 TRAIN CHAR KAISER
 Bustling, busy-as-a-bee ship. builder Henry Kaiser maintainE two office employees in San Fran cisco to get railroad accommodate tons for hmi and his staff. One of them recently got call from Kaiser's secretary, Miss Edna Knuth.
 "Mr. Kaiser wants three single bedrooms on the next streamliner East. He also wants them adjoining and in the middle of the car. VIII you get them please"
 "The next streamliner is on Sunday" replied Fred Miller, one of the transportation men, "and this is Friday. don't see how I can possibly get them"
 Just call the Southern Pa- cifio and say that MT. Kaiser wants them," Miss Knuth re- piled. "Say that he must have them"
 Kaiser is one of the biggest shippers on the West Coast and the Southern Pacific is rot un- aware of that. So after consid- erable commotion. 1t finally side tracked some other people who had reservations and got ship mogul Kaiser his three connect ing bedrooms on the streamllner to Chicago. Miller called back Miss Knuth to report. He also reported that he had three bed- rooms out of Chicago on the Com modore Vanderbilt for New York.
 "Oh," replied Miss Knuth, MT. Kaiser won't ride on the Commodore Vanderbilt. He will only ride on the Twentieth Gen. tury. You'll have to change those rOOms.'
 Miller groaned, but got the New York Central on the phone. The Commodore Vanderbilt is one of the New York c l,raps crack trains, leaving Chicago at 2:30 p. m. But the Twentieth Century. leaves at 3:3O, and arrives at the some time. However, the New York Central somehow or other managed to find three connecting bedrooms on the Twentieth Gen. tury and Miller finally reported this victory to Kaiser's office. YELLOW CAR KAISER
 'sHave you also got reServa. tiOns from Chicago to Washing tOn?" Miss Knuth next requeSt< cd. MT. Kaiser doesn't know before he gets to Chicago whether he will 90 to New York or straight to Washington. So you'll need three rooms on the Capitol Limited"
 Miller then wangled three bed- rooms from the Baltimore and Ohio on the Capitol Limited to Washington, and reminded Miss Knuth to be sure to have Kaiser cancel whichever he did not use as soon as he got to Chicago. But, Miss Knuth remonstrated. Kaiser didn't like to cancel Pull man reservations himself in war time, so 1t was arranged that he was to telephone all the way back from Chicago to San Fran- cisco and that Miller was then to phone Chicago to cancel them.
 Kaiser,s secretary then added the final straw.
 By the way" she said, have you got MT. Kaiser's stream liner reservations in the yellow cars? Mir. Kaiser won't ride in anything except the yellow cars"
 Again Miller groaned. He point ed out that he had already put the Southern Pacific to great trouble and he couldn't bother them further. But Kaiser's sec. retary was adamant. Her chief must ride sn the yellow cars. What Kaiser had in mind was that gray Pullmans from the Overland Liri1- tied sometimes are hooked on to the Yellow streamliner, and he didn't want 10 ride in these gray cars.
 So the southern Pacific finally
