MacGrath City On Maiden Voyage First of Four Speed Ships of Export Lines Sails for Mediterranean The S. S. Exporter, newest of ex- Dress cargo liners, which received a narbor welcome In New York upon her arrival from the Fore River Shipyards at Quincy, left last week on her maiden voyage to Mediterranean ports. The vessel, a huge freighter of 14,450 displacement tonnage, with a length of 473 feet, a breadth of 66 feet and a depth of 42 feet, is the first of four speed unit ships to be delivered to the American Export Lines. The Exporter, on her trials, developed a speed over a measured course of 19'-i knots.

Complementing the new mach- ery, efficiency devices and modern mechanized features are the mod-f ern designed to emphasize! the new American marine spirit improved accommodations for crews. Notable among the features Is the! latest type of electric cargo landing' and discharging equipment, which; will be operated in connection with the seven cargo holds. "The greater efficiency will materially reduce the cost of operation per nautical mile," states John E. Slater, executive vice president of the lines, who points out that the three-deck type is especially adaptable for cargo trade between the United States and Mediterranean ports, which route parallels that of the company Four Ace de luxe passenger liners. Columbus Shrine Attracts Visitors Trujillo Cily, Where Discoverer Landed, Is Full of Fine Sights Cruise "pilgrimages" to the shrine of Christopher Columbus at Trujillo City, capital of the Dominican Republic, are more popular now than last year, reflecting the deep interest of Americans in the discoverer of the New World.

Sightseeing at Trujillo City, where Columbus made his headquarters in! the New World over four centuries ago, is one of the current highlights i or popular 11-day cruises of the Porto Rico Line to Puerto Rico and I the Dominican Republic. As the I visitor sets foot on Columbus Land1 he can reflect that Trujillo City Is correctly called the Cradle of the New World. For, in addition to the, discoverer, Pizarro, Cortez. Balboa' and every great figure in the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Central and South America, walked the streets of this picturesque and fascinating1 city.

It was at Trujillo City that Span-: lsh fleets laden with priceless treasure congregated twice each year to moke the inner nnri hazardous. vrvfl.ff to Spain, trusting in their numbers! to protect them against freebooters and pirates of Jealous nations. This cruise to the Land of Columbus gains added interest from the fact that It includes two visits with sightseeing at San Juan, in Uncle Sam's beautiful island of Puerto Rico. This island, incidentally, Is the only land visited by Columbus now under the American flag. New '400' Train Adds to Comfort Over the Canadian Rockies In Fall or Winter is one of the travel-features which California-bound visitors may enjoy with the saving of practically a day from Eastern cities by making the journey via Chicago and thence on the new, roller-bearing, streamlined "400" of the North Western Line to the Twin Cities, according to W.

Mead Association formally dedicates a 55-acre memorial park between this city: and Winter Park. I For three years the tract has been undergoing landscaping as a setting for the collection of orchids of the late Dr.

Theodore L. Mead. John H. Conenry, director, has announced Jan. 1 as the opening date.
