    ^ Hotel Men Plan
Royal Reception
for Legion Here
Executive Committee Hopes
to Set New Pace as Host
to Former Service
Men.
When the 40,000 or 50,000 visitors
attracted to Omaha by the national
eonvention of the American Region
next year depart from the city they
will go praising the hospitality of
Omaha.
Everett Buckingham, general chair
man of the executive committee
arranging for the big convention, and
the committees yvorkitig with him are
determined that this shall he true.
And E. Eppley, chairman of the
hotel and housing committee, who has
spent much time investigating the
needs of the convention, is convinced
that It*will be true.
"I made a trip to St Paul recently
to acquire ail possible data on hov
this Important convention was hnti
died there," said Eppley.
"St. Paul men who helped tnak
the convention a success there told
me many things, including the fat'
that there must be one man b;
enough and versatile enough to hay
general supervision of everything con
nected with the eonvention. In dt
^ scribing the type of man needed for
this big job they described Bucking
|f ham.
Enthusiasm Is High.
"In St. Paul there is a feeling that
Omaha will make a big success of
the great gathering here. With the
excellent spirit and enthusiasm which
prevails among Omniums and the un
usual entertainment features that
will be provided by Ak-Sar-Ben 1 nra
sure we will not only outdo all pre
vious legion meetin cities, but will
set a new pace.”
There is an Inclination on the part
of hotel men to consider their serv
ice in the matter of housing the le
gion men a patriotic duty rather than
an opportunity to fill their hostel
ries to overflowing, according to Har
ley tl. Conant.
Conant believes this spirit will pre
vail throughout the city, and that
unequaled hospitality will he shown
by home owners as well as hotel
operators.
"We are striving to avoid anything
which could possibly mar the success
of the convention," said Conant.
“We want to be in the position of
knowing beforehand, and not after
ward. what to do.”
Hotel Men Co-operating
Eppley"s talk before the North
western hotel association ati the re
cent annual meeting In Rochester,
' Minn., Is quoted in part in The Daily
National Hotel Reporter of Chicago
and reflects the views of Omaha
hotel men who are united as they
never were before for the welfare of
the city. It Is as follows:
There is a very important prob
lem confronting each of the traveling
public towards hotels in general.
We all feel more or less that there
is a certain amount of antagonism
' toward hotels.
This feeling is manifested in nu
merous ways by various classes of
guests when they fail to receive the
type of service for which they are
paying, or to which they believe they
are entitled.
Especially is this feeling manifest
ed during conventions and at times of
capacity business when there is a
tendency on the part of some hotels
to raise prices. Each time they do
this they are not only unfair to them
selves but do an Injustice to the
hotel fraternity in general.
To my personal knowledge In cer
tain capital cities, legislation Inimical
to the hotel business has been intro
duced. ,and in some cases hurriedly
passed because of antagonism brought,
about by the treatment accorded leg
islators and the public by the local
hotels.
The rise and ebb of patronage Is
not peculiar to the hotel business
alone.
Everyone knows that the average
retail store does a greater volume of
business on Saturday than on any
other day. in the week, but their
prices remain the same as on dull
days.
Newspapers earry a much greater
volume of advertising on Fridays and
Sundays than the other days, yet
their rates are exactly the same on
every day of the week.
In other words, we must obtain for
our rooms and our cafe service a
fair price at all times, figured on an
average business, so that It will not
l,e necessary for us to increase
prices when we are enjoying unusu
ally heavy business.
We must look upon this matter
not only from our own individual
viewpoint. We should use Ihe eyes
of our guests from the other side of
the counter and ask ourselves if we
are treating them the way we would
want them to treat us were our
positions reversed.
We should havp as our Ideal a con
stunt effort to treat every guest with
fairness and so maintain our hotels
and furnish a standard of service
that no guest will have any justi
fiable reason for complaint.

Yon Cannot
Afford
To be Gray
THIS is the Day of Youth. No matter how many years have passed over your head, you must present
to' the world the Appearance of Youth. There are no old women these days. Women do not accept
age even at 50. And every modern mind grants this woman’s privilege and lauds her for bravely with
standing the onslaught of time. Not only is ii woman’s right—it is her duty to be charmingly youthful.
PRKSFiN’T dav styles of hair dressing
make no allowances for Gray llais.
s The “shingle,” the “bob," the masculine
pompadour, the chic coiffure of closely
arranged hair, call for the greatest care.
t Such arrangement
accents gray, fad
e(lt streaked or un
fh v~- "») evenly colored
4 hair. The tiniest
j.{ thread of silver
\ forces itself to at
\ ~ y tention. A faded
T y strand or streak
{ clamors, for prom
inence. Surely you
' cannot afford to be
gray if you bob or shingle. It is so easy
to keep short hair presentably tinted. A
small portion of Brownatone brushed
through the shorn locks and presto!
Gray hair is gone! In its place is glossy,
natural, youthful hair, the crowning
glory restored to its rightful beautv.
Especially trying to the new masculine
pompadour is the slightest touch of
gray. When the hair is combed tightly
and smoothly from the face gray strands
I nro especially noticeable. A touch of
Brownatone and the pompadour is ner
j fert. Why hazard
your charm when
assured beauty is so
easily had?
Social leaders, nnd
the most famous
women f>f the stage,
long since recognized
the imperative need
for hair tinting. Gruy
hair is unknown to
the theaters' brilliant
lights. To suffer it would be to meet
half way the closing of a professional
career.
As modes change nnd more extreme
styles of head dress come in, the necessity
' for tinting hair becomes more and more
apparent. For example, the style of
shingling, parting in the middle hark and
combing forward, nffords no opportunity
of concealing unsightly hair.
TTHE manufacturers of Brownatone
* now feel a duty to women to tell in
plain words just how hair may be safely
tinted to natural shades. The color can
not be •‘restored’’ to hair, naturally, be
cause of its physical
construction. A hair
is a hollow, shaft
like structure, sur
rounded by a cortex,
or wall, of laminated
cells. The natural
Coloring, called “pig
ment,” is contained
in the hollow, or
core. Gray hair is
caused by the ab
sence of pigment. . .
When the coloring disappears, the nair
blanches or turns gCa.v. Pigment can
not be replaced—it never return'.
Brownatone permeates the hair en
tirely, from center to surface. Some
dyes cause a brittle condition with a re
sultant splitting or breaking off. Other
dyes coat the outer surface only, «s an
article is varnished or painted, while
still others stain the hair by imparting
to the outer cells a false coloring.
Prownatope penetrates the hair gently
and thoroughly, leaving the hair texture
in a natural, healthy
condition.
Brown atone im
parts natural shades
as desired — golden,
blor.de, or varying
shades of brown or
black. (You cannot,
w ith any prepara
tion, tint dark hair
to a lighter shade
without first bleach
ing the hair.! Brown
atone acts quickly
—no waiting for results: it is easy to use,
and is only necessary to apply as row
hHir grows in. The color imparted is not
affected by shampoo or bath. It will not
rub off. Positively the most pleasing and
satisfactory hair tint ever offered.

Gray Hair Ages Most Women
CERY few women have the faeial en
dowment to compete with graying
hair. It requires an unusually young
and piquant face, a akin like old rose
and dnmask, and the coloring of an in
fant to contrast and beautify gray hair.
Grandmother’s face, lined and seamed
with age. skin like pallid ivory, is most
becomingly framed with snowy hair.
But for tho young, or even middle aged
woman, gray hnir is a handicap.
There is hut one method by which color
of the hair may be restored and that is
tinting or staining. This method is rec
ommended by the best authorities. Dr.
Montgomery, a distinguished authority on
hair, sa>s that staining is the only prac
tical treatment for premature gray hair.
"Duhring's Diseases of the Skin,’’ says
that staining may be resorted to. Thomas
Oattell, M. IT, Si. R., C. i\ E„ not only
permits staining, hut advises it in a thor
oughly professional way.
