Washington, D.. G., july 31.-Pro-
lhibition is not the, only serious handi-
cap that NV York hotels have to
contend with nowadays. The public's
for one ailnent and another Is prov
ing equally fatal to profits. People
are not dining out nearly so fire.
quently as they used to do, because
the ordinary hotel menu does not
cater to their peculiar dietetic re-
quirements. -
But there is at least one hotel man
turbed by the new vogue for scien-
tifc dieting He is even enthusi-
astically in favor of<it.' as he has al
ways been in favor Of anything that
the public wants. ut is useless to
complain about the public's changing
demands" he said recently. THE
thing to do is to supply them" And
into his hotel a scientific, di@t service
consisting Of a wide variety lof
menus especially designed to fill the
needs Of all sorts Of dieters, whether
they be in the deadly grip IF diabetes

fled rel brick building on the corner
of Fifth avenue and 34th street
known as the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria.
He is a short. broad a fastidiously
dressed. with a square, impressive
face. black and white hair. and dark,
kindly eyes. His appearance, to-
dent OF possibly a minister sof the
things. He Is Oscar Of the Waldorf
-one Of New Forks famous person
70 the average New Yorker, whose
one and. only standard OF value is
money. Oscar is known merely as the
h~ishest-paid chef in America. but he
is really much more than this. He is
a culinary artist Of worldwide re-
nown. Presidents have lavished rap
turous praise upon his talents; many
ecstatic accounts have been written
concerning certain OF his p~re-prohibi-
ton .concoctions, and he has been
decorated by royalty. II he had lived
in another country, he would doubt
the, most that he can expect in this
country lie perhaps an honorary D. S.
degree from some a~ppreciative uni
versity. Impressed with the import
