Harvey Girl On
Comeback Trail In
Southwest U. 5.
Chicago (U.R) The Harvey
Girl famed in song, story and
movie, is coming back in the
southwest.
Travelers on the Santa Fe rail
way, riding the California Lim
ited between California and Chi
cago, once again will have their
meals at the Harvey houses along
the line. The change will be ef
fective on April 2, when dining
cars will be removed from the
train.
Explains Revival
In explaining the revival of
the tradition-steeped station eat
ing houses, R. T. Anderson, gen
eral passenger traffic manager
of the Santa Fe, said "we are
confident the revival of these
dining arrangements will be re
ceived enthusiastically by the
mass of tourists of the west and
southwest.
"Vacationers have solicited
our consideration of a more lei
surely type of trip through the
Indian country of New Mexico
and Arizona, and the new sched
ule of the California Limited has
been patterned along these
lines."
To Enlarge Staffs
Because of the stops at meal
times, the running time of the
train will be lengthened so pas
sengers can enjoy three meals
daily en route.
"The new program means
adding to our Harvey house
staffs at Albuquerque and Gal
lup, N. M.; Winslow, Williams
and Scligman, Ariz., where meals
will be served to California Lim
ited passengers," Anderson con
tinued. "Some new building and
remodeling of the dining rooms,
particularly at Seligman, will be
undertaken. We believe the pro
gram has a definite appeal to
vacation travelers.
"The change does not affect
the Super Chief, Chief, El Cap
itan and Grand Canyon Limited.
They will maintain their present
dining car facilities."
Only One Train
For many years the Califor
nia Limited was the only train
on the Santa Fe which carried a
dining car through between Chi
cago and Los Angeles. All other
trains stopped at the Harvey
houses for meals.
With the advent of the Chief
and speeding up of schedules on
other trains, the eating places
gradually were eliminated. Even
so, the houses were maintained
and many travelers took advan
tage of a 15-minute stop at Win
slow or Albuquerque to dash in
and get a cup of coffee, just to
see the Harvey Girl in her black
uniform, with white apron and
cap.
How Code Worked
The old-time traveler was
amazed nt the efficiency of the
service. The one custom which
caused comment was the "code"
system the girls had adopted in
the bcveraRo department. One
girl would take the order of the
patron, always ending up with
the type of drink desired coffee
tea, or milk, and if cream was
desired.
She then marie her way to the
Kitcnen. Anotncr girl soon
brought in the order for the pas
senger while a third would fill
his cup. What stumped the patron
was how the girl filled his cup
exactly as requested, yet she had
not taken his order.
Code Was Answer
The answer was the code. For
example, the cup turned upside
down on the saucer signified cof
fee and cream: cup straight up.
black coffee; cup turned over
Pituitary Gland of
Swine Supplying
Medicine (or Man
By Paul F. Ellis
United Press Science Editor
New York, Mar. 31 W.P.)
The swine has been a source of
food for man through the cen
turies, and now that animal is
supplying medicine.
The medicine is a hormone,
known as acth, which medical
scientists are finding equally as
effective as another hormone,
cortisone, in treating some dis
eases heretofore classed as in
curable. Acth is produced from the pit
uitary gland of the swine, and
like cortisone it is precious and
expensive. Current prices of acth
are $200 a gram, or about $5,000
an ounce.
Expensive By-Product
The hormone acth may be the
world's most expensive and
most valuable by-product. It has
been produced by Armour and
company, from slaughtered hogs
and because of the Armour re
search facilities other packing
rnmnanics have been shipping
their supply of pituitaries to
Armour. Recently, Wilson and
company, another large pacxer,
announced it was in the busi
ness, too, of making acth.
The scientists working with
acth are hopeful a synthetic ma
terial may eventually be made,
but they are not as far on the
road to total synthesis as those
working with cortisone. In the
first place,, acth has not been iso
lated in absolute pure form and
the scientists are not sure of the
characteristics of the acm mole
cule. Stimulates Gland
Preliminary studies with acth
have shown that the hormone
stimulates generally the adrenal
glands into producing cortisone
and other hormones that are
necessary for health in the nu
man being. As in the case of cor
tisone, the hormone causes some
bad reactions in patients but the
reactions disannear promptly
when the injection of the sub
stance is stopped. Many acth re
searchers are convinced that the
undesirable reactions have been
the result of overdosage.
The scientists are not convinc
ed that swine pituitaries are the
only major source of the nor
mone. Thev are working with
other animals and have found
that shccD Dituilaries also pro
duce the hormone, but sheep are
not as plentiful as swine.
Grades of Priority
As of now. the Armour com
pnny has set up four grades of
priority in the distribution of
acth. The researchers trying for
a synthetic acth get first call,
and second is clinical research.
The third priority goes to addi
tional clinical research, and ino.
4 is the general public. Only
those in the first two categories
are now receiving acth.
with the handle to left, tea.
Unless the passenger decided
he didn't like to see his cup up
side down, his beverage came in
just as he ordered it. Otherwise,
there was a little confusion, but
it was not the fault of the Harvey
Girl.
SIZE ISN'T EVERTHING

Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology has a midget companion.
The desk-sized smaller device
solves problems with more

Hot Tamale of Canine World
Stymies Playboys of New York
New York (U.R) The night
life of a Chihuahua, the hot ta
male of the canine world, has
many of New York's playbodys
stymied. This doggy night-lifer
is escorted to the theater and
the gay spots by a luscious
blonde every night.
The stag line frowns. Three's
a crowd and bu person ic bable.
the Chihuahua charmer, doesn t
like crowds.
The blonde Is Janie Stevens,
23, of Aurora, Ind., a pert pint
sized singer at the Old Knick, a
cafe-theater specializing in melo
drama, red checkered table
clothes and beer. Miss Stevens,
who stands four feet 11 inches
and weighs 95 pounds, Chihua in
hand, is the star attraction.
Do Town Together
Janie, a singer since she was
15, started taking Supersonic
Sable to the theater with her
each evening. After the show
they do the town together.
Sable's life, however, was not
always one of gay revelry and
gadding about the Gay White
Way. Before her emancipation
she used to remain at Miss Ste
ven's apartment and snooze
while her mistress was out win
ning the bread and dog biscuits.
This prosaic existence ended
abruptly when Miss Stevens
found that upon returning home
after a hard night at the theatre
Sable would be full of life and
ginger. She would enlist all sorts
of guises and cute tricks to get
her mistress to forsake the sack
for a little frisking and good na
tured play.
Janie Rebels
The result? Janie Stevens got
very little sleep.
"Enough!" cried Janie. "From
now on you can go to all the
shows with me. Then maybe
we'll both get some sleep."
The following night Sable had
her first taste of New York's
night life. She started with the
theater, followed by visits to
many of the better bistros.
She polished off the evening
with a ride home in a taxi, en
sconced beside her mistress.
Then a quick canter around the
block and Sable and Janie re
tired for the night.
It worked. Sable was all tuck
ered out and slept like a dog
until very late the next day.
Jar Of Olives Said
To Forecast Weather
Sydney, Australia. (U.R) A
Sydney grocer has a jar of olives
on his shelf that are not for sale.
They are "weather prophets."
One fine, sunny, blue-skies
morning, a customer walked in
and pointed to the olives. The
grocer, C. W. Mansell, wouldn't
sell them. He told his customer a
dark rim round the top and the
darkened olives meant it was go
ing to rain.
"If the weather's good, the
fluid is clear and olives pale
green," he said.
The customer went away,
shaking his head. By mid-afternoon
a terrific thunderstorm
broke out and several people
were struck by lightning at the
beach.
For days the grocer had
crowds of curious visitors.
Couple Barely Find$
Time To Celebrate
Hardwick, Mass. (U.R) l.h
and Mrs. Eugene W. Hanson had
trouble finding time to celebrate
their 25th wedding anniversary.
In. addition to running four
farms, the school bus, mail trans
portation system and. a herd of
140 cows, Hanson serves as a
town assessor, clerk of the farm
ers' cooperative exchange and
secretary of the Jocal milk pro
ducer s association.
His wife serves as town libra
rian, election official, and
Grange officer and still does all
her own housework.
"T rtfc nf ,-amncf man rtna wma

said.
Among his 'phone calls was
one from a weather bureau official.
