WIDEN SCOPE TO
take IN OWNERS
Tri- City Greeters to Make
Their Organization a
General One.
WILL HAVE MORE POWER
First Meeting Of Hotel Men Devoted
to Consideration of Plans
for Union.

The hotel clerks OF Rock Island
Davenport and Moline decided at the
meeting held at the Hotel Harms in
this city last evening to make the
organization planned of the tri-city
greeters broader and more fetching
in its results by forming what will be
known as the Tri-City Hotel Mems
association, to which the proprietors
and managers Of the hostelries in the
three cities may belong, as well as
the clerks.
II was originally planned to form
Tri-City Greeters' association, TO
which only the clerks could belong.
Eleven greeters attended the meeting
at the Harms last evening, and after
discussing plans of organization II was
suggested that the managers and pro
prietoTs of the hostelries join the
clerks and form stronger body,
which would give the hotels a better
guard against fraud and at the same
time mutually discuss the various
problems which confront the hotel
men in this section.
CONSIDERS Preiimlnarics.
Thus, only the preliminary plans for
the organization were considered and
no definite steps were taken to form
an association. Another meeting was
set 10 take place at the st. James
hotel in Davenport next Friday night,
at which time all of the hotel men in
the three cities will be present. Then
n
officers elected. Following that meet
ings will be held every two weeks
taking the three cities in rotation.
OF the eleven clerks present Daven-
port was most largely represented.

Ebert II. Gary.

What this country needs now
more than ever is more courage. This
is not the time fer Americans to be
'quitters.' 1t is the time for prudence
and economy. but not for hysterical
economy. There is danger that some OF
our business men in their over-cau-
ton will wreck the mechanism OF
their own organizations, and injure
every one else.
I'VE need the public spiritedness
that has been manifested in the coun-
tries that are at war, where the news
papers at the outset of hostilities laid
emphasis upon the desirability of ev-
cry person continuing to live as he
always had lived and to buy as he al
ways had bought, so that labor may
not be unemployed and business
brought to a standstill.
There are many hopeful signs.
There are many men who see that this
is the day of great opportunities, who
are going straight ahead charting
their business course for the future,
knowing that the war can't last for
ever and that prosperity will return.
These are the days when men of
courage and resourcefulness may lay
the foundation of great success. We
should be cautious and prudent, but
aggressive. ''-Elbert H. Gary, chair
man of the United States Steel corpo-
ration. in an interview with the finan-
cial editor of the New York World.

the chief. II was also intimated by

DAY IN DA NEWPORT

| visited the Tyler school, 1912 Grand
avenue, yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of thoroughly examining pu-
pills for scarlet fever symptoms. In
one class room, an 11-year-old girl,
Irene Davenport, 2736 Park avenue,
was found to be afflicted with scarlet
fever. The disease had attained the
scaling stage. The girl, who has been
attending school regularly every day,
fningling with hundreds of other pupils,
was Immediately ordered TO her home
under quarantine. The entire school
building was thoroughly fumigated by
! City Physician Middleton and health
officials after classes had been dis
missed. 1t is hoped that the spread OF
the contagioa may be effectually check
ed. Thus far approximately 10 cases
have been reported from Tyler school.
No Need for an Assistsnt-"It was
not on account of the lack of funds but
for the simple reason that no assist
ant state commissioner is needed at
this time, that the republicans declined
to appoint one at the. last council
meeting" declared Alderman Franz
Nebergall yesterday. I'VE don't need
a man merely sitting around and look
ing wise to take care of something
which does not exist. The heavy work
in the street department is over now
for the year and there is no work for
an assistant" added Mr. Nebergau /
Continuing further Alderman Neber- !
gall said: Il consulted Street Commits |,
sioner Mcmahon and he informed me
he did not need an assistant at this |
time. 1t would be sheer extravaganza |
and a waste OF the city's money to APP
point an official whom we do not need. |
Does anyone suppose that ! would en-
ploy six men to build a house when
only five are needed? 1t would be
equal folly to appoint an assistant
street commissioner at a time when
his services are not needed"
