GLASGOW, Scotland, April IL
The famous Loeb Ness monster has
made an appearance this year, with
Alphin Chisholm, former Mayor Of
Morris, Manitoba, Canada, claiming
to be an eyewitness.
Now on a holiday in his native
Glenurquhart, after so years absence
from Scotland, Chisholm reported he
was motoring near the loch when he
saw a large creature emerge from the
water.
"The neck" said Chisholm, Seemed
large and was projected forward, hav-
ing resemblance to racehorse in
action. Both the neck and a great
part of the head seemed rough and
ugly, apparently either flabby or
covered with hair.
THE beast remained on the surface
Of the water for over two minutes
and disappeared just as was focus
ing a camera on the spot. But had
an excellent view with strong binoc-
ulars"
Chisholm estimated the size Of the
monster at about 80 feet.
Il had been skeptical of the exist
ence of such monster, but all doubt
has now vanished. I am certain there
is in the loch a creature that is very
large and very mysterious"

SHRINE OF BOOK BEER

Legend Tells How Goat Figured

Ago IN Germany.

EINBECK, April 11-One may-if
he wishes-make pilgrimage to the
town where the term book beer origi-
mated. The town is Einbeck-so tiny
that an earnest survey of the map of
Germany hardly makes it clear
whether its province, Hid, is actually
in Prussia or out of it.
Einbeck is just 40 miles south OF
Hanover, a thoroughfare for tourists
in search of the quaint and pictur-
esque: so any one cherishing a senti-
mental desire to motor out there may
easily do so, with an afternoon 20
spare from his German itinerary.
The origin of book beer itself, it
seems, is traceable to one of the
smaller towns in the Hanseatic
League. According to legend, brewer
and his customer held gargantun
drinking bout, using as the test of
their sobriety the threading of a
needle with two-ply tWine while
standing on one leg. After the
twelfth gallon the customer COL
lapsed-and the brewer called out in
triumph that his goat Cor bock) had
butted him over.

ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL

Modified.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE unpre-
cedented boom in travel from the
United States to South America has
been given added impetus by the re-
cent easing of steamship ticket tax re-
quirements by the governments Of Ar
gentina and Brazil. The ticket tax of
10 per cent which was formerly COL
lected by Argentina from passengers
stopping less than so days, has been
done away with. Only the 2 per cent
social insurance tax is now applied by
Brazil on the portion of steamship
tickets calling for passage from Bra
lillian ports. In transit. passengers
holding stopover tickets are entirely
exempt from this tax.
Another inducement to American
travellers to visit South America is
the fact that passport requirements
for tourists have been greatly modi-
fled.
