PROTESTS SUSPENSION
OF CHILD LABOR LAW

The proposal OF certain Southern
Senators to suspend the Federal child
labor law, which goes into effect on
September /, has been met by a quick
protest from the National Child Labor
Committee. ITO suspend the national
child labor law would practically aid
our enemies" says the committee in
statement published yesterday. The
experience Of England and other eoun-
tries where labor laws were relaxed
and children excused from school has
proved that to overwork and u Ier-
train our children is to weaken tn. ma
tion's resources. Within the last few
days there has been published a news
paper report from England to the
effect the munitions workers have gone
stale because OF fatigue and neglect
The British press states that Eng
land should adopt Americas system Of
factory welfare regulation. Within a
few days, also, the President has is
sued a warning against the breakdown
Of labor laws, saying that states which
have lowered their standards have
made a serious mistake which will re-
act ultimately on the welfare Of the
people"

Versatile Lucius M. Boomer
Worlds Foremost Hotelman

The man who would successfully direct
the modern New York hotel in all its in
tricacles must indeed be versatile. an ex-
pert in many things.
Bucius M. Boomer. to whom Is due the
development OF one of the largest hotels
IN the world, the McAlpin, IL essentially
this. Tall. Of athletic build, but 3S years
of age, he represents a very small class
OF talented men who have brought into
this business the virllity and efficiency of
the younger generation and who have
placed the hotel business upon a plane
with the greatest of modern enterprises.
A great musician, a conspicuous law
yer, successful writer. a power In the
world of finance, indeed (these charac-
teristics would seem almost to be prere-
quisites Of one who would now achieve
fame in hoteldom). had not the hotel field
been chosen as his life work it is certain
be would have made signal success in
any field of endeavor. for he possesses
those qualities which quickly take a man
to the very top.
Mr.. Boomer had led with many of the
innovations now recognized as integrals
of the metropolitan hotel, and has been
missionary in foreign lands with a
view to teaching the fame of New York
as business center and world play
ground, building not for the present nor
for himself alone, but for the good OF
everyone by attracting the visitors who
formerly knew only Paris, London or
Berlin as their vacation points
Nahan Franko and Ernest Hussar, or
chestra directors OF wide renown, are
daily heard at luncheon and dinner con-
certs In the restaurants, Edouard
Panchard and F. Coquin, internationally
famed chefs. supervise the menus, while
the stan Of assistants and department
heads comprises group OF men and
women selected for proven ability in
their several lines To this ability in
choice of workers and a ready faculty
for instilling the "McAlpin spirit" into
even the most humbly employed is main
ly due his quick success
There are two maxims, religiously prac-
ticed by every worker at the McAlpin,
the Claridge, the Cafe Savarin and the
Trouville at Long Beach, which, though
never seen by a visitor, are nevertheless
evident everywhere. The first of these
declares
There is but one hard-and-fast rule
our patrons must go away pleased at
any cost
