SURF riding IS

An attractive letter-head showing a
picture of surf riders on the wave
brought the Hawaii Promotion Com

and, according to A. P. Taylor, secre'
tary of the Promotion Committee, 1t
reaches the richest class Of tourist
trade in the East.
The evidence of the work of that
Ietter-head is in a prominently placed
article by James Crowell entitled
"SideHghts on Amateur Sport" which
also shows a picture of surf rider
in the last number Of this magazine,
which reached Mr.. Taylor this morn

given US a lot of valuable space in the
past, used this 1etter-head,' said Mr..
Taylor this morning as he showed the
standard letter-head Of the commit

II received word from the editor OF
the magazine that If could send him
a picture of surf riders similar to the
one shown in the letter-head that he
would be glad TO publish it. J g5t
picture from Gurrey, which the nag
azine took to be one of Duke Kahana-

lished it with the accompanying ar
