minutes walk from the post Office and
is worth visit. 1t is a flight of 66
steps cut from the solid rock. The
purpose and date OF its construction
are obscure.
Mermaid's Pool. an oval opening in
the rock descending to an emerald
pool and surrounded by pine trees,
lies about miles to the south of
Nassau in the interior of the island.
Some Streets Minus Sidewalks.
Though sidewalks are not every
where to be found. many visitors enjoy
walking about the picturesque streets
Of Nassau. Vistas of pink walls, gar
dens and interesting gateways greet
one along the way. Glimpses over
the walls or through gateways reveal
views of quaint gardens.
Since the recent establishment of
the Montagu Race Track great inter-
est has been taken in the races, which
are held once week. The race track
is situated miles west of Nassau.
The pari-mutuel betting is operated
under the rules of the Canadian
Racing Association and is supervised
by the Bahamian government.
Dirty Dicks is an institution well
known in Nassau. and one might al
most say in America. This famous
liquor shop and bar is to be found in
Bay street, opposite the market. A
special responsibility is undertaken
to return to their ships cruise pas
sengers who forget the sailing hour
of their vessels.
Take Guests Wardrobe.
Nassauvians are hospitable and en-
joy entertaining. English colony life
prevails and there are frequent social
gatherings to which Winter visitors
are invited. 1t is a good idea to bear
this in mind in selecting a wardrobe
for the trip.
Shopping is always an interesting
pastime in Nassau. Many products
are sold that are not to be found
at home or are far more expensive
at home if found at all. A great
variety of merchandise is imported
from England and the continent and
the low tariff makes possible attrac-
tive prices.
The Jungle Club. on the grounds of
the Fort Montagu Beach Hotel, offers
a unique attraction in its unusual
situation and atmosphere. The club
is open to non-members on payment
OF a nightly fee. Evening dress is
customary. An excellent orchestra,
large dance floor, drinks, refresh
ments and cool breezes have given
The Jungle far-f1ung reputation.

BELFAST, Ireland, September as
Ulster, northern province OF Ireland
comprises one-sixth Of the total ares
Of the Emerald Isle, and one-eight-
eenth OF the total area OF the British
Isles.
There is a long seaboard to the
north and east extending for 245
miles. while the land boundary to
the south and west measures 200
miles. The waters of the southern
portion OF the coast are shallow, but
the eastern and northeastern shores
are f1anked by the deep north chan
mel, and good natural harbors are
to be found in many places. Three
estuaries-those Of the Lagan, Foyle
and Newry Rivers-run for consid-
cradle distances inland. and so greatly
facilitate trading with the hinterland
The Lagan Estuary is the principal
goods port for Belfast and for an
extensive inlying district. It is also
the chief terminal station for mail
and passenger steamers plying be-
tween Northern Ireland and British
ports.
Geographically, Northern Ireland
is chiefly hilly or rolling country, the
highest levels being reached in the
Mourne Mountains in the south, where
the greatest height is 2,796 feet above
sea level. Considerable stretches of
fiat land. however, are to be found
III most Of the counties, and agricul-
ture is extensively carried on in these
lowlands
The country as whole is famed
for the wide diversity of its beautiful
natural scenery, ranging from the
loveliness of Lough Erne and the
Glens of Antrim to the rugged
grandeur of the Gaint's Causeway and
the coast road from Larne to Portush.

MONTHERME, France, September
25.-f you are apt to be absent
minded at times and misplace i'm
portant belongings, don't fail to visit
the shrine of ST. Anthony at Mont
herme. in the French Ardennes. Even
though you go through all the rigama-
role Of lost-and-found bureaus, you
should either thank St. Anthony for
helping you find the lost article, or
ask him to help you recover it, at least
many do.

as he is famous for his ability to help
forgetful people find whatever they
have lost. The saint originally came
from Padua, Italy, and is known all
over Europe. but he Is particularly
popular in France where extraordinary

MOUNTAINS OFFER
HAYFEvER REFUGE
Kane, Pa, Takes Pride in
Relief Reputation and En-
forces Weed Elimination.
BY the Associated Press.


KANE, Pa, September 25.-Rag-
weed allergics-the new-fangled name
for hay fever sufferers-today lodged
the ubiquitous pollen in this North
ern Pennsylvania mountain town and
waited for the first frost to make
their home towns livable.
Hundreds of hay fever refugees
crowded into hotels and tourist homes
week ago as the late Summer winds
sent the ragweed pollen dancing
through the air.
They forsook their homemade rem
edies for the high altitude of this
plateau. 2,20O feet above sea level and
at the gateway to the Allegheny Ma
tional Forest.
Two Things to Do.
Doctors say there are two things
to do when you are allergic, wnicn
means that you can't get along with
ragweed or a dozen other weeds and
grasses:
/. Get the fever before it gets you-
by taking it in small doses in serums.
Such treatment often builds up a
resistance to the normal attacks of
the weeds, physicians explain.
2. Or get as far away as possible
from the weeds.
This last is what hundreds are do
ing this Summer in Kane, where
young and old have come for several
years past for the Winter snow games.
One Erie business man said he had
tried to freeze" his attacks of the
fever by sitting in big refrigerator
but gave 1t up when he was threat
ened with pneumonia.
Doctors Adopt No. 2.
Others said they inhaled great
quantities of ground horse radish to
no avail.
A number of physicians are taking
the No. 2 prescription and have reg
istered from Cleveland, Pittsburgh
and Buffao.
Articles were written so years ago
in medical journals lauding Kane's
mountain air as good defense
against hay fever. The town itself
has given hand to nature by wag-
ing continuous warfare on weeds.
An ordinance requires all property
owners to keep their land clear of
weeds. and a special wedding crew
guards against any oversight.
