These Structures and the Mod.
ern Apartment Hostleries
in Accessible Districts.

This city has many big hotels with long
lists Of permanent guests. Besides, it has
a splendid array of apartment hotels

There are well established apartment
hotel centres IN the great midtown zone
on the upper West Side, on the upper
East side and in many other accessible
and attractive residential parts.
Like the apartment houses, the popu-
larity OF the apartment hotels has con-
siderably increased in the last FIVE years
This Increase is largely due 70 the liberal
sums that have been spent 10 surround
the patrons OF apartment hotels with
more privacy and TO add to their comforts
In many other ways.
The transient hotels. TOO have not only
become much more numerically stronger.
but also much more popular with many
families here who can afford TO dwell in
the choicest home sections on Manhattan
Island and who do not want TO have any
household problems. The cost OF living IN
most modern hotels is much cheaper ana
much more satisfactory than II the
patrons had their own home with special
servants and cooks.
Many hostleries which were almost eX-
elusively patronized By transients not
many years ago have such large numbers
OF suites occupied by all-year guests that
they could be accurately classified as
leading apartment hotels.

HARRIS SPEAKS TO TEACHERS
Tells Of Progress in Educational Lines-
urges Reforms.

Western Newspaper Union News Service-
Baton Rouge.-T. II. Harris, state
superintendent of public instruction,
last week addressed the teachers at
tending the Summer School of the
State University. Mr.. Harris spoke
Of the great progress made along edu-
cational lines in Louisiana. especially
in the rural districts, within the last
ten years. He mentioned the fact that
there was agreat deal more ahd better
supervision of schools than few
years ago; that not over two parish
superintendents give any of their time
to other duties than school work
whereas, ten years ago, there were
not two out of the whole number who
gave all their time to school super
vision; now practically all have been
chosen from the teaching force Of the
state

the lower forms, in the shape of bac.

their cost at present time, the charbon
germ, also a vegetable organism, is
getting in its work. Consequently, it
should behoove our stock owners to be
on their guard with reference to the
condition of their pastures at this
time, especially with regard to the dis
ease which We commonly know as
blind staggers.'
Superintendent Harris also spoke of
the mobility of the teaching staff: the
changing about from place to place
for really no definite reason.
He said that the way this problem
should be solved was far the school
boards to employ a teacher at a mini
mum salary and state that this teach
er would be retained so long as the
work done was satisfactory, and the
! salary would be increased according
ly until II reached maximum, which
might be named at the beginning. He
mentioned that this mobility OF the
teachers was due not only to the teach
ers themselves, but also to the school
boards and superintend"nts. Teachers

HOUSE AUTHORIZES
AN INVESTIGATION
HENRY RESOLUTION ADOPTED
AND COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
GARRETT is CHAIRMAN.

Western Newspaper Union News ServtcS
Washington.-A lobby investigation
of extraordinary scope was authorized
by the house to supplement the Sen
ate probe already under way. With the
adoption of the Henry investigation re-
solution, a special committee of seven
members was appointed by Speaker
Clark, with Representative Garrett Of
Tennessee, chairman.
The house investigation was largely
prompted largely by the allegations OF
NJ. M. Mulhall regarding the activities
OF the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The speaker appointed with Chair
man Garrett, Representatives Cline of
Indiana, Russell of Missouri, Roden
berry Of Georgia, Democrats; Willis of
Ohio, and Stafford of Wisconsin, Re-
publicans, and Representative Nolan
OF California, Progressive.
Many of the witnesses summoned in
the Mullhall charges already are in
Washington. Among them are several
former members of Congress and the
officers of the National Association OF
Manufacturers. The latter have asked
Senator Overman to call about 40 for
mer and present members of congress
Those witnesses undoubtedly will be
wanted by both the Senate and house
committee. A resolution adopted by
the house provides that all of the hear
ings Of the committee shall be open te
the public.
The fight against the resolution was
led by Representative Levy, who op
posed particularly the insertion of ,
provision allowing the committee t.
employ counsel. This was done by ;
vote of 102 to 104.

TALK ON GOOD ROADS
Senator Boure Jr. Says Maintenance
Is as Important as Building.

Western Newspaper Union NewE Service.
Washington.-That one of the most
serious and most frequent mistakes in
the good roads movement is failure to
provide for maintenance, is asserted
by Jonathan Bourne Jr., the chairman
of the Joint Committee on Federal Aid
to Good Roads, who has made an ex-
tensive study of the problem.
"The expression permanent improve
ment is likely to be a delusion and a
snare" said Mr.. Bourne. The perma-
nency of an improvement depends very
largely upon the character Of mante-
nance. The stone or gravel surface as
we'll as the foundation Of highway
needs constant attention, similar to
the care given the steel rails and road
bed of a railroad. 1t is the repair OF
the small break-the filling in Of the
small rut-that prevents more serious
damage.
"All highway authorities emphasize
the Importance of a system Of main
nance. Hence, in my plan for federal
aid to good roads, provided for an an
maui payment to the states Of sum
equal to 2 per cent Of the cost of con-
struction-the states to expend an
equal amount for the same purpose
This aid to maintenance will not only
insure that roads will be kept in re
pair, but is an added inducement fol
the states to accept the federal aid to
construction. Their maintenance al
lowance would be in proportion to
their participation in the aid to con
struction.
"In France road patrolmen are EN-
ployed to care for certain section o.
highway. Their tools consist chiefly
of a wheelbarrow and shovel, witt
which they repair every defect, In 1T
incipiency. These men keep the roads
in repair until the harvest season be
gins and then are left free to seel
more profitable employment amoni
the farmers of the community. A roa'
kept in repair until that time will
need no attention during the harves
period. The highway patrolmen, there
1 fore, afford constant supply of labo
upon which the farmers can depen'
for part of the harvest help.
