Britain Fights Booze.


One of the most significant memorials ever presented to
'gislativc body was that signed by $500 of Great Britain's create
aders~-representng the army and the navy, the controllers al
irectors OF munitions of war, the priyy council and both houses

'ades, commerce and the great Industries, municipalities and justi
,ience, education and public health, art, literature, music and t
rama and all ranks of social service. Here are some OF the mt
paragraphs in this memorial:
Now that the nation has followed the example OF our
allies in enrolling it's full manhood. we appeal that we may
range ourselves with our greatest allies and put on the whole
alrnor of Britain. The power exerted by alcohol cuts through
the efficiency of the nation; it weakens our fighting forces
and must lcngthen the war. These facts stand out concerning
this powerful trade;

munitions; it keeps thousands OF men from war work every
day, and makes good sober worknncn second rate.
1t hampers the navy; il delays transports, places them
at the mercy Of submarines, slows down repairs and congests
the docks.
1t threatens our mercantile }oarine: 1T las absorbed
during the war over %200O0OOOO cubic feet of space, and it
retards the building OF ships to replace our losses.
1t destroys our food supplies: since the wan began it

to last the nation 700 days. 1t used mp more sugar than the
army.
1t wastes our financial strength; since the war began
our people have spent on alcohol over s4OO,6O0OOO
$4,000 0O, OOO).
1t divelts the nations strength; it uses 100000 workers,
100000 acres of land, and 100000 tons of coal a year; and
during the war it has involved the lifting and handling on
road and rail of d weight equal to %5O,O00000 tons.
1t Skaters our moral strength; its temptations to women
involve grave danger to children and anxiety to thousands
OF soldiers.

I continuously from the very begin
ming, carrying out the plans This
is a position which Mr.. StoddRrt FREE
quently occupied himself in his te-
dious journey to fame, beginning
his professional career in Atlanta
with the late Godfrey Norman, in
1891. From 1895 until 1905 he was
associated as chief superintendent
with George b. Post of New York,
and for thirteen years has headed
the firm which bears his name, with
! offices in New York and Atlanta.
Born at Tenatiy. n. J., in 1858. his
parents. William d. and Mary Eliz-
abeth Stoddartt were both admirers
of the character and achievement
! of General Robert Z. Lee and they
J gave their son the name of Lee rol-
lowing the fathers name, William.
Graduate of Columbia.
Graduating from Columbia Uni
versity, he 2rst attained prominence
when selecOed to make the official
bird's-eye view of the Cotton States
and International Exposition at At
| lanta, Ca, in 1895. In designing
| this work, he not only contributed
his part to an event which initiated
new constructive life in the city of
Atlanta, but it was the nucleus OF
many beautiful buildings that today
bear tribute to his architectural gen.
ius. Notable among these are the
Georgian Terrace Hotel, the Ponce
de Leon Apartments, at Atlanta,
and the Tutweiler Hotel, in Birming-
ham.
Having travelled extensively, Mr..
Stoddart's versatility, based upon his
| technical experience in this country
and abroad, is further demonstrated
by his designs of famous office and
bank buildings, a complete list OF
which may be seen in an accom-
| panying column. AS for public
buildings he has personally super
vised the construction of many in
New York, during his association
with George b. Post & Sons.
He is a member of the National
Arts Club. Transportation and CO.
lumbia University Clubs N. Y: the
Scarsdale Golf and Country Club,
Scarsdale, n. Y; the Capitol City
Club, Atlanta, and the Harrisburg
Club, Harrisburg. He is member
of Phi Kappa Psi chapter of that
fraternity in Columbia; his home
addresses are Warrington Hotel,

race, Atlanta.
Associated with Mr.. Stoddart in
the preparation of the original
drawings for the hotel was the firm
of Esenwein & Johnson, of Buffalo,
but the great burden of designing
and inspecting fell upon Mr.. Stod-
dart, whose work has been eminent
ly satisfactory to President Wallow-
er and the Board of Directors.
Speaking of the latter sentiment 1t
may be emphasized that MIR. Stod-
dart was moved to genuine emotion
when he gave tribute to the men of
Harrisburg included in the Board
of Directors and all they who helped
in the great undertaking.

ingly, "I have never come in con-
tact with gentlemen who so readily
and enthusiastically got together for

Nobody had 'em.

Obviously the same trifiing men,
ory made no appeal to Architect
Stoddart, for he Is primarily stu
dent. a man of profound thought;
in brief. one of the very top-notch
designers of this generation. He
was considerate enough to explain
that the name Adam is known every
where as that of an Englishman,
whose work marks a distinct epoch
in English architecture, the same
being a modification and refinement
of the English type. Needless to
say, Mr.. Stoddart, in all his eXtraor-
dinary building throughout the
South has proved that art should be
the basic principle of all construc-
tive work. He has the genius to
adapt building to its environment.

there Is an individuality or stroke

United Hotels
Big Company

TN an interview, Frank A. Dudley,
i president of the United Hotels
Company explained: THE
United Hotels Company of America
is recognized as one of the import
ant industrial organizations of the
country. 1t is international in char
acter. directing the operation of
great chain of hotels covering the
eastern part of the United States
and the Province of Ontario, Cana
da. The company does not lend it
self to promotions of hotels, the op-
Grafton of which it does not direct.
The high-class operation given to
hotels under it's direction soon made
for these hotels a reputation for
excellence, comfort and service
which popularized them with the
better class tourist and commercial
travel.
"All branches of hotel manage
ment and operation are fully pro-
Nlueu AOE III lllS VI biiliSohiOh VI thS
company. From the selection of the
site to the opening of the hotel every
step taken is in the hands of men
of successful experience.
"All business has it's risks, but un-
der the management and accounting
systems established in the United
organization, a hotel is given scien-
tifc business direction which could
not be secured by individual cper-
alton. The placing of the operation
of the Penn-Harris under the direc-
ton of the United Hotels Company
of America insures the highest class
of operation with the greatest OPP
portunity of profit.
Through the assistance of the
United Hotels Company of. America
system of automobile tours has
been established, extending from
Harrisburg to the Gulf of Mexico
and Florida points. A beautiful
book entitled Southern Tours has
been prepared by the Southern
Tours Company and distributed
throughout the United States"

Already Harry r. Price, assist
ant manager of the Penn-Harris Ho-
tel, has made his way into the
hearts of many Harrisburg people.
He has a pleasing personality and
he combines a friendly disposition
with large hotel experience. He
has been associated with Mr.. Wig
gins, the manger, for seven years,
and has been taught by him the
alpha and omega of the hotel busi-
ness. He was the steward when
Mr.. Virgins was the manager at
the Jefferson Hotel, at Peoria, ILL.,,
and had the responsibility of all the
buying at that hotel. He was pro-
noted from one position to another
by Mr.. Virgins, who naturally in
vited him to become his assistant at
the Penn-Harris.
