George A. Farnham, president Of

substantial revenue. Philadelphia for
nearly year has permitted no vend-

back in the mountains, where bars
have been few and far between in re-

have little effect on the conduct OF
hotels.
Along the coast, from Atlantic city

caravansary, adding his expectation,
which seemed to be typical OF other
bonifaces in resort cities, of heavy
patronage and good returns from teas

dispensed in the terpsichorean halls.
Among hotel men and observers Of
tie business generally there is agree
ment that consumption of intoxicants
has been restricted by the high prices
resulting from curtailed manufacture
and increased taxation growing out
of the war. If the necessity arises,

The advertising man, summarizing

From automobile rows" of hun

"The war is over" is the popular cry,
and enforced stay-at-homes Of recent

HOTELS FEAR
DRY REGIME
SPELLS ruin

NEW YORK, May 7 (by Associated
Press) Hotel men of the North At
lantic states, excepting groups with
headquarters in the metropolis who
profess to see nothing but ruin ahead
if prohibition is enforced, expect to
be doing business at the old stand in
the days impending when the mahog-
any bar and the connections more or
less mysteriously mixed by the white
aproned dignitary behind it become
matters of history.
Despite predictions of the city and
state bonifaces' associations of New
York that large numbers OF hostelries
will be forced out of business by the
advent of the dry regime, the ma
iority of persons we'll informed re-
garding hotel affairs hold to the opin-
ion that no such situation will develop.
All along the coast and westward t.
the Appalachians, they declare, pro-
prietors of city, town and country
hotels, both of the commercial and
tourist types, are mapping out means
of obtaining from other sources reve-
nues equivalent to those derived from
the sale of intoxicants. Popularized
dining rooms, tea and dance parlors,
soft drink grills and even the plebian
soda fountain are innovations planned
and, in some cases, already in opera

flying to their owners.
