C.NATIONAL GUARD Efforts are belng made by officers of the Natlonal Guard of the District of Columbia to arrange for motor bus transportation in dispatching the troops of the local outfits to their several encampments the latter part of August. There is a desire to send the troops Into their training fields in as much comfort and with as much dispatch as possible, and so the mod- ern bus idea was seized upon. Bids already have been asked for the trans. portation of troops by this method to Fort Humphreys, Va., and to Cas- cade, Md. Heretofore the regiment of Tn- gineers in proceeding to Fort Hum- phreys have marched to the Union Station to board a train, and then wero sent to Accotink, Va., where they were loaded into more or 8 unsight. ly and uncomfortable motor trucks for the 5-mile ride into camp. But there is | a desire to get them into camp in bet. ter shape to handle the duties of pitch- ing camp, and it is believed that this can best be done by providing parlor busses, with soft-cushioned seats, di- rect from the armory to the site of each tent. If this plan i arranged the troops will only have a very few steps to walk with their heavy marching packs, which they take into the field, and if the cost is not too great the will travel in first-class shape. The trip to Fort Humphreys is only a short one, but a longer trip is to be provided for the 29th Division special troops. It is belleved that the trip to Cascade, Md., for the division troops can be made in the minimum of time on the busses, and the outfits will be able to | more promptly take up the camp rou- tine in which they will engage for a perfod of two weeks. The 260th Coast Artillery, however, will be dispatched by boat to Fort Monroe, Va., and they are not being considered for bus transportation. l The followin honorably discha acconnt of rem Pyt.

After 70 years of fame as the restaurant for epicures and as caterer to every Gierman court. the establishment, with its fancy grocery, has fallen a victim to genera) impoverishment Since a new clientele among the newly rich was not forthcoming, be- cause of the increasing demand since the war for terpsichorean and musi- cal pleasures, this mecea for 30 many noted gourmets has at last been forced to close its doors. Kangaroo talls, Indian swallows' nests, sharks’ fins, live trout from the Russian Newa, the regular stock-in-trade of Borchardt's, will be things of the past. The former Crown Prince and a number of former ruling princes, as well as many distinguished foreign visitors, were always to be found at Borchardt's. One of the best cus- tomers before the war was Czar Nicholas II of Russia. Another customer w the Turkish sultan. King Edward VII of England never failed to eat at Borchardt's when so- journing in Berlin. DEALERS PRAY FOR SUN.

Notice these Nash cars step away in front at a traffic start. And here are the easéest steering cars on earth. This is Nash “Come Drive” Week all over America. We want more people to know the exhilaration of driving one of these great new Nash cars. Cars are waiting. Get in and drive. No obligation. You will not be bothered by selling talk. Nash cars speak for themselves! The greatest motor car contrast in America today is when you step out of your car and into a new Nash. The phenomenal performance of the Three New Series of Nash cars is responsible for the word that is going around —“Be sure to drive a new Nash before you buy your new car.” It’s good advice. It is being followed. The great Nash factories have achieved an unprecedented production of 700 to 800 cars a day, and still the demand grows. The reasons are: here are the finest, fastest cars Nash ever has built, at new lower prices. 3 NEW SERIES—AT NEW LOWER PRICES WALLACE MOTOR COMPANY, Distributor Retail Salesroom, 1709 L Street N.W..
