make a grand circle trip about
the country at sensationally low

Under this plan an individual

point, without retracing his route.
Or, if he chooses, he may 20 to the
Pacific Coast first and afterwards to
New York. He may choose various
attractive routes, and stop-overs in
both directions are allowed.
On these trips, passengers may
travel from $500 to more than

the starting point and the selected
route.
This is a progressive railroad pol

the fuehrer speak SO briefly?"
Hitler's only comment when he
heard of the explosion was "a fell

lit can be stated without reserva-
ton that these destroyers will be SUI

they Will give years Of valuable peace

Edison wrote the Michigan senator
after Vandenburg had sent him an
editorial from the Grand Rapids,
Mich, Herald, referring to reports
heavy that fuel oil could not be used
out Of their holds, lest the ships fall
over.
The editorial covered also reports
that the new 10,0O0-ton cruisers built
under the recent authorizations by
Congress "shimmed so violently that
they cracked their stern posts and
had to be rebuilt"
Edison told Vandenburg faulty
castings had caused cracks to de-
velop in stern posts of the Chester
Suiville class Of heavy cruisers, COM
pleted about 1880, and that they were
replaced. The last replacement was
made in 1884, in the Houston, often
