THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd, 1927.

Courtesy is in Your Ticket The Thinking Traveler always uses President Liners, because he knows that he will constantly receive that genial, courteous, personal service and attention that ensures him of pleasant, cafefree and enjoyable voyages.

The magnificent President Liners are broad of bear and exceptionally steady. Are oli bumers, swife express finers.

The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting.

All staterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds-boc berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos bercles and reading lamps Privat baths and showers in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of these giant passenger liners.

The Cuisine is world famous. The deliciously prepared menus will delight you. And how the orchestra adds zest to your dining.

The decks are spacious. The Glass-pclosed Promenade always popular. Deck sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to thake your tip a happy pox. Unexcelled anywhere—is the courteous and effèlent service secorded you by the united personnel aisoard the Presidens Liners

The great frequency of mailings and the liberal ropover privileges of the Dollar Steamship and Ameriese Mail Lines have made these glant passenger liners out- standingly popular among travelers.

AN ASTOUNDING COMMUNITY.

our

Wo landlubbing civilians know leas about the Navy than maiden aunts might be expected to know about alimany. We still be lieve that the typical sailor-or Jack Tar-is a man with a brown beard, who comes ashore smelling of rum and holding a green parrot in a cage. Once on dry land he is supposed to lurch with a nautical roll into the nearest patch of trou- ble, and he is described in forth-

coming police-court proceedings as "a sea-faring man of rough ap

pearance."

แ

This impression is exactly one hundred years out of date. The modern Navy is. A electric nachine. Our latest ships are fit- ted with electric bakeries and elec tric laundries and electric lifta. The result previously arrived at by fifty large-boned able senmen pull ing together on the same rope is to-day achieved by one man press ing a button. The typical modern seaman is a cross between. mechanic and a senior wrangler. In plain clothes he looks like

something in the City."
