How does railroad keep ac count of its wandering freight cars? Union Pacific Boston and Maine Atchison, Topeka s Santa Fe Atlantic Coast liine Chicago, Milwaukie it St. Paul the cars go clicking by long after the chuffing of the engine has died away In the distance, i They are returned to their place . of origin, either empty or loan ed, under the direction of the Association of American Rail roads. ' Each Has "Individuality" Big, jovial Warren C. Ken dall, chairman of A. A. R's car servicing division, can tell you all about It, In terms that are understandable to oersons other than 25-year railroad veterans,' although he himself falls with in that classification. Every one of the 2,000.000 freight cars in the country Is In the A. A. R.'s equipment register, listed by size, shape, number and other characteristics. Each freight car has its own . individuality," Kendall says. All the country's class I rail roads has signed a car service agreement with the A. A. R, set ting up rules for handling of freight cars on "foreign" roads, A car belonging to an adjacent road must be sent home when it Is unloaded, whether there Is a return load available or not, and if empty It has to go by the near est junction. It the car belongs to a distant road, it should be loaded in the general direction of "home." A road may not send its own cars to "foreign" duty if other cars are available. An Incentive to comply with these "provisions is the charge of a dollar, per car a railroad has to pay for every day railroad- owned equipment is on its tracks, In use or Idle, - Pay Private Owners Cars not owned by" railroads rate different treatment. Fifty private concerns such as the Pa cific Fruit Express, Fruit Grow ers Express, Merchants Dis patch, Inc., and packers like Cudahy and Armour, own some 139,000 refrigerator cars. Oil companies and oil car lines own about 144,000 .tank cars. The railroads pay for the use of these cars on a mileage basis and they are routed In accordance with the owners' Instructions. How do railroads know the lo cation of their straying freight cars? After ears are switched through a junction, they go out over a different railroad from that which brought them In. As the new train Is being made up the yardmaster analyzes it, list ing each car by number, destina tion, the road It has just left and the one on which it will con tinue its journey. Gondola cars, stock cars, flat cars refrigerator, tank and box cars all are listed on a form which Is sent to the accountant's office of the outgo ing road. If the train will move on the tracks of the New York Central, for example, the list v Have 7mm .. .the familiar red cooler invites you la your town and in any ten yon yourself arc likely to be a psrt of s scena like tills.

Pes let Each Lisa In that office is set of wall pegs, one for every railroad In! the country. The long list of freight cars Is cut Into strips, one car to a strip, and these are hooked to the proper pegs. Then a clerk takes dow n the strips and copies the notations Into a book. A new volume is started for each road every month. Thus does the New York Cen tral know exactly how many freight cars are on Its tracks, where they are, and where they are going. Owners of all the "foreign" cars are appraised of the location of their property by carbon copies of the slips. The records of short roads are usual ly correct up to 36 hours of act ual movement, Kendall says. On the longer lines, the period ranges from three to four days. Kendall thinks freight cars movements are one of the most fascinating things about railroad operation. According to A, A. R, estimates, he says. If the roads co-operate 83 per cent with car service division rules, the needs of the country's shippers will be met satisfactorily.

MORE WAR BONDS Our Armed Forces, advancing on all fronts, need our support through the purchase of War Bonds, a Coca-Cola YANK TANKS WIN FOUR-DAY BATTLE WITH KING TIGERS With V. S, 9th Army, Ger-i many, Nov, 32 0J.RJ IA. GenJ William H. Simpson's armor de cisively defeated the most for midable German tank force en gaged since D-Day, knocking out 67 of about 100 enemy tanks Including 48 of the new 70-ton "King Tigers" In a four day battle northeast of Aachen, The roaring tank, battle swayed back and forth on the plain west of the Boer river for four days, and today Simpson's armor was In firm position on high ground controlling the ap proaches within sight of the river. Kings Thrown Is The Germans threw Into It their first substantial commit ment of the "King Tiger" tanks. which carry seven to 10 Inches of armor and improved 88-mil- llmeter guns effective at a range exceeding 2000 yards. Simpson's tank losses were proportionate to those of the Germans, but a staff officer pointed out that our replace ment ability was much higher than that of the Nazis, The German tanks led a per sistent series of counterattacks In the last four days, but the INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION Refreshment y Shermans opposing them refused to be stopped despite the murky weather which held down air support to a minimum. 14 Mark IV Of the 67 German tanks knocked out, 14 were Mark IV's and the remainder Panthers and Tigers. The, "King Tigers" are faster than the previous Tiger model. Some of them which were destroyed had less Una 90 miles on their speedometers. U. S. tanks, artillery and new 90-millimeter tank destroyers have beaten off every Panzer thrust in this area, with the high ly maneuverable Shermans sometimes closing to 400 to BOO yards in flanking sweeps around the enemy to order to get In shots at the' thinner aide plates.
