Guiding yotir
Children
Bad habits lead children
astray. Good habits guide
them safely into the path of charac
ter, uprightness and independence.
You can start them right by teach
ing them to save money. Set them
an example by saving yourself.
Make them admire thrift.
Once started, the saving habit helps
to form other good habits.
It provides experience for
them in handling their own
funds.
This start in the right direc
tion is but a simple step.
Bring children to the bank
when you start them to school.

How is This for October

son and dry for some time this looks
like it was out of the ordinary. Then

BLOCK SIGNAL SYS
TEM ON BURLINGTON
Trunk Line West of the Missouri
Biver Now Has 300 Miles Fa
cilitates Train Movements
Approximately 300 miles of the
Burlington lines west of the Missouri
river are now equipped with the)
automatic block signal system. The ;
main lines east of the river are now;
practically under the block system, j
The first modern automatic block
signal pystem installed on the lines j
west of the Burlington was between,
Akron and Denver, a distance of 112
miles. Since that time the system (
has been extended from Pacific Junc
tion by way of Omaha to Lincoln,'
Lincoln to Dorchester, Lincoln to
Grand Island and Oxford to McCook. j
The automatic block signal system!
enables the railroads to run a large
number of passenger and freight
trains between given points. In other j
words, it is considered the last word
in increasing the velocity of traffic.
Once another block system was in
service, but it did not prove nearly as
r.atisfactor as the new one. It wa3
from station to station and the j
blocks might be only eight miles,
apart or as distant as twenty-four j
miles apart. Lnder the modern sys
tem, the blocks may be placed as
close as two miles apart.
In time, the western lines of the;
railroad, ..or rather the main lines,
will be equipped with the block sys-
tem. The cost is estimated at $3,000 j
a mile to install. With the system
in proper operation a much greater
number of trains will be able to
travel within a certain mileage.
The signals are so arranged that
a tra.in cannot get by them without (
a warning. The Burlington also'
maintains an interlocking switch j
plant in the Lincoln yards similar to
the one at the union station in Kan-j
sas City, and which greatly facili-j
tates the movement of traffic in the
yards, but is so constructed that auy(
mistake made by the operator will ,
not cause any damage. It is the
only plant of its kind on the lines
west of the river. !
