Missing His Train,
Banker Flies to
Visit President

Missing a train from New York
to Washington yesterday did not
keep James H. Causey, Denver
banker, from an engagement with
President Coolidge yesterday af-
ternoon.
When Mr.. Causey arrived at the
Pennsylvania station in New York
yesterday morning and discovered
that his train had just pulled out
he hurriedly made negotiations
with an airplane company to
transport him to the Capital. Mr..
Causey'S engagement with the
PRESIDENT was at noon and he
would have been at the White
House on time had it not been
that on the way the airplane was
forced to make q landing because
of engine trouble, thereby losing
a half hour.
Mr.. Causey explained his diff
Guilty to the President when he
arrived behind schedule time and
the latter very graciously over
looked the incident. Mr.. Causey's
conference with the President had
to do with observations he had
just made in Europe during q four
month tour of the continent.

DIR. Hugh S.. Cumming, surgeon
general of the United States public
health service, has been elected one
of the vice presidents of the perma-
nent health organization of the league
of nations, which is holding its first
meeting since the amalgamation of
the international public health Office
in Paris with the provisional health
committee of the league.
The meeting has an extensive
agenda. including reports on the
sanitary arrangements at the world
seaports and the progress of the fight
against cancer, malaria and the
opium evil. The report of mission
sent to the far east suggests the es-
tablfshment of a central bureau of
archaeological intelligence, prefer

that the far eastern countries con-
clude a sanitary convention.
Plans have been drawn up to bring
about greater coordination of the
health administrations of all countries
