HOTEL MEN COME
FOR CONVENTION
Fire Opening Gun of Campaign
to Raise Million Dollar En-
dowment for School.
MAYOR EXTENDS GREETING

The opening gun OF campaign to
raise what it is hoped will eventually
be a million dollar endowment for a
vocational training school for hotel
employees of all classes, was the prin-
cipal business of the opening session
of the convention of the Northwestern
Hotel Mems association at the Hotel
Fontenelle. The plan was presented
by H. J. Bohn of Chicago, and was
received with appreciation by the
members, several of whom com
mended the scheme highly and prom
ised support and contributions in the
discussion which followed Mr. Bohn's
paper
Mr.. Bohn gave the usual arguments
for vocational training as being pre-
ferable to the present high school
courses which require all students to
take course preparatory to uni
versity education, when only about 5
per cent ever go to the universities.
He cited the immensely and RESPONSE
bility of the hotel business in the
United States, placing it fourth in i'm
portance among the businesses Of the
nation in capital and labor involved.
Raise 100000 First.
In discussing the possibility of
financing such a school, Mr.. BONN said
that while eventually it was intended
to raise a million-dollar endowment,
no steps would be taken in the con-
struction until 100000 was pledged.
Such sum, he was convinced, would
be sufficient to put the institution in
running condition.
The delegates assembled soon after
10 o'clock on the mezzanine floor OF
the Hotel Fontenelle. The members
were welcomed by Mayor Dahlman.
Rome Miller extended a welcome
from the Commercial club and F, E.
Tonne of Minneapolis responded in
behalf of the visitors.

Railroad Officials Take
Exception to Criticism

Missouri Pacific officials in Omaha
take exception to the criticism from
Lincoln relative to the manner in
which the Nebraska troop trains were
moved out of there Sunday. They as
sert that the movement OF the three
trains were on instructions from Off
GERS of the War department and that
so far as the railroad officials were
concerned they had nothing to do
with giving the orders.
As to the equipment, especially the
cars in which the soldiers were trans
ported to the Mexican borders, the
officials assert that the company fur
nished just what the government or
dered.

QCOMES NOW THE ONE
PIECE BATHING SUIT
Fair Sex Argues That volumin.
Gus Skirts Impede Action
and Add Weight.
FASHION EDICT DEFENDED
By INTELLECTUALLY 10.

The latest thing to jeopardize the
highly susceptible male is the one
piece bathing suit as it is being worn
by the fair sex this season, announces
the Chicago Tribune.
In defense of this latest edict of
) Dame Fashion, it is argued that vol
luminous skirts on bathing suits are
dangerous because they impede action
and add weight. A scant skirt when
wet clings as tightly and shows the
outline of woman's figure quite as
plainly as a one-piece suit. There
fore, why accuse the one-piece suit of
greater moral danger than any of its
=. Water-soaked sisters?
Beach behavior, too, is included in
this seasonable dissertation. Beach
ethics grant more liberties than bou-
levard or avenue. 1t is the spirit of
, play so closely akin to sand and water
that is responsible for certain
amount of the reckless conduct at the
beaches.
And while we are moralizing on the
subject, here are some pertinent beach
"don'ts":
Don't go in swimming with full stom-
ach Wait two hours at the least after eat
ing before going into the water.
Don't stay in the water after you COM

Don't go in swimming when you are out

OF the winners in the intercollegiate

further complicated by the fact that

was represented at the Eastern meet,
while the Pacific Coast was represent

Smith, of Michigan, and his name
sake from Wisconsin, won the hun
dred" in 10c fiat at the eastern and
western meets, respectively. In the
220, Moore, of Princeton, and Smith, of
Wisconsin also tied so far as time is
concerned, with 81 3-5c. 8 third tie
occurred in the 44O Meredith of Penn.
and DESMOND both running the quarter
in AZ Csc, a new worlds record for
a race around one turn. The first
break in the series of ties is found in
the $50, which Meredith won at Cam
bridge in I'm SIC, while Scott, of Mis-
souri, A. c., was a fifth of a second
slower at Evanston.
An even break of honors occurred in
the longer distance races; Windnaa-
gle, of Cornell, winning the Intercol-
legiate mile in Am 15c, to Mason's con-
ference victory in m 20 lbs. Stout
of Chicago was faster in the two mile
than Potter of Cornell the respective
times being Stout, ON 20 SOS. The
last was entirely outclassed in the
hurdle races. Murray of California
won the intercollegiate events with

In the high and broad jumps the
tables wee reversed as Oler of Yale
cleared the bar at Cambridge at 6ft

Progue of Illinois doing 23ft 1-2in in

In the 70 years since the sanitarium

Almost so per cent of the total adj

Incidentally it caan be stated upon
good authority that Ted Meredith's 440
yards record of AT 2-5s will not dis
place MaXey Longs figures of At Abs
OF. the Amateur Athletic Union record
lists When the seasons record
breaking performances are considered
at the annual meeting of the A. A. U.
late in November, Meredith will be
credited with a record for the quarter
around one turn whereas Longs fig
ures will stand as the best for a two
turn course. The same will hold good
in the case of Bingo DESMOND, the I'm
iyersity of Chicago sprinter, who tied
Meredith's time week later This
distinction is made in view of the fact
that in the A. A. U. championship
games to be held at Newark, N. j.,
in September, a quarter mile track
with a 220 yards straightway on one
side similar to the Cambridge and
Evanston tracks will be used, which
will give but one turn in the quarter
ard three il the half mile.
