REMINISCENCES 0F SIGNAL CON-STRUCTION WORK

T. R. PARnisH, BE. ’13

It may be of interest to some of those whoare looking forward to graduation and sub—sequent employment to learn something ofthe life of engineering graduates engaged inconstruction work.The experiences of the writer, though in

a special branch of engineering, are, perhaps,typical of tliOse other apprentices engagedin various phases of engineering work.My first position, which was secured

through the kindness of Professor Browne,was with the General Railway Signal Com—pany, of Rochester, N. Y. When I was readyto commence work, I corresponded with theresident. engineer of the company in NewYork City. He directed me to report to hisgeneral foreman in Atlanta, Ga.

I reached Atlanta on August 1, 1914, andfound the local headquarters, consisting ofa small wooden “shack,” serving as an office.and a portable sheet—iron warehouse, locatedin the outskirts of the city. The generalforeman had his assistant foreman, clerk,and several subforemen, who came with himfrom a northern railway on which they hadbeen installing automatic signals. A numberof local white laborers were employed to helpwith the unloading of material.When I reported for work I was directed

to make arrangements for board and lodgingand come prepared for work the followingday. However, I had my overalls with me,and as it took only a short time to make thenecessary arrangements for boarding, Istarted to work unloading signal poles thesame day. I was informed that my rate ofpay would be twenty—two and one—half centsper hour, and that the working day wouldbe ten hours.When the signal poles were placed on the

ground, they were fitted with ladders andA few days later thereloaded on cars.

services of a work—train were secured and thepoles were distributed along the: railway,

THE RED AND WHITE

while at the same time the sand, stone, andcement for making the concrete foundationsfor the poles were unloaded. Next came thedigging of the holes for the foundations;some of these holes were five or six feet indepth. While digging them it was oftennecessary to loosen large stones, cut buriedcross—ties and lift them out. Crouched atthe bottom of a six—foot hole, shut off fromany breeze that might. be stirring, while theAugust sun shines directly overhead is not,I must confess, a very delightful sensation.But I did not mind after a few days—I hadbecome very familiar with shovels before Iwent. to college. After we had dug a numberof holes, some of us were started to mixingthe concrete. This was even harder workthan digging holes. When a person standsin a stooped position for several hours on aboard on which the concrete is mixed, lift-ing the wet mixture with a short-handledshovel, his backbone feels as though it hasseveral knots tied in it.As the work progressed, additional men

were employed, and other apprentices joinedus. K. M. Fetzer, R. A. Gill, and “Zeb”Taylor of the A. and M. 1914 Class, aBoston Tech. man, a Colgate graduate, anda student from the University of Alabamaarrived at different times. Seven apprenticeswere with our force at one time, and, ascan be imagined, we found time for pleasure.Rainy days and evenings were not dull withso many congenial companions. I roomedwith the boy from Boston Tech, and Ithink I enjoyed his New England accent asthoroughly as he did our Southern brogue.Seven or eight months later I met the Col-gate graduate, who was then conducting anautomobile business in Rochester, N. Y.,and he informed me that he had more actualenjoyment while in signal work than at anyother time he could remember, and that hedid not mind the hardwork, but thoughtonly of the pleasant times he had with theboys.Near the end of August, our clerk de—

cided he would like to take part in theconstruction work and was transferred to thefield force. I was selected to fill the vacancy

left by him in the office, and had bestowedupon me the clerk’s official title of “theboss’s paper weight.”When I was transferred to the office,

I immediately felt the need of business train—ing and a better working knowledge ofEnglish. The general foreman was out inthe field supervising the construction worka large part of the time, and left much ofthe correspondence and many of the variousreports to be handled by the clerk. I starteda business course and devoted two eveningsa week to it until I left Atlanta in January,1915. The clerk, however, was not entirelyconfined to the office. I was allowed abouthalf of the day for lifting transformers,“skinning” wire, greasing, repairing andshining the motor cars, or other light diver—sions. I suppose that I must have handledseveral carloads of transformers, switch-boxes, scrap—iron, lumber, etc., while on theAtlanta contract.The life of the signahnan is not devoid of

thrills. One day I went out with the assist—ant general foreman to carry some tools andwater to a force of men about thirty milesfrom the city. Our motor car was runningalong smoothly at a rate of about twentymiles per hour, when we both looked aroundat once and saw a fast passenger train aboutfifty yards behind us. The foreman threwon the brake, we scrambled off and draggedthe car from the track (it was a rule of theSignal Company that if a motor car wasstruck by a train those in charge would beinstantly discharged) as the engine rushedby us, all sparks, steam, and smoke. Itlooked as large as three ordinary locomotivesto us, I guess When we stopped to fan,think, and smooth our hair, which must havebeen standing on ends, we found that wehad lifted from the track, a motor carweighing six hundred and fifty pounds, to—gether with an additional load of a ten-gallon keg of water and about one hundredpounds of tools. It is‘needless to say thatwe could not get the car back on the trackwithout removing all of the load and liftingone end at a time.

Another thrill, or I might say shock, of

THE BED AND WHITE 125

my signaling days will never be forgotten.We were placing ground-rods around a newsubstation. These rods were about six feetin length and each had a wire, several feetof which was swinging loose, attached to itsupper end. As I raised one of them abovemy head to jab the pointed end into theearth, the swinging wire flew up and camein contact with one of the conductors of thetransmission line leading dovvn into the sub-station. The power had previously been cutoff, but I got the full benefit of the staticcharge.

I look back with much pleasure to thelittle I learned in regard to constructionwork and cost accounting, and to the friend—ships that were formed.

“Zeb” Taylor, poor fellow, contractedpneumonia shortly before Christmas Day,1914, and died several days later; R. A. Gillwent into telephone work; K. M. Fetzer be-ing the only one of our Atlanta A. and M.party now with the General Railway SignalCompany. His success has been rapid. Heis in the company’s Brooklyn, N. Y., office,and he is, so I was informed by one of hissuperior officers, proving to be one of themost capable men the company has ever had.

Signal work is hard and the pay is poorto start, as is the case with most other ap-prenticeship courses, but there are a largepercentage of the railroads in the UnitedStates that have not as yet installed auto-matic signals, and there should be an in-creasing demand for signalmen and goodopportunities for college men in this branchof engineering.

REPAIR OF THE FRACTURE OF BONESOF THE DOMESTIC FOWL*

BY B. F. KAUPPIn charge Office and Laboratory of Poultry Investigations andPathologY. N. C. Experiment. Station.ABSTRACTED BYJ. E. IVEYAssistant in Poultry Investigations N. C. Experiment Station.

This work is divided into three groups asfollows: First, the structure and develop-ment of the bones of the domestic fowl;second, the kinds of fractures and the repara-tive processes; third, means of control ofthe bird and care of the fracture.

I. THE STRUCTURE OF BONE1n the gross study of bones we find that

in the limbs as the legs and wings they formlevers which have to sustain the weight ofthe body and confer the power of locomotion,»

at the same time motion it is divided into anumber of small bones. As an example wehave the patella of the knee and the twocarpal bones of the birds wrist.Where the principal requirement is that

tubes and air sacs. Some of the bronchi orair tubules communicate with air sacs orbladder—like structures located at the anteriorthoracic region, others at the diaphragmaticregion. Many of the bones of the fowl, asthe head, vertebra and humerus, contain aircavities, the air sacs sending extensions intothese cavities.The bone of fowls nearly always develops

This article goes minutely into the histo—logical structure of the bone of the domesticfowl, but as it is essentially the same, withthe exceptions given above, as that of

mose with the processes of other cells.

mammals the reader is referred to any his-tology.

II. REPARA'I‘IVE PROCESSES OF BONEA fracture of bone may be defined as a

sudden solution of continuity in a bone.The cause of fractures in a fowl are: First,injury or trauma. Receiving a blow as froma stick or stone or stepped upon by a largeanimal as a horse or cow or by gun shotwound. Second, muscular action. Bones aremost resistant to traction, next to pressureand less resistant to flexion or bendng andleast of all to torsion. External violence maybe direct or indirect. In fracture from directViolence the bone is broken at or near thespot where violence is applied. As a rulethe soft structures surrounding the fractureare more or less injured and more seriousresults may follow than in fractures by in—direct violence. In this kind of fracture thebone may be ccmminuted or fissured and per-haps driven into vital organs, as the liver orlungs, if the fracture be near these regions,or into the brain if in the cranial region.

External violence is the most commOn

cause of fracture in the fowl. The mostcommon bones that are fractured are thoseof the legs, and next those of the wings.

Fractures may be classified as follows:First, simple fractures are those breaks inthe continuity of the bone where the skinis not broken. Second, compound, also calledopen or complicated fractures, are thosewhere the break is accompanied by'a breakthrough the skin and soft parts extending tothe seat of fracture.The next topic this article takes up is the

kinds of fractures, but as they are essentiallysimilar to those of the human or mammalthe reader is referred to either a human orveterinary surgery.

p A series of studies was made in thislaboratory of repaired fractures of fowls oflong standing, after which a series was madeof the nature and rapidity of repair offractured bones of the domestic fowl. Thebirds were chloroformed and the bones, frac—tured and set while the bird was still underthe anesthesia. The metatarsus and ulnawere selected. The appliance that was usedto hold the bones in place was cotton, oneinch cloth bandage, wooden splints and glue.At the end of each experiment the bird waschloroformed and the bone removed. Aftera physical examination, the bone was sec-tioned longitudinally, photographed and thelesion of one—half cut out and placed inten per cent hydrochloric acid solution forforty—eight hours for decalcification and thenpassed through three changes of absolute.alchohol, then alchohol and ether equalparts, then imbedded in celloidin and sec-tioned. The sections were stained in hema—toxylon and eosin and clarified in oil ofcedar or beechwood creosote, and mountedin balsam for microscopic study.

In the study of a fracture of the metatar—sus of a Single Comb Rhode Island Redcockerel of eight days standing the follow-ing picture presented itself. The gross speci-men showed a mottled reddish—white zonein the region of the fracture, indicating thatimmediately following the fracture there wasan e‘xtravesation of blood which had collectedaround and between the fragments and be-

tween the ends of the compact portion ofthe bone and had also invaded, to a certainextent, the marrow cavity. The fluid at thistime did not give evidence of advanced or-ganization and was rather jelly-like, allowingthe fractured ends of the bone to fall apartby slight traction. There was present theinitial hyperemia of repair. This hyperemiawas most marked in the periosteum. Leuco-cytes had invaded this part, as shown by mi-croscopic examination, whose function it isto digest and remove the detritus resultingfrom the injury. Proliferative changes'hadtaken place in the connective tissue and infact this was observed in cases of only forty-eight hours standing. The most active cellu-lar multiplication was in connection with thefibrous structure of the periosteum. Thisforms the germinative or repairative tissuefrom which arises the osteoblasts. Thenature of the new formed structure wasthat of connective tissue and is plainlyshown in the photomicrographs in theoriginal article. The first picture shows thecommencement of this organization intotrabecular—like arrangement forming theperiosteal callus and the provisional plug.It can be seen that this has been formedand poured out from the periosteum. Thisfield shows many fibroblasts and is packedwith osteoblasts and osteoclasts and in stillother fields of the trabeculae a homogeneousmatrix with formative bone cells in theirlacunae. The repair is apparently one ofintramembranous bone formation withislands of new formed bone at the end ofthe fifth day.In another study of a fractured metatarsus

of thirteen days standing in a one year oldSingle Comb White Leghorn hen, who wasof low vitality, the reparative processes weremore tardy than in a section of a similarcase in which the bird was in good stateof health; after the metatarsus was removedit could with considerable force be madeto spring which was not the case with thelatter specimen. Both birds showed the re-parative processes far enough advanced tohave the appliance or cast removed withsafety. From these two studies it is rather

128 THE RED AND WHITE

indicative that repair in the bone of thedomestic fowl is quite rapid and that twoweeks is ample time to allow the bandageor cast to remain on. The illustrations bothphotographic and photomicrographic showthe provisional, intermediary calluses andthe provisional plug. In all there are 14illustrations, six of which are Roentgen—graphs.III. THE TREATMENT or FRACTURES AND CARE

OF THE BIRDIn simple or so called subcutaneous frac—

ture of bones the fragments of the boneshould be placed in perfect apposition. Thenormal shape of the bone should be restoredso far as possible. The loose arrangement ofthe muscles in the fowls makes this an easytask.The next step is to apply apparatus hold—

ing the parts firmly in place While the repar—ative processes are being accomplished. Inapplying the apparatus normal functions,as circulation and nerves, must be safe—guarded. After the setting is complete thebird must be provided with clean coop anda grassy run where other birds will not inter—fere. Good food and water and an occasionalexamination to determine if all is well withthe bone undergoing repair.

If the fracture is on a feathered partthe feathers that are in the region to bemanipulated should be removed. Next applya thin layer of cotton, carefully holding thefractured parts in the proper position, thenapply about three thin narrow splints ofwood of proper length in such a manner asto not later chafe the leg and make a sorespot on the skin. Now apply a one inchcotton bandage at the same time saturatingwith glue. In a few hours the liquid gluewill become hard and the parts then will befirmly held in position.At the end of fourteen or fifteen days care-

fully remove the bandage. Confine the birdfor a few days longer and then allow to runin its accustomed quarters.As to feed, for the first two or three

days after injury give easily digested foodsuch as bread soaked in milk or wet mash.Later, some grain may be fed but Only

two light feeds a day should be given whilethe bird is in confinement. Pure clean watershould be kept before the bird at all times.

SUMMARYA series of 21 cases of fractures were

studied in the domestic fowl. It was foundthat at the end of the fifth day islands ofbone tissue had begun to form.The repair of fractures in the domestic

fowl is intramenibranous.The periostezal, endosteal and intermediary

calluses show bone formation in trabecularlike arrangement.By the end of the thirteenth day the

major portion of the bone tissue had formedand was found complete by the twentiethday—a homogeneous matrix with typicalbone cells in their lacunae.

The structure of compact bone in thedomestic fowl is similar to that of mam—malia.The appliance used to hold the broken

bones in apposition in the domestic fowl maybe removed with safety by the end of thethirteenth day.

LETTER FROM FORMER A. AND M. BOYWHO IS NOW IN PHILIPPINE

ISLANDS

CAPIZ, P. I., November 16, 1916.Editor of the RED AND WHITE,

West Raleigh, N. C.DEAR MR. EDITOR :—Now maybe I should

not be so formal, but I really do not knowwho is editor of the college magazine, andI have taken this opportunity to tell theSeventeens something of my whereabouts.

I left America from Vancouver, B. 0.,May 18, 1916. sailing on the CanadianPacific steamer Empress of Asia; aftereleven days I reached Yokohoma, Japan. Ispent four days sight seeing in Japan andthen sailed for Hong Kong, China, where Ispent two days listening to the unknowntOngues of the East after which I again tookpassage for Manila, P. I., where I thought Ishould rest for quite a while for I was reallyweary gazing at the queer strangers of theOrient. But I did not get to stay long inManila, for after a week of listening to lec—tures and note—taking I learned that I was

’to again set sail for some island in a moreremote part of the world. On July 16, 1916,I landed in a little town about six hundredmiles south of Manila, which was to be myhome for the following two years.

It would be quite hard for me to telljust how I felt when I first arrived inCapiz. Everybody was on the streets andthe little native string band was playing

some tune I thought I had heard. But mysurprise was intense when I started to leavethe boat, for the band and throng of laugh—ing boys and girls followed me. Two boysseized my suitcase and about ten seized mytrunk. and were walking along in front ofme. But I have since learned that the boysand men were anxious to earn a coin bybeing handy and that it is customary forthe town band to welcome Americans totheir thown with their best music. Almostevery week the little band comes and rendersits best selections under your window. HomeSweet Home is a favorite serenade selection.I have heard them play Dixie Land. Thenatives learned these pieces from the Ameri-can soldiers.

I am in the industrial school work here.The shops are very well equipped. The boysmake baskets, rugs, hats, furniture, schooldesks, and many other useful and prettythings. I have taught them how to makechairs and chests.The climate here is delightful, the average

annual temperature is about 85 degrees. Alltropical fruits grow wild. The farmers raiserice, cocoanuts, coffee, hemp and sugar. Thechildren as a rule are eager to learn and are -obedient. The feeling toward Americans iscordial. The Filipino people earnestly de—sire National independence. They thinkthey are. the best people in the Orient.They hate the Japanese. Most of the youngpeople can speak English.Very best wishes to you and all the

Seventeens.Oordially yours,

D. A. MONROE.

P. S.—I only get. mail from II. S. once amonth. You may be sure it is anxiouslywaited for. I have written a little poemwhich I am contributing to the RED ANDWHITE, entitled:

A LETTER FROBI HOl\IEIt isn’t all joy and play

In the land of the rising sun,For the task to do next day

Is larger than the one just done.

THE BED AND WHITE

But the pleasure in teaching the backwardOr the joy of an evening’s roam

Is not so dear to a soul out here 'As the thoughts of a letter frOm home.

The Carabao lounges at wallow,The Zebu carries his load,

The goo-goo swings his rice on his backAnd takes to the open road,

The tide streams back to the oceanWith burdens of rubbish and foam

And from over the sea cornes streaming tome

The thoughts of a letter from home.

I delight in a stroll thru the jungle;I revel in moonlight at sea,

But even the strums of the banjoLose all their charms for me.

Whenever the liner from FriscoSteams out past Corregidor’s dome;

I stand and wait at the seawall’s gate,For I’m longing for a letter from home.

I’ll leave my “chow” uneaten,I’ll leave my book unread,

I’ll sleep no noonday “siesta”And rouse from the cot or bed;

I’ll gaze no more at the transient starsThat gleam from Zenith’s dome,

I’ll leave my boat on the river afloatIf you’ll bring me a letter from home.

GUILFORD AND A. AND M. DEBATE

On the evening of December 12, the pre—liminary debate was held to select thedebaters to meet Guilford College. The fol-lowing men were in the preliminary contest:Messrs. T. M. White, R. C. Whitley, A. S.Cline, J. B. Hunter, “I. K. Scott, and D. S.Coltrane. After a very hot discussion thejudges, Dr. Harrison, Dr. Summey and Prof.IIinkle, decided that D. S. Coltrane andW. K. Scott would represent the college, withA. S. Cline as alternate. Dr. Harrison inrendering the decision pronounced it by farthe best preliminary debate held here. Healso spoke of the wonderful progress madein debating in the past two years.

Guilford College selected their debatersbefore the holidays. Their representativesare Messrs. Newlin and Valentine, both ofwhom are members of the senior class. Thesemen are considered as good debaters, Mr.Valentine being a graduate in law at WakeForest, obtaining his license to practice in1915. Mr. Newlin has been a member of hisclass debating team for four years.The A. and M. men, however, are ex—

perienced debaters. Mr. Scott has been onthe team for the past two years againstAlabama and Georgia universities. He wasgiven credit for winning the debate againstGeorgia. last year. Mr. Coltrane was onthe team against Alabama, helping win aunanimous decision. Both of these men have

their in debate. Scotthaving won his letter two years ago, is nowentitled to the A. M. C. and two stars.Coltrane having won his monogram last

year, has a star coming to him this year asan intercollegiate debater.From the experience of these four debaters

we must conclude that when they meet inthe Normal College auditorium at Greens—boro February .17. there will be a livelydiscussion before the decision is rendered.

versity is Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, and by acoincidence which is going to prove a happyone for those who love the stories of the lateSidney Porter (0. Henry), Dr. Smithgrew up as a boy with Porter in Greensboro,N. C. Because of this, and also because ofDr. Smith’s own. gifts as a writer and ananalyst, it is peculiarly fitting that he shouldhave undertaken the work which has occu—pied him for several years past, the result ofwhich will be given to us this month in theform ‘The 0. Henry Biography.’

“Dr. Smith was Roosevelt exchange pro-fessor at the University of Berlin in 1910-11,having the chair of American History andInstitutions, and because he had met theKaiser on more than one occasion, and alsobecause he has such an affection and admi—ration t'or the German people, and knowsthem so well, I was anxious to talk with himabout the Germans in the light of the war.

“Professor Smith’s attitude regarding thewar is, I take it. much like that of a man Iknow who is the son of German parents. andwho, having been brought up in the UnitedStates, but in a German tradition, finds him—self in a state of civil war within, owing todifferences between his heart and his head.

“I asked Professor Smith if he were pro-German.

“ ‘No,’ he replied. ‘I can’t convince my-self that Germany is right, or that she isgoing to win.’ I felt that it hurt him to saythat Germany was not right, that it hurt himto have to think so. And he added: ‘Butthat does not affect my impressions of theKaiser’s personality. I talked with himtwice while I was in Berlin, and upon thesecond occasion under very delightful cir-cumstances, for I was invited to dinner atthe palace at Potsdam, and was the onlyguest, the Kaiser, Kaiserin, and PrincessVictoria Luise being present.

“ ‘The Kaiser is, of course, a very mag-netic man. His eyes are his most remark—able feature. They are very large, brilliant,and sparkling, and he rolls them in a man-ner most unusual. While he is always theking and the soldier, he has a genial andcharming manner. One might expect a manin his position to be blasé, but that, most ofall, is what he is not. He is like a boy in hisvitality and vividness, and he has, in thebest sense, a great and persistent intellectualcuriosity. It is this, I think,'which has sooften caused him to be compared with Col—onel Roosevelt. Both would like to knowall things, and both have had, and have eX-ercised, more perhaps than any other twoliving men, the power to bring to themselvesthe central figures in all manner of worldevents, and thus learn at first hand, fromacknowledged authorities, about the thingsthat interest them—which is to say, every-thing.

“ ‘He frankly admires America. I don’tmean that he said so for the sake of courtesyto me. but that he has—or did have then—an immense and rather romantic interest in

A great many Germans usedAmerica holds

this country.to resent this trait in him.in his mind the same romantic position thatthe idea of monarchy does in our minds. Imean that the average American goes forromance to stories of monarchy, but that theKaiser, being used to the monarchial idea,finds his romance over here. (I am, ofcourse, speaking of him as he was five or sixyears ago.) He wished to come to America,but will never be able to do so, since German

And, perhaps because helaw forbids it.

THE RED AND WHITE

cannot come, America is the more a sort ofdream to him.

“ ‘He asked me about some of the thingsin Berlin which I had noticed as being dif—ferent from things at home, and when Imentioned the way that history was keptalive in the very streets of Berlin, his eyesdanced, and he said that was one of thethings he had tried to accomplish by theerection of the numerous monuments whichhave been placed in Berlin during his reign.He told me of other means by which historywas kept alive in Germany: among themthat every officer has to know in detail thehistory of his regiment, and that Germanregiments always celebrate the anniversariesof their great days.

“ ‘He speaks English without an accent,though he might say that he spoke it withan English accent. He told me that he hadlearned English before he learned German,and had also caused his children to learn itfirst. He reads Mark Twain, or had readhim, and he enjoyed him, but he said thatwhen he met Mark Twain it was only withthe greatest difficulty that he could get himto talk at all. He subscribes, he told me, toHarper’s Mengaging, and he is in the habit ofreading aloud to his family short stories in

I33

English. He admires the American shortstory, and I remember that he declared:“The Americans know how to plunge intoa short story. We Germans are too long-winded.” ’“When Professor Smith talks about the

Kaiser you say to yourself: ‘I know that itis growing late, but I cannot bear to leaveuntil I have heard the rest of this’; whenhe drifts presently to 0. Henry you say thesame; and so it is always, no matter whathis subject may be. At last, however, thegrandfather’s clock in the hall below hisstudy sends up a stern message which is notto be mistaken, whereupon you arise reluc-tantly from your comfortable chair, spill thecigar ashes out of your lap onto the rug,dust off- your clothing, and take your leave.Nor is your regret at departing lessened bythe fact that you will not see the University, 4or Professor C. Alphonso Smith, or Mrs.Smith again, because you are leaving Char—lottesville upon the morrow. So it must al—ways be with the itinerant illustrator andwriter. They are forever finding new andlovely scenes only to leave them; forevermaking new and charming friends only topart'with them, faring forth again into theunknown.”
