system of the bouse, saying that there
were l,.ri<K rooms In the hotel with In-
dividual keys, each of which will opeu
only the lock It was made for. The
"muster key." however, will o| eii or
lock all of the doors lu the hotel, and
the "emergency key." Iiesldea doing
this, will bsk a door so that no other
key will open It. The "master key"
and the key made especially for any
oue of the disirs ure unclean itter the
"emergency key" luia locked the door
With It a man may lie locked In or out
of Ids room, and ir so be will remain
locked In or out until the "emergency
key" Is used again It nets a lock as
that no other key enn turn It.-New
