in the interests of Charles L. Hughes.
Mrs Roosevelt will accompany the col

Roosevelt chose Samoa and the Fiji
islands because they are both highly
spoken of by physicians as above the
average in climate and. too, because
Roosevelt believes they will afford him
good playground for the rather ard.
uous vacation he generally takes.
Although Wesleyan missionaries have
driven sin and cannibalistic traits from
the erstwhile savage Fjis and the en-
ergy they once spent in thinking NJ

tins has been turned to more civilized
channels, there remain many distract
tions on the islands. Mr.. Lippincott 4
gabetter mentions innumerable worn
out volcanoes to crawl about in and
many health-springs with such modern
conveniences as hot and cold water de
vices.
There are several five-thousand foot
hills in Samoa and lot of wild ter
ritory in which any number of hereto
fore undiscovered wild things are said
to abound, unnamed.

cluding two flashlights and pocket
knives taken from Farmers hardware
