All these men are some of the livest wires on the dfrislon, and we can now look lor some increases in business a t the stations where they now a r e located.

Mrs. Lon Burd, who in addition t o being the wffe of our worthy platform foreman, also is file clerk in the su- perintendent's office, is on a two months' vacation, which she 1s enjoy- ing canning peaches, putting up blackberries, etc. Hope we will all feel the effects of the vacation later.

The recently aavertlsed 250 m f l ~ auto race on the Kansas City Speetl- way was called at 120 laps or 1.50 miles, on account of a poor track. Did the Speedway officials return part of the entrance 4ee to the spec. tators? No, they did not. but they did know that the track was unsafe days before they accepted the money, didn't they? Can the railroad sell n man a ticket for 250 miles and get him just 150 miles and keep thp money and get away with it? No, they cannot, but this Is just another case to show how cheap railroad transportation is.

We are all proud of "little" Dan: he was voted the best all-romd scout :ind given the title a s "Honor Camper" (Illring the second period of the geu- era1 camp, which c l o ~ e d last Saturday a t Camp Andrews.

Each period of the general camps the scouts seriously vote to select :in honor camper, and in their voting strive to select the scout who best exemgllfles the camp spirit. To re- ceive this reward is the highest dis- tinction that can be obtained by a boy a t the general camps and a goal to- ward which every real scout strives. Scouts who attain this honor have their names burned into the big cedar slab whlch hangs above the fireplace a t Camp Andrews. In addition these scouts' pictures wlll be framed and hung in the messhall as a lasting tribute to their fine work.
