CALLS ON PRESIDENT.
After leaving the Surgeon General:
Department | called at the White Hous'
TO pay my respects TO the President O
the United States. Gov: Carter had kindly
given me a note OF Introduction which
proved very effective, as | was kept wait
ing only a short time before being ush
cred into the Presidents private waiting
j, room. There awaiting audience with
President Roosevelt were politicians, Tor
! eign diplomats and others with variou;
axes TO grind.s After stating to the
| President that I had no mission other
| than to pay my respects to the executive
of our nation he started a running fire
| of questions relating to the political
| educational and racial conditions OF this
Territory. He is a man of great person
atty. very unassun1ing and easy OF ap-
proach-undoubtedl a great leader as
was evidenced by his manipulation OF
the National Republican Convention at
Chicago. He has a great interest in the
welfare of Hawaii and / doubt not.
with his personal regard for Gov. Car
ter, that much will be done in the flu
ture for the lettering of conditions as
they exist in Hawaii today.

MEETS AN OLD FRIEND.
On board our train leaving for,DAt-
lantic City on the afternoon of June 6
were majority of those who had at
tended the conference with the Public
Health and u. S. NJ H. Service, Surg.
Gen Wyman and two or three of his
Assistant Surgeon Generals, the Surgeon
General of the Army and other prom
inent officials. Very fortunately [ met
an old friend, Surgeon c. S. Stokes,
y. S. N, who was representing the Sur
geon General of the Navy who could
not be present at Atlantic City Many
notables were picked up at Baltimore
and Philadelphia. Arriving at our des-
tination convenient quarters had to be
secured. The Young Hotel had been
recommended, and owing to the familiar
sound of the name and hoping for some
what near the same perfection as our
Young Hotel, | therefore registered at
that seaside hosiery and in a room on
the sixth story facing the sea found the
delightful cool breezes most grateful
after the scorching heat in Washing
ton.
ATLANTIC CITY.
Just word here about Atlantic City,
considered the greatest, most popular
and most widely known seaside resort
in the United States, with a permanent
population of $4,000 and midsummer
population verg1ng on 100000 No
northern winter resort is more urgently
recommended by physicians than At
lantic City. 1t is health resort as we'll
as great seaside city. where throughout
the year people from every state crowd
its hotels and lounge on its famous
Broadwalk. Men and women, brain
weary and breaking down under weight
OF business, professional, social or do
mestic cares, find no better restoration
than a season at Atlantic City. They
say few cities in the world have so
many well appointed hotels in proper
ton to its population There are 700
hotels and boarding houses
he RrOadwa1k Is tho greatest rrcr,,
enade of its kind in the world: soTidly
built OF steel, 40 IT. wide and about four
miles long. The prominent hotels are
situated close to and are entered from
1t. Innumerable stores, bazaars. restau-
rants, curio shops, picture galleries and
every sort OF place of amusement that
ingenuity can devise, make a kaleido-
ScOp1c picture we'll worth seeing Sew
eral piers extend out into the sea from
this Broadwalk on which are pavilions
and theatres and at which a number of
the sections of the Association had their
headquarters, meetings and clinics. One
