RR'S KEW CASEY JONES
C00!S OFF THE FREIGHT
BY ED SNYDER
NEA Staff Correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—(NEA)
—The railroads have a new Casey
Jones, but this time he’s the kind
of engineer who builds things, not
the kind that chauffeurs locomo
tives.
In the last three year, Frederick
McKinley (Casey) Jones has made
t wo. important contributions to
railroad freight hauling: He de
cioned the first prectical mechani
cal refrigerator car, and he in
vented a “crisper” device for his
refrigerator car that will keep
vegetohles fresh during their trip
to market.
Until 1948, 'most railroad re
fricerator cars were cooled by ice
:nd salt, mainly because nobody
could huild a better refrigerator
e~r, Many mechanical cars were
iwvented. but none could stand
the punishment of freight yard
wwitehine and thousands of miles
~f travel over all kinds of road
bele,
Jones’ meehanical car was sold
tn the railroads only after two
vears of intensive testing. The
rar traveled one-auarter of a mil-
Jion miles over U. S. and Canadian
rails under every weather condi
tion. It hauled every kind of com
modity, from frozen orange juice
to frozen fish.
* * *
Jones brought out his crisper de
vice a few months ago. It is aimed
at making rail trips easier on let
tuce and strawberries. The U. S.
Thermo Control Co., of which he
is' chief engineer, claims that the
new humidity controls prevent
slime, mold, wilting and dehydra
tion. It does much the same job
as the crisper box in your kitchen
refrigerator.
The new Casey Jones, a tall,
shy, retiring Negro who’s pushing
60, invented a lot of things before
he went to work on freight cars.

FRED (CASEY) JONES: A
freight car like your ice box.
Orphaned at five, he quit school
after the sixth grade and went
to work as an auto mechanic in
Cincinnati, and eventually landed
a job as a driver and mechanic of
racing cars.
Between close scrapes on dirt
auto tracks, Jones dug through
books on electricity and engineer
ing. In 1930 he convinced Joesph
Thermo Control, to give him a
job. Since then he has racked up
a number of patents, among them
the one for the device that grinds
out tickets at movie theater box
offices.
Jones’ employer until the late
1930’s primarily produced theater
equipment and thus Jones pri
marily was an electricical engi
neer. When the company switched
to' air conditioning devices, Jones‘
took himself to the library and
boned up on refrigeration engi
neering. He learned so well that‘
he now holds about 40 patents on
refrigeration and air conditioning‘
devices. |
Yet he almost didn’t get a job
when he first went to see Nu
mero. While he waited for an‘
answer, Jones went browsing
through the plant.
Numero made up his mind |
when he found Jones surrounded
by the company’s staff of college
trained experts. The self-taught
engineer was explaining a tricky
blueprint to them.
Farmers Urged
To Delay
-
Cotton Chopping
Farmers were urged today by E.
C. Westbrook, Extension Service
agronomist, not to be in too big a
hurry about chopning cotton.
“Chopping should be delayed,”
Westbrook said, ‘until farmers can
determine which plants will live.”
The agronomist pointed out that
cool, and in many areas, wet
weather, prevailed until late April.
“This has caused considerable re
planting,” he said. Much cotton
that came up in April died because
of wet weather and cool nights.
“With the coming of warm
weather,” Westbrook said, “young
cotton seedlings will produce new
roots ranidly.” Cotton that has
stood still, . and - even some that
went backward, will show im
provement immediately. |
Stating that large yields are de
pendent somewhat upon good
stands, Westbrook urged farmers
to leave enough cotton on the
ground. “One or two plants per
hill about every eight to ten inches
in the drill is desirable,” he said.
South Georgians are about two
weeks behind their normal sche
dule, the agronomist reported, and
farmers in North Georgia have al
so progressed slowly.
It was revealed that a large per
centage of the acreage normally
planted the last half of April will
not be planted until May. “With
warm weather and warm soil,
however, stands should be ob
tained quickly, and this should
make up for the late schedule,”
Westbrook stated.
SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
~ Thousands of Georgia farmers
'who produce high yields and make
good profits almost every year re
port that they are using informa
tion provided by agricultural ex
periment stations in this state and
presented to them by country
agents and other Extension work

KILLER'S PACE
BY JULIUS LONG
Chapter 34
Standing on the tank platform
was Sonya Sareeta. Her water
soaked dress fitted her like new
skin and fragments of rope hung
from her ankles and wrists. No
wonder Wertheim had been
frightened out of his wits by the
apparition she must have present
ed. Somehow Sonya had managed
to work herself loose, slip between
platform and vault and into the
water.
“I almost didn’t make it,” she
said calmly. “Another club sand
wich, and I wouldn’t have been
able to squeeze through.”
She stepped down, crossed to the
door and opened it wide. The wa
ter, which had been escaping
through, now went out with a
gush. I waited till it had flooded
the office outside, then let Wer
theim drop.
“What happened, Sonya?”
“I saw Wertheim enter via the
back door. I knew he wasn’t the
watchman, though at the time I
didn’t know he was Prater’s sales
manager. I followed him in. He
must have heard me. He knocked
me cold, and when I woke up I
was in this room tied to the plat-

form in the tank. Wertheim made
quite a little :Beoch. introducing
himself and telling :h‘ how sorry
he was about the while thing.
“I tried to talk him out of it,
but I never had.a chance. There
was his wife and family, and kill
ing me was the only way he could
save them from the horrible scan
dal of his disgrace.
“1 told him I didn’t know what
he was talking about. He just
laughter and said that if I didn’t,
you did, so it made no difference.
It may interest you to know that
after I had been suffocated, you
were to get the same treatment.
Then we were to be planted
in your car and run off a bridge.”
“Like Frannie.”
“Don’t keep me in suspense!
Wertheim sald you knew every
thing. What is the truth? How did
Frannie die?”
“I'm not quite sure just how it
‘happened, Sonya, Wertheim must
‘have jumped to the conclusion that
1 knew about Frannie’s bathing
suit?”
“Yes.” I went over to Wertheim
and pulled two pieces from his
coat pocket.
“Why, that’s one the line girls
wore this week!”
-
I nodded. "They also wore the
same suits the week Frannie was
killed. I guess Nanabarro must
economize on costumes and use
them over again after a few
months. I realized tonight that
this was Frannie’s suit, the one,
from LaJolla Club. Remember
Clara Mayhew saying Wertheim's
wife had bought 1t?”
“I remember.”
“Well, she had me fooled. Then

I knew what Star had been talking
about when he had made some
thing of your being able to wear
Clara Mayhew’s clothes. Most sis
ters, especially if they are in show
business and keeping trim, can
wear the same clothes, too. |
“Star was telling me in his silly
subtle way that Clara Mayhew
could wear a bathing suit left be
hind by Frannie, That's why I
came here for the thing.”
Sonya was eying me carefully.
“Then Frannie did die in the tank
—as I was supposed to die?”
“No, not quite like that. Frannie
actually drowned.”
“And did Wertheim kill Fran
nie?”
“He had a part in it. Let’s take
him to police headquarters. I think
he’ll be willing to tell everything
to save his own hide.”
Wertheim was still out cold. I
had hit him harder ihan I had in
tended. I picked him up and went
through his pockets just in case.
He had Sonya’s automatic, and I
gave it back to her. Otherwise he
was not armed.
A prowl car stopped us after
three blocks. There was a crew of
two, and the rider got out with
a gun.
- “What’s the gag? Do you think
I've got Star with me?”
- “The heck with Star Williams!
We want you and"the girl!”
; “What'’s the beef? Why do you
want us?” :
“Nothing much. Just murder!”
That one almost floored me. I
got control of my voice and asked.

Merica scowled across his desk.
Sergeant Cost sat on a corner f

had me, and he could afford the
luxury'of being eivil,
“You're free to call your lawyer

You asked for it, breaking into the

“You fool! Wertheim tried i

you up, Marshall. Why would
anybody want to tie a girl up ang

ways to kill people. And what mo

for killing Madam Sonya Sareets,

your cops took over.”
