crican ideas are being sought through
an agent of the Chamber in the Uni tee
State9. A series of articles for hotel •
men is being published by the organ
ization's official paper. The necessity
of modern toilet conveniences, honeit
treatment, and otherwise conforming
to the standards of the United States
are emphasized.
Cleanliness is given the most r.t
tention by the Chamber’s agent in the
United States and he cites condition.-*
in some of the French hotels that
would be surprising to an American.
He recommends the use of white or
1 light paint to prevent the gloominess
: of interiors, greater illumination, ro
; cognition of the bathtub from the Am
j erican point of view, removal of var
ious unsanitary quarters from near
the kitchen, elimination of little ser
vice charges and other changes.

SMALL PAPLRS
WASHINGTON, Dec., 17— Repre
sentative Anthony, of Kansas, told the
House Postal committee today, that
between 2500 and 3000 small news
papers face suspension if not extinc
tion if the news print situation is not
remedied. Senator Anthony urged fed
eral action on his bill which is to limit
newspapers, dailies, weeklies, or other
periodicals using the second class mail, j
to only 24 pages. He said the large
size of the city dailies was causing th* ]
utper shortage. Senator Anthony
stilted that news print had gone up
from 3 to 14 cents a pound without
cause and that large dailies vrere pub
lished advertisements for the big con
cerns who were advertising in order
to defeat the government on excess
profit taxes.

When it comes to the hard
“knock - down ■ drag - out"
service that a fisherman
gives hoots, ordinary rubber
can’t i land up.
But Goodrich “Hi-Pres ;” Rubber Boots and
Shoes aren’t ordinary. I hey’re made in a
better way—in ONE SOLID PIECE—and
they can’t leak or peel.
One pair will outlast a w hole
season of hard service—out
wear two or three ordinary
pairs.
Put your money on Good rich
44 Hi-Press” and you’ll never
be satisfied with anything
else.
