Wonderful New Device
: Is ihllfci byHoteU
Have yon seen the latest thing in
the way of hotel electric registering
pens? - -
It is not the pen handed out by
the desk clerk .to incoming' guests,
but it is the private pen of the
room -clerk, who, in copying the
name of the new arrival, in assign
ing him to a room.' .makes out the
room card, and In doing so. by an
electric device. hhched to his pen, or
stylus, every department Is given
simultaneously, the .name of the
guest, his room number and other
details.' - Thus. . for Instance, the
head waiter, bell boy. "boots.
steward, elevator boys, manager,
.cashier, news stand clerk and each
and every other department has ad
vices, of the .new arrival, and all
about him, where he or she came
from, and It Is even hinted that th
color of the eyes, dress, and general
appearance will alao .be put Into
print in the not distant future.
It would be difficult under such
circumstances for a guest to make a
quick "getaway," even by -sneaking
down the fire escapes, without first
settling all his bills at the hostelry.

HOW RED CROSS
SPENDS MONEY
Every Dollar Contributed for
Relief Goes for Relief,
Says Official
MEYERS HAS STATEMENT
Theory That High Salaries
Are Paid Is Exploded by
Accounts -
"Every dollar contributed for re
lief goes to relief' Is the announce
ment made by the Red Cross war
council, of WasbinKton, D. C, to the
public: through a statement made to
Willamette chapter and given out for
publication by Chairman II. W.
Meyets. The statement Is in the
form of -in itemized accounting of
the receipts and expenditnreof the
American Red Cross and it shows
that the entire expenses of admin
istration is, borne by membership
dues, leaving every cent of the war
fund to be uUlfzed for reljef pur
poses. i
The statement stows that the total
appropriations made from the Red
Cross war fund -tip to January 9.
1918, amounted to 7.7,8 4 3.4 35.3;
from the general fund. $1,289,292,
and from the miscellaneous funds,
$318,000, making an aggregate total
of $79,450,727.35 for all purposes.
These appropriations show a total Of
$44,657,795.99 for foreign relief; a
total of i$2,612.532.60 for United

or. resale to chapters in this country.

which is also Included in the $30,
519.259.60 for work In France, as
well as $11,288,417 for material for
resale to chapters. It must thus he
considered as a working fund and as
a Pnuid asset, rather than ' an ex
peiture. The total appropriation for ad
ministration at national headquar
ters and at division headquarters
amounted Jo $1,289,292 for the last
six months' period. This Includes
$365,000 for divisional administra
tion expenses and $250,000 donated
for telegraph and cable service by
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany, the .latter item extending over
a considerably longer period of time.
These appropriations did' not come
out of the! war fund but are more
than covered from the portion of
membership dues received at nation
al headquarters. These membership
dues, which more than paid for all
administratipn expenses, were such
dues received before the recent mem
bership drlvp was made.
