a word about trunks and baggage thaT
is checked-put something on this bag-t
gage to identify 1t. 1 have seen trunks
and grips piled 20 feet high by 90 feet
wide and 200 feet long. and not a sign,
of a card on half of them to identify,
them with one miserable little check o1i
each of those thousands OF pieces OIL
baggage to be hunted out TO Identify
the stuff you are after. Now, just adopG
this plan and see how It works this
time. Write plainly on a piece of card~i

hotel or have the number and street o&
the house at which you are to stop. ADD
that to the latter part of the addresssl

square. Put exact duplicates of thiS
card on all four sides of your trunk ands
tack 1t on with good-sized tacks. Whefft
that trunk Is in that mountainous piled
and you go along with the "baggagai
smasher" hunting 1t, you can read thSi
cards while he Is reading the eheckssf
and you will not find much trouble iya
locating that trunk. If 1t is a gripsi
paste the address label on its two side4
and ends. For heavens sake don't sayi
to the poor baggage man, my trunk
was big one with leather straps on itsj
and one of the corners was broken al
little" There may be 100000 trunks in,
that pile of exactly that description. IG
you will have your name and home adj
dress printed in black letters on eachJ
piece of your baggage, then you need
only put name and the latter part o9
address. as suggested, on the card, bug
