Excursion Kates
Crowd Trains
On M. P. Lines
St. LouU, June 7—In an effort to
recover I oat trnfflc, the railroad*
of the Mississippi Valley and South-
west hare brought hark the old
time, low rate excursion that was
*o popular thirty years ago, and,
from the results obtained, it is
apparent that it is meeting with
much popular favor. This was
plainly demonstrated when more
than 26,000 excursionists took ad-
vantage of the unprecendcnted low
week-end and holiday rates to prin-
cipal cities and pleasure resorts
along the Missouri Pacific Lines
during the month of May. according
to a statement given out by Paul
J. Neff, assistant vice president,
while other railroads In this terri-
tory handled additional thousands
Passenger traffic was heavy
with the inauguration of the first
excursion when over 6.000 pleasure
bent visitors flocked to the scenic
wonders and recreation attrae'laos
of Hot Springs Natural l*»rk on one
day. with additional thousands
visiting the other two key cities in
the ever alluring Ozark Mountain
section—Branson and Hollister. .
So heavy was the rush of traffic
that special excursion trains were
operated in many directions during
the month, and a popular round
trip rate of $1.00 to Little Hock and
$1.60 to Hot Springs from Memphis
on May 15 necessitated the opera- <
tlon of four special trains in ad- j
dition to extra cars on regular i
trains.
in additiou to the popular ex-
cursion rates to many points, a
special Decoration Day rate was
established over most of the ter-
ritory whereby the rates were re-
duced 70 per cent for the round
trip. Hundreds took advantage of
the Missouri Pacific's $4.00 round
trip fare from St. Louis, Kansas
City and Wichita to Hot Springs
National Park. An idea of the slash
of this fare, which is typical of
others, ran be gained when it Is
r< all zed the nortnul fare for the
SVO mile trip from St. Louis is ap-1
proximately $26.00
Tlte thousands of Decoration Day !
travelers that crowded the great |
passenger terminal^ at St. Louis, j
Kansas City, Memphis and New j
Oileans reminded veteran railroad;
men of the "good old days’’, and
many a remark was passed as to j
whether or not this was not the
way to regain lost passenger traf-
fic.
In cutting and slashing fares,
said Mr. Neff, the Missouri Pacific
is doing everything in its power to!
place week-end pleasure trips
within the reach of every pocket
hook, and the policy of week-end j
excursions will be continued during
the summer season as well as over |
the Fourth of July holidays.
In addition to creating addition-1
al revenue, another advantage the |
railroads will enjoy from the insti-
tution of the low rates, in the op-
inion of Mr. Neff, Is the revival of
interest on the part of the public
in railroad travel. Hundreds who
have never been on a railroad triUu
before are riding these trains, he
said.
Natural Death Defeated
Members of the Masai tribe of Af
ricuns never die natural dentils, be
cause those who escape disease, ex
eentloners and the arrows that fly
by night are, at the approach of
old nge, tabooed from the trihe and
end their days in the haunts of man
eating beasts.
Foolish Beliefs Die Hard
Most of us know that until the
Nineteenth century the tomato
was generally considered poison
ous. American soldiers encountered
French peasants during the World
war who assured them that black-
berries would have deadly effects
und urged against eating them.

Card of Thanka
New York has a Chinese popula-
tion of 3,000. Most of them are
merchants.
• • •
There is a man in New York who
walks about the streets of the city
on very high stilts. On his back
is the name of a well-known pro-
duct. Wonder what he talks about
when he return home at night.
* • •
The Editor of the New Yorker
tells about a man six feet tall who
takes note, while on the street, of
the number of men taller. He re-
ports that in New York six foot
men average about three or four In
a hundred.
• * •
A man walked into a book shop
in New York and asked to see some
books written by Houdinl. The
clerk disappeared for a few mo-
ments and then reappeared with
several volumes. He handed the
hooks to the Inquirer and then no-
ticed he was wearing handcuffs.
* * •
New York Is a curious city.
Plant a Nowr Yorker down in a
strange city, blow a whistle and he
will instinctively turn to the right
or left. In New York a man walks
with traffic. He has to.
• • •
There is a man in New York who
goes to the motion picture theatres
without paying anything. His stunt
is to go bareheaded to tlie man on
the door and say:
“I’m sorry to bother you, but 1
left my hat inside.’’
And the man is let in.
• • *
A shop here is offering scentod
leather gloves for women.
• • •
There is a department store in
New York which will not hire fat
girls as clerks because, it is argued,
they take up too much room behind
the counters.
• • *
New York is without a doubt the
most provincial city In the United
States, It takes little to attract a
crowd here. But if there is one
thing that will attract a crowd it-
is an excavation. New York con-
stantly sees tremendous building
enterprises. Building the founda-
tions for great skyscrapers in this
city is a sight and men and women
by the hundreds are always look-
ing on.
• * *
A mouse appeared in a crowded
department store last week and not
a single woman yelled. The story
broke into the newspapers.
* * *
Rooms numbered 606 and 909
have been eliminated from a num-
ber of New York hotels because
persons forget tlte number of their
rooms, look at their keys, hold the
number up side down and go to
the wrong floor.
Many New York buildings have
no 13th floor.
UP STICK 8HELVE8 PART OF
PLANS FOR NEGRO SCHOOL
Latest developments in school ar-
I chitecture call for the installation
of a “lip stick shelf” In certain class
rooms, it was learned here Friday.
Examination of plans for the
$136,000 negro senior school reveal-
ed that the class room devoted
to the study of cosmetology will be
fitted out with a permanent lip
stick shelf which will run under
mirrors used in laboratory work.
It is understood that the plans
for the new buildings at the San
Antonio Vocational and Technolog-
c al School on Main Avenue also call
for a class room in cosmetology
and a lipstick shelf.
These are tlte only schools In the
system so equipped, it is learned,
und girl students in the other pal-
aces of learning will have to carry
their lip sticks in vanities or keep
them in desk or locker space.
Cosmetology, being the science
of beauty culture, it is understood
that students in these classes will
be allowed to place other equip-
ment besides lip stick on the
shelves so indicated.—San Antonio
Express.
