Guests Always ‘Cooped Up’ at Hotel-It’s Chicken Residence

Roosters, Hens Occupy 500 Rooms With ‘Comforts of Home.’ By A /. J Seri ice MIAMI., Fla . July 31—" Please keep quiet, chickens upstairs," is the announcement which greets visitors to the huge, 500-room White House hotel here—where all the guests are roosters and hens. In this hotel, the hen takes the precedence; roosters are killed off when their days acclaim them as palatable fryer oossibilities. The hen queens it over all, and becomes the recipient of all the courtesy and attention which a hotel man confers only upon a favored visitor. Upon her arrival from the baby chick room, where she vas consigned when but a day old. her feathered highness is assigned to industrial quarters, a room tidy, cheerful and attractive, although but seventeen inches square. Cackles, Lavs Eggs There her days are spent in laving eggs, in cackling and singing as animated and continuous as that of any participant in a tea party which might have been held on the lawn, were the hostelry filled with tourist guests. If the newly arrived visitor does not take kindly to the food, or partake of a quantity sufficient to enable her to carry on her duties, the chef is consulted about a special diet Should another feathered guest refuse to take part in the social activities of the hotel, which in this case may be an egg-laying contest, she is sure to receive the cold shoulder from the more congenial and amenable arrivals, and is eventually fro2en out. When a visitor complains about the drinking water, either as to quantity or quality, that is soon remedied, for the little bubble fountains which provide the drinks may have become clogged. Comforts of Home Every thing is done by the management to make the guests feel comfortable and at home. There is a continuous supply of scientifically balanced mash feed ration, and similarly a constant supply of flowing fresh water.

Lights are turned out at 9.30, for there is no reason why these feathered visitors should indulge in late hours. There is no place to go, and nothing to see. and since they must rise with the sun. and commence their daily tasks, the early bedtime was unanimously adopted All a hen has to do is to eat. drink and sleep as much as she pleases—and lay eggs! And some of them are mighty good at it. too One sister has seventy-six eggs in fifty-two days to her credit, but the average fall into the 200 and 300 a year class. Remodeled Hotel When the constructive dream of M R Harrison of a 500-room tourist hotel in the metropolitan area came tumbling down during the depression. and which is now referred to as the boom." Harrison was determined to put the huge caravansary to some more practical use than simply letting it rot and fall apart. Hence the Hen hotel. Maximum egg production at a minimum cost, was to be the prime objective of the new enterpnse. The individual cage battery svstem was adopted for handling the flocks, one of the latest innovations evolved in modern poultry husbandry. This svstem virtually reduces commercial egg production to a factory basts. The chicks reach the hotel when a day old. the stock coming from

Discovery of Huge Statue in Andes Made by Anthropologist. By Britnrt Sen ire NEW YORK. July 31—A weeping stone giant twenty-four feet tall has been discovered at prehistoric ruins in the highlands of the South American Andes. Three big stone tears are carved on the giant's cheeks. Discovery of the enormous statute. ! pronounced unique in size, is reported by Wendell C Bennett, anthropologist of the American Museum of Natural History in a publi- j cation of the museum. While he was digging at the famous ruins of Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca, Bennett struck stone, and uncovered the statute lying flat on its back. Prehistoric Indians who carved the idol gave it a head band with plumes, cloth trousers in a polka dot design, and a wide, decorated belt. The hands are held before the chest and the left hand holds a cup. When the great figure stood erect and looked tearfully down on the little humans who made it, it was in the cents;r of a small temple. Bennett estimates that the stone weighs eighteen tons. Indians of this part of South America had extraordinary skill, and ant-like tenacity which enabled them to handle 1 enormous stones and to make them into gates, statutes, and monumental walls.

ARTIST OF DEPRESSION Losing Job Drives Man Into Success as Horn Carver. By United Prrtt HOUSTON, Tex., July 31—Two years ago found Frank J. Janowski facing a crisis. He was jobless, j had a wife and five children to! feed and the depression in its gloomiest stage. So he obeyed the promptings of an old hobby and today he is the i sole owner of a permanent and profitable business—horn carving. Janowski is recognized as one of the most talented of horn carvers. His little house and a large barn which he uses as a workshop are museums in which the whole scope of this curious art may be studied. Although most of his products are labeled chairs, hall trees, hat racks and so on, he is something of a modernist.

Kidnaping in City Is Laid to Bootleggers’ Dispute

J||f r <• I m/L

Russell Miller 17-Year-old Boy Victim Released With Warning After Abduction. What loomed as a sensational kidnaping with a death threat hanging over the head of a 17-vear-old Indianapolis boy. leveled itself today into what police said was a bootleggers' dispute. Two cars Saturday afternoon pulled up in from of the poolroom owned by Thomas Malad 3547 Massachusetts avenue. Mrs Malad and her son Joseph. 17. was in the place. Deny \bductors Had Guns After asking for Malad. the men were alleged to have pulled revolvers and ordered young Malad into one of the two cars. The machines speeded away, and within a few minutes, police cars were on the trail.

An hour later Joseph Malad alighted from a street car near his home. He said the men had released him. denied any one had pulled a gun on him. and said the only threat he had received was a warning to "watch your step ” Almost at the same time, police arrested three men One was Joseph's father, the other two were the alleged • "kidnapers," Russell Miller. 35. of 1710 Ludlow avenue, and Claude Williams. 24. of 3833 East Thirty-first street. A fourth man is sought. Statements of Trio Vary Police say statements of the trio vary in important details. What it seems to be, acccording to the officers. is that someone stole five or six five-gallon cans of alcohol from Miller's grarage. Miller suspected Dewey Brown, former employe of Malad, said police Miller went hunting for Brown, via Malad, they say. and picked the boy up as a half-way threat. Miller is reported by police to have warned an uncle of young Malad that ‘ Brownie had better get in touch with us within six hours, or you'll find the boy in the river." The case was continued today in municipal court three until Aug. 10. By that time, police say, they may be able to get things straightened out.
