Roman Baths Overpraised.*
• The baths of ancient Rome so won­

ably with the modern bath. Judged
by standards prevailing before the
coming of Christ these baths were
wonderful, but measured by standards
of today the glories of Rome, marks

customary on this anniversary to pun­

with the date by sending them on
some foolish errand, similar to that

THE
H OTEL
W ORKER.
HE hotel worker gets her board
and usually her lodging, as well
as her salary. The salaries run from
$50 to $150 a month. Hotel positions
are interesting and important. A girl
must have intelligence, a good pres--
ence, good manners, and a level head.
She has responsibilities, and she ought
to be a judge of human nature. The
room clerk must have a good memory,
so that even with a large clientele she
will remember the different guests who
are making her hotel their home, and
she should be able to size up applicants
for rooms without hesitation.
The desk clerk comes Into direct
contact with the guests. - She is sta­
tioned at the desk in the main lobby,
and must be ready to answer all sorts
o f questions regarding not only the ho­
tel, but the city. She must be smart
in'appearance, have tact, courtesy and
unfailing good humor.
The floor clerk accepts packages, an­
swers phone calls, pays for C. O. D.
parcels. She often does stenography
for guests. She receives, sorts and de­
livers the mall for her floor. And $he,
too, answers questions.
Then there are the restaurant posi­
tions, the cafe cashier, the food check­
er, the waitress. All these positions
are good ones.
Moreover, there are the summer ho­
tels, where a girl gets room, board and
salary, varying according to the -type
of hotel. Many college women help
themselves through college In this way.
For the ambitious girl without defi­
nite training hotel work is to be rec­
ommended as an excellent way to earn
an Independent living.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS ‘
"CANARD.”
ENGLISH the word “ ca­
I N nard”
is used to signify a fab­
ricated,
sensational
sto ry -
something made up “ out of the
whole cloth,” a verbal bomb
usually sprung at the last mo­
ment so that there will not be
time successfully, to contradict
it. B u t. “ canard,” in French,
means a duck. There doesn’t
appear to be much connection be­
tween the two—-but thère is. In
fact the whole thing goes back
to ducks, twenty of them.
Norbert Cornelissen, a French­
man who lived during the last
century, determined to experi­
ment with thè credulity of the
public and reported to the news­
papers that he had a flock of
ducks, twoscore In number, of
which he took one, cut it into
small pieces and threw the bits
to the other nineteen, which de­
voured them ravenously. Then,
scarcely giving the ducks time
to get hungry, Cornelissen re­
peated the experiment and was
once more successful. “ In an
amazingly short space of time,”
hé declared, “ the flock was re­
duced to a single duck, which
had eaten his nineteen broth­
ers.”
Scientists
and
naturalists
argued about the matter for
some days through the columns
of the Parisian papers. Then
Comelisseh confessed that the
whole thing was a hoax. There
had never even been a flock of
ducks, Just the one that he kept
for purposes o f exhibition. But
the report had gained so much
publicity that the phrase “ duck
story” was implanted in French
slang, much as “ fish story” is an
accepted colloquialism in Eng­
lish. “ Canard” became synony­
mous with hoax and, instead of .
being translated, the word was
adopted bodily Into English in
its present sense.
