THAT BIG NEW HOTEL

At last, Boston has hopes of be- coming the convention city Of America" and all because work has been started on the construc- ton of one big new hotel.

There are no "ifs" and "whens" left, as the contract has been signed and work has been started. Mayor Curley himself operating the first steam shovel.
 Boston at present has 8 few fine hotels, but nothing like a city Of it's prominence ought to have. From the standpoint Of hotel accommo- dations. she has been in comrara- lively a worse situation than New Britain was before the Burritt was constructed.

RETURNING TRAVELLERS
 ON LABOR DAY

The great exodus from the coun- try 10 the city begins Monday. Most of those who have been spending the summer in the coun- try, in the mountains or at the sea shore make 1t a point to return on Labor day and the railroads and the highways will be severely taxed with the army of returning urban dwelIers. To the railroads it is the peak travel period of the year and much difficulty is experienced in providing sufficient rolling stock to take care of the travellers. The New Haven railroad alone will operate 122 holiday trains Monday. and the other railroads will be no less in tent upon meeting the demand for increased transportation.
 Citizens who can afford tG re- main out of town throughout the summer are regarded as fortunate; usually they are fairly well blessed with this worlds goods. A majority of them are women and children, the families of men who stay in town most of the summer earning the wherewithal 10 pay for the ex- prnses of their better halves and their families in the country. Very frequently the men have just as good a time right in town. enjoying attenuatcd vacations and little weekend trips.

If there Is part of the public which prefers bus travel, at least occasion ally it should not be denied It's right to travel In this manner merely because some railroad doesn't get the money for the tickets,
