That ‘Brave Engineer* C'OUR o’clock of a November " morning in the year 1941. North of the little town of Vaughan, Miss., the Panama Limited, crack train of the Illinois Central, slows down, then comes to a stop at a switch. Down from the observation platform on the, rear car steps a little group of men. They are members of the American Railway Magazine Edi tors’ association, en route to New Orleans, for their annual meeting. A moment later they are joined by a few passengers rubbing the sleep from their eyes. They group themselves across the roadbed, around the V-shaped switch. Then CASEY JONES in the hush of the “darkness just before dawn” they raise their voices in this song: Come, all you Rounders, I want you to hear The story of a brave engineer; Casey Jones was the Rounder’s name. On a high right-wheeler, he rode to fame. Caller called Casey about half past four; He kissed his wife at the station door. Climbed into the cab with orders in his hand. Saying, "This is my trip to the Holy Land. Through South Memphis yards on the fly, He heard the fireman say. "You got a white eye." All the switchmen knew by the engine’s moans. That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones. It had been raining some five or six weeks; The railroad track was like the bed of a creek; They slowed him down to a thirty-mile gait— Threw the southbound mail about eight hours late. Fireman says, "Casey, you’re runnin* too fast. You over-ran that signal the last station we passed.’’ Casey says, "Yes, I believe we’ll make it though. For she steams a lot better than ever I know." Casey says, "Fireman, don't you fret. Keep knockin’ at that fire-door, don’t give up yet. I’m going to run her till she leaves the rail. Or make it on time with the southbound mail." Around the curve and a-down the dump. Two locomotives were bound to bump. Fireman hollered, "Casey, it’s just ahead! We might jump and make it, but we’ll all be dead!” Around the curve he spied a passenger train. Rousing his engine, he caused the bell to ring. Fireman jumped off. but Casey stayed on. He’s a good engineer—but he’s dead and gone. Poor Casey Jones was always all right. For he stuck to his duty both day and night. They loved to hear the whistle of ole Num ber Three. As he rolled into Memphis on the ole I. C. Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain— They ain’t apart from a railroad train. Stories of brave men—noble and gran’— Belong to the life of a railroad man. Their song ended, they climb back on the “Panama,” which is soon hurtling through the misty dawn toward New Orleans. And thus it was that, 40 years later and on the scene of his death, tribute was paid to that “brave en gineer,” Casey Jones, who died in a wreck on the morning of April 30, 1900. An engineer in the passen ger service of the Illinois Central between Jackson, Tenn., and Can ton, Miss., he went out on another man’s run and made up an hour and a half’s lost time on a three- hour dash of 174 miles. His engine crashed into the caboose of a freight train that had just failed to clear the main line at the “north switch” near Vaughan and “Casey” Jones became a folksong hero. Born in Hickman, Ky., on March 14, 1864, John L. Jones gained his famous nickname from the fact that at one time in his youth he had lived in the town of Cayce, Ky. (pronounced “Kay-see”). When he applied for his first railroad job he gave Cayce as his home town and during his six years in train and en gine service on the Mobile and Ohio, it was natural that his fellow-work ers should call him “Casey” Jones. He entered the service of the Illi nois Central as a fireman in March, 1888, and was promoted to engi neer in February, 1890. \ Learn to Sew if Your Budget Is Limited—It’s Fun, Too! By CHERIE NICHOLAS TpHIS year the fashion picture is -*• literally packed with drama. What with a whirl of midwinter fes tivities and gala occasions in full swing one is almost sure to yearn for more than the usual amount of clothes glamour. The good news is that, by making sewing your hob by, you can easily manage to have an enchanting array without suffer ing a single budget twinge. Simply pick the pattern that measures up to your idea of a dream dress, get your material in hand and then dash off to your nearest local sewing center where expert help is cheerfully given in sewing short cuts and fashion tricks, at little or no expense. Fabric counters are literally bub bling over with an endless display of smart, inexpensive rayon jerseys, tweedy weaves that tailor beauti- fully, gorgeous taffetas and moires that look twice as expensive as they really are; velveteens in alluring pastel and brilliant jewel-toned col ors; handsome laces of every type from sheer to the new linen effects, which, for the most part, can be had for under a dollar a yard. This year a merry war is going on between traditional black-and-white and lush, ravishing colors like fuchsia, tur quoise, black plum, alarm red, to paz, gold and beige, Kelly green and seafoam tones and tints. For the twilight hour and its flat tering candlelight, there’s romantic elegance needed, and you will be equal to the occasion if you make a dinner dress which combines a long- sleeved, front-buttoned, long-torso basque top of black cotton lace with a shirred wide-spreading rayon moire skirt which repeats the black lace in a hip border inset after the manner of the gown which the fig ure seated in the foreground is wearing. And again your evening splendor will be definitely established in a mist-blue jersey dress that molds and tapers to your form in draped and flowing lines like those of the gown shown to the right in the trio of evening modes pictured above. Drapery treatments are very im portant and are outstanding this season. They are ever so easy to manipulate, even for the inexperi enced, with the aid of a new molded- to-you thermo-plastic dress form. With an exact reproduction of your figure before you, it requires no special gift to drape the folds of a material in a way that will most ef fectively dramatize your silhouette. Gay and inexpensive materials make the luxurious looking dinner •dress centered in the group above. There is style distinction reflected in the chrome yellow velveteen jacket that hangs with easy grace from broad-looking shoulders encrusted with importantly new embroidered motifs that are repeated on the pock ets. This jacket would be lovely with a candle-slim forest green crepe floor-length skirt. Believe it or not, the embroidered motifs that so defi nitely enhance this jacket were stitched up in practically no time on a modern sewing machine, and the finished job looks for all the world like fine handwork. The fashion suggestions above are destined to turn your “date” into a successful drama, and they will inspire repeat performances in the future. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) White Fur In keeping with the vogue for “winter white,” this season, comes the prediction from furriers that snow white lamb will prove one of the most popular furs of the season.

In the middle of it he stopped the young sinner. “Young man,” he said, “you ain’t confessin’—you’s braggin’.” A silent man often has a repu tation for knowing about ten times as mnch as he really does know. Assumed “Do you think you could learn to love me?” “Perhaps. But if I were a man, I’d hate to think I was an ac quired taste.” Well Described 'As Sandy walked slowly down the village street two of his old friends looked on sadly. “Man, Sandy's lookin’ awfu’ white and thin these days,” said the first. The second shook his head dolefully. “Ay, ye’re richt” he replied. “He’s fist like a bottle (’ milk wC shoes on!” The Same Again They’d been married long enough for the glamour to have faded, but she was a trier. On the eve of her birthday, she asked sweetly: “What are you going to give me for a birthday present tomorrow, darling?” “Nothing!” he replied curtly. „ “But, dearest,” she went on, the sweetness turning sour, “can’t you think of something original? You gave me that last year.” Clifton Fadiman, in his book, “Reading I’ve Liked,” warns the layman against spending all his time trying to keep up with the latest books. He tells about one of his old professors who sat be side a pert young thing at a dinner party. “Professor,” she piped up, “have you read so-and-so’s new novel?” He confessed he hadn’t. “Oh,” she said, “you’d better hurry—it’s been out over three months.” “Young lady,” he said, “have you read Dante’s ‘Divine Com edy’?” “Why, no.” “You’d better hurry—it’s been out over six hundred years.” Young Man’s Need It is not book learning youn^ men need, nor instruction about this or that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their ener gies, do a thing—“carry a mes sage to Garcia.”—Elbert Hubbard.
