CONDUCTOR PLAYS
SANTA FROM TRAIN
Rock Island EmpIoye Delights
Children Along His
Route.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PRATT, Kan, December 14-Santa
Claus travels by rail instead OF sleigh
from here to Tucumcari N. Mex.
Every year. 1. M. Barton, one of the
oldest conductors on the Rock Island
Railroad, selects day shortly before
Christmas for appearing before his pas
sengers in the cheerful garb. of old st.
Nicholas instead of the severely blue
uniform he ordinarily wears.
He plays Santa's role not for the
passengers, but for the children vino
live In the towns and on the farms that
break the monotony of the pra1ries
along the railroad through Southwest
ern Kansas, Western Oklahoma, North
ern Texas and Eastern New Mexico.
Slips of paper are dropped by the
conductor from the car window early
in December. The notes are addressed
to all children who love Santa Claus,
telling them on what day they can ex-
pect to see this remarkable character
himself on the rear platform.
The word spreads to all homes in
the towns and to the farms on both
sides of the railroad. On the appointed
day, train No. l is met by eager young
sters. The children gather not only at
the stations where the fast flyer makes
regular stops. but also along the right
of-way in the country. They know
Santa Claus will be on the lookout for
them, whether the train is standing or
moving
From the rear platform he throws
boxes filled with candy, fruits and nuts
and the children joyfully pick up the
gifts.
Barton himself provides the tasty
things for delighting the children's
hearts and palates. Occasionally he
throws off the train top instrusted
to him for delivery to a certain child
whose place of waiting for Santa Claus
Is arranged in advance
The conductor decided to become
Santa Claus after he had observed how
happy he made children to whom he
threw magazines and comiS sections of
newspapers left by passengers on the
train.
Barton has been employed by the
Rock Island for Al years. His home
is in Pratt.

todays market Opening higher, they
reacted only partially when money,
which had renewed at per cent was
advanced to per cent. Trading be-
came dull on the decline and in the
last hour the list rallied leaving off not
far from the best of the day. 1t was
convincing demonstration of the i'm
proved technical position.
The turnover was considerably larger
than at any time this week. Moreover
it was greater when the market was ad-
vancing than when it was declining.
Prominent in the last hour was Beth
lehem Steel Taken in larger blocks of
from 5000 to 5000 shares, it pushed
steadily forward to a new high for the
year Talk of an carly restoration to a
dividend basis was heard again, but that
was probably not the only motive for
the buying. Copper stocks were higher
and Victor Talking Machine after an
erratic early movement closed strong.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Nov. PIP
Soap dust explosions are announced
as a new industrial hazard by the
experiment station of the United
States bureau of mines here.
The explosive dust is generated
during the manufacture Of soap dusts
and soar flakes. The growing use
Of dust and flake soaps is given rs
the reason for tho entry OF this new
menace into factories manufacturing
these articles. Ii Is announced By the
department Of commerce that fccr.
tain types OF soap dust when sus-
pended in air arc more violently cX-
p~losive than most dusts encountered
In industry"
The nature OF sosn compounds, the
department says. might lead one

couldn't bear TO lose a sutton. and
resorted to any measures 10 hang
on 20 one. What a stupid Larry was
to be taken in by her, thought Byrd,
scornfully.
It was the first time that Byrd
had ever seen a big league anne
She became wildly excited.
She jumped 10 her feet every sec
ond. She yelled and shouted as
Justify as the noiSiest baseball fan.
People turned in her direction and
smiled.
Byrd was W that they were
looking at her.
Her enthusiasm carried others
along with her. Even the phlegmatic
Chef.
Looks as IL Chef had finally
walked Byrd up" said India. laEily 70
Larry. Seems funny, doesn't it,
A sly, slightly derisive smile turned
her deeply chrmined lips.
Larry had been paying almost no
attention to Byrd. But now he
watched her. Why, the little devil,
she had walked up! She looked ador-
able, too, with her arms waving
wildly in the air, her hair blown into
a golden aura Of frowsiness her
checks shining. with two yermilion
suns burning l nthe middle of them.
She was standing on her chair,
waving her hat wildly. glecfully.
Larry caught Byrd's eye. Some
thing like q sudden twinEe of jeal-
ousy passed into his expression
leaving his ewes green and glinting.
Then Byrd decided she must have
been mistaken.
The game was over. and Chef was
plotting Byrd through the crowd
before Larry could move in her d.
rection. Byrd saw him start toward
her. and saw the resentment in his
eyes. lie looked as il he were a little

Byrd had never heard Larry refuse
an invitation for Saturday night, nor
an invitation to kill a bottle of any

She was glad. She was thinking
cxultantly that she and Larry would
spend the evening together with no
