A REAL ENGINE ROOM
The accompanying photograph shows the interior of the engine room of the Green Forest Mill & Ele¬ vator Company of Green Forest, Arkansas. The young person at the throttle is Miss Persis Old¬ ham, daughter of M. A. Oldham, general manager of the MiUing Company.
A handy man about the mill acts in the capacity of engineer when he has nothing else to do at pack¬ ing the flour and meal and trucking it. As a matter of  fact. Miss Persis runs
the engine most of the time herself and gives it con¬ siderable personal supervision.
The installation of this 50-H. P. Mogul engine, which occurred two years ago, was the first official installation of L. A; Smith. Since that time Mr. Smith has be¬ come the general manager of the Green Forest Electric Light & Power Company, and is operating two I H C Mogul engines in his plant.
In the Green Forest Mill the power is transmitted from the engine room to the mill basement through a fortv-foot tunnel. This makes the mill unique as well as efficient.
OUT OF DOORS WITH AN INTERNATIONAL By Joseph Douglas, General Salesman, Baltimore, Md.
The Portland (Maine) Sunday Press and Times, in a recent issue, contains an interesting account of how Dudley Page, of Frederick, Maryland, spent an enjoy¬ able outing in an International truck. This truck incidently represented an old model, which was sold by
Collins & Grossnickle of Frederick in an early day. It was one of the first cars sold from the Baltimore agency.
The truck, supposedly of an age fitted to be super¬ annuated, was purchased by Mr. Page and rebuilt on the lines shown in the photograph. From Frederick, Md., to Portland, Maine, Mr. Page, proceeded to make the trip overland. "The trip was made without a hitch. The car is in perfect condition," wrote Mr. Page to me.
According to the account in the Sunday Press and Times, the traveler ate and slept in the International, carried a complete commissary de|)artment, and trav¬ eled at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The coverings of the car were brown oil canvas, thoroughly water-proofed, and each side was so arranged that one folding cot could be carried on it, leaving the bed of the machine clear for a third cot. Conveniences for ventilation and open-air sleeping were provided for. There were parcel receptacles, mirrors, racks, brackets, and numerous other devices for comfort.
The wizard of Frederick comes by his unusual char¬ acter naturally, as Barbara Frietche, Admiral Schley and Francis Scott Key were natives of his home town.
"Why doesn't the police¬ man pay his fare ? " in- (piired the old gentleman on the twopenny tram, observing that no money |)assed between the con¬ stable and the conductor.
"Well, you know sir," explained the conductor, " vou can't get twopence out of a copper."—Tit-Bits.
