.FIDAC FAVORS DEBT
ADJUSTMENT POLICY
Interallied Veterans Body Ap-
proves Motion by American Dele
gates on War Obligations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Upland, September Ii
The convention Of the Interallied Vet
erans' Association. commonly known
as Fidac, finished its sessions here
have gone to Cracow and Zakotane,
where the closing ceremonies will
take place.
The convention yesterday unani-
mously adopted the American motion,
the gist of which is that the sacrifices
made during the great war fought
for common cause and the economic
and financial conditions of a country
should be taken into account in the
adjustment of all interallied debts.
And if time shows that the present
debt agreements are contradictory to
that principle, the creditor nation
should allow reconsideration of the
agreement.
The American delegation insisted
on placing on record that this resolu-
ton embodies no criticism in any way
Of the United States Government or
its conduct. The news Of the admis-
sion of Germany to the League Of
Nations caused the Fidac convention
to urge all allied and associated ma
tons to insist on making Germany
comply strictly with article 16 Of the
leagues covenant the clause outlaw
ing war;, especially in view of the
existence Of the German-Soviet
treaty. The Italians endeavored to
have the convention discuss the re-
vision and distribution of colonial
mandates. but the French and Brit.
ish delegations insisted that matter
was too serious to be discussed with
out adequate preparation.

LEWIS HOTEL SCHOOL
WILL OPEN FRIDAY
Courses to Include New Glasses in
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Work Given.

Exactly one year ago the Lewis
Hotel Training School moved to it's
own new $250.000 building at Twenty
third street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Each day scores Of local people call
at the schooi with their housekeeping
troubles, many asking that short
course in modern home cooking be
included in the curriculum. The
need Of this has become so evident
that already the addition Of two or
three stories is contemplated to take
care of this growing necessity.
Hotel men and women, as well as
casual callers, are pleased that the
instruction involves so much actual
practice in the different branches or
hotel management.
One of the features is catering 70
the business and social clubs through
out the city. Banquet tables are set
up and the entire meal is planned,
cooked and served by the students.
Many hotel men have taken to this
method of securing trained help. In
Washington there are from one to
10 Lewis graduates in every hotel.
Each mail brings in requests for
Lewis students for positions as man
ayers, stewards, housekeepers ana so
on down the list. They are desirous
of obtaining trained men and women:
knowing that there will be no loss OF
time and money in "breaking them
in" on the new job.
Originally the Lewis School taught
by correspondence only. 1t was es.
tablished as a correspondence school
in 1916. Gradually the need OF resi-
dent training was made evident, so
that in 1920, the first resident class
was formed.
Friday the new Fall classes begin,
giving instruction in hotel manage
ment, tea room, cafeteria, restaurant
training and hotel accountancy.
This latter class is one that is
opening up a new field for those IN
terested in this type Of work. The
first class of this kind was estao-
lished a few months ago at the re-
quest of hotel managers who were un-
able to get trained men and women IN
their auditing departments.

orchestra, the Japanese succeeded in
what hundreds of Americans had
failed.
The hotel dancing master tried to
argue with him, but the effort was in
vain. for the dancers professed to
speak japanese only. So the couple
went on with their dance not knowing
what the trouble was about and at the
end of the hour 200 couples were
Charlestoning, or attempting to
Charleston. The next evening the
signs prohibiting the Charleston had
disappeared from the various hotel
dance floors and the new dance is
sweeping over the city rapidly.

COLORED JAMS A FAD.
English Tea Tables Given Var1e-
gated Tone.

LONDON, September II R).-
bright colored Jams have become a
new fad in color schemes for the Eng
lish tea table.
"The really up.to-date color for Jam
lust now is mauve," says the Hotel
keepers Gazette. cit is obtained from
what is known as the Quebec. blue

Bright colored jams certainly should
give a pleasant touch to the color
scheme Of the tea table.

FOR AWAIT ION
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.Incor-
poration papers were to be filed
today in Albany for the establish
ment Of the Daniel Guggenheim
fund for the promotion Of aero
nautics. The fund Of $1,000, 900
is set aside by Daniel Guggen-
helm, who recently dedicated the
remainder of his life to develop
ing aviation, and is to be used
to foster the science of flying
until air freight and passenger
service become self-supporting.
In ia letter to Secretary Hoover
announcing his gift, Gnggenheim
predicted that flying would be an
Independent industry i ten years.
At the end Of this period Guggen-
helm intends to terminate the fund
The trustees are at liberty during
the stage Of development to spend
the principle as well as the interest
in furtherance of aviation.
A half million Is made immed.
lately available. The trustees have
not yet been named.
Guggenheim hints at future gifts
such as the one of 100000 for q
school of aeronautics at New York
University WHICH he made last
summer. He suggests the follow
ing rules to guide the trustees:
Restrict the work of civil actiYi-
ties. M
Avoid duplication Of effort with
other aeronauticaI organizations. 4,
Avoid work which is properly
a Government function.
One of the reasons for the estab-
lishment Of the fund was the very
wise endorsement by the president"
of the recommendations by the ma
tional advisory committee for aero
nautics of a bureau Of air naviga-
ton to be founded by the Govern
ment.
The fund must not be profit
making and any earnings that
should accrue are to be spent with
the fund.

All foreign diplomats assigned to
the United States would be stripped
of their diplomatic immunity and
subjected to enforcement of the pro-
hibition law under terms of a bill
sponsored in the Senate this after
noon by Senator Cole Blease CD
of South Carolina.
Due to its broad terms the bill
would apply all American laws to
foreigners. whether they were tenn
porary visitors here or sent in an
official capacity. The American
criminal code would be made to
apply to the foreign embassies, lega-
tionss and consular offices, just as
it does to the homes of Americans.
