CLEVELAND, February 22.-spe-

In principal cities have Just been
arranged for bus travellers using the
Great Eastern System, Inc, the COM
pany has announced.
The new service, to be known as
the Great Eastern Hotel Association
plan, offers savings to patrons. In
no instance will the saving be less
than 10 per cent.
This Is the first time that anything
OF this kind has been attempted by
any transportation system. The plan
makes special hotel rates available in
New York, Philadelphia. Chicago, st.
Louis, Pittsburgh. New Haven and
Baltimore, and other large cities, and
Is expected not only to encourage
ous travel, but to create much new
business for the hotels.
Under the plan a traveller receives
a Great Eastern Identification card
free when he buys his ticket. Upon
reaching the city in which he wishes
to stop he goes to the association
hotel and presents his card. Upon
leaving he is charged the Great East
ern wholesale rate by the hotel and
pays the hotel direct.

DELPHIC ORACLE YET
AN UNSOL WE'D MYSTERY

ATHENS, February 22--The mys-
terry of the Delphic oracle, which was
known throughout the ancient world
for its prophecies, remains unsolved.
although excavations and research in
the ancient city Of Delphi have con-
tinued for more than 40 years. Scores
OF visitors continue to search for the
chasm from which the prophecies
were supposed to have issued, basinp
their hopes on ancient writings about
the procedures before the oracle gave
its prophecies.
According to the records, the priest
ess in charge did not prophesy until
she had breathed the air from the
schasm and become Intoxicated by it.
A priest then took down her words,
later putting them in verse.
The chasm or cavern has disap-
peared in modern times or else never
exiseted. Many Psychologists today
hold to this theory despite records left
by the ancient geographer Strabo and
the Greeks themselves. Others believe
the cave was filed in with debris after
the temple connected with It was
demolished, toward the end Of the
fourth century.

RESORT HOTEL OPENS

GUAYMAS, Mexico, February a.
The Playa de Cortes, a magnificent
new all-year resort hotel, has Just
been opened by the Southern Pacific
Railroad. Guaymas is located Is
hours south of Tucson on the South
ern Pacific's West Coast route to Mex
leo City. The Playa de Cortes and
its four private cottages are but a
stones throw from the azure blue
waters of Bocochibampo Bay in the
Gulf of California. Situated just out
side the city, it provides seclusion,
but is close enough to the typical Old
World city of Guaymas to make the
shops easily accessible.
The peaks of ths Sierre Madre rise
$500 feet in back of the hotel.
The hotel is a low-lying edifce,
covering considerable ground, with
courts and patios, and has been so
designed that beautiful marine view
is afforded from every guest room in
the building.

PALERMO. Sicily. February 22.-If
there should ever be q contest to de-
eide the oldest tourist country of Eu-
rope, Sicily would certainly win one Of
the first places. Nearly every European
nation that has sailed the seas has
stopped off in Sicily at one time or an
other, conquered the island, left here
buildings and monuments typical of
| its civilization, then given way to some
new conqueror. And travellers are still
coming here, but today they come not
to conquer, but to be won by the bril-
liant Winter sunshine, the tropical
luxuriance of the islands orchards and
vineyards, its Spring, when the almond
trees bloom, the Latin exurberances
of its people.
Palermo, the capital and principal
seaport, is set in an amphitheater of
groves. with a range of mountains as
background. A busy, bright little city.
its exquisite bay has often been COM
pared to the Bay of Naples, and, like
many another Italian city, it is famous
for its churches.
Bright Carts.
| These, however, cannot rival in in
terest the small two-Wheeled carts.
drawn by donkeys, which one sees
everywhere in Palermo and in all
Sicily. Wheels are carved and gor-
geously colored, the panels on the sides
and the two in the door at the back
are decorated with pictures-some-
times historical subjects, sometimes
religious-and the whole is the peas
ants most valued possession. On fete
days there are often competitions for
the finest carts. Donkeys are decked
out in huge plumes, harness trimmed
with gold, silver or nickel, and the
gathering rivals in glamour a circus
parade.
In Palermo, too, If one explores side
streets, one can find another typical
feature of Sicilian Hfe-the marion
cite theater. The puppets there are
crude and heavy, with but few joints
in their bodies, so that they move awk-
wardly on the stage, and there is only
one play, with endless variations, re-
enacting of the Crusades. At every
performance armor flashes, Christian
and Saracen engage in fierce battle,
skulls are split and in the end tri-
umph comes-to the Christian, of
course.
Operas and Greek Plays.
But Sicily has other theatrical en-
tertainment as we'll. Palermo has its
opera, while Greek plays are now per-
formed each Spring, usually in April,
in the Greek Theater at Syracuse,
where some of Aeschylus' plays were
first given. About half an hour out of
Syracuse by carriage, this theater Is
scooped out Of rock and looks down
from its plateau over the harbor. II is
one of the finest Greek structures on
the island.
Taormina is, however, the estab-
lished beauty queen of Sicily. The
town has perfect setting, for it is
built on a natural terrace overlooking
the Mediterranean, ard in back of ii
rise steep mountain slopes. The view
from its Graeco-Roman theater out
over the countryside to Mount Etna is
one of the most famous and most
photographed in the world.

The Lapps themselves are a strange

agreed that they are survivors of

Europe. They are dwarfish, with
