Can We Save the Old Hotels 2
m the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Whatever Boston's new hotels may
do for Boston, it is already evident that
they are having destructive effect on
the business of some of the older hotels
New Englanders must have experienced
a slight shock and pang of regret
when they read that the Adams House
one of the most famous of the old group
has been petitioned into receivership
The company operating the hotel will
try for two months to put the business
on It's feet again and it is hoped that
bankruptcy will be avoided.
With its character and associations
to say nothing of its location, the Adams
House seems to have real place in the
public and political life of the COM
munity Is there. not feasible way oi
renovating old hotels and retaining them
as purveyors of moderate-priced accom-
modations in competition with thorough
ly modern hotels? The problem has ap-
peared in many city and in some
Providence, for instance-it appears to
have been solved.

tants' course which begins there on
october and ends on october 27.
Admonition has been issued from the
Militia Bureau to Guard organizations
that they must not exceed the strength
allowance for their districts, as laid
down by the War Department. The
circular points out that the strength Of
the National Guard in given fiscal
year is fixed by the Secretary of War.
the estimates approved by the Bureau
of the Budget and funds appropriated
by Congress. The bureau says that
this strength cannot be exceeded. and
adds that the bureau apportions this
strength among the various States,
based upon the organizations allotted
to each State and no State can exceed
at any time the strength SO allotted to it.
1t is explained that the suballotment
of the strength authorized for each
State to the units in the State is
function of the State authorities. Max
imum strength for each unit may be
fixed by State authorities or each regi-
mental or similar organization may be
given a maximum strength which will
in turn be further suballotted by the
proper military commander. In any
event the maximum strength authorized
for each unit should be fixed and pub
lished in appropriate orders.
Reports of strength received at the
Militia Bureau, it was said, indicate
that strengths authorized by the State
authorities have been exceeded, and it
is added that when State strength al
lotments are exceeded deficit is i'm
mediately created in funds appropri-
ated for the support of the National
Guard, not alone in armory drill pay
but in every item of the National Guard
appropriation. The bureau says that it
is obvious that such a situation cannot
be permitted to continue, because it is
forbidden to create or permit a deficit.

American cash registers are orna-
ments in Nepal.
They glitter from pedestals lining the
white marble staircase in the palace of
the prime minister, according to an
explorer recently returned from India.
Beside the FURNISHED beauty of cash
registers CLEANS the polished nickel of
American automatic scales. mechanical
chewing gum venders and slot machines.

to NepaleSe ideas creation of Amer
ican foundries is better than bronze
statues for staircase.
Visitors Not Welcomed.
American products have a better
chance of entering Nepal than Amer
leans" says a bulletin from the Ma
tional Geographic Society, because the
isolated mountain kingdom does not
welcome foreigners.
"Only a few British officials are per-
mitted to come over the pass from
India and they are not permitted to go
far from the capital, Khatmandu. The
Country of Four Passes the Nepalese
call their land which is indeed walled

are both made for him and enforced
by the prime minister, who lives in the

"Nepal is the stronghold of ortho-
