Today one of the most famous
of the great resort hotels in Eu-
rope is in serious financial diff
culties for lack of guests. This is
the Hotel Pauhaus on the Sem

Formerly all the Viennese In
comfortable circumstances made

Panhaus or other good hotels in
this district. throughout the year.
Now the VienneSe, no matter how

prefers to rough it rather than
bask in the comfort Of steam
heat, running water, and Persian
rugs in the heart Of the noun
tains.
According to the hotel men Of
Austria, this change has come
about through the passing Of the
royal regime. They do not blame
the lack of money for the de-
crease in uxury-demanding Gus
toners, but rather the new ideals
which have come in with the
democratic government.

Since not great deal can be said for the actual champions of fistiana, some remarks may be set forth in behalf of three "uncrowned kings of the ring-Kid Chocolate Jimmy McLarnin, and Young Cor bett III.
 Chocolate holds a decision over the new ruler of the lightweights Al Singer, and the general feeling is that he can repeat any time that Al is willing to take him on
 The Cuban flash likewise probably would have little difficulty outpoint- ing the featherweight titleholder Bat Battalino. He can make tho feather limit and outclasses Bat talino as boxer, but the Kecd is not likely to get an early op- portunity to demonstrate this.

 Since then the Irishman has whipped Young Jack Thompson the current welterweight champion and would be favorite to do So again, any time they can be brought together. {
 Young Corbett III belongs in a class with McLarnin in this respect Corbett has licked Thompson sew eral times and had the negro down for the count of nine in their last encounter.
 McLarnin, however, appears cer- tain to get the first actual title scrap with Thompson, with New York now bidding against Los An geles, Detroit and Chicago for the attraction.

Fayetteville (N. O. planes the home run, instead of praising 1t, in sizing up the current trials and tribulations of the national game. Says the Fayetteville Observers baseball writer:
 "The short fields, with more grandstand and bleacher space, may be better proposition for the own CTS of the clubs, but from the real baseball fans point of view they would much prefer witnessing some old-time' running catches and spec tacular plays.
 "At present the North Carolina Piedmont league is experiencing scant gate receipts and night games have been introduced.
 "The Raleigh and Henderson clubs are not equipped to play the game at night and they have been threat ened with expulsion from the cir cult, as the other four clubs are catering to the fans who either work in the afternoons, or have lost interest in what is commonly known as the national game.
 But, if the freak home runs continue to play major part in the scoring, baseball is apt to lose that favorite sobriquet.

4-long the western edge of

Dutch East Indies extends a
chain of mountains which rise
quite rapidly from the coast
line. 1t is an interesting coun-
try-the home of the Menang-
kahau people, a black race.
To reach this territory from
the west, one goes to the city
of Pedang and from there
takes the little railroad that
leads into the hills. The train
chugs and strains as it starts
up the grade toward the high
lands and finally the engine is
switched around to the rear OF
the train and begins to push.
Cogs have been placed between
the tracks as a safety precau
ton in case the load ever be
comes too great for the engine.
