Paris, Feb. Spy MaiD-oper-
ating a one-time French hotel on
an American plan is twenty-four-
hour-a-day affair with many tribu.
lations and also many laughs. The
United States government has now
been in control of the Hotel de Grill
Ion, which houses the peace commits
sion and its staff, for many weeks,
and in that period a gradual process
of "Americanization" has been
evolved.
Itshas come slowly and haltingly
and in its wake are any number of
shattered French customs, but ev-
eryone seems now to be fairly we'll
satisfied, even to the gentlemen
whose particular missions in life are
to catch rats. Therein lies a story.
Prior to American Occupation"
the Crillon management had a sys-
tenn whereby all employees who could
prove successfully that they had
captured and slain rat within the
confines Of the building would be
rewarded with half franc. This
system was explained in detail to
the American army officers who now
run the hotel, and they thought il
a good one to continue. They neg
lected, however, to reckon with hui
man nature, which, when combined
with lifeless rats, proves to be a
rather ornary proposition.
Enter Whiskered Rat. -.
The first rat captured and slain
after the American occupation
proved to be a large rodent, with
particularly long whiskers. The
French servant who proudly bore
the animal to the managers Office
was given half franc, and the man
ager turned the rat over to a sub
ordinate. A little later in the day
another French servant showed up
and dangled a rat before the eyes
Of the manager. He too, was given
a half franc. This incident. repro
duced four times the first day and
six times the second, aroused sus-
picion, and when DR.. Defunct Rat
next showed up a close examination
showed they had reproduced the
same rodent four times in
each, instance, although his carcass
had attained a composite value OF
about fifteen francs. The result of
the discovery, however, is that
whenever rat is killed and his body
is produced it is crennated instantly.
The working staff of the Crillon is
"fifty-ffty" Franco-American. That
is the entire retinue of servants. EN-
ployed in the hotel in normal times
were retained when our government
took over the place, and their nun1-
bers were amplihed by enlisted men
Of the army. Practically all of the
enlisted men, employed in and about
the hotel, are Casualties "-f1e1 who

SHOE CUTTERS GET IA HOURS
 IN HAvERHILL

Haverhill, July 17.-Thel i've day week of A hours for cutters and 45 hours for the other six crafts In the shoe industry was established here Tuesday when shoe firms that had for the past five weeks been opposed to the plan began signing price lists with the Shoe Workers Protective union.
 The union has price lists and arbi- tration agreements with 65 shoe firms, and 28 firms had granted the new schedule of working hours with no reduction in wages.
 The directors of the Haverhill Shoe Manufa cturers asSoc1a ton held a m ee ting, when they received the re- ply of the Joint Council of the S. w. P. U. that the various locals had the sole authority to regulate working hours and that the referendum vote of last Thursday for a five-day week for half of the year and a 12 day week for the other six months was illegal.
 It has been conceded by manufac- turers that the five-day week will be generally adopted.
 It Is expected that, beginning this week, the 12,e0O men and women en1- ployed In the 134 shoe factories here will have the entire day Saturday as a holiday. where for several years past they have enjoyed 8 haf-hohday on that day. It Is expected that the cutters who were called out on strike at the Billiard 6 Taylor and the c. K. Fox factories a week ago will re- turn to work tomorrow, as those firms have offered to sign the 44-hour agree ments.
 The members of the S. W. P. U. have been ordered to remain at work for 4s hours in factories where price lists have not expired, but this af ternoon manufacturers were hasten ing to sign up for a fiye-day week, the belief prevailed that the firms whose price lists have not expired will voluntarily reduce the schedule of hours from 4S to A for the cutters and 45 for the other crafts

the Balkans have compelled them to
ask for help.
With the resumption Of trans-Atlan-
tic steamship service, many foreign
born Americans hurried back to the
Balkans. Some came to seek friends
and relatives whom they have not seen
since the war began. Others had
property in these states before the
war and they are anxious to save what
they can Of it. 1t is often necessary
to wait as long as ten days to get
started over the border toward Bal
kan cities. The congestion increases
daily as trains bring new travellers,
and they are faced with shortage of
food, although most of them have
money.
American Red Cross workers who
found many Of these Americans sleep
ing on the station platforms, discov-
cred that most Of them were eager to
display their citizenship and knowl-
edge Of the language. Food to last
them during their long wait at the
station an dother necessities to those
who had lost their baggage in the
crush Of transportation are being CIV
en- out.

RECOMMENDATIONS MADE

Among other things suggested or recommended is the following:
 "Later on. probably next year, when the association is three years old, we , should endeavor to establish per- manent exhibit of Birmingham made goods-such an exhibit will do more to advance the manufacturing inter- ests of the district than any one thing I've can do. The association should buy its own building in which the eX hibit is to be displayed. The propo- sition can be financed so that it will cost no member one penny. Within just few years the building can be cleared of all indebtedness and it will belong to the association. The in come from the building will then be sufficient to meet the operating eX penses of the organization, thus mak- ing a membership in the association not only beneficial from a business standpoint but also of great value such a proposition once before was successfully handled, therefore it is no experiment. With a permanent home and something tangible to look for ward to, the membership will be more interested and resignationS will seldom be presented.
 1 would heartily recommend the appointment of a committee on a per manent exhibit with authority to make full investigation and recommenda- tion at some future meeting. On this committee 1 would suggest the appoint ment of one banker as member there of so that the other members may have the benefit of his opinion as to the feasibility of the project from a finan- cial standpoint.
