VISAS 
A visa is an endorsement made on your passport at the pass- 
port offices or consulates of the countries you intend to visit. 
It denotes that it has been examined and the bearer is per- 
mitted to enter those countries. It is best to obtain th® 
necessary visas by personal application at the passport offices 
or consulates before sailing time. These can be located in 
the telephone directory of the city from which you sail. If 
time does not permit, your travel agency or steamship line 
may secure visas for you. Send them your passport by 
REGISTERED mail with a list of the countries you will visit. 
Some countries make a small charge for a visa, and others 
make no charge for this service. 
Because of constantly changing visa requirements, it is best 
to consult a reliable travel agency for the latest ruling of the 
countries in which you will travel. 
TRAVELLING SUGGESTIONS — IN GENERAL 
The fewer the pieces of baggage and possessions a traveler 
takes abroad, the greater his freedom from worry and expense. 
All travelers will not require all the items listed below, and 
should use care in selection according to probable needs 
and their itinerary, 
A FEW SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS — Leave extra space in 
your baggage for your purchases abroad, also for soiled linen 
as laundering may be delayed. Be sure you have a cake of 
your favorite toilet soap at all times; and if you wear glasses, 
by all means take an extra pair and your prescription. Plain 
and comfortable clothing that may be easily laundered or 
cleaned is th© most practical. 
TRAVELLING SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN 
Sports clothes in knitted materials, nylon, jersey, or tweeds 
are popular because they can b© easily packed away without 
fear of crushing. Nylon and jersey are especially practical 
as they are so easily washed and dried, and take up little 
space in your luggage. One or two simp!© frocks of light 
materia! for afternoon wear are also desirable. Evening clothes 
are still worn in some of the luxury hotels and on luxury liners. 
If you are planning this type of trip, two evening gowns and 
accessories are also necessary. Shoes with low heels, oxfords, 
or play shoes for morning wear and pumps or sandals for 
afternoon wear will meet the requirements in footwear. Several 
of the ever popular berets or turbans, one sports coat of 
camels hair or tweed, and one heavy dress coat complete 
the traveler's wardrobe. You should bear in mind that the 
hotels and houses in foreign countries are not heated as well 
as the average American home, and most everywhere warm 
clothing is required. A light-weight raincoat is advisable, prefer- 
ably one of the plastic types which can be packed without 
occupying much space. Pullman slippers, bathing suit, negligee, 
sandal rubbers, folding umbrella, hot water bottle, small 
supply of medicine, drinking cups, toilet articles reduced to 
a minimum, sewing kit, and dark glasses add to your comfort. 
Valuable jewelry should be left at home. 
TRAVELLING SUGGESTIONS FOR MEN 
Two business suits or one business suit and a conservative 
sport jacket of tweed or flannel with on© or two pairs of 
slacks, ten ordinary shirts, handkerchiefs, underwear, pajamas, 
neckties, socks, shoes, slippers, and bathrobe are necessary. 
As previously noted, evening clothes are still worn in some 
of the luxury hotels and on luxury liners. If you are planning 
this type of trip, evening clothes should be included. Razor, 
medicine, clothes and hair brushes, bathing suit, drinking cup. 
wash cloth, tooth paste, antiseptic, and dark glasses are a 
few other reminders for your comfort. 
HOW TO CARRY MONEY 
Th© most convenient way to carry money is in th© form 
of travellers' checks or letters of credit. A small amount of 
currency is needed for your immediate travelling expenses. 
Travellers' checks can be obtained through your bank or 
travel agency for a fee of about 75c per $100, in denom- 
inations of $!0 to $200. These for the most part should b© 
in small denominations so that when cashing checks in one 
country, you will not have more currency than needed In that 
country. If forced to exchange local currency In passing from
