ELEVATOR GIRLS
 ADD TO COURTESY
 ON HOTEL CARS

Girls instead of boys are now run hing the elevators in the new Bristol Hotel, New York. This change, ac- cording to Manager T. B. Toison. was made necessary by the enthusiasm of the young men for immediate service in the war. Over a dozen youths in the past four weeks have left the ele- vator scars at the New Bristol to join either the regular army or navy, the marines or National Guard, Rather than face the possibility of further raids from the se1ective draft Man ager Tolson decided to install girls permanently.
 t"The girls are proving a huge suc- cess,,' he says. They get the same wages as the boys. and are if anything more eficient. Owing to the sim plicity of modern elevator, mechan- ism, the work is not at all arduous and they like it.
 One of the marked features of the substitution of girls for boys, it is said. is an increased observance or the etiuuette of the elevator on me part of the male guests. Hats are whipped off. immediately on entering and there is a pleasant humor per vading the car, especially when the guest notices the nat, shapely un1e- form of the pretty attendant Tn charge.
 Other large metropolitan hotels are watching the experiment Of the New Bristol with interest.

On the handle of the spoon was piece of bunting, red, white and blue. General Devol stirred deeply, bringing the capsules at the bottom to the top and a few moments later sending the capules at the top to the bottom. While this stirring process was on there was a momentary pause in the recording of the numbers.

OATS LEAD CORN IN

Scarcity of Cars Sends Prices
Upward; Provisions Also
Register Advance.

CHICAGO. Nov. 12.-Both in ac-
tivity and strength oats today led
corn. Scarcity of cars available for
the movement of oats proved the
dominating factor. oats finished 2
to 2 ~ cents net higher. Corn gained
Y to 2A, closing unsettled with De-
cember 1.20ls and May 1.l5A Pro-
visions advanced ga TO 25 cents.
knowledge that the supply of oats
was not in n position to enter readily
into commercial channels was factor
in the oats advance. In this connec-
ton reports were current that rail-
road equipment was necessarily being
utilized TO the utmost TO dispose Of
soft corn, a perishable commodity of
which the aggregate this season had
assumed huge proportions.
Corn rose mainly as the result OF
upturns in the oats market and in
Wall street quotations, Besides some
authorities contended that the yield
OF merchantable corn would not be
much In excess of last year.
Provisions swung upward with
grain.

Uc Rose From the Ranks.

It is not generally known that Gen.
Sir William Robertson, chief of staff
of the British army, upon whom de-
volve some of the gravest duties in
connection with the organization of
Drltain's armed forces, Is a self-made
officer, who has come up from the
ranks He was born at Wolbourne. in
Lincolnshire, in 1860, and spent his
youth in the country.
When he was about IS he decided
to enter the army and, tramping to
London, was duly enlisted in the
Ninth lancers. He had received lit
tie education and In appearance was
but big, raw-boned rural youth,
but he was full of determination and
pluck. He studied hard in his leisure
time and after serving for nearly ten
years applied for a commission. He
passed a very difficult examination
with flying colors and was gazetted
to the Third Dragon guards.
That was In 1888. In 1892 he was
sent TO India and served there with
distinction. He has served in the In
teliigence department Of the wtr Of
flee and in South Africa. In 1910 he
was made cornmandant Of the army
staff college. When the war broke
out he went to France with Sir John
French, In the capacity of quarter
master general and his brilliant SER
vices led, to his appointment as chief
OF staff Of the British army.
