Babe For 58 Years, Mighty Railroad Remembers The Little Fellow WSU Features. Every Memorial Day since 1888 a passenger train has come to an unscheduled stop on the lonely prairie near Elrod, S.

Other highlights of the event will be competition in "bomb dropping and spot landing, a mass parachute jump by local and the marriage of a couple aloft in a plane.

AIRPORTS ARE QUIETER The noise nuisance from low-flyin- g aircraft has been reduced substantially in many parts of the country, T. P. Wright, Civil Aeronautics administration head, reports in reviewe caming progress of the paign. Much of the annoyance can be avoided by changing the traffic patterns around airports and by pilot cooperation in using suitable power and propeller-pitc- h settings, Wright declares. In many cases the traffic pattern has been pltered to provide that planes travel over water, industrial districts or wastelands rather than over residential areas.

There have never been as many, this early in the season, able to move up with the big guns. The man still to beat is Williams. Ted has pleasant dreams of beating the 40 mark and possibly moving up into the 50 section. But, as the cheerful Mr. Durante puts it Everybody wants to get in the act.

The trouble is few athletes realize the importance of their underpinning, according to most of the trainers we have talked to, and only a small percentage ever get their legs in shape. The only exception is the golfer who has to walk from 5 to 10 miles a day, through each single and double round. Greatest offenders are ballplayers and fighters You find few who are willing to get their legs in shape, through the road work needed for this purpose. Ty Cobb lasted for 24 seasons, largely because he hunted almost every day between seasons, usually moving at top walking speed. The same is true of Babe Ruth, who lived on his legs in the off season, either in the hunting field or on some golf course.

The mans name was William F. Chambers, better known as Big Bill Chambers, and the small boy is known only as The Little FelBack in 1888, Big Bill was a low. brakeman on the train hauling track ballast for repair work under way in the area. The Little Felson of the low was the couple who had charge of the kitchen and mess cars for the construction gang. Every day when Bills train pulled into the railroad camp, the boy ran to meet him and Chambers would spend hours telling him tales of the big cities and of railroading. Then, in August, the boy became seriously ill and died. He was buried and there along the right-of-wBill promised the boys parents he would take care of the grave until they were able to return and remove the body. They never returned, but Chambers kept his promise even when he became freight conductor and later passenger conductor. Section crews helped him by keeping the grass and weeds away, from the spot. Someone put up a boulder to mark the grave. Eventually Bill reached retirement age; yet he still visited the grave regularly on Memorial Day as long as he was able. Others took up the task for him and continued the practice even after his death in 1939 Vince J. Ford, conductor, married Chambers daughter. Every Memorial Day Ford has taken Chambers place, although he, too, now is retired. The flowers are sent by his wife and Mrs. Lydia Benson, another daughter of Chambers, both of whom reside at Redfield, S. D. Together with the train crews, these people have kept alive the friendship of Big Bill and The Little Fellow. For 58 years the Chicago and North Westerns train 106 has stopped on the prairie near Elrod, as it will again this year. Passengers have waited and wondered.
