railroad, a 19 mile line in western
Kansas.

freight agent, train dispatcher, mast
er, conductor, fireman, and claim
agent, section foreman, road brake
man.
James Powel, a retired Rock Is
land engineer, operates the locomo

load of wheat to move on the rail
road he calls Platz on the phone.

Platz makes a note of it and when
business is slack does a repair job.

400 cars of grain in less than six
months.
BOOST MONTE CARLO
AS DIVORCE CENTRE
MONTE CARLO, Feb. 25. (JP)—The
rising tide of American divorce cases
threatens to invade the Principality
of Monaco, hitherto, sacred to the
goddess of Chance.
French correspondents of Ameri
can divorce lawyers have been sug
gesting Monaco for years. Absolute
secrecy, minimum fees, the record
for short services and a dozen other
advantages have been advanced by
lawyers with offices in Monaco; who
also claim they are legal.
But investigation of the Monte
Carlo and Monaco registers fail to
reveal that any American divorce has
been granted there since the war.
Now two test cases are being con
sidered to determine the validity of
a Monaco divorce.
The halibut schooner Attu, Captain
Peter Wald, arrived in port with ap
proximately 4,000 pounds of fish.

with the aid of a six penny diction
ary. Arthur Henderson grew up in
an iron foundry, Both of these men
have sons wiio have taken degrees
