NEW YORK, April 30. The
metropolitan hotel is better known
these days by its band leader than
by the fame of its Mine HoSt.
With few exceptions. such as
Boomer of the Waldorf and Case
of the Algonquin, directing heads
of the great inns are cloaked in
obscurity. Only the trade knows.
So inaccessible are some direc-
tors that even old established
guests never see them. They rule
with rows OF push-buttons and
inter-office telephones behind bat
teries of private secretaries. They
come like great industrialists to
factories from their country home
daily.
Most of the major hotels have
grown entirely too large for per-
sonal contact. This pleasantly is
divided among the various hostess
es and floor clerks. The hotel

and later George Boldt and John

tance is no more.
This change has resulted in a
RECOMMENDATION wherein the guest is
known almost wholly by number.
But whatever warmth it lacks is
made up in such purely personal
comforts as the radio, free news
papers, seryidor and other mod
ern mechanical services unknown
in other days.

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla,
March 20. (UP). Two men
whose amphibian overturned
while making a landing al sea off
Lake Worth were picked up yes
terdav by the Sinclair Oil tanker
Samuel B. Fuller.
Charles B. Whitehead, pilot,
and Thomas Eastman, passenger,
both of New York, were the only
occupants of the plane.
1t was not determined whether
the plane was out of gas and was
attempting a forced landing or
whether it's motor had failed.
The plane overturned after
alighting, but remained afloat.
Whitehead and Eastman climbed
to the wings and awaited the ar
rival of the tanker, which was
steaming southwark several hun
dred yards away.
The lookout of the ship had
seen the plane going down at sea.
E. E. Stuart of Larchmont, N.

the Lake Worth Beach, said it
dropped as if making a landing,
skinned along the calm surface
of the water and suddenly nosed

DR.. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel

Compton as one of the pioneer

Energies found in cosmic rays
are the most powerful in the
world. They range from 1907
100000 to more than 100000
100000 volts. Scientists estimate
that lightning discharges approx
