Automobile Runs
On Railroad Track
Albany, N. Y. (U.R) Don't be
alarmed if an automobile whiz
zes by with a mighty blast from
an air horn while you're waiting
at a New York Central Railroad
crossing. It's probably Central's
president, Alfred E. Perlman,
out on an inspection tour.
. Perlman has a special automo
bile, equipped to run on railroad
tracks and over the highway,
which he uses on inspection trips
along the line.
The car has flanged wheels in
front and back to keep the rub
ber tires on the tracks and keep
the weight off them. For high
way travel, these wheels are
flipped up out of the way by an
air pressure device under the
fenders.
When Perlman travels on the
rails, the steering apparatus is
loeked into-position.-
Yellow lights in front, red
ones on the back and a red flash
ing light above the car's num
ber "100" marker provide pro
tection against collisions with
trains, even though none are
supposed to be on any section of
track when the car is.

Gas Meter Reader
Not Bluffed by Dogs
Sapulpa, Okla. (U.R) A local
gas meter reader, Harry Hines,
claims he has a surefire method
of handling strange dogs that
may show signs of getting bel
ligerent. '
Hines said his 35 years of ex
perience in strolling into back
yards and peeking into corners
and under porches for meters
has taught iim one thing any
halfway spunky dog is likely to
take an experimental nip out of
man s calf under such circum
stances.
Hines explained his "system"
in three words "take after
'em."
"The moment you step into a
yard, dont take any chance,
he says. "Take after the dog and
run him until he goes under the
porch or jumps the fence and
clears out."
Hines keeps in constant prac
tice and his presence of mind
never falters. He cites this in
cident as an example.
"I was visiting a home on the
south side of the city and the
porch had ice on it. I slipped and
fell through a plate glass win
dow right into the living room.
"A big black bulldog lying
by the fire snarled and started
for me. I hollored 'boo' . and
started for him. That got his
goat, and, after about four times
around the room, he took out
through a door into the dining
room and I heard the sound of
breaking glass. That, dog had
gone through the dining room
window.
. "He came back, the folks told
me later, in about' a week, look
ing as gaunt as a distance run
ner." -
College Garden

SHEEP CARE'

minutes spent now "drenching"
