BY JOE MITCHELL

The day II. f. Flickinger broke
his back he started to imagine
things. It kept him in the hospital
for two years, but one is tempted
to believe he didn't mind it much,
because now. eight years later, he
has something to show for it-a
miniature railroad built with in
credible faithfulness to fine detail
and to realistic representation.
Lying in a hospital was bore
some, and so he spent his long
hours thinking up ideas for his
railroad, drawing rough plans that
he revised again and again to suit
his taste.
Built To Scale
His taste, by the way, is most
particular where a railroad is con-
cerned. Not one light pole must
be out Of place or out OF pro-
portion; everything must be ex-
actly right, so that If seen through
a telescope or through field
glasses, it would look like a real,
genuine. bona fide railroad, guar
anteed or your money back"
Such a railroad he has built.
His project required six years OF
actual construction, and required
also. such patience and skill as
might cause a person of less per-
severance to call an armistice and
90 fishing. Flickinger kept at 1t.
A craftsman by day. he became a
great railroad builder by night.
Living alone. he could concentrate
all the harder, with no one to dis
turb him. only the wind rustling
through the trees that guard his
home at American lake.
Fascinated by Train
His home, incidentally, is MOTH
ing more than a big-red box car
given to him by the Milwaukee
railroad. which has provided him
another outlet for his intense in
terest in railroads.
las a boy in Fort Wayne, Ind,
I lived in the shadow of the old
roundhouse of the Nickle Plate
line" he said simply.
Since childhood. he has marvelled
at the drivewheels of locomotives
utterly fascinated by the way they
operate and the power they EN-
body.
His railroad line has everything
found in one of life-siZe. II has
lakes and ravines. with bridges to
span them. 1t has trees and noun
tains and countrysides. 1t ever
has bill-boards. one of them in

Business Firm Wins Judgment
Against Transfers Union

falling $4,000 listed by the COM
panv as among its losses.
The strike grew out of the dis
missal of three platform men en-
gagged in loading trailers. The
union charged that the health Of
the men was endangered by the
requirement to stack cases of milk
six high. Meyer ruled that while
the loading constituted a hard
ship" it did not entail jeopardy
to life or health"

under way. army engineers revised
plans and the cost was placed up

 The American people, especially he youth of his country, have no conception of the danger to the United States in the present world ErisiS," he said in an interview at Pity hospital yesterday.

l suggest that you get started as
soon as you can.
c. B.: What is the matter with
my head, it gets very tight and
all behind my ears just burns and
hurts me something terrible and 1
would like for you to tell me what
is wrong and what to do.
Ans: You are in need of medi-
cal attention. Go to- a head spe-
cialist or to your city clinic right
away and have your head exam
ined. 1t is very unwise to neglect
your health get the condition
cleared up before it develops into
something dangerous.
F. T. A.: My position is almost
unbearable and l wish to know if
it would be possible for me to rem
edy it.
Ans: A change of locations
would do wonders for you al
so get you a good paying job. Your
problem should not be taken so SER
iOusly for there is a decided change
for the better in store for you this
year.
R. L.: My question is this. Is
mother right or just what should l
do?
Ans: You must do as mother
tells you as long as you are in
her home. She feels that the boy
you have been going with four
years isn't up to your standard ..
neither has he proven himself by.
ever getting regular employment.
Give him up for a while you
too will be much happier when you
become adapted to doing without
him.
]. B.: Must | marry the man l
have been engaged to over a year?
Ans: No you don't love
him. Marriage is a serious affair,
and it shouldn't be considered I'M
less you are confident that you
have met someone who you could
love a lifetime and get along with,
. too.

J. C.. B.: Give me an answer in
this paper this month. Is my hus-
band telling the truth about MAX
ing his will and should I move
from where 1 am now or would it
cause confusion?
Ans: During all the years you
and your husband have been sepa-
rated he has never found anyone
that he cared as much for as he
does you. He is truthful about
making his will in your favor.
Move if you like the people
you live with shouldn't mind.
l. w. l.: l am not married but
I have a baby and since the baby
came I don't seem to be satisfied
at home with my parents. Should
I borrow the money and leave as
I have in mind?
Ans: Stay where you are and
be thankful that you have a roof
over your head. Your parents
aren't going to give their consent
to your running around to all hours
of the night you have a baby
and you must make up your
mind to take care of it. Get you
a good job and make some nice
friends your next step is to
find a husband who will accept
you and the child.
L. o. H.: I am keeping COM
pany with a man and I want to
know if he means what he says
about getting married.
Ans: He's mighty fond of you
but he will have to get DIVORCE
before he could marry you. l re-
greet to say it, but l do not be-
lieve that you will ever be his
wife.
S.B.: 1t reveals in my mind to
start a business for myself and /
wish to know if I should make
my plans along this line.
Ans: By all means yes. Your
present plans are good and they
could be worked out so that you
could go in business for yourself
