London.-Yet another party Of treas.

This time the search is for no paltry
hoard hidden by an old time pirate,
nor for a mere million or two of glden
doubloons sunk in some Spanish GAL
leon. This latest expedition is to go

perhaps, and salvage the countless
millions worth Of gold and gems and

At the head of the expedition 10
Bernard Meekham, an English explor-
er. His plans include the employment
Of huge floating dry dock, at least
q dozen submarines for work on the
sea bottom and a hundred or mora ex-
pert divers.
For nearly hundred years, says
Meekham, Yucatan fishermen have
been bringing up from the waters
along the coast beautifully carved
stones, vases and small objects Of
gold and silver. These fishermen are
Maya Indians, who believes themselves
to be the descendants of once
mighty race. They hold these treas
ures of the deep as sacred and when
asked where they get them reply that
they have been given them by their
forefathers.
The reports of these finds led Meek
ham to explore the ruined cities of
ancient civilization scattered all along
the coast of Yucatan He thus became
convinced of the existence of once
populous and rich country, swallowed

First of all, engineers and investi-
gators were sent to Yucatan. Their
reports showed that the country mark
ed for exploitation had apparently
sunk over an immense irregular land
surface stretching along the twentieth
parallel and breaking away from what
Is now the northern coast of South
America and the eastern coast of Cen

These discoveries, together with the

money on subscriptions from October
9Th to the 18th. These mesh bags are
beautiful and one that any young lady
will be proud to carry. They are
lined with an extra grade of white
kid and finished beautifully. We pur-
chased these mesh bags of the Bale
Brodersen store and all know that
anything purchased of this reliable
firm is always as they represent it and
well worth the money paid.
You should take advantage of this
offer and obtain one of these mesh
bags. A contestant who will hustle
