Maybe His Names Apamemnon,

No longer will George the dusky Pullman por-
ter answer to that well-known cognomen. The
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Porters will to that.
The brotherhood asks travellers to call porters by
their real names. The brotherhood tells the rail-
road companies that portcrs' names must be hung
in their respective cars.
Travellers will commit grave Pumanic errors at
first. So accustomed have we become to calling
each and sundry porters George" that we must be
forgiven while We practice the custom of "Ras-
tusing," "Franking," or "Chareying" them.
But the brotherhood is right in recognizing the
worth of personal dignity to any employee.
No minister, no plumber, no barber, no DOCTOR
would have endured silently throughout the years

George" but known individually as personalities,
will make beds softer shine shoes brighter and bring
the ladder with more speed and agility

Editorial Comment
The Real American
(St. Paul Dispatch)


Queen Marie has expressed desire to see some
"rcal Americans" before she leaves the country.
This may be enc wish which will not be fulfilled.
Seeking the "real American" is about as hopeless a
quest as that upon which Diogenes entered when
he set out with his lantern to find an honest man.
All Americans real Americans; yet it is inn
possible to say, with regard to ethnc origin or men,
tai attitude toward social and political institutions,
what the ''real" American is. The American nation
is made up Of many types and strains Some OF
them are not yet wholly out Of the melting pot. The
"old American stock" of New England doubtless re.
CARDS itself as the real thing; an assumption which
the equally 'old American stock" of the South At
antc states would be justified in challenging. The
"effete east is looked upon by the younger, vrile
and sanguinely confident and optimistic west with
feeling akin to pity. A fourth brand OF Amer-
cans is found out the coast All are equally
Americans united, yet diverse. Which is the "real
American" is not for any one section to say.
Anthropologists will wish Queen Marie well in
her quest When she finds real American" there
will be niche ready for him at the Smithsonian
institution and DR.. Hrdlicka will to it that he
is preserved for the enlightenment of posterity.

Cold Figures on Birth

Child bearing is simpler, safer and more gener-
ally successful venture today than ever before
This headline came forth from a recent great
medical convention. Hour after hour the keenest
brains Of the worlds medical profession stood on
the floor discussing the pros and cons Of mother
hood.
No sentiment swaycd these sessions. Here were
no theoretical socologsts sentimental poets, cry
ing for continuance Of the race, calling mother
hood Sweet" not counting it's cost.
Here were men gray Of hair and lined of face;
whose professional ln,ousines Of today only re-
minded them of the horse and buggy that took them
out into the cold and dark of night those years ago.
Here men who had ushered into the world
new citizens midst surroundings which modern
science would call hazardous to both mother and
child.
And here were men who had seen all the securi-
te4, the Injuries, the last word of science thrown
about this job of maternity.
Figures buzzed at this meeting. Cold black and
white numerals. Figures that told the number OF
mothers dead then and now; the number Of live
nealthy babies then and now.
And when the discussion was ended, the conven-
ton did soemnly affirm that maternity was not the
hazardous job it was, and that stronger babies
were born to the race daily.
Ma, convention could issue word more valuable
30 the race, for in sound, healthy baby crop and
an unhazardous maternity lie all the material wealth
of nation.
Rich natural resources mean nothing without a
sound and ample citizenry.

He has limited his own opportunities somewhat
perhaps through being partially identified at the
