fire OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 29, 1913. ( Pullman Porter With a Wonderful Record While he laya no claim lo being; a globe trotter, Jamea B. Newsome, Bleeping car porter on the Burlington's Noa. 6 and U, running; between Omaha and Chicago, haa rot rnore' mileage to his credit than 11 of them combined. Newsome haa been on the Burlington's Omaha-Chicago run for forty-two years, making ten round trips each month, and during that time he has traveled 5,010,000 miles and, what Js moat remarkable of all, .never haa there been a passenger Injured while rid ing on his car. Forty-two years ago. when a young man and when the Burlington was Itself something of a young road, Newsome applied for a position as porter and got It lie was assigned to the Omaha--Chicago run, and summer and winter and year In and year out, ten times each month he made the round trip, with the exception of when he has taken his short vacations. ' Each five years he has been given a service stripe, and now these stripes encircle the right hand sleeve of his coat, most of the way from the cuff to the elbow, lie Is not only the oldest porter In point of service on the road, but he Is among the oldest of the em ployes and Is one of the most respected. When Newsomo went with the Bur lington Its Omaha,-Chtcago train service was not what It Is today. Then there was one train each way dally, whereas now there are four. In those days It took twenty. four hours to make the trip from Omaha to Chicago, and now the time has been whittled off to thirteen hours. In those days but one train car ried a sleeper, and this lone sleeper was seldom filled, while now tho palatial trains carry from three to six sleepers each, and as a rule the berths In all of them are occupied. Then, too, back In the early '70s, when Newsome cast his lot with the Burling ton, dining cars had not yet been In vented and the peoplo ate at the dining halls along the route, where trains stopped twenty minutes for meals. Back In 1871, when Nowsome went onto the road, C, E. Perkins was a superin tendent, Paul Morton was a clerk In the Burlington offices and I M. Bennett was t superintendent of the Omaha offices of the Pullman company. Then the fast passenger train, as It was called, de parted from Omaha at 9 o'clock one morning and reached Chicago at 9 the following morning. There were threo BRIEF CITY NEWS BAJtCOrHAOUB.

Omaha-Chicago roads In operation the Burlington, the Northwestern and the Rock Island and there was an under standing among the officials that but one of them would run Sunday trains on the same Sunday. Tho Burlington took ono Sunday, tho Northwestern the next and the Rock Island the third, thus pool ing on the business. Sleepers were different from those of today. They were small, as compared with the vehicles of the present, having sixteen wheels each, narrow and consider able lower. The lavatories were about four feet square and the cars were with out smoking rooms, with the exception of little coops, Just large enough for two men to tit at one time. In fact, they were little box stalls stowed away In a dark corner of the car. Mr. Newsome In his time has carried many distinguished passengers and prob ably knows by sight more mon than any other person In the United States. He Is highly respected and has thousands of friends among the peoplo who patronlxe the Burlington. He attributes his success and the appreciation In which' he is held to the fact that he has always taken good care of his passengers, regardless WOULD TRAfflM MOTHERS Truant Officer ' Qepson Advocates Training Girls for Motherhood. LEARN TO CARE FOR BABIES Too BInny Trairedlea Folloir Ig norance of Yonnjr Folka In the Care of Dablea nnd Little Children. E. D. Gepson, truant officer of the pub lic schools, who will head a special school for boys to be established by the Board of Education next year, believes a school to train young girls In the care of babies Is "human and practical" and will ulti mately bo adopted by all enterprising cities. ' "Special courses dealing with tho onre of babies and little children ought to be Installed In the schools for tho oeneflt pf girls," said Gepson, "and such 'vurk will come finally. It must. v Everywhere we see tho tragedy that follows the surprising Ignorance of fathers and mothers. This very day a case came before the Juvenile court, which was caused by the Ignorance of the parents regarding their children. It could have been averted If the mother had been taught the essential facts of motherhood." Qepson believes mothers' training schools are "human and practical" be cause young women generally desire to become the, head of a family and at pres ent the most vital thing In their educa tion, the thing they most likely will de vote all their later lives to the care of babies Is neglected. "Such a school was established In New York," said Gepson, "and has been a decided success. New schools need not be built and devoted entirely to such work, but certainly courses ought to be pro vided for girls covering the salient and vital tind the very practical Issues of life " Members of the Board of Education may be asked to take the advlsaolllty of including in the high school curriculum a course on the care of babies under con sideration. Local physicians stamp the idea with their unreserved approval. Said one physician: "Such Instruction has been delayed W long. The Infant mortality rite Is ap palling and It Is due. In many, many In stances to the blunt and brutal fact that mothers know nothing more about their babies than that they are little human beings. The time will come, I believe, when It will be considered criminal negli gence to fall to provide young girls with an education covering the essential facts of motherhood and the proper care of babies."

"Tho storekeper should be under bond. Requisitions should be drawn on store keeper by various city departments for any supplies that they may need.
