HOTEL VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL
 PLACED IN STATE
F. A. Dudley, Chairman Edu- cationaI Committee Ameri- can Hotels Association,
 Decides on Alabama

One of the four hotel vocational training schools to be established in the United States will be located near Birmingham. It will possibly be situated at Ragland and will be conducted in cooperation with the state vocational plan if the present recommendations of Frank A. Dud- ley, president of the United Hotels company, and chairman of the edu- cational committee of the American Hotel association, are followed. MT. Dudley being in chief charge of the international hotel educational plan, his recommendation win be final, so far as the hotel association is concerned.
 BelIboy to Manager There will be one school in each section of the United States to teach matters of hotel training broad enough in scope to include all branches of hotel work from tellboy 10 manager.
 One school will be at New York. one at or near Chicago, one on the Pacific coast and another in Alabama. The contributary states of Louisiana Florida and Georgia will be included in the southern group.
 The company of which MT. Dudley is president operates the largest string of hotels in the world, includ- ed in which is the Tutwiler hotel. In 1922 business conditions will be on the upturn. MT. Dudley says. The east was first to feel the slump and the first to overcome it; the midwest ern states, where business is more centralized to an industry at one point, is next in order, he states.
 "rhe south is governed by senti- ment to a great degree, and con- ditions have been somewhat tempera- mentally affected" MT. Dudley says.
 But this is passing away with the increase of diversity in farming and getting away gradually from the ex- elusive cotton basis.
 Diversified Industries
 Applying this theory 10 Birming- ham, 1t is more diversified industries which Birmingham needs. Birming- ham should assert itself and let it's possibilities and beauties be known.
 "A convention bureau Is what Bir- mingham needs. and needs badly. Not to spend money on conventions after they are here but to spend money getting conventions here. Atlanta and New Orleans are getting the lions share of these conventions, At lanta's convention figures would sur prise you. Surely Birmingham should have at least half as many conven- tions as the Georgia city.
 Big men come with conventions. They see your city. They spend money here. eIf they see an oppor- tunity for business they will estab- fish branch and increase your city, The United Hotels company ex- pended $20,000, 900 in hotel expansion in 1921. Much of this was in Can ada. A $10,000.000 hotel in Detroit and a S3,000.00O hotel in Cleveland are on the 1921 program.
 MT. Dudley goes on brief hunting trip in Alabama today.

At the rate at which they are
breaking, the scandals of the Hard
ing administration promise to out
number those of all his Republican
predecessors for a generation.
The Observation-Disclosures scan
dial, thoroughly exploited by the
daily press, can be properly classl
fed as an administration scandal
Attorney General Daugherty was thu
personal selection of Presiden'
Harding, and was Senator Hard
ing's pre-convention campaign man.
ager. Y'%TTT
= In recalling the Newberry scandal
it will be remembered that Senator
Newberry was personal friend and
social favorite of President Hard
ing; that the appointment of the no
torious Nat Goldstein was made in
the face Of general public knowledge
of his connection with the Lowde;.
primary slush fund; that Presiden
Harding in the public prints endors-
ed the leasing of the last naval oil
reserves to subsidiaries of the
Standard Oil trust, although thesr
leases were made secretly and had
to be ferreted out by the vigilant
John B. Kendrick, Senator from
Wyoming.
The Old Guard is getting in bad
as time passes.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1922-06-02

After saying that "the situation
in the Senate at this moment consti-
tutes an Indictment of the good
sense of the Republican party" the
Washington Post charges the Re
publican Senate with making q
record Of absenteeism and neglect
of public business, which will surely
return to plague them" 1t points
out that with sixty Republicans in
the Senate there has not yet been
present quorum on any roll cal
during the tariff discussion, and
asks: "How can any Republican
Senator absent himself from the
Senate at this juncture and then asE
his constituents to re-elect him Oh
the theory that he has done good
and faithful service?"
President Harding, apparently
does not intend to accept the verdict
that the recent Republican primaries
in Illinois, Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania, where Old Guard reaction
aries and defenders Of the admins
tration went down in defeat, were a
reputation of the Executive or his
administration, for the administra.
ton organs are boldly charging that
the verdict was a Reputation of the
Republican Congress and not of the
administration.
