New York. Feb. IS.-Thcro are n New York's two great railroad ter minals some so alert and trigger- minded clerks who answer the ba"- rage of questions at information desks. They are rarely slunpcd, 9l- though 4o per cent of the queries are foolish and nc; concerned with travel.
 The chief rcuuisitc Of an mform1- ton clerk IS tclihclate calm. pcO- pie usually approach him in q fcvcrish rush and he is trained 10 slow them up by q studied. mctho l. ical attitude.

 Still another can reel off the names of first class hotels in every city Of importance. here and abroad. I-ach one seems to have a flair for specialization in some particular line of questioning. Thus man at Grand Central who knows the nam" of principal business streets in all cities.
