A TICKET MACHINE
IN USE IN GERMANY
Prints Dates, Validates
Tickets ands Makes Sim
ple Station Agent’s
Duties.
A ticket printing machine that
prints, dates and otherwise makes the
ticket negotiable is the result of Ger
man ingenuity that is being used suc
cessfully in German passenger sta
tions and is being seriously considered
by a number of American railroad men.
The machine simplifies the work on
the ticket seller, besides releasing
him of a great amount of responsibil
ity, as the bit of pasteboard is value
less up to the moment it is run into
the machine. A cardboard material
is used that can be easily duplicated,
but as the machine itself is self re
cording it is impossible for more
tickets to be accurately stamped than
can be accounted for by an inspec
tion of the tabulator on the machine.
Instead of being surrounded by
thousands of various tickets for each
station on the system, there is only
a small unpretentious machine stand
ing beside the clerk at the ticket of
fice window, in which tickets are
printed as called for. The only stock
the clerk nas is an adequate supply
of blanks, while the only bookkeeping
requisite is the totaling of an auto
matically printed duplicate record,
upon which every ticket, printed and
sold is mechanically registered in
the machine.
The appliance is an unpretentious
one, measuring some forty-two inches
long by twenty-three inches broad
and about four feet in height. This
machine has a series of small troughs
carrying in edgewise position small
printing plates. These plates remain
in the machine and cannot be with
drawn, except by the mechanically
printing carriage, being locked there
in by the clerk.
Manipulation Simple.
At the back of the machine, upon
an octagonal drum, is carried an in
dicator on which is inscribed the
name of every station upon the sys
tem arranged in alphabetical order.
Along the top of the machine travels
a small, light carriage which is the
printing apparatus. The operation of
impressing is so simple and requires
such slight effort that it can be work
eu by a girl with facility.
Upon a ticket being demanded at
the window the clerk takes a blank
and slips it through the slot into the
printing carriage. The latter is then
run along its path of travel until the
point comes opposite the name on
the indicator of the station called for.
A small handle is sharply turned and
a fully printed ticket drops out of the
printing carriage ready for issuance.
No other operation is necessary.
During its short sojourn in the ma
chine the blank receives the names
of both the departure and arrival sta
tions, together with the date, route
of travel, class of carriage fare and
distinctive consecutive number, to
gether with any other details that
may be necessary, such as whether
for fast or slow train, Puliman privi
lege, workman’s, excursion or other
wise.
Simplifies Accounting.
The blanks are worthless until pass
ed through the machine, so loss of
tickets is out of the question. Should
it be necessary for the agent to leave
his office, he can lock the machine,
thus preventing its working. Should
he make a mistake in the issuance of
a ticket, he has merely to retain it
until balancing his till and sales rec
ord at the conclusion of the day’s
labors, and thus deduct the amount
of the erroneous ticket from the to
tal. or, if sending to another depart
ment, attach the wrongly printed
ticket to is record as a proof of the
error. The effect of this contrivance
in reducing the labor and responsibil
ity of the clerk is thus plain.
From the administration’s point of
view, it is a first class money saver.
There is no expense in the printing
of tickets. Instead, it is only neces
sary to buy consignments of blanks.
A bulk of these costs only a fifteenth
of what it would were the same
number printed. It is impossible for
the tickets to any station to become
exhausted, because they are printed
only as required.
At one station one clerk is said to
have recently printed and issued 500
tickets in a single hour. There are
now three machines at this station
and only three men on each shift are
required, while previously double that
number were necessarv.—Houston

cent used for the cattle. It is the
poor man, of all others, who should
farm economically. He must adopt
the very reverse of the plan that
gradually made his land poor, and
must gradually make It productive by
patiently working in a rotation that
will give hm an abundance of forage
from legume crops that will enable
him to forever abandon the buying of
nitrogen in any form.

THE MOTHER’S PART IN THE
CHILD’S EDUCATION.
(From an article In “Success Magazine”
in which H. Addington Bruce calls at
tention to a remarkable experiment in
education.)
His mother, who from the first co
operated loyally with her husband in
this unique educational experiment,
sought successfully to cultivate the
boy’s imaginative side. While his fath
er was Infusing into him the scientific
spirit, she was making him acquainted
with the delights of “Alice in Wonder
land,’’ “Mother Goose” and other tales
and rhymes of chifcihood. He listened
to them, he read them for himself With
all the intense eagerness of the ordi
nary child and he remembered and in
terpreted them with rare facility and
with a wealth of original detail. Before
he wfs three he had memorized many
of the simpler verses, and as he grew
older he developed a pronounced talent
for elocution.
Thus, by the time he had reached the
age of six. when it was decided to send
him to school, William James Sidis was
mentally far in advance of other chil
dren of his years. Nor did his health
appear to have been impaired in the
slightest by the process of intellectual
discipline to which he had been subject
ed. Physically he was s he Is today
—a robust, sturdy lad, abounding in
energy, fond of games, ever ready for
play. There was absolutely nothing in
his appearence to indicate that he differ,
ed in any way from the average boy
of six. Appreciating this, Mrs. Sidis,
when she entered him at the nearest
grammer school, thought she would say
nothing about the preliminary home
education the boy had received. She
merely answered the usual questions
his nge, place of residence f etc., and
then left him at the disposal of the school
autnorities who Informed her that h#
would be placed in the first grade.
