The most sensible move the Santa
Fe railway company has made for
years was to issue orders prohibiting
tips from walters in dining cars and
eating stations. If a person failed to
tip one of these colored walters at the
first meal he is served, very little at
tention is paid him when he answered
the next call for dining car meals. In
fact, in a majority of cases, the GUS
toner is insulted if he don't respond
with the usual tip.

A lot of improved postal cars have
been put on the Southern Pacific. The
postal cars that have been in use on
this road were built years ago and
were without any of the modern con-
veniences. The new ones have no
platforms, thus doing away with the
blind baggage hobo. and the train rob
Der, who lies in wait for the engineer.
The cars are lighted with Pintsch gas.
n warmed with hot water pipes:
they are built heavier and stronger
than h old ones, and the interior Of
the car is better arranged and has the
modern ~conyeniences for handling the
mail. The life of the postal clerk is
much safer in these cars. and owing
to the conveniences his work is easier
than in the old ones.

progress for three months to deter
mine definitely the efficiency of cleo
trical lighting of santa Fe trains have
been completed, although there is
NOTHING TO announce regarding the re
SUIT of the tests. The reports Of those
in charge OF the same have been made
out and at some time in the future
