King" and this season of the year

also furnish good supply to the
other canning establishments
that are located but few miles
away.

POPE APPROVES NUNS
 AT POLISH CONVENT
Order Established by Fr. B0jnowski Recognized
 by Rome

Pope Plus XI, has put the official Vatican sign of approval on the Or der of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception whose motheS house is al the Sacred Heart Convent in this city, according to word received by Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski. pastor oi Sacred Heart church and founder oi the order, from Bishop Ignacy Do- bowski, papal delegate to this coun- try.
 The recognition of the order and
 the vatican approval tends. more than anything else, to elate the To- cal priest because it marks the cul- imitation of his efforts of the past cs years. since the founding of the or der in this city for official recogni-
 tion by the papacy.
 It is thought that the approval was made as result of Bishop Du-
 bowski's visit of inspection to this
 city last year. He arrived for tour of the country in New York and
 visited the Immigrant Girls Home maintained there by the Sacred
 Heart parish. Later he came to this city where he expressed his admir- l.
 ton for the work accomplished by Father Bojnowski.
 The committee of parishioners ar-
 ranging for the observance of the 18th anniversary of the founding of the order of nuns here. met last
 night in the parish hall. It was re-
 ported that . delegation of nuns ol the order had called on Rev. Stephen
 bartkowski, pastor of Holy Cross
 church and had received his assur- ance that he and his parishionere
 will cooperate in the observance. A delegation of members of the
 Holy Trinity Russian Orthodoz
 church vas also present and made acquainted with the plans. They will report back to their parish and their cooperation is expected. The oh. servance will be city-wide in iti scope,

Marcus White, Normal School Head, To Retire at End of Present Term;
 New Dormitory to Bear His Name
Headmaster for B Years k1vt Dept. rart of Life to Development har"o'N ..stimonial Presented to Him This Afternoon Expressive
 of Their Love and Admiration.

Marcus White. principal of the New Britain State Normal school for 35 years, will retire at the close of the present school year. This an- nouncement was made this afternoon at meeting of the New Britain Teachers club in the normal school building soon after Dr. Albert B. Meredith, state commissioner of education. had said that the new dormitory, which will be ready for occupancy in September, will be named Marcus White hall.
 MT. White will close his teaching career of 42 years just as the new plant for the normal school is conn., pleted. Much of his thought and ex- perience is represented in the plan of these buildings which some edu- cators have called the finest normal school in America. More than 1000 teachers have been graduated dur ing the period of MT. Whites prin- cipalship. and he now holds the longest tenure record for New Eng land and few normal school princi- pals in the country can show equal length of service.

Would-Be St0waway
 Almost Holds Up Zep

Friedrichshafen. Germany. May 16 R - Passengers and members of the crew aboard the Graf Zeppelin, speeding it's way to America today, little realized that their start was nearly prevented by the folly of . would-be stowaway.
 A 22 year old tailor named Ienker. from Kulmbach., con- ceived the fool-hardy idea Of hanging on the hangar roof and trying to jump thence onto the Zeppelin as the airship WAS taken out of the hangar.
 Zeppelin officials said that had he not been spotted by wcrkmen he probably would have lost his own life and so damaged the dirisible it might heve taken weeks to repair tt.

Paris. May 1s N - The great transatlantic airliner Graf Zeppelin. which left Friedrichshafen. Ger many. on her second voyage to the United States early this morning, wa. speeding /aero'' Spain late to- day.
 The huge ship, carrying is passen- eers, including Mrs. Mary Pierce of New York. the only woman aboard. left F'riedrichshafen at 6:57 a. m., and crossed into France from Basel, Switzerland, about an hour and . half later.
 Swinging southwest, the diriStble passed over Lyons and then turned directly south down the valley of the Rhone to cross over Mines. From Mines, she headed southwest again and at 2:35 p. m. (S:35 a. m., F, g. ID she was sighted over Bar eelona, Spain.
 From the route which Dr. Hugo Eckener, her commander. was fol- lowing, it was certain that he would fly the southern course although 1t was not certain that he would pasa over Gibraltar as he had done on his first night to the United States.
 (Dispatches from Lisbon reported that the Graf Zeppelin was heading across Spain in the direction of Por- tugal. This course would carry him more on a direct line to the Azores than on the first flight when the Graf Zeppelin swung as far south as Madeira.)
 At the time of the sighting at Bar , celona, the Graf Zeppelin had been in the air s hours and sS minutes and had covered about $50 miles at an average of 75 miles an hour.
 As the Graf Zeppelin passed over Barcelona, it dropped a mail bag which fell son Avenue Gracia. The tenant of the house in front of which it fell carried it to the post office where it was opened. It contained . number of post cards for Ger man residents of Barcelona.
 In passing over the city. the dirisi- ble flew at such a low altitude that 1t was possible to see the passengers from the streets and house ball. comics
 Triedrichshafen. Germany, May 1S N-The dirigible Graf Zeppelin. mighty mistress of the air, raced westward with the sun today on its second trip across the Atlantic to America. Before it lay . variable course to Lakehurst. N. J., which the dirigible's master, Dr. Hugo Ecken- CT, did not expect to reach before late Saturday night or Sunday morning.
 Aboard the ship were 70 of the crew. 1s passengers and female gorilla. ''Susi.' The only woman passenger was Mrs. Mary Pierce,
