Women in Agency Work

There are many women and
men in all kinds of business en-
terprises who do not receive a
stated salary, but who receive a
certain commission or percentage
of another persons salary. AL
though some of these people earn
a large amount during the year,
their earnings depend greatly on
their w business sense.
The dictionary definition of
agent is zone who acts for anoth-
err" and to that we may add, for
a certain sum of money known as
commission. An agent may be en-
ployed by another or he may be in
business for himself.
There are many kinds of agents,
insurance, real estate employment,
solicitoring, booking, purchasing,
as well as advertising and press
agents. Each of these will be taken
up separately in the following
sections:

Again
Thriving Port
German Comm ercial |
Center Has Good
Outlook
By George BouItwood

i BREMEN, Germany.-The Port
Of Bremen, knocked completely out
of the war by Allied action, again
is in business-in fact, more business
than ever.
T On recent day, the port handled
more tonnage than on any previous
day since it came into use rs .
trading center centuries ago.
The story is different for Ham,
burg, once one of the worlds great
ports. British officials say 1t has
been restored sufiiciently to handle
40 per cent Of It's 1885 tonnage but
they never have been asked to cope
with more than Is per cent. Three
quarters of the city, which was one
of the RATS first targets, is in
various stages of disintegration.
Bremen still presents a picture Of
war damage, but recovery Of the
port area has progressed at a fast
pace.
Basins Were Blocked
Stanley A. Glen, American chief
of port operations on the Weser
River, drew an optimistic picture of
the part Bremen and Bremerhayen
can play in the revival Of Western
European trade.
In the busiest prewar year, the
tonnage handled was $4,000, 900 tons,
against Hamburg's 26,000,000 tons q
year. Now Bremen is back near its
prewar level but Hamburg only .
!! little over Is per cent.
When the Americans took over
the Bremen enclave as a port Of
entry for supplies for the United
States occupation forces, every basin
in the port was blocked by bomb
wreckage or sunken vessels. Now
all but two or three small basins
are clear. In some cases the BERTH
age had been improved by dredg-
ing Ships up to 81 feet 6 inches
draught can now be accommodated.
i At the end of the war, the cargo
handling capacity had been reduced
to 20 per cent. 1t is now 30 per
cent of prewar, which combined
with speedy turnaround makes the
port capable of handling more than
ever before, Mr.. Glen said.
j This cheerful state of affairs has
not been achieved without difficul-
ties, however.
In tour of the docks your most
vivid impression is of acres OF
wrecked sheds. Piles of bricks and
twisted girders represent what was
once valuable storage space. Before
the war there was 100000 square
meters of warehousing. At the end
of the war there was only 10000
square meters. Two years of work
has added another 10000. A fur
ther $4,000 square metefs is COM
plete except for $4,000 square meters
of roofing paper.
Hamburg Case Different
! In the course of two years Mr..
Glen has reduced his American
staff from 1877 to 2. 1.-The Germans
run this port and I see they DO It
in line with the laid-down military
government policy" he said.
The outlook in Hamburg, how
ever, is anything but reassuring for
its 100000 residents. British
officials say that unless Hamburg
can get trade to support Its top
heavy maritime structure, the popu-
Ilation will have to be reduced.
Just what part Hamburg will play
in the increased Western European
trade expected to result from the
European Recovery Program Is still
uncertain.
Hamburg Is expected TO handle
only 1900, 900 tons of trade this year.

inland waterways to the greater

Bridal Guide

If you are to be a bride, and you know it-or even if you just hope it why not compile a list of your friends with their addres- ses? This will certainly be of great aid when wondering just who will or should receive wedding invita- tions or announcements.
 The alphabetical books which can be easily and inexpensively purchased are very good, howeve card file is even better. An elab- crate system is not necessary, simply keep a group of cards al- alphabetically arranged with the name and adress of the person or persons on each. A great advan- tage of this system is that you may write on each card where you met the person, if the person entertain ed you or any other pertinent in formation you may wish to include. Incidentally, this same file will serve well for your Christmas cards)
 By keeping such a list, you don't forget some of the people whom you do not see every day, but should not leave off of your list when such an important event takes place.
 If your wedding is to be small, you may buy card file signals at almost any ten cent or stationary store. These little signals have tiny red heads which protude e. nough for you to see them, but not enough to get in the way. In this manner you can point out to your self your closest friends and can pull their cards without grea deal of searching.

 On the day in question, he looked at the track nervously. It had drtzzled all night and the course was a sea of mud. The horses were brought to the barrier, and Eddie leaned over Galloping Winds neck and spoke to her reassuringly. She tossed her head and reared. The horses broke raggedly and Gallop- ing Wind, on the outside, ran last.
