haved as though this were his first train trip — which it was; but under the careful guidance of Irv Jaffe, Paikoff became a vet- eran traveler. In the dining car that afternoon, the travelers were surprised when they were again greeted by the same smiling host as on the previous train, and once again Head- waiter Pokorny took care of his select clien- tele. The chef, too, was the same. The dish that he served this time for the delectation of the passengers was called Doc ' s Dump- lings. At the next stop a representative of a well known chemical company boarded the train and to pass the time showed everybody samples of one of his products. It was a new plastic that Dr. Di Somma called di bubblio muctane. It had been synthesized by a 7, 11 addition across the double bagel- bond. The complexity of this explanation caused several people to jump up and leave. The last person out tripped on a benzene ring which lay in the aisle and fractured his leg, whereupon a Dr. Redden rushed in and flashing his First Aiders card, promptly went to work on the broken bone. In the midst of the first aid treat- ment, Calm Carter re-appeared on the scene. He had broken with Whimsical Wim- mer and decided to stay with the train for a short while. He explained to the rapt listeners several new techniques and pro- cesses of manufacturing. This brief speech was followed by an explanation on the pur- chase and economics of running a going concern by Calm Carter ' s legal adviser, Baffling Blank. For a little diversion, the fellows and girls went into the parlor car. A small crowd, gathered around a traveling saleswoman, attracted their attention. This vendor evi- dently had a gambling streak in her. Her wares consisted of fruit, seeds, nuts and assorted herbs, and she made the same offer to all potential customers. Identify the item you wish to purchase and it ' s yours at no cost, she said, but if you fail, you ' ll pay early. AND THEY DID! When Hec- tic Hart had disposed of her stock, she whipped out a DDT bomb and ran up and down the parlor car spraying and disin- fecting. Bacteria, ycu know, she ex- plained to the bewildered spectators. As the train started slowing down, the passengers rushed to the windows. An oil car pulled alongside and poured oil into the depleted tanks of the Diesel. Supervis- ing the operation was Taciturn Taub. He had checked the viscosity of the oil, taken its Sp G and ran a few purity tests until he was satisfied with the quality of the oil. Then, noting the interested group huddled at the window, he explained to them why his company ' s oil was not as toxic, if swal- lowed, as other brands. After showing the basic structure of the oil, he proceeded to show how this had been modified until the toxicity was low and the efficiency high. A commotion at the entrance of the car caused the crowd to shift their attention. Baker Brown had rushed into the car, still covered with flour, and was shrieking, Who stole my cookie mould? How can I do my woik without my cookie mould? He was finally quieted by Baffling Blank, who pointed out that he had no evidence for such wild accusations. Furthermore, Blank warned him, you ' re laying yourself 27

Ingenhuett, promptly bustled over and translated the meaningless jumble. The breakfast orders were promptly filled by an immaculate chef in a white cap who neatly sliced microscopic sections of beef, for the specialty of the day, Halsey ' s Hash, which he concocted with loving care. In a corner of the kitchen, his arms and face covered with flour, was Baker Brown, Halsey ' s chief cook and bottle-washer. There was an intent expression on his face as he elegantly kneaded and pounded the doughy mass into perfect spheres, cones and other shapes, with accuracy, neatnesb and dispatch. At approximately the mid-point of the trip, there was a brief interruption, due to war- time shortages (of manpower) and the conductor announced that the running time would be longer than originally scheduled; the engine was disconnected and the coach remained standing on a siding. It wasn ' t very long before a through train was flagged and stopped, the coach hooked on, and the journey resumed. It did not take long for the adventurers from the stalled train to mingle with those of the express to which they were joined. Their interests were similar, and the initial part of both expeditions had many points in common. The tall fellow wearing glasses made a willing fourth in the ever-lasting card game — Arnold Diamond ' s the name and pi- nochle ' s my game. The one person on the train who re- mained ignorant of the union of the two contingents was Ralph Saltzman. He re- mained asleep, blissfully unaware of his surroundings, probably worn out from shadow boxing. Shep Cantor cornered Al Fremont and started explaining to him the various attractions of a matinee perfor- mance. Seeing two well-proportioned men in one spot, Bernice Jacobson wormed her way into the lecture and listened enrap- tured. The bony race-track sharpy who looked as though he had a hanger in his jacket kept hovering over the red-headed Barbara Keenan. Jack London, why don ' t you be- have yourself, . she scolded. Take a pow- der, Jack, Irv Wahl suggested, whereupon the comic whipped out a BC and swallowed it, paper and all. The plumpish, young-looking fellow be- 26
