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

The magnificent President Liners are broad of beam and excerptionally steady. All are oil burners, swife express liners. ·

The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting

All staterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with best-not berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos beetles and reading lamps. Private bath and showers in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of these giant passenger liners.

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

The decks are spacious. The Glas-enclosed Promenade always popular. Dock sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to make your trip a happy one. Unexcelled anywhere is the count:ous and efficient service accorded you by the trained personnel aboard the President Liners.

The great frequency of sailings and the liberal stopover privileges of the Dollar Stearnship and American Mail Lines have made these giant passenger liners out scandingly popular among travelers.

No one was injured beyond a few scratches.

The house is occupied by Tak Cheung, tin and fronware dealer, the ground floor being used as the shop, the first floor. for living quarters, and the top floor as a meeting place. The shock and weight of the collapsed roof proved too much for the ceiling and three joists gave way, causing part of the ceiling to collapse.

The three people who were in the room at the time were covered with debris but they extricate them- selves and ran downstairs.
