New Method To
Finance Trains
A brand new idea in big-time
financing may put more modern
equipment on the nation's rail
roads in a few years. One'of the
most costly items in the railroad
business is the purchase of freight
and passenger cars. In the past,
railroads have had to tie up large
sums as down payments while the
cars are being built—a costly
procedure when you think that
even the most simply designed
freight car costs about $4,500 and
a dining car as much as $250,000
But under a new plan cars will be
financed by a second party and
rented to the railroads on a daily
basis. First railroads to take ad
vantage of the new plan are the
Pennsylvania and the Atlantic
Coast Line which soon will be
renting freight cars financed by
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety (The Pennsylvania has jusi
ordered 20,000 of them). Both the
railroad and car-building indus
tries hope that the plan will catcl
on and spread so as to include al
types of rolling stock.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STRICT
It Takes All Kinds-Chiselers
And Those Generous of Heart
__— By BILLY ROSE
Here are two stories, both true. The first is as mean as a thumb
in the eye: the second, as heartening as a sunrise. ...
The ineau 1 one is about i Philadelphia industrialist who, on one of his
frequent business trips to New York, made the acquaintance of a young
lady whose good looks were only surpassed by her amiability. Despile the
fact that he was married, the tycoon began to see a lot of the girl, and it
wasn't long before he had set her up in a Madison avenue apartment and
was forking over $300 a week to cover expenses.
After * couple of cozy and clan
destine year*, the girl said to him
one night. “If
something ever!
happens to you.
Daddy, I'll be
left without a pen
nv. Don't you
think you ought
to do something
about securing
my future?", -
“You're ibso-'
lutely right. -said • B„e
the industrialist.
•'Give me a few days to work it
out.” 1
The next time he called on the
girl." he handed her half a million
dollars worth of 3 per cent railroad
bonds..
“These will yield you an income
of 15 thousand' *? year," he said.
“Every three months as the cou
pons come due, clip them and I'll
cash them in for you, and you can
use the money for expenses..
"You'll notice I hat tu t put
your name on the bonds, Well,
that's because the transfer ol so
large a sum would come to the
attention ol the board ol direc
tors and cause a lot ol talk. Ilotr
et er. if anything happens to me.
you can write your name in and
sell the whole lot at any broker
age house." *
The girl thanked him, and the
pair continued seeing each other
until the tycoon keeled over in Iris
Philadelphia office a couple of
years later with an attack of coro
nary thrombosis. When his lady
friend read the obituary in the pa
pers. ahe wrote her name on tire
bonds and took them to the broker
age house.
The broker examined the certifi
cates. ‘'You’re a little late. Miss,'’
he said. “This railroad went out of
existence almost 30 years ago."
The girl picked up the worthless
pa pet and walked out. “T’.e duly
double-crosser,” she muttered. “All
he gave me was the same three
hundred a week."
AND NOW let me take the thumb
out ot your eye and show you the
sunrise.
Some years ago, an Iowa garage
man went bankrupt and decided to
make a fresh- start in another slate.
He scraped together a little cash, 1
loaded his wife and kids into a beat- j
lip Chevrolet and headed for Cali
fornia. Unfortunately, the jalopy j
broke down outside of Tucson and j
the cost ot getting it fixed cleaned J
him out.
To get a little eating money, he
set out id canvass the garages in
town for a job but quickly found
the supply of local labor was great
er than the demand—Tucson, be
cause of its climate, was filled wilh
tuberculosis victims, a good many
of whom were mechanics.
At the last garage on his list,
he tepealed his hard-inch story
and got the standard turndown,
hut as he started to Halk out he
uas stopped by one of the me
chanics.
“If you need a job as bad as J i
say,” lie said, “you can have mine.
I'm pretty sure I can fix it with
tile boss.”
“Don't you need the job your
self"' said the man from Iowa.
“I've saved enough to last me
for six months," said the mechan
ic, "and the doctor who's treating
me for TB says that's all I figure
to live."
siderably our understanding of
the Russian people- a people that
is “saturated" with liberal and
moral concepts that "must some
day” assert themselves and lead
to the collapse of the present So- ,
viet regime.
Joe, disconsolately looking out
the window, noticed a very large
log floating down the river He
said, “Now that's typically Wash
ington.'1
Moe looked and said he couldn’t
see anything unusual except the
log was pretty big.
Joe said, “Yes, 1 know, but if
you’ll look closely, you’ll notice
that there are 100,000 ants on that
log and each one thinks he’s steel
ing it.”
