Large Modern Hotel
City's Greatest Need

The need of another large, modern hotel of
the first class in Memphis is too well recognized
to need any extended comment. There have
been $500 rooms provided for our own citizens
in the new residences constructed during 1919,
but not single new hotel room has been pro-
vided for the visitors who come to the city.
The lack of sufficient hotel accommodations
was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce
more than two years ago. The convention d.
vision of the Chamber of Commerce, of which
H. r. Chears is chairman, was compelled last
year to refuse score of offers to hold large
conventions and other meetings in Memphis, be-
cause there were no hotel facilities for taking
care of the visitors.
An average of 100 people week, all through
last year, who desired accommodations at some
of the larger hotels, were forced to seek quar-
ters in rooming or boarding houses.
The Chamber of Commerce, realizing that
such conditions were unavoidable during
the years of the war, but could not be allowed
now to exist took steps to secure the erection of
another hotel.
1t is to provide at least part of the needed
facilities that the public-spirited men mentioned
below, acting in cooperation with the Chamber
of Commerce, have taken steps to build such
a hotel.
The building will, according to the architects
estimates, cost Sl,5O0,000.
These far-sighted business men intend to in
vest their own money in the enterprise. They
have organized building company; have Sc.
cured options on a site, and have secured a con-
tract for the organizations of an operating COM
pany which will take over the hotel on a long
term lease Immediately upon it's completion.

Plan of Financing Will
Insure Profitable Investment

1t is we'll known that few legitimate invest
ments pay so we'll as a well-managed hotel.
There are numerous instances in proof of this
statement.
The business men who have organized the
Tri-State Hotel Building Company after con-
ferring with the members of the convention di-
vision of the Chamber of Commerce, have de-
cided upon this plan of financing the S1,50OOOO
enterprise.
An issue of $75O.000 of stock will be offered
for sale at par. A large part of this stock will
be taken by the organizers of the building COM
pany and their associates. The remainder of
the funds necessary will be provided through an
issue of $750000 of bonds, secured by a mort
gage on the property and running for Is years.
Arrangements have been made for placing these
bonds at a low rate of interest.
contract has been made with Joseph A. and
Martin j. Isele, under which they will organize
an operating company, which will lease the
hotel for a term of 25 years. The operating
company will be under contract to pay for the
maintenance of the property; to pay all taxes,
insurance and other fixed charges; to pay an
nually into a sinking fund for the retirement of
the bonds, 2 per cent of the bond issue, which,
by amortization, will provide for the retirement
of the bonds within rs years.
In addition to these payments, the operating
company is to pay an amount as rent amount
ing to per cent on the entire issue Of stock.
This contract will give the stockholders a
clear income of per cent on their investment,
and will insure that at the end of Is years the
bonds will be paid, thus doubling the value of
the original investment to the stockholders.

IS MENACE
TO BASEBALL TEAMS
No Adequate Punishment Con-
ceived to Combat Evil.
Athletes Who Disregard Contracts Are
Attracted by Immediate Enrichment
Texas League Hit Harder
Than Usual.

How to curb contract jumpers has
taxed the brains Of the wisest heads
in baseball, but beyond the threat to
ostracize restless athletes from the
game for a five-year period, no punish
ment has been conceived successfully
to combat this growing menace, writes
Otis Harris in Shreveport Journal.
Nine athletes out of 10 who vault the
barrier give little thought to the fu-
ture, but are attracted away from the
organized game by promise of imme-
date enrichment and of prospect Of
year-round employment in the indus
tries which they represent on the dla-
mond.
The Texas league this season has
been hit harder than usual by contract
jumpers, three teams having either
been completely broken up or badly
crippled, and while the names of the
jumpers have been placed on the black
list, this has not been effective In
keeping others in the harness.
The jumping athletes will be re-
placed in time, but in these days of
a shortage in the market, the rebuild
ing process must necessarily be slow.
The fact that contract jumpers have
no standing whatever in organized
baseball and that they automatically
bar themselves from the game for five
years when they leave is given little
thought by the players themselves, and
unless some more effective means Is
discovered to handle them, contract
jumpers will be beyond handling at all
in another season.
The war is on between organized
baseball and the independents, and the
latter seem to have the best of 1t as
far as it has gone. They haven't been
able to wreck any leagues, but their
activities are causing many club own
ers sleepless nights.

Cures Wrought by "SIeep-Baths."

Cures Wrought by asleep Baths"
Among the many wonderful cures
which the war has produced is the
"sleep-bath.'
1t is to be had on the thousand-acre
estate at Enham, Hampshire, where
many of the disabled men are being
treated Practically every kind of bath
is available there, but the big "seda-
tive BATH has worked the most mira
cles.
The patients lie in hammocks, while
water flows over them. The ham,
mocks are immersed, and the water is
kept about the temperature of the
body. The gentle flowing motion has
most soothing effect upon the nerves.
Provided the man has not been pro-
nounced incurable, any disabled ex-
soldier may apply for treatment
