His wife can reach him here at all times of day. All she has to do is call the Doghouse Association.
 And at the same time, we have established an hourly temperature check. The occupant of Dog house room leaves his home num- Der with the telephone operator. Every hour the operator will call the mans home and determine whether the wife has cooled down a bit and is willing to talk to her husband.
 This inventive genius has not merely theoriZed about 1t. At this hotel, he has arranged that mem tai ease will be given the Dog house occupant with a soothing color scheme in his room. And he has arranged for all assistant managers and floor men to be ready to listen to the mans tale of woe, day or night.
 Six of the hostery rooms have been earmarked for the Doghouse inmates. Each room is stocked with the latest best-sellers. Only one grim note in this library array is evident: 1t is a copy of Scho- penhauer's Dissertion on Woman, a bitter treatise.
 Toothpaste, shaving cream, 8 razor blade and pyjamas are given to all Doghouse inmates up- on registration.
