Boyle's Column Life Of A "House Dick" Proves An interesting One By HAL BOYLE LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 31 ) Howl guest (re getting more nonest. "Since the war they don't take so many towela and sheets," aald w. H. Howard, a veteran nouse detec tive. "About all we lone l soap now. The aouvenlr collectors aren't much of a problem." Like so many "home dick." How ard, a fatherly man of 05. I a former law enforcement officer. Hotel prefer for this work elderly men with a background of police experience because they have learned how to handle embarrassing situa tions with tact and diplomacy. Howard carries a police revolver but haa never had to use It He walk from five to ten miles a night during the ten hours he is on duty. But his patrol la better than an out door beat. It never rains in a hotel corridor and rugs are a degree gentler than concrete pavement. Interesting Life Being a hotel detective Is an in teresting life although the pay is generally small. "There's hardly a night that some thing new doesnt turn up," aald Howard, auch as the evening he met a soldier who cut one end off his pillow and dreamily shook it out the window Just to match the feathers float down. In Howard's opinion the soldier belonged to the poetic rather than the criminal type. He said that most guests are easy to deal with and only about one a day in a 500-room hotel try to beat the bill. His chief duties are threefold: to firotect guests from their own care essness, catch and evict occasional sneak thief prowlers and "see that the help doesn't run off with the hotel." "About twenty-five guests each night forget to lock their doors," he said. "But It's usually easy to spot prowlers. Most often they're young punks who think they can get away with murder and nobody will notice it. But they're not hard to handle." Unless caught in an actual theft the prowler is quietly evicted with out fuss or hullabaloo. Constant Worry "Our big problem Is to protect our guests from themselves," said How uiiMniAAir U.JUUHi.1 fSCICESIIVI TRACT And Stop Doting Your Stomach ' With Soda and Alkali Deal DM lo rat ml relief From baedsrea. ; eeur irk, tm ud bed breete bjr talrisg I eoda a ether oiksljeere ta true eraaoi ; vnt licllMl la MinelUielioa. j ta tkli am year reel boukle b sot la the I 'etoaeca at eg.

"I saw one man go Into his room pretty much under the weather." recalled the detective, "l peeked through the transom and saw hi in lying In bed snoring with a lighted cigarette In his mouth. I went in, took the clgaret and put It out. He never even knew I had come into his room." Because of the series of recent disastrous hotel fires, hotels have posted placards warning against smoking In, bed. Howard and two fire wardens regularly patrol the corridors to watch against this danger. Howard has four simple rules wnicn ne minus all guest.s anould observe In hotels for their own wel fare: 1. Be sure to lock your door before retiring or leaving your room. 1. Dont smoke In bed. 3. Check the location of the near est fire escape before retiring. 4. Don't form new acquaintances among outer notei guests. "If you observe those rules." said Howard, "you can be sure of waking up in the morning safe with your money still in your pocket." Heat Kills Strawberries SALEM. May 21 The straw berry harvest in the Salem area might be reduced by as much as 30 per cent by the current heat wave, growers predicted today. They predicted that the harvest might last only three or four weeks, compared with five weeks last year. The harvest probably will be fin ished by the time school is out. thus depriving growers of school children to help pick the berries. This has been the driest May in Salem's history, with only .03 of an inch of rain so far this month.
