KNOW YOUR ONIONS j By Wlckes Wamboldt One of the pathetic things is to hear somebody in New York, who has never been , half a mile from Broadway trying to impersonate a cotton-patch darkey. Usually the impersonator has gotten bis ideas from an impersonator who got his ideas from an impersonat or, anjl not one of these 'imperson ators has ever come In close con tact with a colored man except in a" New . York atmosphere. An important rule laid down for the writer Is never to write about a thing he does not understand; and a good rule for the imperson ator is never to impersonate a character with which he Is not ac uainted. i We have all seen shows por traying the life of some section of the country where the folks have distinctive characteristics, and-there would not be a member of the company who had ever studied these people at first hand; apparently . their only knowledge Jof the people they were interpretl I had come from the lines of the play. Such a portrayal is absurd to anyone who knows the genuine goods.. ; , ; It is hard to understand how such companies get before the footlights. Probably the best ex planation is that the produceo himself doesn't knqw any better. Such producers usually lost money. A man may expect to lose money when he tries to put over some thing1 about which he knows noth ing. -' ' '. ' ''.' Impersonation is extremely at tractive Where tho' character Im personated is interesting and the impersonation skillfully done. One can tell whether an impersonation is faithful or not. iven though one I may be unfamiliar with the type jof character impersonated. . There jis the ring of the genuine and the j lack of ring in the false that can he detected even by the inoxper I fenced. One does not have !to 1 know the he man of the rugged (West to recognize, a weak imita tion wlipn some anaemic looking youth with a baby face and hair slicked back comes out on the stage in a flannel shirt, shaps, boots, spurs, a sombrero two sizes too large for him, and a very new, shiny pistol with which he seems entirely unacquainted. Yet such an Individual ofter attempts to play the dauntless, devilish cowboy of . the plains.

MOWRY Secretary American Community Advertising Association . A city's hotels are its front door. They are the first things by which strnngers will, judge the city. Hotels can help the city and they tan harm it immeasurably. A city cannot forge ahead without good hotels. And the construction of new hotels is usually a community enterprise, with the rank and file of citizeYis investing most of the needed funds. CITIES SELL STOCK Four cities Frederick, Md Syracuse, N. Y., Bed ford, Ind., and Urbana, 111. found that they needed hotels. They sold stock aggregating $2,573,400 and got them. The same thing is now being done in Bridge port, N. J., Effingham, 111., and Beatrice, Neb. Dos Moines, la., is a convention city because of its fine hotel facilities. New dollars are constantly being brought in because the front door to the city is inviting. Two conventions held in Des Moines brought nbout $5,000,000 into the city enough, as one paper remark ed, to pay for both of Des Moines' new hotels three times over. IMPROVE TOWN Good hotels nlso help to bring the rest of the town up to par. The North Shore Hotel in Evanston, III., did a lot to improve the shops on Davis street, for instance. Hotels also advertise their communities. The Ban croft of Worcester, Mass.; the Davenport of Spokane, Wash.; the Mission Inn of Riverside, Calif.; these are a few cases in point. . . . a rousing breakfast-time story no other hotcake (lour can hope to tell.
