TRAVELS so YEARS
ON PULLMAN CARS

Chicago, March 29.-Soon James
B. Newsome will receive his tenth
silver sleeve stripe which will indi-
cate fifty years of continuous active
service as a Pullman porter. He is
the oldest porter in active service
with the Pullman company.
When Newsome first went into
the Pullman service as young man,
he had the Burlington's Omaha Chi
cago run. The trip was a "a hour
one, now it takes ID hours.
In those days train carried only
one sleeping coach. Now the fast
night trains carry sleeping coaches
and diners only.
NeW'some has ridden approximate.
ly 1o,0OO,OOO,OOo miles. His run
now is on the Chicago and Atoms
fast mail train from Chicago to st.
Louis. 1t has been his experience
that:
Women tip more literally than
men
/ The richest men are the worst
tippers.
The snaccustorned traveller pays
what his neighbor tips.
The best tippers are the sales,
men, whose tips go on an expense
account.
More on Tippers.
"f had rather have, so far as tip
ping goes, four women on my cal
than train load of bank presidents
says Newsome.
The richest men sometime dc
seem the stingiest men. I have car
ried millionaires and multi-million
ares and most Of them tip a quarter
or less. One multi-millionaire not
long ago tipped me just 1S cents, q
dime, a nicket and three pennies.
Just to illustrate, one time l car.
ried twenty-six bank presidents or
a run. / collected from those mer
exactly $3.50.
"a few days later I carried a car.
load Sof American Legion boys who
were getting only $50 month and
they made up pot of s27.50 for the
porter"
Distinguished Riders.
Newsome has carried many dis,
tinguished passengers, including
Ulysses S. Grant, William Mckinley
William Jennings Bryan, Admirals
Schley and Samson and Woodrow
Wilson. He has carried generations
of the Alvin Saunders, j.. Sterling
Morton, Edward Rosewater and
Henry W. Yates families. -
He is known to thousands OF
travellers and he knows By name sew.

confession" by President.

On January /, 1918. but a few days
before my first appearance, the Presi-
dent himself wrote this confession into a
proclamation to the country:
1T is now nine months since this re-
public was driven to accept the aggres-
sion OF the Tcutonia Allies as constitut-
ing a state OF <ar -. In order that
our acts night not give the lie to our
words we necessarily avoided even the
appearance OF hostile measures, whiie
we offered them peace. We waited until
peace was impossible before we reluct-
antly began to prepare TO defend our
selves.
Although actually issued TO the press,
this statement was quickly recalled and
has never before been published. But
the spiritless, deathly sloth remained.
Reluctance continued to be manifest all
along the line. Languor and self-com-
placency. induced by false conception

FOR Government CLERKS
Senator Jones Of Washington In
troduces Bill Applying to City
and Federal Departments.

Daylight saving in the District of
Columbia is proposed in a bill intro
duced by Senator Jones of Washing
ton. The bill applies only to the
government departments and Con-
gresS and the street railways in
the District. but Senator Jones be-
iieves that if all the government de-
partments in Washington and the
street cars operate on a daylight saw
ing schedule the rest of the city will
follow suit The bill follows the old
lines of the national daylight saving
act enacted during the war
Senator Jones SAID that he be-
lieved the daylight saving plan was
beneficial to dwellers in the city, and
that he saw no reason why the en-
pIoyes Of the government should not
benefit by it. The bill was referred
to the Senate District committee OF
