffic density. Some
times the public outguesses him.
MY job is like matching coins with
the public" he said. II have to out
guess them by having cars where 1
think tine passengers are going to be.
/ try to figure out when the public
will come downtown and when it
will go home. Sometimes I miss It,
and then lot of people have TO wait
for cars"
