Book On History
Of Santa Fe To
Be Published Soon
The fabulous history of the
Santa Fe, which runs through
Sweetwater, represents one of
the most colorful pioneering
feats in the history of America.
The story of that great achieve-
ment, Santa Fe: The Railroad
that Built an Empire, will bo
published on Decemlier 17, by
Random House.
James Marshall, the author, is
Pacific Coast correspondent fur
Collier’s. He has written, in
breezy, anecdotal style, about
the hazards and pitfalls of build-
ing a railroad through what was
then a wilderness, over moun-
tains, deserts and seemingly im-
passable canyons, with the con-
comitant dangers of attacks by
Indians, buffaloes and playful
cowboys who shot out the head-
lights of locomotives. He has
written, too, about the men
whose names are inextricably
linked with the development of
the Southwest: Cyrus K. Holli-
day, father of the Santa Fe, Fred
Harvey, creator of the Harvey
system of eating houses, But
Masterson, the famous marshal
of roaring Dodge City, Kit Car
son, Jesse James, the railroad
giants of the Southwest and
many others.
The titanic battle- between ri-
val railroad companies, the engi
net-ring feats that were perform-
ed, the problems of finance, the
tremendous excitement of laying
rails from Chicago to Los An-
geles and Kan Francisco, through
Oklahoma and Texas, to the
Grand Canyon and Petrified For-
est and the scenic wonders of
New Mexico, are all described in
this fascinating, lusty hook
From what we can gather, you
don't have to be a railroad en
thusiast to enjoy it — it’s a page
out of America's past.

Burglars Shouldn't
Make Too Much Noise
NEW YORK — (UP) — Bur
glars usually arc pretty quiet
fellows. But four bandits pulled
off a job in New York with a
loud bang.
The four men stood on a street
corner clanging a dozen new ash
cans. They shouted above the
din—
‘Step up ladies and gentb-
men. Buy a brand new garbage
I ail cheap."
When police Sergeant Ed-
ward Ledden hoard the dam
or. he took the boys in for dis-
turbing the peace. But he booked
them on another charge. The
owner of a nearby hardware
store reported that hey had Just
been robbed of 12 brand-new
garbage cans.

Ring In "Dime" Store
DENVER (UP) — You .remem-
ber the old song ”1 found a mil-
lion dollar baby in the five and
ten cent store.”
Well, a Denver attorney did-
n’t find a million-ilollar baby
but he did find something migh-
ty valuable.
While walking through the
downtown Denver “dime store’’
he picked up what he thought
was a piece of inexpensive cos-
tume jewelry. Later, jesting with
a jeweler friend, he asked,
“What will you give me for it?"
The jeweler promptly answered,
"Oh, $1,000.”
* When the man recovered from
the shock, he did some investi-
gating and found that the piece
of jewelry was a $1,000 diamond
ring lost liy a Denver woman
who had passed through the
store.

Would Trade Out
With U. S. Navy
BOSTON (UP) — Sherman
Whipple the Third is darned if
he’ll pay the Navy 75 cents for
meal ticket number 705040 — at
least not before the Navy pays
him what it owes him.
Whipple — a Boston sailor
who recently was discharged
received this letter from the bu-
reau of naval personnel:
“Dear Sir: There Is enclosed
a copy of the bureau’s letter of
October 23rd, 1945. addressed to
your former commanding officer
with requested Information from
you concerning meal ticket No
795040. Unless you can identi-
fy the person who secured the
excess meal, it is requested you
forward a money order — pay-
able to the treasurer of the Unit-
ed States—in the amount of 75
cents to refund the government
for this excess meal, as it can-
not be held liable for this excess
cost."
Whipple says he never remem-
be red issuing the ticket What's
more, he says, the Navy never
paid him for his train ticket
from Seattle, Wash., to Norman.
Okla.
"I would gladly pay the 75c
when I get the train fare," says
Whipple, “if I get it."
Some Auto Accidents
Are Saved By Another
GREENWICH, Conn., (UP) —
An automobile accident is no
happy affair. But a Greenwich
truck driver was mighty glad a
car smashed into him
Abe Tunick was driving along
when a car crashed Into his
truck. The impact sent the truck
spinning — toward a 20-foot em-
bankment. Just as Tunick,
thought the truck would go over, |
the car caught up to the truck 1
and hit it again. This tiqie the
bumpers locked, preventing the
truck from taking u nose dive
The driver of the automobile j
says he had nothing to do with
the second lucky bump — he had
tainted after the first impact
Too Polite
INDIANAPOLIS (UP) —
There’s such a thing as being too
|K)lite, it seems.
Two street car passengers at
Indianapolis wore arguing polite-
ly about which one would take
a vacant seat. Each kept in-
sisting that (he other take it.
finally they decided to flip a
coin. However, while they were
engrossed in seeing who the
lucky one would be, a third pas-
senger quietly slipped into Un-
seat.

SAFETY-RIM WHEELS
EXCLUSIVE ON THE NEW PLYMOUTH,
DODGE, DE SOTO AND CHRYSLER CARS
w*
How Safety-Rim Wheels, standard
equipment on the new Chrysler Corpo-
ration Cars, will give new added safety.
A sudden puncture or blowout —and even
a new tire can flatten out like a pancake.
The wheel may settle .. . the car list. .. the
steering wheel jump from your hand. And
the deflated tire and tube may turn cross-
wise, or pull off the rim, rolling away alto-
gether and throwing your car out of control.
t
But you will have proven blowout protec-
tion when you ride in a 1946 Plymouth,
Dodge, De Soto or Chrysler! Blowouts may
still occur, of course — but they will be robbed
of most of their danger.
An exclusive Chrysler Corporation feature,
^ the Safety-Rim Wheel, makes it practically
impossible for a flat tire to pull ofi, even at
higher speeds. Because tire and tube remain
in place, you slow to a safe, straight stop.
Solidly and tightly the tire stays on the
rim. And because the tire does not slip
crosswise to the wheel, there is less chance
oi ruining good rubber.
These Safety-Rim Wheels were put to the
most grueling tests — dynamite caps were
attached to cars' tires, exploded at 75 miles
an hour! And the cars were brought to safe
stops under control.
Safety has always been of utmost impor-
tance in the design of our cars. They brought
you 4-Wheel Hydraulic Brakes. All-Steel
Bodies, Safety-Glass —and, for 1946, the
latest safety advance — SAFETY-RIM
WHEELS.
