Three Minute Journeys

The mellow beauty Of the town,
with its artistic old buildings,
lends beauty to the medieval
canvas that is framed in the green
of olive groves.
Ancient Sassari, the home Of
Italy's rich foldlore, offers an
even greater anachronism than
that engendered by a motor ride
through country Of ancient
handlooms and primitive nipple
mentS, habits and customs.
ALGHERO
Adjoining SasSari's medieval
palaces and churches, reminiscent
of the rule of Aragon and Spain,
is a new city, gay with garder.s
and handsome boulevards, where
crowds in multi-hued costumes
celebrate picturesque Sandman
festivals.
Farther down the highway is
Alghero, another town where time
yawns. The lovely bay is domi-
mated by the largest known Ara
gonian cathedral,
A fascinating world extends
from Cagliari, the capital Of Sar'
DINA, to the nearby islands of ST.
Pietro and st. Antioco.
On these islands, as in Sardinia
will be found the handcraft
homes, the quaint household fur
r'ture, the Sandman chest and
coverlets, the apple-bIosSomed
Scarfs and the windowsill decora'
tons found nowhere else.

Horror and Thanks

T HE horror of the disaster to the Zeppelin linden
l. burg is mixed with feeling of thanksgiving that
so many of the passengers and crew escaped death
The cause of the disaster is Of course yet unknown
and, in fact, may never be known.
But there be little doubt that the speed with which
the flames enveloped the giant veteran of many an
Atlantic flight due to the of the highly In
flammable hydrogen gas.
It is in this that the tragedy of the Hndenburg differs
from the accidents which have plagued the attempts of
the United States to develop and use dirigibes.
Our ships used helum, anon-infammabe gas, and the
troubles which them could not be attributed
to this factor.
There will be universal regret at the tragedy marrng
the great record which the Zeppens had established
The transatlantic flights of the Hindenburg had be-
come almost commonplace
So safe was the ship regarded that comparatively
little notice paid to her activities.
Yet at the end of almost perfect flight she has
added another horror story to the long list of tragedies
marking mans efforts to conquer the skies.

SARDINIA

Should you happen to be in Italy
this summer, and anxious to get
away from the usual tourist
haunts, visit the Tuscany coast. In
the harbor of Civitavecchia there
will be a number of trim little
steamers brightly-labeled Sardegna.
Those who have admired the
Venetian shawls and the wide deco
rative straw hats of the Tuscan
women, may take one of the little
steamers for a folklore voyage to
the Isle of Sardinia.
The short voyage itself is a
holiday cruise of enhancing
beauty. Having crossed the beauti'
full Gulf of Aranci, the vessel
winds it's way through rock-pitched
inlets into the narrow Straits OF
TerranoVa.
TERRANOVA
And when one lands at Terra
nova, that grand old port built on
the site of Olbia, later Punic
founded by the early Greeks, one
is back in the middle ages.
