New Hotel for Lima. Peru.

The Congress of Peru by recent leg
islation has provided for an up to date
hotel in Lima, to be constructed under
the supervision of the national govern
ment Of Peru and to cost not less than
100000 (973,000). The site set aside
for the hotel is government property
located in the heart of the city and Is
10 no ocon,-ad by the company con-
structing the hotel.
The need Of a modern hotel in Lima
has been keenly felt by the travellers
for some time, says Commerce Reports.
During recent years the number of
commercial travellers and tourists WIS.,
iting the west coast of South America
has more than doubled, and many of
these have found it inconyenient or
even impossible to remain longer than
q few days in Lima because of the lack
of adequate hotel accommodations.

'Ex- KING DOES USEFUL WORK

Royalty has suffered much in the
present war, even at the hands Of its
friends. When the i~nterallied confer
lence in the interest of permanently
disabled soldiers was concluded in
Paris, a party of delegates ~journeyed
to England to inspect the great schools
established there for the re~-education
of men manned in battle. One of these
schools in particular excited the visi-
tors admiration because of its mar
Vicious equipment and seemingly per-
feet management. This was all the
more remarkable because the director
of the school was o very young man.
So much impressed were the visitors
that before leaving they waited upon
the youthful director and fairly show
cred him with praise.

a high honor to you, sir" said their
spokesman, a distinguished French sci

Originator Of The Service Flag Tells How He Got
Idea; Congress May Adopt New Emblem

but, inasmuch they did notthink much
of the design aud waited for the coun-
try to adopt 1t; and, further in view of
the fact that hundreds of firms were
manufacturing the flag and other ma
terials with this design, at a consider
able profit TO themselves, there seems
no apparent reason why 1 should not
receive a small royalty fee. Royalties
are being paid by our various Govern
ment departments on every possible
sort of article or machine. [ cite the
Browning gun patents, for which they
have just been paid over 81, 900 900.
The Lewis gun question is also a mat
ter of history, and the Mills cotton
woven belt, invented by an Army Off
Ger, made him a multimillionaire, yet
no one seems to have felt that it. was
out of place for these men to receive
something for their ideas.
"Howevef, the main point, after all,
is that when 1t was apparent to me
that neither Congress nor the War De-
partment would help me, that no one
seemed to care for the service flag or
the design, and thought of and treated
me as n of the many cranks that In
