Pan-American visitors who possess a
a fair knowledge of the English Ian

The Filipinos proved quite an at
traction TO frequenters on the water
front during their brief tarry yester-
day. The women as a whole are far
from being prepossessing. The men

seen PLAYING seven up" and the
great American game of draw" while
the vessel remained at the dock.
