Foolish Questions Make Conductor Encyclopedia

Methodist Minister Worst of All, According to Sidney Smith,

SF Rube Goldberg ever runs out of material for his cartoon, Foolish Question No. thousands upon thousands, he should become a railroad conductor. Thus avows Sidney S. Smith, 1467 Fairfield Ave., who has worked for the Pennsylvania system fortyfive years, thirty-eight of which has been spent at “conductorlng” between St. Louis and Indianapolis. 11l that time "Sid” has learned some things about human and is willing to confide his knowledge. "A conductor would l\ave to be a walking encyclopedia, chucked full of facts, If he answered all the questions asked him,” declared "Sid.” "But the most foolish of all Is "Will we get to St. Louis on time? How does God, man, or the devil know when we will get there?” But Methodist Ministers! "Which gives you the most trouble, men or women?” he was asked. “A Methodist minister," he promptly replied. "He will get out In the aisle, squirm, ask questions, talk, and do countless other things most people don’t think about. It seems to be characteristic of the denomination.” Since a fellow-conductor supported his assertion, it might be decided that Methodlßt ministers have an extraordinary endowment of the fluid known as "pep.” Prohibition is a big help to conductors, he declared, as drunks give little trouble in these days of highpriced liquor. Men vs. Women in Fanes Sid Is portly, but not porkiy. Geniality fairly radiates from his whole 200 and some pounds. His favorite topic of conversation is his fifteen-months-old granddaughter which he declares la “some kid.” "For the most part men and women act about the same, though," he continued. "Except for one thing. If a women's fare is an odd amount, she will dig through powder puffs, receipts and rouge boxes until she gets the exact change, but a man
