WILL SEEK TO FIND
ROOMS FOR ALL OF BIG
CROWD OF TOURISTS

One Of the big problems that has
been confronting the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee is the question of ac-
commodation for tourists, according
to the statement made by A. p Tay-
lor. secretary of the committee. Hun
dreds Of requests are being received
for high-class accommodation, and
many of these have been turned away
to other watering places on account
of the inability of the local hotels to
take care Of reservations.
A meeting Of the hotel and boarding
house proprietors will be called some
time next week by the committee to
discuss the problem of accommoda-
tons. Many cables have been re-
ceived from prominent people who
want to come to Hawaii. They want
suites and are willing to pay the price,
but if they cannot be assured of ac-
commodation they will go to the Ba-
hamas, Florida or Cuba.

PLANS NO RACES

Activities of the Richmond Motor
cycle club at this time are being held
up by the weather man. Owing to
the disa greeable weather no club runs
have been held With the opening of
the weather, however, the two-wheel-
ers will get busy.
Although membership of the club
favors the plan it is not likely that
the r. NJ. c. will stage motor bike
races in Richmond this year. The fair
ground track east of the city is not
available this season. Membership of
the club numbers approximately sixty.
Officers of the organization are Roger
Wilson, president; Karl Kemper, vice
president; E. J. Martin, secretary;
Carl Mcbride, treasurer. Peter Til
burg is captain.
