The 1930 meeting of the Radiological Society of North America is to be in Los Angeles, California, December 1 to 5, inclusive. It is the desire of the officers to make this a memorable event, and by far the largest and best meeting of radiologists ever held on the Pacific Coast. On account of the convention rate on the railroads permitting only three or four days' time before the meeting, and the same short stay after the meeting, followed by a return over the same route only; and because of a low Winter Tourist round trip rate, allowing six months' stay and optional routes returning, it is deemed unwise to apply for the customary convention rate. Because of the length of the trip, it will be much more pleasant to travel at least one way in a large party. For that reason, the undersigned is again about to plan for a special train, with special accommodations and features, from Chicago to Los Angeles, with an all-expense feature and two very interesting days of sightseeing, and optional dates and routes for the return trip. The all-expense plan, from Chicago (and intermediate points) to Los Angeles, includes all meals on train (regular $1.00 breakfasts, $1.25 luncheons, and $1.50 dinners in dining cars); motor trip from train back to train, with luncheon in Central Cafe in Juarez, Mexico; breakfast next day in Dominion Hotel in Globe, Ariz.; motor trip over the Apache Trail and visit to Roosevelt Dam, bath and dinner in hotel at Phoenix and bus to train. This will cost only $26.25 in addition to railroad fare. The itinerary will be as follows: Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1930 Leave Chicago (Union Station via C., M., St. P. & P. R. R.) 6:30 p. m. Central standard time. Dinner in dining car. Thursday, Nov. 27, 1930 Breakfast in dining car. Arrive Kansas City (Union Station via C, M., St. P. & P. R. R.) 8:00 a. m. Central standard time. Here we will be joined by members from intermediate points. Leave Kansas City (Union Station via Rock Island R. R.) 8:45 a. m. Central standard time. En route across the rich agricultural prairies of Kansas and northwestern Oklahoma. Luncheon and dinner in dining car. Friday, Nov. 28, 1930 Early morning brings us into southeastern New Mexico, through many miles of purplish sage and varicolored cacti, where every mile unfolds an untold story of man's endeavor—and sometimes defeat—through a desert of rich alluvial soil and richer verdure—wherever there is a suspicion of moisture. Continuing in a bee-line toward “the land of sunshine and warmth,” our train will pause at Fort Bliss, and then onward toward El Paso, in the far western corner of the Lone Star State.
