acres of Government and public lands

HOTEL MAN HAS PLAN
TO CHECK SWINDLERS

New York. Nov. 25.-Passing bogus
checks on hotel proprietors will be
made exceedingly difficult when
James Woods, president Of the Amer
lean Hotel Protective Association, has
had the plan adopted which he pre-
sented to the National Congress of
Hotel Associations. This plan pro-
vides for Identification cards, to be
issued by the Association to travelling
men.
Suppose you're travelling man
and I'm hotel man." said j. K.
Blatchford, the Associations secre-
tary, to-day, land you come to me
with a pleasant smile and ask me to
cash a check for $50. Maybe TIL ask
you some questions if I don't know
you, and you will not like the ques-
tons, and you will end by not liking
me and my hotel"
All of which Is to be obviated by
the Identification cards, which will
be issued yearly. only after careful
inquiry into the applicants references
and his business connections. They
will have list Of the travelling mans
marks Of Identification, such as q cor
dial smile, or ELUSIVE manner, or per-
sonal regularity, which will make it
impossible to mistake him for anyone
else.
But this is not the only matter that
came UP before the hotel congress.
Ray Smith, of Milwaukee, talked
about the high cost of everything. in
GLIDING, Of course, living, and w. w.
Davis, of Boston, on the need for uni
form laws in the various states Affect
ing hotel interests. But the most i'm
J. ,Bohm and John. McF. HOWE. Mr..
Bohm's suggestion was that the As
ISOLATION establish a national voca-
ton training school for hotel men.
Here the beginner would learn how
to receive patrons. and the more ad-
vanced student to say list the right
thing when he is called into confer
ence by the woman over whose dress
the new waiter has just spilled soup.
The full course would include lectures
on plumbing, how to make two ONE
lets from one egg, ageing fish and
how to deal with it, bellboys, and
their rings, and souvenir hunters.
Mr.. Howie's suggestion may be no
ticed by state universities in the fu-
ture. He urged the establishment Of
chair of gastronomy in all such in
stitutions, according to Mr.. Batch
ford. Mr.. Blatchford realized the
enormous possibilities of this sugges-
ton, and was so overcome when he
had told of it that he had to bury his
face in a handkerchief.
1t was admitted on all sides that
the courses in gastronomy would un-
doubtedly be popular, and would rank
with those in appreciation of music,
fine arts, and Russian literature at
state universities. In fact, what
troubled the hotel men was not
whether the courses in gastronomy
would be successful, but whether
they would not interfere with the
normal and uneventful course OF
other lectures.

ARMORED CARS,
4OOMILES FROM
RAILS, KEEP BUSY
Many Times In Action, They
Repeatedly Have Demon
strated Their Worth.

AS has been intimated from time to
time the new British armored cars
are being used on the eastern as we'll
as on the western front. Concerning
their work in the east correspon-
dent writes to the Manchester Guar
dian: +
The British armored cars have had
exciting times in Asia Minor. They
were between 300 and 400 miles from
the railroad. When they branched
off from the main road through Turk
1sh Armenia they had to, rely on bull
lock tracks, which climbed through
the toughest mountains. Some OF
the gradients were SO steep that the
cars had to be hauled up by hand and
then lowered again by ropes. In
many cases rocks on the track caught
and ripped the base plates, thus let
ting out the oil. In single oay ]
cars were thus damaged, but all ex-
cept two started again after about
couple Of hours, thanks to an ingen-
ious patching device in which ord1-
nary shaving soap wasl held in posi-
ton by medical plaster. One driver
unable to obtain either plaster OF
soap, took six lead bullets, melted
SAAN
LIQUID into a mud mould and mend
ed the hole by this means. One
squadron took two days to- cross a
river, the men working the whole
time quite naked.
Before the cars reached the front
in the Mush region the Turks and
Kurds prepared an ambuscade to pre-
vent them getting through. An un-
n w n
mander Lampson was alone fell into
the ambush and had the narrowesi
escape. The car was under the fire
Of the Turks and Kurds along a hill
side skirting the road for many miles
At the end of the road was a. river
There was nothing to do but to
charge it. The car emerged safely. 1t
had been pierced by numerous bull
lets, but the driver never lost his head
for a moment and is to receive the
Cross of st. George.
The cars have been in action many
times. A most successful attack was
made on the Turkish left bank. Not
| only was village taken and the en-
envy dispersed with considerable loss
| but the Turkish base in the rear OF
| the position was shelled by the cars
guns and a magazine was blown up
Previous to this action the cars ran
! short Of petrol when in camp oppo-
| site the Turkish lines. There was not
enough left even for them to retire in
| case of necessity from a Turkish at
| tack Of which they had had warning
| A piece of bluff was decided upon
What little petrol was left was gath
cred from all the cars and put into
one armored car, which was then, os-
! tentatiously sent out as though to
inspect the road for the purpose OF
inducing the Turks to believe that 9
Russian attack with the cars was con-
temp1ated. The ruse was completely
successful, and a fresh supply OF
petrol reached the cars in time to en-
able them to do effective work In
the absence of good water tea was
sometimes made from water obtain
ed from the radiators of the cars.

Belt is now operating in Persia to the

JAPANESE War
SWORD GIVEN
FRENCH HEROES
Mikado Would Commend
rate ValOr Shown at
Verdun.

Toxic. Nov. 25.-The heroisnl of
verdun will be commemorated by the
Emperor Of Japan, who will eend to
the French city a Japanese sword
newly wrought by the leading sword
smith of the nation.
The sword is of the kind known as
s'Efu-no-tachi" used by the warriors
of ancient Japan solely ON the battle
field and is accordingly thought an
ideal gift for honoring the martial
spirit and bravery Of Verdun.
The swordsmith is Yagoro Gassan
of Osaka, believed the best of the
contemporary experts of the art in
Japan It was he who fashioned the
sword worn by the Emperor on the
occasion of the coronation or conse-
Grafton ceremony in Kioto last year.
The sword-guard and other Access
series will be made of pure gold with
raised work representing flowers,
vines and other figures. On the up
per part of the hilt the imperial crest
of the chrysanthemum in gold is to
be mounted on both sides. The sheath
will be made of wood, its outer part
being covered with mother-of-pearl
and mounted with gold lacquer de-
signs The sheath and hilt are to be
sculptured by master artists while
the word-guard and other metal ac-
cessories will be produced by we'll
known gold-smiths.
The sword is expected to be ready
about the spring Of next year when
it will be presented to the city of Yer
dun through President Poincare.
Incidentally the Japanese Depart
ment of Education has begun the dis
tribution of essays concerning hero
ism of Verdun and other European
battlefields. The underlying idea is
that the rising generation is too prone
to think that Japanese valor and
patriotism is the greatest, if not the
only real, patriotism in the world. To
broaden the minds Of the young on
this subject and give them a truer
conception Of world courage. educa-
tional leaders are daily presenting the
deeds of valor Of Europe.
