. Vi M THE 102® E] There is Talbot who has bought out the Herman Aiulrac Son Electric Co. and Currie who has been superintendent of that place for several years. He was telling me the other night, however, that he is going into partner- ship with Talbot the first of next month. Then 1 asked Cole what he was doing. Well he said, Sutherland and myself have a pretty fair business here in Chicago. We bought the Illinois Chemical Works in West Chicago. Then I asked him if he knew what had become of Bauer. He said the last he had heard of him he was president of the Idaho State University. Cole also said he had received a letter from Grosso not long ago and that he had a fine position as consulting electrical engineer for the Duluth Iron Mining Incorporation. Just then Sutherland asked, Who is that fine looking gentleman over there? He looks familiar to me, but I can’t just place him. At that lie turned around and we all recognized him. It was Sussmilch, who came over and shook hands with us and we asked him what he was doing in that uniform. Well, he said. “I am making men and soldiers out of School of Engineering students.” “Oh. I sec you are the military instructor at the School of Engineering.” “Yes.” he said, ‘T can sign my name as Major Sussmilch and not feel an after effects at all. I am not the only major at school, however. There is Major Rhynard. He is my assistant.” “By the way. Major, do you know what has become of Ferrell?” “Why yes. 1 received a letter from him not long ago. He is Dean of the Boston Technical College.” “Say, Major, you remember Hendricks, don’t you? Well, he has a fine position as general sales manager for the General Electric C.o.” “Well, he always did like to talk. I expect he is a fine salesman.” “Oh yes, there is Krause and Fitzsimmons. They are in partnership in a large wholesale electrical goods house here in Chicago. At this moment one of the train callers started in singing his song. I tried to catch the names of the towns, but all I could understand was Pennsylvania train on track 4. So I told the fellows that I would leave them as that was my train.” “Have another cigar before you go,” said Nelson, so I took another cigar and shook hands with them and caught my train for home. But daddy who is this one here with such a funny name? Oh, that is William Juuti. I nearly forgot him. Listen son. do you re- member that picture show where we saw that big parade, and a man riding in a fine carriage drawn by four magnificent horses? Well that man was Juuti. He went back to his own country where a short time afterwards he was appointed by the governor general of Finland to a place in the senate. What about yourself daddy? Here is your picture. Well son there isn't much to say about myself. I guess my old nickname of Sec. will always stay with me. for I shall be promoted to secretary of the Wcstinghouse Electric Co. the first of July.

 | .-ras 11920 . «wawmM V . — 11, f PROPHECY Clyde M. Daniels Dec. 27, 1930. 7:30 p. m. Well I am back home again with my wife and family. My wife is sitting on the arm of my chair and our little daughter is on my knee, and a fine little girl, eight years old the day before Thanksgiving. Over there by the library table is our son curled up in a chair, as usual, reading a book of some kind. Looking up at my wife I asked her if sonny still had about half of the public library up in his room. Answering me she .said that he had and that she could get him to do little more than read. So I questioned him thus, 5 “Well, son, what you are reading tonight?” “I am just looking at the pictures in this old E. M. F. that 1 found down in the library. I saw your pictures in it and started to read some of these funny nicknames and things. “Say Daddy, just think 1 will be sixteen next June. I'll soon be ready to go to the School of Engineering won’t I? “Yes, just as soon as you are through high school you may go to Milwau- kee and take a course in electrical engineering.” “I saw several of my old school mates last Saturday in Chicago. “Bring the book here so we can all sec the pictures and I will tell you about them. I came hurrying into the Union station, glanced at the clock, and saw that it was just 8:43. Then I walked over to the bulletin board and I saw that the Manhattan Limited had left at 8:15, so there I was with no other train out of there until 10:30, so T started walking around the station not paying attention to anybody, iust thinking how disappointed you and mother would be if I shouldn’t be on that train. Just as I was passing one of the seats someone pushed a traveling bag directly in front of me and of course my feet had to get all tangled up in it and I fell flat on the floor right there in the station. Well I wasn’t in the best of humor when I got up. not knowing whether to laugh or get angry, for there were three men in the seat who were cer- tainly making a laughing stock of me. Well I just stood there for a few seconds and looked at them before I recognized who they were. I think they saw that I wasn’t laughing very much when one of them jumped up, and grabbed my hand and just about shook it off. Now who do you think it was? It was one of those fellows whose picture you see there in that book. Nelson, C.olc and Sutherland. Nelson pulled out a gold cigar case and gave each of us a cigar. Well we lit our cigars and after taking a few good draws I found I had never smoked such a good cigar in my life. Nelson ‘I said,’ how can you smoke such high priced cigars as these? Oh, he replied. I never pay any attention to the price, I just smoke what I like best. Well old top what kind of a job have you got any way that you can be so careless with your money? Well he said, I am still with the T. M. E. R. L. Co. Yes. I came on up the ladder from conductor to superintendent of traffic. Yes there arc three more of the old class yet in Milwaukee. McCoy is still with the T. M. E. R. L. Co. Say that guy has the world beat when it comes to efficiency. He is chief engineer at the Oneida street power house and every machine and instrument is working at a rate of 99.75% perfect. Every new piece of machinery incoming is given the hard test and if it falls below 99% efficient he won’t keep it. Even his men have an efficiency record of 98.5%. Page Two Hundred Thirty-four
