thing. ] dashed over to investigate,
and found the Travel Advertising
consisted of an exhibition of travel
posters, made by all Of the steamship
companies of the Atlantic. II took me
just one second TO demand an inter
view with the director of the "Munici.
pal Art Gallery" OF New York, and
in another Is minutes was with the
directors offering them displays of
every kind from the countries of the
Pacific, and we at once made out e
Pacific program for next year that
will place Pacific lands prominently
before New Workers for several
months during the year Of 1915.
The Municipal Art Gallery in New
York occupies the entire ground floor,
the basement and a gallery Of the i'm.
mense Washington Irving high school,
and in connection with the art gallery
there is an auditorium for travel mo-
ton pictures that seats 1000 people
and you will see now the splendi1
possibilities of a Pan-Pacific exhibit
that will last for three months, with
stereopticon and motion pictures
nightly on each of the Pacific lands.
Fortunately, | am officially author

the Philippines, and most of the other
Pacific countries in these matters, aud

as this will give the AID club some
thing to get busy on for 1915.
Frank Clark has attempted to retire
from the tourist game, but intimated
to me frankly at lunch yesterday that
It isn't in him. He has made his pile

Frank Clark will organize and con-

to Hawaii and around. could tell.
him definitely what New South Wales
and Australia would do in the way OF
advertising such cruise, and II the
other countries of the Pacific will do
one-tenth as well as will Australia,
Frank Clark will conduct the cruise.
Mr.. Clark has very generously Offered
to give his services to the Hands

there he will organize II and without
compensation superintend its work.
This morning was rushed up to
meet Mr. Robert Lee Dunn, the man
aging director of the "Pan-American
States Association" and there in the
commodious club rooms CT this organ
ization he showed me the plans OF
the magnificent Pan-American Com
mercial building, $50 feet In height

that New Yorw should have a Pan.
