In his annual report he takes pains to-call attenition to some facts that shed important light on results reported in the operation of government hotels.. . ., . Durmg the war the g‘overnmant ‘erected a large hotel .in sthmgton to house government employes, and this hotel is still in operation’ under the management’af 4 “Plaza Council.” This council pomted to figures showing that the government ap-| ¢ propriated $994,298. for'the ‘dperation of the hotel during the last fiscalyear, while receipts from guests to the amount of $T, 029,180 wege‘cglvlected leaving an apparent profit of $34,881. Commenting upon this, Secretarv Davis remarks: @ “Thése profits are shown only because no account i is taken of rent, interest on investment, depreciation, taxes, ete.” The hotel property above mentioned 1epresents a federal investment of almost $3,000,000 for construction and equip- ment, not courtting the‘value of the land, which already belong- ed to the government and which w1ll ultxmatel,y be used for pub- lic park purposés. Interest on this mvestment, would be $150,- 000, even at the low rate of 5 per cent.; Depreciation would be easily another 5 per cent, and taxes at the ratecharged in the District of Columbia would be another *one ang-one-half perr cent. Since the federal government bears half the taxes in the| district; the taxes would really be 3 per cent. 1f: thesé three items of interest, d"plecmtmn and taxes be mcluded the results of the operation of the government hotel would show a loss of more than $350,000 instead of the claimed profit of $34,000. Secretary Davis 1s, evidently, not a government ownership advocate, for he says in his report in connection with the hotel: | “Furnishing, as it does, excellent hotel accommodations at: a*cost which includes no profit nor many of the items of over- head expense entering into similar operations by private enter- prise, no doubt it would be appreciated by the workers through- out the country if this service could be extended not.onlyto gov-| ernment employes, but.to other wage workers'as wéll, chnrgmg the resulting loss to the taxpayers of the nation.”: In this connection it is interesting to note the information that the government hotel in: Washington: ¢harges its-guests $45. B0 per month for room and ‘two meals per day. A large hotel owned and operated by the Salvation Army for the henefit of women, and conducted on a strictly business basis; charges pat- rons $45 per month for room and board. It:is evident from this comparison that although the government hotel: does not have the usual overhead charges to.meet, it/i3 not' giving service at|™ mfich less than rates ordinarily charged for similar service else- where. pasbiliitcnke, Sk 43 AND NOW IT IS BRAN! If anyone were to suggest that taste matters most in mat- ters of taste; he would be charged with trifling with the English language. Yet he would. be right. Our standards in art and letters are fundamentadlly the same as those of ancient Greece. It is among foods—things we really taste—that we find notions changmg with every age and generation, We admire the sculpture that was popular in Rome, and “design our monumental building in" classic styles. Yet no" one would eat the nightingales’ tongues that were considered such a delicacy by Lucullus. head, of his time. Eventoday we copy French fashions, but not to-the extremity of -dining on-snails, When the famous Doctor Samuel Johnson wrote his dic- tionary of the glmh language he dismissed the cereal “oats” with the expla on that in “civilized” countries it was a food for anmials, but that in'Scotland it was also an article of human consumption. Aside from the gratuitous insult by which the choleric lexicographer vented his spleen on the Scotch, his def- inition 'was accurate. Yet in the century and a hal{ that have elapsed since Johnson was literary dictator, oatmeal has become kn'own to mankind everywhere. Now that our scientists have shown how white flour,loses much of its vital, health-giving quality in the milling of the wheat, we must revise our estimate of bran. Although it con- tains the very virtues lacking in white flour, there was; little market for it a generation ago except as feed for horses and cat- tle. With the discovery of ways for processing it into a delicious food of exceptional nutritive value, and with doctors recom- mending it for chronic ailments of the alimentary tract, it ap- pears that we are to appropriate arother article from the an mal dietary and, after thousands'of years, give it the full recog- nition-Nature intended for: it among the foods of man. - @RI E 153% the Umted .. “For the ten months ended Octobery: States imported. merchandise from Egynt 12,357, /713" says:the Department of Commerce. 1%, 729 of /it ¢onsisted of Iong staple cotton. £l ek 3 _—— £ -One/'of “our ‘noted - professors’ now* adm:t& thaf eriéan § glrls are lovely. .
