Men BelIhops and Walters
Get More Tips Than Women,
Labor Statistics Reveal

Hotel guests pay far larger tips to
bellhops and walters than to chamber
maids, according to estimates of nan
ayers Of 1853 hotels reported In the la
Dor review Of the department Of labor.
The figures show that maids receive
average tips Of only from IL to SO
cents a day, as compared with $1.27 to
$3.7S for bellmen and from $1.16 to
$3.67 for walters.
The difference makes the real in
come Of maids less than bellmen, al
though the average daily rate Of wages
is $1.29 for the maid and SO cents for
the bellboy.
The report shows that men working
In hotels and restaurants outnumber
women in occupations usually regard
ed as women's work. OF the 10000
employees counted in those vocations.
$4,000 are men. OF the cooks 8 per
cent are women, Of the dishwashers,
40 per cent are women, and Of the
kitchen help, 81 per cent are women.
A striking contrast between the
wages paid men and women in the
same occupation is shown by the re-
port, which is said to be the first ever
prepared on q nationwide scale for
the hotel business. Thus, "a men
cooks are paid $40 a day, while only
one woman receives as much as So a
day. The largest group of men clean.

u. S. People Own
6,786,55O Cars
Census Shows One Motor Vehicle
10 Every IS Persons

There is one motor vehicle for every
I5 persons in the United States. This
calculation is based on the latest au-
thentic automobile and truck regis
tration figures compiled. The total
number Of passenger cars and trucks
listed is 6,7S6,550. This represents a
13 per cent gain over the 6,023, sos reg
istry of January 1, 1919.
A neck and neck race is being
waged between New York and Ohio
for leadership in state registration of
motor vehicles, New York leading with
500, 1888 and Ohio with 100000 cars and
trucks. Next in the "big six" group
are Pennsylvania, Illinois, California
and Iowa.
Since the first of the year Is states
have made percentages of increase
greater than the national increase of
Is per cent. Those states are: Ohio,
California, Georgia, Virginia, Tennes-
see, North Carolina, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia,
Louisiana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and
Delaware.
Tennessee, West Virginia and Ken
lucky lead the South rs well as the
entire nation, and in the order named.
Unprecedented cotton and tobacco
prosperity has placed this section well
to the fore. Since 1917 the census Of
automobiles in the Southern states has
increased better than 100 per cent.
Iowa Is still the leading state in per
capita ownership with a car for every
8.95 persons. Nebraska is runner
up with one car for 7.01 persons. Wis
consin has one car for every 11.36 per-
sons. The tail-end position goes to

sons.

PROFIT FROM
RAISING POULTRY

There is considerable profit in poul-
try at the present time. The matter
Of profit in poultry keeping Is a thing
which each person must solve for him
self, so much depends upon the keeper.
Poultry raising is not easy work; it
requires lots Of time and patience.
Where stock is kept and poultry has
free range, a hen may be kept for a
year on four to six pecks of corn or
its equivalent. No one thinking of
going into this business can figure on
a profit above 81 a hen, and that is
much too large if the keeper is mex
p%erienced.
If the hens are given warm, clean.
dry quarters and a variety of grain
green vegetable food of some kind
with plenty Of ground oyster shells
and once or twice a week a little
ground bone and meat meal, they will
keep In good thrifty condition. Early
Matched pullets will usually commence
to lay about the middle Of January.
One and t~wo-year-old hens will seldom
lay when the weather Is very cold.
A practical p%oultryman says:
Cleanliness, a variety of grain, regu-
larity Of feeding, pure clean water
given twice a day, and a well-littered
shed for exercise, must be provided.
l feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and
oats in the morning and evening; the
grain Is sown over the cut straw in
the feeding room. At noon scalded
fne-cut clover hay mixed with wheat
bran and a little oil meal Is fed. On
this food the hens lay fairly well, even
in cold weather. I raise most all Of
my feed and have an abundance Of
grass and clover pasture in summer,
and rye and wheat pasture in winter.
When snow covers the ground, / feed
cabbage leaves, beets and turnips, cut
fine and mixed with bran. There Is
not much money in the business IL
most of the grain has to be bought and
hired help employed"

Proposed Law Provides
for $780, 900 for Care
of Drug Habit Patients

Measures to combat the increasing
number Of drug addicts following up
national prohibition have been intro
duced In the senate by Senator France
Of Maryland. chairman Of the senate
committee on public health. at the re-
quest Of the federal public health
service. He says the United States
leads in per capita use Of opium. The
bill would provide $5.000.OO0 for the
care of the drug-habit patients.
Senator France declared there are
about 100000 drug addicts in the
United States. $4,000 Of them In New
York, and about $4,000 in Chicago.
The drug habit is more prevalent
where prohibition has been In effect
longest, Kansas holding the record for
the largest number Of addicts accord
ing to population, Senator France de-
clared.
"The Harrison act never has been
rigidly enforced, because that would
have created a desperate situation In
the absence Of adequate hospital facili-
ties for the treatment Of those addict
ed to habit-forming drugs. particular
ly opium, heroin ard cocaine" said
Senator France.

Cancer Kills One in Ten
Over Forty; Durable, Federal
Health Service Declares

The federal health service, re-en.
forcing repeated advice from state
health boards and the American So
ciety for the Control of Cancer, has
issued a cancer circular for public dis
tribution. 1t declares one out Of every
ten persons over forty dies of cancer,
While the great war cost the United
States about $4,000 lives, cancer in
the same two years claimed 10000
people in this country.
The government agency warns that
cancer is unquestionably increasing
throughout the world, although it is
durable if treated early.
AT the beginning ANGER is usually
painless and difficult to detect" the
new bulletin points out. "At it's first
small growth il can be safely and
easily removed by a competent sur
geon. Cancer is not a constitutional
or blood disease, is not contagious,
and is, practically speaking, not her
editary. Persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores,
cracks, decorations, Jumps and ulcers
which do not heal, and warts, moleS or
birthmarks which change in size, color
or appearance, may turn into cancer
unless treated and cured. Persistent
indigestion in middle life, with loss Of
weight and change Of color, OIL with
pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for
thorough and competent medical ad-
vice as to the possibility of internal
cancer. A doctor who treats a sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not know
his business"
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all-important.

Give me the room whose every nook
Is dedicated to a book;
Two windows will suffice for air.
And grant the light admission there
One looking to the south, and one
To speed the red, departing sun.
The eastern wall from frieze to plinth
Shall be the poets labyrinth,
Where one may find the lords Of rhyme
From Homer down to Dobson's time;
And on the northern side a space
Shall show an open chimney-place;
Set round with the ancient tiles hat tell
Some legend old, and weave a spell
About the firedog-guarded seat,
Where, musing one may taste the heat;
Above, the mantel should not lack
For curios and bric-a-brac-
Not much, but just enough to light
The room UP when the fire is bright
The volumes on this wall shall be
All prose and all philosophy,
Fro1. Plato down to those who are
The dim reflections Of that star;
And these tones all shall serve to show
How much we write-how little know;
For since the problem first was set
No one has ever solved 1t yet.
Upon the shelves along the west
The scientific books shall rest;
Beside them history; above
Religion-hope, faith and love;
Lastly, the southern wall should hold
The story-teller, new and old;
Haroun al Raschid, who was truth
And happiness to all my youth,
Shall have the honored place Of all
That dwell upon the sunny wall;
And with him there shall stand a throng
OF those who help mankind along
More by their fascinating lies
Than all the learning Of the wise.
Such be the library; n take
