Trading on Honesty-and Winning

sort of "help yourself hotel

of operation Of a hotel on this plan, handling numerous strangers,
people whom he had never seen before. Brooks declares that he
has lost but two dollars. And he is SO well pleased with his plan
that he is planning to add more rooms for the accommodation
of his growing business.
The basis of trade is credit. and the basis of credit is hon
eSty. Brooks seldom goes about his hotel. His guests deposit their
money for rooms once every week OF SO. Rules and regulations
hang in the lobby. They are the first thing, almost, that the
guest sees. There is 3 book. The guest registers and notes the
number CT the room he takes. A blackboard on the wall shows
which rooms are occupied. When a guest takes a room he grasses
it from the list of unoccupied rooms, and places the number with
the list OF occupied. A container on a table holds envelopes. Each
guest takes an envelope and writes the number Of his room on
it. When leaving he places the money in the envelope, seals it
and drops it in a lock box. Simple, isn't it?
Up in Waller county, Texas, a couple operate a general store
on the same principle that Mr.. Brooks operates his hotel. The
store is well stocked, and the customer is invited to paw whatever
he thinks the value Of the article bought. The owners saw the
loss is negligible. The community is, Of course, a small one.

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE CAPITOL

Lillian Gish does not act. but
rather lives the title part in The
White Sister, now playing at the
Capitol Theatre. Cast by nature to
give IN illusion Of belonging more
to another world than this one, she
puts y apirtual quality. an emotion
and tcnsity into the part which
rises to breath taking moments OF
artistry.
No one has kept alive finer flame
than Lillian Gish, 4 flame that has
learned to burn always more bright
ly, and with Il surcncsS cquallcd
only by the constant admiration of
thousands. Hers is perhaps the
greatest talent among real screen
players, and the promise Of splendid
things given in her old Biograph
days is supremacy fulfilled in Henry
King production of The White
Sister. Her popularity today is as
sturdy as in the old day with the
added advantage of having grown
with each new performance.
