AIR WAITERS
COMPLAINT AKIN TO TRAIN SICKNESS (From Our Correspondent.) (By Air Mail.) LONDON, March 14. Train sickness used to be a rather formidable complaint amongst the stewards who ministered to our needs in the buffet cars. These men have often told mo that if was the exception rather than the rule for them to continue at the work for any number of years'. The constant _ swaying of the cars in conjunction with the necessity for 'balancing dishes tended seriously to affect their health. Something of the same kind is likely to be experienced on the air routes, with the difference that air sickness is more common than that sickness some people experience during a train journey. Waiters now being trained for the 8.0.A.C. sej-vice are being recruited chiefly from lads just out of school. First, they are trained in the 8.0.A.C. ground restaurants as apprentices, where they are taught both cooking and serving. For service at the table they are given finishing touches at some of the London clubs, where they are easily distinguished by ths unfamiliar I uniform which they wear.
