This is just one part of the program of "preventive maintenance" that Southern Pacific has adopted to keep equip ment in tip-top shape throughout our entire rail road system. We use it on all our rolling stock freight and passenger cars, as well as the diesels we mentioned above. f MERRY CHRISTMAS vL All the men and women of the Southern i i .

TRUTH makes trains T uie uirts Kansas City (U.R) In most households it's the woman who wraps the Christmas gifts, but mere man, even if he's all thumbs, can tie an eye-catching package if he wants to. And one expert who knows exactly how it's done thinks he should. He can save money by glamorizing less expensive gifts. The man who wraps a $1,000 diamond .bracelet as if it were a pair of work gloves isn't half the hero he might be with a pair of $5 nylons done up impres sively. So says Kaye King,, a profes sional gift wrapping designer for Hallmark. She says . that women have as much respect for a beautiful package as they do for its contents.

SERUM tell their secrets We also use preventive maintenance ori our 13,500 miles of line, with the help of revolutionary "detector cars" which act as electronic detectives, spotting tiny flaws in rails long before they could become serious. Such preventive maintenance pays off in many ways. It enables us to run the railroad more effi ciently and smoothly, yet keep operating costs down. It also means faster, safer service for you. In short, it helps Southern Pacific give you and everyone else in the vast area we serve the most modern and dependable freight and passen--ger service possible. - - 0 ) D. J. RUSSELL, PRESIDENT uescrioea So, fellows, herewith some of her tips: Key your gift wrapping to the personality of the recipient and the gift tself. If she is addicted to frills and fluffs, select a gift paper with a truly feminine de sign. A gift for a woman who leans toward tailored clothes should be wrapped accordingly. Choose a paper with clean-cut, stylish lines. . A rule-of-thumb is to relate size of the paper design to size of package. "Bold, forceful patterns need a larger box or package to show off their beauty," she said. "Similarly, a diminutive gift that diamond bracelet, for ex ample will look its finest with a small design wrap." Here, briefly are her tried-and-true procedures for wrap ping gifts of the most frequently encountered shapes: Rectangular Place paper design down and center git. Trim width to allow overlap of about one-half inch along back. Trim length to provide extension that is slightly more than half .the depth of package. Fasten paper along back with cellulose tape. Fold down ends precisely and tape. - Circular Cut band of gift wrap as long as the circumfer ence of package, with overlap of one-half inch. Band should exceed depth of package by one half inch at top and bottom. Tape band to package. Neatly pleat excess at top and bottom. Cut two circles the size of pack age, damp with paste and at tach to top and botjtom. , Difficult Irregularly-shaped gifts without boxes frequently can be wrapped effectively, by using "free form" technique. Simply center gift on full sheet of gift paper and bring edges to the top, where they are bunched and tied with ribbon. For an added touch, cut edges to form irregular points. 2io SAN FRANC fS CO Wall Sfreef New York (U.R) Stocks moved irregularly in in a mod erately active session today.
