IIEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, A1 PILOTS I, HEM THUDS Jim Suttles, Southern Con ductor, Easily Dean of Switchmen in South. TRAVELS 420,000 MILES Accomplishes This Within Five- Mile Limit of Peters St. and Terminal Station. •Tim Suttles continued to scribble figures on his litle record card for several minutes after the whistles told him it was 6 o’clock, last night. Then .he glanced leisurely about, and caw that he was pretty nearly alone in the yards. He strolled over to the freight shed, peeled off a pair of over alls. faded from much washing stretched and yawned contentedly. Being well versed in the newest fhing in slang. Mr. Suttles also re marked to the atmosphere that he “should worrv.” This has been his custom now for nearly 28 years,, during wfiich time he has been in the service of the South ern Railway as freight conductor, working almost all the while in that part of the yard about Peters Street and the Terminal Station. Out of an existence which might seem humdrum at the first glance, a number of Interesting things have come. For instance: In the 28 years Mr. Suttles* has missed a day or two, maybe—not more. During that time he has guided freight cars in aud out sidings, through switches, from yard to yard; he has cut out cars and moved therr from train to train; he has handled generally about 200 cars a day, on the conservative average. Has Piloted 1,680.000 Cars. That would mean an almost con tinuous service of 8,500 days, barring Sundays. And many the Sunday ir • the old days that he worked. he says. It would mean that he has handled 60,000 cars a year—a rather low es timate. Also, that in the 28 years at this rate, he has piloted 1,680,000 freight cars through the maze of tracks* that has grown year by year as the traf fic increased, and become more and more complicated. And—here is the best part of the story—he doesn’t want anything said alfvut it. Through a weatherbeaten tan, his face flushed modesfly when it was suggested that there might be something of a~?'tory in his achieve ment. Jim Suttles has lived his life for 28 years within the narrow confines of the Southern Railway yards. Some times he goes, with his cars to the north yards, sometimes to the south yards, but never beyond the range of about five miles. Which is a rath er circumscribed world to work in it would seem. Yet the figures are there to show that within the narrow sphere of his working existence. Jim Suttles has traveled sufficiently far in the aggre gate to take him around the world ten. maybe fifteen, times. Fifty miles a day, say, switching and checking cars; in a year. 15,000 miles; in 28 years, 420,000 miles. . Dean of Freight Condutcors. Maybe 50 miles a day is high, as an estimate. But not likely. Even the standing length of all ( the cars which he has handled in the 28 *years would reach around the globe half way. more than 11,000 miles. Mr. Suttles in his work has dealt almost altogether with freight cars. So closely is he identified with the movement of freight cars in the yards about Atlanta, and fgr so long time, that he easily is the dean of freight conductors in the service of the road —probably in the South. Jim Suttles and switch engine 1648 stand for something in local railroading. All of which is an achievement per formed by James L. Suttles, freight conductor, in 28 years of unspectacu lar, faithful, contented yvork, of work accomplished within narrow r limits so far as space is concerned, but which reveals a staggering total of results that lifts it out of the humdrum Into greatness. Mr Suttles resides at 137 Chapel Street, but he actually lives among the multiplicity of rails and cars around about the Terminal Station and the Peters Street bridge, because his life is bound up in the work which has been his for 28 years 12 hours a day.

Misses Lillian and Prances Smith, who went out to swim before summer arrived, and say bathing is very best beauty aid. Aquatic Exercises Lend Attractive Curves to Figure, Declare Vivacious Mermaids. Would you be beautiful? Would you have a complexion that will consume your sisters with envy? Then hearken to the advice of these two Atlanta maidens, Lillian and Frances Smith, of 47 Piedmont Ave nue. “Banish your drug store and beauty shop complexions and go swimming! Give Nature a chance,” is what they say. . The Misses Lillian and Frances sought to follow their own advice yesterday and went to Piedmont Park for a dip. As a result, they beat the park authorities as the season, and found the lake dry. They waited and waited on the bank, but the water would not rise. Said the sister Frances, pensively twirling one daintily shod foot In the ripples: “Water Best Cosmetic.” "Atlanta girls would And no occa sion to go to Madame This and Mad ame That in order to acquire beau tiful complexions if they only would take a plunge every day and would swim about for an hour or more. "The modern man, anyway, hasn’t any use for the pallid, hothouse com plexions of other days. “The girl of to-day, if she wants to make a hit with a man—I'm not saying she does, you understand— should betake herself to the nearest lake and wash off all the paint and powder. Then, she should swim and swim some more. If she will take a swim every day she will find in a sur prisingly short time that she feels better, sleep., better and—dearest to her heart—she will discover that the complexion, once pale and anemic, is glowing with health. “Let the Freckles Come.” "If the freckles answer the call of the sunlight and the breezes and in sist on peeking out, why, I say, let ’em come. I would rather have so many freckles that you couldn't set any 'more on my face without stand ing them on edge than to possess | some of the pasty complexions I have seen." ,, The beauteous Atlanta Keuermans also Insist that their "water cure" is just as effective for the young Wom an who is annoyed by her severe Gothic style of architecture, fewim daily for a month or two, they say, and the angularities will be subdued, the sharp corners will be rounded and the form will become a symphony of curves. It is all very wonderful, , Whether they couldn't help them selves or whether they acquired it In the way they say other girls can, the sisters Frances and Lillian give great weight to their advice by possessing m a delightful degree the pulchritude all women are said to desire. Miss Frances is pretty and viva cious. Miss Lillian is vivacious and pretty. That’s the only difference. Confederate Generals, Especial floral memorials will be placed on them, marking the resting places of General John B. Gordon, General Clement A. Evans. and General Iverson. Tremendous streams of Carolina moss and cedar, the dark green brightened here and there by flowers have beep fashioned by the women to adorn the monument at Oakland.
