 FRENCH HOTEL
National Organization is at Work Trying to Attract American Trade to the French-Ameri can HOstelries.

Paris. France.-Tbe national cham Der of hotelkeepers has begun an ac- tive campaign to make French hotels attractive to Americans American ideas are being sought through an agent of the chamber in the United States. A series of articles for hotel men is being published by the organi- Zation's official paper. The necessity of modern toilet cOnvenences, honest treatment and otherwise conforming to the United States is emphasized.
 Breakfast" the correspondent re- ports lis the Americans best meal" and we must organize ourselves to give it to him and to serve it quickly. Also ice cream is the national dessert; it is eaten morning and night. Amer ica has machines for making this des- sert. Perhaps we can adopt model and later make it in France"
 The hotel men are cautioned by the correspondent against "a veritable or ganization to boost prices" which he said had been reported to him. Oth- erwise, he reasoned returning trav- elers would spread the bad news and i've would thus lose the chance we now have to make enormous profits"

the males the single are almost 1nvar- iably far more liable to die early than are the married of the same age.
 Hazard Greater in Mills.
 Fall River cotton operatives between the ages of 15 and A are about one- half (46 per cent) more liable to die, from all causes combined than are nonmill operatives of the same age, their hazard from tuberculosis being 100 per cent and from all nontuber- culous causes of death. 20 per cent greater than the hazard of all other persons. As to wor1room hazard it appears that the spinning and weave rooms are the two workrooms show ing the greatest peril for male work CTS, the death rates, both of single and married men, from all causes being greater than the corresponding rates of nonmill operatives. For both single and married females the spinning room is the room of greatest peril, fact which is important because the spinning room females are a youthful group. 70 per cent being under 25.
 Within industrial groups tubercu- losis is by far the commonest single cause of death, the tuberculous deaths being 45 per cent of the total deaths, both of male and of female operatives aged 15 to A.

 ''Advices and information coming from the Near East cannot be doubt ed There is great actual suffering and famine. These people, recently become independent and relear"d from bitter thraldom, cannot sup port themselves. And the Christ.an and common instincts of humanity which have prompted the people of the United States during the last two years to relieve the distress and needs, especially of the Near East, must not be allowed to grow cold and be diminished.
 ''I hope we shall all unite in this present emergency and be able to collect sufficient funds to enable these peoples to live and work until next summer brings them perma- nent relief and subsistence. 1 call upon ali to respond generously to the appeal now being made and trust that the committee will be gratified with the results"

DEATH HAZARD IN l MILLS IS GREAT
|p,reau of Labor Statistics Makes Study of Mill Condit-
 ions at Fall River, Mass.-WO- men are Bigger Risk.

u,osbinpton. D. C.-F'rOm an indus trial standpoint death at less than s s,d ace means a fixed and definite ,sss. inc worker has at each age q - Sertain expectancy of life, varying ac- ssrding to certain factors, but still soenitely ealculable, which makes his daath the loss of so much potential industrial activity.
 n bnlletin No. 251 entitled "Pre- ,antahle Death in the Cotton Manu- facturing Industry" just issued by the hnreau of labor statistics of the Uni tad States department of labor, is shown the real death hazard by age oroups for wage earners, especially for those engaged in the several rrocosses of cotton cloth manufacture and also what factors have been es- necially active in cutting off the lives If wage earners during age periods which are normally of greatest produc- ! tive activity.
 In this report, which is supplement- arv to an earlier report upon the sub feet. the death hazard, by age, sex and race of the entire operative popula- lion of Fall River, the leading cotton manufacturing city in the United States. is entrusted with the corre- monding hazard of the nonmill opera lives of the city for the five years, ! 1908 to 1912, inclusive, and study is made of the death rates of workers in the different rooms within the cot ton mill.
 Women Have Higher Death Rate. By a comparison of death rates by sex of the whole Fall River popula- ion, aged 15 to A, it is shown that females have appreciably the higher death hazard. From tuberculosis their . death rate exceeds that of the males l by 12 per cent, from nontuberculosis causes by per cent and from all causes combined by 8 per cent. Yet l while this is true of the population as whole, it is untrue of that DOT . ton of it (61 per cent) which does not work in the cotton mills, for among these three-fifths the male death rate exceeds the female by IA per cent.
 The total death hazard of the na- tive born exceeds that of the foreign born by per cent, though the native born are less liable than the foreign born to die of tuberculosis, the differ ence between the death rates being slight, however-less than 1 per cent. The Irish and French Canadians show
 the highest death rates among the different racial groups.
 In Fall River married females be- tween the ages of 15 and A are much more liable to die, both from tuber- culosis and from all nontuberculOus causes than the single, while among
