The controversy on the relative mer.
its of the British and American bag.
gage systems has been revived by the
complaints of transatlantic visitors
who have lost trunks in England
These. in turn. have called forth pro-
tests against the adoption of the check
system. An Englishman who has Wis
tied America. writes 10 the Pail Mail
Gazette giving details of the troubles
which he experienced through the loss
of his checks, the delay and the al
legged impOssibility of obtaining COM
pensation, declaring the Americans
tolerate any system. however cOmpli-
Gated, so long as it has the appearance
of being business like. Most of the
detraCtOrs of the check system miss a
point by devOting their arguments
against the delay in delivering baggage
after its arrival 1t is possible that
the correspondence may accelerate tha
adoption of some form of American
system, for partly through Ignorance
and partly through the defects of the
English system. no end of trouble ana
expense is undergone through loss OF
baggage by the thousands who yearly
cross the Atlantic.
Another American innovation will
shortly appear in London in the shane
of $50 laundries run by American en-.
ployees and with American machinery
