Washington, Nov. 13. —Public eating houses, which Include hotels, restaurants, dining cars, clubs and passenger steamships, have given their hearty and voluntary co-operation to the hotel division of the United States ' food administration in all parts of the country and the results are highly encouraging. Ninety per cent of the first-class hotels in the United States have signed the pledge card of the food administration, and the others are coming into line. Although the movement for a meatless Tuesday and a wheatless Wednesday was not started until late in September, it has been generally accepted and is becoming the rule rather than the exception.
