January 7, 1918 The train reached N.Y. at 6pm - 2 hours late. I called up Mrs. Akeley and found that her hubby was in his camera shop working. I went down at 9pm and found him with a new camera which he has standardized, and is now building for the U.S. Govt for aviation service. He is putting in all his time on the camera. After dinner with him I betook myself to a hotel. I tried the Endicott and Manhattan without success and then got a room in the Belmont. The automobile show and the coal famine seems to have caused this fullness. January 8, 1918 Visited the Museum and opened my mail. Took tea with Mrs. Akeley at the Waldorf, then dined with her and Clark at a French restaurant. Afterward we went home and got Akeley and attended the Zoological Society meeting at the Waldorf where Andrews showed his color photos on slides of China. January 9, 1918 Spent the evening with Manke at the Endicott. He is with the Prizme Color Moving Picture Co.
