 ish Armada.

London, Sept. Rl--Operations tor tho recovery of all treasure lost at sea since the time of the Spanish Armada are planned by salvage ex- nerts.

THOUSANDS THRILLED BY
 SHIP GLIDING OVER CITY
shenandoah's Only Visit to New Britain Occurred on No-
 yember 20, 1928.

New Britains only glimpse of the dirigible Shenandoah was on No vember 20, 1923, when the queen Of the air passed over this city while swinging around New England,
 The Shenandoahs visit had been announced a few days earlier and the city was agog over its advent Long before noon all eyes were fo- cused on the sky to the north to see it glide back to New Jersey. Thou sands of telephone calls were re- ccived at newspaper offices and more interest was shown in the event than any other happening since armistice day.
 The alrship was expected to pass over the city earlier in the day, but it did not arrive until about b o'clock in the afternoon, just as the dusk of evening was approaching, Business and other pursuits were suspended for the moment while the entire population of the city ran out into the open 10 enjoy the picture of the graceful Daughter of the Stars" floating along. The commander of the dirigible reduced speed so that all had an opportunity to observe the air giant and to marvel at its beauty as 1t slid past the moon which shone brightly in the east

 Prominence
Prominence

Rome, Sept. R'-Politics In Italy is being taken very seriously, even In it's application to personali- ties. As an instance of this, the railway station on the line between Foggia and Manfredonia, which hitherto had borne the name ot Amendola, that of the leading op- position member in the chamber Of deputies has been changed by the fascists controlled railway to San Giovanni Rotondo.
 Personal and political friends of sisnor Amendola are attempting 10 make political capital of the change of name by insisting that the ad- ministration instead of disparagi the prominence of the opposition leader, unwittingly has added to hts fame. in that Amendola's Christian name is Giovanni and, moreover, he tends to corpulence as the name "Rotuudo" (rotund) implies. Be- sides. they smilingly say, the railway administration unthingingly at- tributed canonica qualities to Deputy Amendola by making the new name of the station San Gio-
 vanni Rotundo, or St. John the l Round.

 Capt. Foster said that much activity prevailed in his district, a number of fine properties having been developed the past year. The vein on the com pany's property while small, and wid- ening with depth, runs about S135 to the ton, and is very rich. Captain Foster declares the region is handi- capped by lack of roads and trails and believes that by building a mile and half of good trails much trou- ble could be saved operators in the district, as several loads of supplies have been lost by polling boats being
