SCIENCE OF HOTEL KEEPING
Swiss Youth May Be Said to Have
ReVolutionlzed Methods Of the
European Hostelrles.

Like many another mighty enter
prise the Ritz-Carlton hotels had a
modest beginning, and the whole idea
had it's origination in the brain Of a
Swiss farmer boy, Cesar Ritz. whose
father titled small holding. The son,
however, had larger ideas. Taking up
hotel work at the beginning In very
minor capacity. he developed a most
wonderful sense of color. form and
taste in every respect, and he brought
the art OF hotel keeping in Europe to
higher pitch than 1t had ever been be-
fore. Indeed he revolutionized hotel
keeping in England and France, and
that revolution has gradually shown
It's influence all over the world. RITES
first enterprise was the Ritz hotel in
Paris. which he started about 1897.

are probably more Mexicans in Mis-.

regardless of the form the present dis.

fact, a good many are probably now
naturalized citizens of this country.
Jackson county, which Is In west

Mexicans than there are to be found
in any other county of the state, there
being 439 there. Then comes Scot

which had 297 Mexicans the day the
enumeration was made.
