American Officials and
Wives Aboard Roma on
Final Flight Over Italy

Of an hours cruising she left the land
behind her and cruised out over the Medi-
terrenean. Over the ocean the slight
rolling Of the ship ceased and the pas
sengers took to playing cards in OrGer to
relieve the monotony Of the flight.
CONTEMPLATED TRIP
OVER MT. YESUVIUS.
After an hour of travel over the water,
the ships commander turned inland
again and steered over ancient Capua and
the hot plains of Caserta The original
plan of the Italian naYigators had been
to sail her over the top of Mt. Vesuyius.
The gas bags of the Roma had been in
fiated for fifteen months, however, and
the covering of the bags had become
leaky. Consequently the ship would not
develop a sufficient amount of lift to en-
able it to rise over the top o. the noun
tain.
The heat which rose from the vine
yards of Caserta made the air very
bumpy, and as the Roma worked
around to the west of Mt. We
suvius towards Naples, she began TO
walIow violently so violently that
the passengers were forced to cling
to stanchlons, while all movable OBJ
jects In the car piled up at the forward
end as the ship lunged downward, and
slid back to the rear and as she climbed
inward again.

 Travellers Aid Work
 There~are probably few people in the city of New Britain who know of the work which is being carried on by the local Y. W. C. A. as the work of the Travellers Aid society. Most any day in the week the local asso- ciation is called upon, by means of telegrams or phone calls from New York and other large cities, to help immigrant girls and others who Are travelling alone and to see to 1t that the girls reach their destination safe Y.
 Inasmuch as there Is no other place for girls to stay in New Britain. 1t often becomes necessary for the Y. w. C. A. to put at the disposal of oth- CT societies, a room where girls may be housed over an emergency period. A sample of this work was shown last week when a colored girl, believ- ed to be the first case of its kind, was taken care of over night and escorted to the train in the morning.
 Help Foreign People
 The local association has greatly aided the national board to continue it's work in. foreign countries and many times the Travellers Aid so- ciety here has looked into many cases where New Britain families have to be consulted in regards to relatives coming to this country. The association secures affidavits many times copies of naturalization papers and takes care of many other minor details.
 A recent example of this is the fact that the local Y. W. C. A. officials re- ceived from the New York officials a etter asking that certain New Britain people be looked up and asked to se- ,ure aid for a destitute woman in France.
