Nearly Fifty Years on Road.

Uniformed employees of an eastern railroad are being decorated with gold stars and bars on their coat sleeve. The star signifies 25 years’ continuous service and each of the bars five years. Probably the oldest division employee in point of service is Conductor Frank Norris of Brunswick, Md., who is wearing one star and four bars. On January 16 next he will have the bars taken off and another star added, making 5® years of service.
