WASHINGTON - WD Did
you ever watch the red ribbon
of a freight train wind along
green hillside, each of its scores
of cars bearing the name of a
different railroad, and wonder
how they all got back to their
home roads? How does a rail-
road keep account of its wand
ering freight cars?
Union Pacific - Boston and
Maine - Atchison, Topeka d
Santa Fe-Atlantic Coast Line
- Chicago, Milwaukee q St.
Paul-the cars go clicking by
long after the chuffing of the
engine has died away in the dis
lance. They are returned to
their place of origin, either
empty or loaded, under the d.
rection of the Association OF
American Railroads.
Big. iovial Warren c. Kendall,
chairman of the AAR's Car
Service Division, can tell you
all about it, in terms that are
understandable to persons other
than 25-year railroad veterans,
although he himself falls within
that classification. Every one Of
sthe 1000, 900 freight cars in the
country is in the AAR's Equip
rlent Register, listed by size,
Shape, number and other char
acteristics. Each freight car
has its own individuality"
Kendall says.
All the country's Glass l rail-
roads has signed car service
agreement with the AAR set
ting up rules for handling Of
freight cars on foreign" roads.
A car belonging to an adjacent
road must be sent home when
it is unloaded, whether there is
a return load available or not,
and if empty it has TO 60 by the
nearest junction. If the car be-
longs to a distant road, it should
be loaded in the general direc-
ton of "home." A road may not
send its own cars to foreign"
duty if other cars are available.
An incentive TO comply with
these provisions is the charge of
a dollar per car railroad has
to pay for every day railroad
owned equipment is on its
tracks, in use or idle.
Cars not owned by railroads
rate different treatment. Fifty
private concerns such as the Pa
cific Fruit Express, Fruit Grow
ers Express Merchants Dis
patch Inc, and packers like
Cudahy and Armour own some
10000 refrigerator cars. Oil

Millions of Freight Cars
UntongIed by RI Wizards

companies and oil car lines own
about $4,000 tank cars. The
railroads pay for the use of
these cars on a mileage basis and
they are routed in accordance
with the owners instructions.
How do railroads know the To-
cation of their straying freight
cars?
After cars are swi C n e i
through a junction, they go out
over different railroad from
that which brought them in. AS
the new train is being made up
the yardmaster analyses it, list
ing each car by number, destina-
ton, the road it has just left and
the one on which it will con-
tinue its journey. Gondola cars,
stock cars, flat cars, refrigerator.
tank and box cars-all are list
ed on form which is sent to the
accountants office of the out
going road. II the train will
move on the tracks of the New
York Central, for example, the
list is sent to that lines clearing
office in Buffalo.
PEG FOR EACH LINE
In that office is set of wall
pegs, one for every railroad in
the country. The long list of
freight cars is cut into strips,
one car to a strip, and these are
hooked to the proper pegs. Then
a clerk takes down the strips
and copies the notations into a
book. A new volume is started
for each road every month.
Thus does the New York Cen
trail know exactly how many
freight cars are on its tracks,
where they are, and where they
are going. Owners of all the
foreign" cars are appraised of
the carbon copies of the slips.
The records of short roads are
usually correct up TO SO hours
of actual movement, Kendall
says. On the longer lines, the
period ranges from three to four
days.
Kendall thinks freight car
movements are one of the most
fascinating things about rail-
road operation. According to
AAR estimates, he says, if the
roads cooperate 83 per cent
with ear service division rules,
the needs of the country's ship
pers will be met satisfactorily.

THE SAME MEASURE

According to tthe measure of the rule which God hath distrib- uted.'
 There lived long ago a shoe maker who had the habit of speak ing hardly of his neighbors who did not think quite as he did a. bout religion. The old pastor of the parish in which the shoemak- CT lived felt that he must give him a lesson.
 So he sent for the shoemaker one morning, and said to him, Master, take my measure for a pair of boots."
 With pleasure, your Rever- ence,"
 The clergyman took off his boots and the shoemaker measured his foot from toe to heel, and over instep noted all down in his note book, and then prepared to leave the room. But the pastor said to him. My son also requires a pair of boots"
 will make them with pleasure, your never HuGG. 1du idhe lAAg young mans measure?"
 Tt is not necessary said tthe pastor, the lad is fourteen, but you can make my boots and his from the same last"
 You Reverence, that will never do" said the shoemaker, with a smile of surprise.
 T tell you, Sir, to make my sons boots on the same last"
 No, your Reverence, I cannot do it."
 It must be-on the same last. !"
 But your Reverence, it is not possible, if the boots are to fit, :" said the shoemaker thinking to himself that the old pastors wits were leaving him.
 An, then, master shoemaker, % said the clergyman, "eyery pair of boots must be made on their own last, if they are to fit, and yet you think that God Is to form all Christians according to your own last, of the same measure and growth in religion as yourself! That will not do either"

ters London, England. that this. in the future will be the most practical and will make for furth- CT progress of the work.
 With the change of administra- ton. it is also expected that the Divisional headquarters. which has been located in Wrangell for many years. will of necessity be moved to Juneau. That will mean the transfer of Che Divisional Com mander to the Capital City and Brigadier Gillingham is of the opinion that the transfer will take place sometime during this year. However, full provision will be made for the maintenance of the work here in Wrangell before such a move is made the Briga- dier said.
 The Salvation Army for the past three years has maintained rooms in the Decker building at Juneau for their war service work and arrangements are now being made to take over the entire building making it the Divisional Headquarters for Alaska and also a social service center for Salva- ton Army work in Juneau

HOW ABOUT WRANGELL
 CABINETS?

A new kind of paint, made of crushed industrial garnets and new resin that won't burn, has been produced for tthe U. S. Navy.
 The paint is used to cover steel decks, to render them non-slip- pery regardless of wet or oil, and immune to the tremendous heat Of bomb, shell and torpedo flashes which set ordinary paint to burn ing furiously.
 The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company produced the new mater ial, under the name of Dektred. 1t can be put on with a uoWel, or like ordinary paint by spraying. The garnets come from North creek. New York. The paint IS used on weather and flight decks especially, gun emplacements, and in quarters, passageways, landings and stairways.
 The thickness is about 10 times that of ordinary paint, which spreads from one to three thou sandths of an inch thick. The mi CTOSCOplc BdfneIS sIdnu d Ol u9iAAAAS Q eight of two-and-a-half tons per square inch.
 In a scrubbing test, 100000 scrubs by a brush wore away the fibers of 10 brushes and left the garnet paint unchanged. e Goodyear scientists think h great durability is due to the fact that the garnet points sticking out above the resin which binds them holds all the weight without let ting soles get down to the binder.
 This resin bonds to steel. It can also be used on wood, concretes and other types of surfaces. It re- 8ists oil, grease, salt, sulphur, soaT and other cleansers.

MUNZ IN NEAR .CRACk-UP ON
 FIELD AT NOME

Bill Munz, popular owner of Munz Air Service of this city, proved highly fortunate Wednes- day afternoon, when undertaking a landing on the municipal air port, minus the use of one of the planes skis.
 On his take-off from Solo mon, MT. Munz reports, one of the tie-straps holding the ski. came loose, and when the plane settled in mid-air, the wind velocity evi- dently caused the ski to break free, unknown to the pilot at the time.
 Arriving in Nome, MT. Munz, while still in the air, Was advised of his predicament, and he kept the plane in the air, until a crash landing crew of military forces could be summoned. On their ar rival, MT Munz edged his plane to the ground in a crash landing
 Spectators on the field at the time of the landing, regard MT. Munz's feat of maneuverability at the stick as one truly remark able in every sense of the word. ,"
 His handling of the plane DroV ed so clever, a near-perfect land ing was accomplished, and result ed in no injury to himself and but slight damage to the plane.
 MT. Munz carried no passen- gers at the time, only freight and express from the point of take off.
 Of such ability are Alaska bush pilots made.
