article in the May issue of the Review.
TO handle the travelling public is one of
the hardest jobs that can be found today.
Think the following over: one having
number of people to give service and each
with different temperaments, there is where
one knows that discretion is the better part
of valor. Many men have lost their tempers
and sometimes their jobs, for the want of
tact. With a porter he has three things to
look forward to- first, he must obey the Com
oanys Instructions; second, he must not
displease passengers; and thirdly, he must
have the good will Of all; even though the
person wanted something that seems unrea-
sonable there is where the porter is called
upon to show discretion He is called upon
to treat both parties alike and yet not to be
d'spleasing to either. Day after day
service porter finds new things that confront
him and day by day he is called upon to
show tact and diplomacy; he must be physc-
ally and mentally fit. l know that all men
in regular service will agree with me; to be
cOmmendable porter, one needs to bring
all reasonable energies to bear Speaking
Of myself, at times things arise that only
God can tell where words of emergencies
spring from. Time and time again l sit and
think the matter over to see the many diff
ferent classes of people that comprise the
travelling public TO deal with lnreason-
able people, | find it wise plan to always
think twice and weigh my words before ex-
pressing myself. Things said or done with
out previous study most generally hurt. To
be efficient we must always be on the job
watching and listening The good things
pass us but once in lifetime and if we
are asleep when it passes by, then we have
lost our chance.
The Pullman porter years ago had not
these conditions to contend with. The service
had not been standardized as today It was
merely the beginning of a successful end. In
the old days, if porter could polish shoes
or answer a bell, there was little else re-
CURED. Today it is vastly different He
must have some knowledge in the mechanism
Of the car; he must read and write well:
in fact, he finds nothing so valuable to him
in his daily task as education Education
has caused him to be thrifty, fitted many
for a successful business career and today
| know several porters who can write
check in four figures and the only remark
able thing about it is-not one Of them got
it by playing Uncle Tom.-Pullman Porters'

RECONSTRUCTION
OF EUROPE HARD
ON MAP MAKERS.

PARIS.-(C Correspondence of Asso-
cihted Press) )-Draughtsmen have
been keeping the map of Europe
abreast of the decisions of the peace
conference while the work has been
going on. After the peacemakefs have
finished their task mapmakers will
still have more work to do recording
interior changes in some of the newly
outlined countries, due to the upheavaI
of reconstruction.
Changes have already begun in
France with decree by M. elemental,
minister of commerce, setting up sew
enteen new economic regions" in the
republic. This is first step toward
the decentralization of the economic
life of the country, with the object of
giving different sections that have
diverse interests wider scope for To-
cal initiative in the utilization of the
resources that are particular to each
of them. 1t may eventually develop
into a most radical political reform.
The new economic regions will
have for their Capitals Paris, Lille,
Nancy, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Amiens.
Rouen, Caen, Nantes, Brest, Limoges,
Toulouse, Montpelier, Grenoble, Lyons
and Clermont Ferrand. Economic re-
gions are still to be formed for Alsace-
Lorraine and for the region just south
of Paris. There will eventually be
about twenty in all, corresponding in
number to the military departments.
Nothing more is contemplated for
the moment in this reform than a
consultative function by bodies in each

manufacturers and business men an
opportunity to cooperate with the
government in the settlement of ques-
tions of special interest to their re-
spective regions.
/ There is on the calendar of the

much farther. 1t proposes the subst1-

the eighty-seven department into
which France was divided after the
revolution, giving the regions legisla-
tive bodies with power to make laws
affecting only local interests.
This proposed reform would give
The regions a closer resemblance to
the state of the American union than
that presented by the departments
now existing. These departments hav-
ing little initiative in public affairs,
everything has been centralized in
Paris. Affairs of purely local interest
were often so bound up in red tape
in the capital that local initiative re-
garGing them was stified The be9un-
ming now made by the minister of
commerce is hailed as a promising in

They search the houses of American

course, being spies, they have to
bring information and when they can
find none they often manufacture it.
many have been arrested who had no

station they often beat the men before
any trial on the general principle that
it is a good thing for every Korean TO
