The contest will be open to the

TACTFUL MATTRESSES

- The traveller who is little inclined to be self-con-
stiUus> in hotel dining had better not read this.
1t will reveal to him how much the maitre dhote and
the people who him already know about his
foibles.
Says one dining manager, in hotel which
has recently replaced its walters with pretty
girls in order to get rid of formaty in the dining
room:
1--WE picked the giIls for personality and intelligence,
but mostly for personality We sent them to school
first. A professor of psychology addressed them
now to treat guest. Warned them to be especially
tactful in the morning. Told 'em it would be up to
them many times to suggest to guest what to eat.
Easily 90 per cent of the people don't know what they
want It's up to the girls to relieve patrons of just
as much trouble in connection with the process of
ing as possible
There's consolation in the fact that the tenn
peramental guest is to be treated with kindness They
see through him and know all his weaknesses and
follies but they humor him gently

BANISHTNG AUTOMOBILES

Chicago merchants, like merchants elsewhere, well
coined automobiles to their downtown business
lion 1T helped customers and helped them, for people
70 be able to drive right up their doors to make pur
cnases. But that in the early days of motoring.
The situation changed Automobiles and trucks
TANNED the Streets especially when they parked
Street after street marked mo parking, and
ssill the congestion grew. Merchants found automo
olies handicap. Parked cars kept trade away, and
moving cars swept by in Dense helpless mass, its
units unable to stop and shop of old.
SO downtown merchants began moving outside of
the Loop district, establishing branch stores out
side. Merchants in the outlying began pro
ut, because there there for parkngor they
could make room
Finally the inevitable has happened. The Chicago
city council has absolutely forbidden the parking of
motor cars anywhere in the Loop They may pass
through, but must not stay there except for letting
passengers in and out.
Here is seen, in big city, what is happening 60
ing to happen, to every growing city in America. The
business streets must be cleared of parked
Next to wider streets, more parking space is the
greatest need of cities Even the congested bus
ness districts might yet solve the problem by building
enough downtown garages to take care of the shop
1ers and business men. There is space above ground
pderground. The roofs of office buildings, most
ly unused might yet be adapted for that purpose. But
the general tendency is to Danish parked and at
the same time spread business out.

AN AMERICAN DISEASE

People who boast of their 100 per cent Americansm
may be interested in the only human disease eligible
for such honor.
Not that rabbit fever is peculiar to America. 1t
is almost universal. But it has been discovered and
identified in America, and given American name,
by American physicians. The medical term is 'Tuar-
aemia given in honor of Tulare County Calf where
DR.. Edward Francis did his work of discovery and
analysis.
Every scientist who has studied the disease is said
TO have contracted the fever himself 1t disabes its
victims sometimes for as long year No satisfac
tory remedy has yet been found but the development
of serum to control it is expected soon
1t is worth while at this of the year to be
On guard The disease is found in many animals but
Especially in rabbits, and is said to be communicated
human beings through contact with uncooked rab-
IS. Rabbit-hunting for this reason may lose
it's popularity.

HOPE FOR THE DRAMA

Apparently believing that there is something wrong
with current drama. Mr.. Charles Coburn attempted
the other day to explain what and why.
"Our difficulty today is that over-enter-
tained" he said "Why, can't wash the clothes
without turning on the rado Everybody hustles and
bustes about and lives at high tension"
This allows time for applying thought to enter
tanment and therefore leads to preference for
tertanment which has little thought in its matter
style. The drama has become sort of stepchild"
This actor is undoubtedly right about being
entertained. The public is like spoiled child with
new toy. He simply can't play with in moderation.
Many people think they have to leave their radios
turned on all through meal times and during
ming of conversation and bridge. They think they
nave to see every movie that comes along else be
back-numbers among their friends.
But it's hardly fair to blame all the dramas trou-
bles on movies and radio The people who patronize
them wholly and neglect the legitimate stage
did go TO the theater much. The people who used to
like serious drama still do Also there is growing
