American Restaurants Criticised
Bennett. in Harper's Magazine.

Arnold Bennett, in Harper's Magazine.
What disconcerts the European in
the great American restaurant is the
excessive, the occasionally maddening
slowness of the service, and the lack
of interest in the service. Touching
the latter defect, the waiter is not i'm
polite: he is not neglectful. But he
is, too often, passively hostile, or, at
best, neutral. He. or his chief. has ap-
parently not grasped the fact that buy
ing a meal is not like buying a ton of
coal. If the purchaser is to get value
for his money. he must enjoy his meal
and if he is to enjoy the meal 1t must
rot merely be efficiently served, but it
must be efficiently served in a sympa-
thetic atmosphere. The supreme busi-
ness Of a good waiter is to create this
atmosphere. True. that even in
the country which has carried cookery
and restaurants to loftier heights than
any other-I mean, of course, Belgium
the little country Of little restaurants
the subtle ether which the truly civil
lied diner demands is rare enough.
But In the great restaurants of the
great cities Of America it is, / fancy
rarer than anywhere else.

MAY JUMP FUNERAL RATES.
Undertakers and Lverymen Discus
Charging More for CarriaTes.

The increasing OF rates for carriages at
funerals was discussed at q meeting IN
the rooms Of the Chamber Of Commerce
last night, which was largely attended by
liverymen and undertakers Of the city.
Carl E. Burgdorf. who presided. de-
clined today to give any Information as to
what transpired at the melting or what
steps are to be taken toward Increasing
the rates. Others also were very ioath In
furnishing information as to the intend
ed increases.
Alfred Gawler. secretary OF tho Funeral
Directors Association Of the District Of
Columbia, declared that his association
had nothing to do with the proposed in
crease Of carriage rates. He said his as
sociatf9n is perfectly satisfied with the
present rates. which are 81 for a earriaee
and 81 for a hearse to cemeteries in the
District of Columbia, and IS for a car
riage and s. for hearse to nearby Vir-
ginia cemeteries.
Whatever steps are taken toward in
creasing the rates, Mr.. Gawler said, is
not sanctioned by his association.

Subduing Air Waves.
From the CINCINNATI Times-gtar.

From the Cincinnati Times-Gtar
There is still a lot to be learned about
the art OF flying. The number Of acci-
dentsto birdmen and birdwomen indicates
this. But perhaps the most unique plan
so far put forth to overcome uncertain
currents OF air. to do away with those
dangerous pockets aviators are so apt
to run into. and to make the aerial sea
smoother and more dependable, is the
one that comes from Mineola. n. Y.
1t is proposed by expenmenters in avia-
ton to use wireless currents to subdue
the air waves that are such q menace to
aeroplanes. Just how this Is to be done
is not fully explained. even II it Is thor
oughly understood by the advocates. But
in general way it may be said that the
high power electric currents are to be
poured out into the air. The result ex-
pected is to be like that OF Oil poured on
troubled waters Time was when this
was a mere figure Of speech. but the
heaviness Of the OIL has actually been
known to act well in Quieting high
waves. a similar result is confidently
looked for by these experimenters who
propose using electricity to subdue the
waves in the air.
Meanwhile. however, the aviator who
braves the wrath Of the sensation seek
ers and refuses to go up when the at
mosphere is ''choppy" or tre4cherous will

Plan q Revolution.

The Spy Is the title of a story in our
next Sunday Magazine by Max MarCin,
who has achieved eminence among the
rather younger set of authors 1t tells of
the visit of prominent official Of the
Russian revolution movement. who
brought to the American bund the news
that a fund of 100000 rubles. raised for
revolutionary purposes, had been stolen
and one Of the four he was speaking to
was responsible. A pretty tight situation
for somebody, for these revolutionists are
not accustomed to Use gloves in handling
situations OF this kind. And there is a
woman i'm the story. who had a great deal
to do with the missing money, and. fur
tfermore. she was the fiancee of one of
the confronted four. The story has all
the elements Of big drama.

A Vanished Industry.
From the London Chronicle.

The shoeblack. as a London institution,
is vanishing; has. indeed. vanished from
many localities where he once abounded.
Even in the West End you may find some
diniculty in discovering one. except at
one or two central points. such as the
bottom of Charing Cross road. Leicester
square, and Piccadilly circus. Nor does
he seem now to work with the old en-
thusiasm. When Paul Verlaine came to
London in 1872 one of the things that
instantly struck him was ''the abomina-
bic multiplication of little red shoe
blacks One would have supposed that
the contrast of the black and red would
please this lover of color and contrasts.
And now, If Your shoes are muddied.
you may walk miles without finding .

Its a part of the duty of Boy Scout
to rescue drowning persons is the only
explanation George gives of his brave
act. He is one Of the most active mem
bers Of Troop Is. Boy Scouts Of America.
George is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis

Beach with hi& grandmother, Mrs. Mary
Main.
Last Monday little Mildred had been
playing ON a waterlosged raft. which sud
denly sank in deep water when she was
, far from shore or any place of safety.
The suction of the sinking raft took her
down, and in her fright she lost hold OF

server from q passing launch. but her
| cries for help could not be heard above
the chugging of the engine.
Goes to the Rescue.
| Just then George saw the dangerous
position of the girl and started to her
rescue. BY the time he reached her
she had gone down for the second time.
He grasped her with one arm and
swan back to the pier, where both were
lifted out of the water by witnesses
| of the rescue. First aid on the pier
| soon brought the girl to conscious
ness.
| George said this morning that Mil
dred lives in Washington and that now
she is visiting in the neighborhood OF
Colonial Beach with her aunt.
| A few days before going to Colonial
Beach George had been at the camp o.
the Boy Scouts at River View. and
while there received certificate OF
proficiency in swimming. This morn

ming, and. according to his mother. he
is happier in the water than anywhere
else.

Ruling Made on Provisions Of
New Contract Eight-Hour
Labor Law.

Attorney General Wickersham has de-
cided that none of the provisions of the
new contract eight-hour labor law be-
comes effective until January l. 1913 and
that there is nothing in the law that will
prevent the purchase by the government,
under contracts not containing restric-
tons in regard to hours of labor. Of sup
plies and other articles exempted by the
act, even though the government itself
has occasionally manufactured such ar
ticles.
The opinion is the result Of inquiries
from government officials who. believing
the law to be ambiguous in the wording
Of some of its provisions have been doubt
full as to its scope. and have. therefore,
held up many government contracts until
assured OF their ground.

Several questions have been raised by
Secretary of War Stimson in regard to
army contracts. Certain classes of con-

eight-hOur clause. However. the law pro-
vides that all classes of work (which
have been. are now and may hereafter
be performed by the government shall.
when done by contract be performed
under the eight-hour limitation. This pro-
vision Of the act is the one that has
raised a question in the minds of govern

NAGEL ORDERS INQUIRY
INTO PRICES OF COAL
Sends Commissioner of Labor
NeiII on a Tour of In
vestigation.

Secretary Nagel Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor wants to know who
Is profiting from the present high prices
Of coal and. as a first move. has sent
Charles P. Neill commissioner of labor,
on scouting tour" He will return to
Washington early in September and. after
his deductions have been made known to
the head Of the department. it is expected
that trained investigators Of the bureau
Of labor will begin work on systematic
method to procure the desired informa-
ton.
When Congress reassembles in Decem-
Der Mr.. Nagel will, he believes. have a
report ready which will tell just who is
boosting coal prices.
The object of the inquiry will be to as
certain how much the cost of coal to the
general consumer has been increased as a
result Of the recent strike in the anthra-
cite coal regions of Pennsylvania and is
in answer to a resolution Of the House
introduced by Representative Difenderfer
of the keystone state, by whom it was
declared that the anthracite operators
had added an increase of % cents a ton
to the price of coal at retail.
Evening star., 1912-08-29
Scope of Inquiry.

In conjunction with the inquiry into
how much the price of coal was increased,
Commissioner Neill is expected to ascer-
tain for what reasons and by what means
the cost was raised.
Another line of inquiry will be to deter
mine how much and in what particulars
the coal miners were benefited by the
strike agreement. In support Of the reso-
luton of inquiry, it was argued that the
miner did not get nearly all the increase
being paid by the general consumer.
Probably before the report has been
compiled and submitted to the House the
Supreme Court OF the United States will
have handed down its decision, now under
consideration. as to the legal situation in
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields.

group.
Hilos farcical lre-nghting appli-
ances were also referred to with de-
rision. but what could be done? The
supervisors will be memoralized, but
that body hasn't the necessary funds,
and little good is expected from the
kick registered by the Board OF
Trade. Christian Castendyk, mana
ger of II. Hackfeld & Co., who
brought this topic before the board,
recognized that lack Of funds would
no doubt be the excuse presented by
the supervisors, but he advocated the
taking of other steps to secure ade-
quate protection. OF coure, his stand
was approved generally, though w.
Mckay of the Inter-Island gave the
supervisors credit for doing the best
they could under the circumstances.
Messrs. Wright, Mariner and Moses
also referred to the necessity for ac-
ton, but there the matter stands.
Personal Evidence.
The lackadaisical manner in which
the Honolulu inspectors GU endeavor
to ascertain whether any infected
fruit is being taken by passengers
from Honolulu to the Big Island was
reported by John A. Scott and E. N.
Holmes, both of whom were visiting
the first city of the Territory recent
ly Mr.. Holmes didn't even see an in
spector, while Mr.. Scott only saw a
small boy, who timidly asked if he
had any fruit. He didn't have any,
but he we'll might have for all the
authorities would know, or probably
care. Mr. Mckay was of the opinion
that the authorities could have the
cooperation of the shipping offices for
the mere asking and suggested that
they get in touch with the passen-
gers through the respective steam
ship companies.
Miss Wilhelmina Weight, who so
fttingly represented Hawaii in the
Floral Parade, was formally thanked
by the Board of Trade and in add.
ton a check for $50 was sent to her
in order that she might obtain me-
, mento of the occasion. r. w. Filler
! chairman of the Floral Parade com
mittee, gave Miss Weight timely
boost, declaring that it was conceded
that Hawaii's princess was the best
dressed, the best mounted and the
most popular. He might with justice
have added, the best looking. Miss
