0 m. BAr. 1-100 COLONIAL NE CO WEST VIA GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY 1 lltf lucky, strung-out islands of which Nassau Is the capital and hub of I all the fun and frivolity. If it's goofiness they want and Summer travelers Just seem to eat It up they get It before they even have a chance to land. They get it first when native guitar -strumming Bahamians go out to meet the boat, singing a song to the effect that "Mama don't want no beans, no peas, no coconut oil, just bottle of brandy handy all the time." They get another dose of it when native boys, skillful as fish, dive after passenger-tossed pennies deep into the clear blue waters.

shouting and clowning about the incoming ship until she has dis charged her last pasfenyer. Horse and Buggy hide The feeling of goofiness has become overpowering by the time our vacationist seats himself in an ancient horfedrawn vehicle which swings him along at a lively lour-mile-a-mlnute clip through attractive palm-shaded streets and past interesting little shops which seem to be full of native straw hats and baskets, handcarved coconuts, imported doeskins and tweeds, furniture carved from native woods, Imported liquors and myriads of other wares at bargain prices. So chock full of good things are these little shops that many of them seem in their enthusiasm to have allowed their wares to overflow part-way Into the street so that visitors may be sure to see them. By the time that our newly arrived visitor, perchance wearing a smart brown straw native hat and carrying an outlandish little carved coconut gnome, discovers that there actually is a place called Dirty Dick's Bar and that someone hasn't been kidding him, even such a name doesn't seem surprising anymore. Romance In Abundance Nassau has many things to offer the Summer visitor, of course, besides the things that seem so wacky.

It has romance with a capital as more honeymooners are finding out year after year. Down here lovers can glimpse a big tropical moon while strolling beneath stately royal palms or watch it tint the night landscape a silvery hue while they sail among the cays and isles of a veritable honey mooners paradise. For those who crowd their vaca- tion days with invigorating out- door sports, Nassau has tennis, golf and yachting to offer. Fishermen know the Bahamian waters will always yield big and often record catches the year-round. Or there's swimming in crystal clear, emerald i waters which never grow chilly and sunbathing on sands of an unbe- lievable white.

Mavbe it's becau.se there is so much to do that vacationists who once come here always want to return, and usually do. It's a good guess that there's more to it than that a sort of magic which makej doing everything seem so light-hearted, so much more fun in the doing. Call it goofiness; maybe that's the word after all. Folder Describes Canadian Rockies Those who are undecided whether they will spend their holidays this Summer at the seaside or mountains Sj will find a solution of their problem in a folder Just lrsued by Canadian National Railways, "Canadian Rockies and the Pacific Coast." The "Triangle Route" of the Canadian National Railways covers a 2.000-mile travel trail across four mighty mountain ranges by two different routes, from either Jasper, or from Vancouver, B. C.

By steamship it follows the Inside Passage for the full length of the mountainous coastline of British Columbia. Then there is an Alaska cruise of nine days' duration via the same "Inside Passage" route up to Skagway, Alaska, the land of gold and romance. WHEN OUT OF TOWN REGISTER FROM BROOKLYN Arriving at Havana, travelers on the 13-day trips enjoy such holiday pa.stimes as ocean swimming and visiting colorful night clubs and cabarets. For those desiring to spend more time in Miami, 9 to 13-day cruises are available which permit passengers to spend four to seven days in the Florida city, depending on the cruise selected. Combining a refreshing cruise with a visit to the oldest city in America are the 6 to 13-day trips to St.

Augustine. These weekly cruises take vacationists to Jacksonville where they travel overland to the Old Spanish city for a two to nine-day visit, depending on the choice of trip. Especially planned for vacationists who wish to make a visit to Texas a 13-day itinerary Is offered which includes two calls at Miami and a day and a half In Texas. Records Show Cures Wrought More Than Two Centuries Ago Quebec, April 20 The tens of thousands of pilgrims who this Spring will visit the magnificent new cathedral of Ste. Anne-de-Beaupre, built to replace the former basilica which was burned in 1922, will learn with the deepest interest that the miracles wrought in behalf of afflicted persons who have sought this world-famous shrine extend to the mid- eventeenth century.

The records are contained in his- 1 1 1 toric documents such as the "Jour-I NOUI Iff) 111 lPTVIPP nal des Jesuits" and the "Relations nv" JVIfllV Indies. These fair passengers Italian Liners Back on Job Roma and Augustus Arive in Mid-Spring To provide more passenger accommodations and greater comfort on its North Atlantic route to meet the Increase in westbound passenger traffic from Genoa to New York, the Italian Line announces the return of the two "Lido liners." to Roma and Augustus, each of more than 30,000 tons, will replace the sister ships, Vulcania and OatJI llitl, Largest and fastest of Italy's ex- press liners preceding the advent of the super-liners Rex and Conte di Savoia, the Roma and the Augustus, largest motor vessels afloat, will share the Italian Line's sailing schedule from New York with the Rex and Conte di Savoia. Their transfer to the New York run steps up this service and provides the traveling public with the choice of four large express liners. The Roma and Augustus make their first arrivals in New York under the revised schedule on May 15 and June 12, and their first departures on May 18 and June 15, respectively. Thereafter these two ships will take their schedule turns on the regular sailings of the Italian Line from New York.

Capf. Bendetti Promoted by Moore-MTormack Becomes Port Captain In Rio Served in War And Lives in Bay Ridge The appointment of Capt. Benjamin Bendetti as Port Captain for Moore-McCormack Lines In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was announced yesterday by Commander Robert C. Lee, executive vice president of the company. Captain Bendetti Is now on his way to Rio to assume his new-duties and his place as Master of the Moore-McCormack liner.

MOR-MACWREN has been taken by Capt. Bernard Kelly. Captain Bendetti Is one of the best known members of the line's officer's staff. He was born in Rome 44 years ago, and went to sea in 1920 after having served in the United States Army for seven years. He rose from the rank of private to Second Lieutenant during his stay In the Army, served with the Field Artillery in France from December 1917 to July 1919, and most of the time with the Second Division.

Ten years ago, when Captain Bendetti was in command of the American Scantlc Line's Sagau-che later renamed the SCAN-STATES he effected the rescue of thirty-five German seamen from a floundering ship during a storm In mid-Atlantic. He was widely acclaimed for his seamanship and was decorated by the German Government. He lives in Bay Ridge, and holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander In the United States Naval Reserve. Commander Lee also announced the appointment of Capt. William J.

Curott as Master of the American Republics Liner MORMAC-PENN to succeed Capt. E. G. Barrett, who sailed Friday after- noon as "commander of the MOR- port on her maiden voyage to MACYORK when ah left this South America. Southern Resorts arid Cities On Spring Vacation Cruises des Jesuits." It is related that one Louis Gui-inont.

a farmer of Petit Cap, was afflicted with rheumatism. Due to his devout training, he nevertheless managed to place some stone In the foundation of the new church of Ste. Anne, whose construction was Just commencing. Miraculously, it is told, he found himself swiftly healed and thus he is said to have been the first person to have experienced the blessings of the goodness of Sainte Anne. Early Miracles But in 1662 a more striking cure took place in the wife of Elie Godin, I who came from the same town as I Gulmont.

Remembering what her husband had told her of the cure Of Guimont, she began to invoke the blessing of Sainte Anne and in that very moment she became able to walk, though it was said that for 18 months she had not been able to straighten herself for the rheumatism. In the very same year Nicholas Drotiin. who was often in danger Of death because of frequent attacks of epilepsy, made a novena In honor of Sainte Anne and was completely cured. More than 10.000,000 persons have Visited this famous shrine since 1658. It is credibly estimated that communion haa been given to more than 6,000,000 souls.

More than 600,000 persons now visit the world-famous shrine each year. For six months one of the legs Of Jean Pardes, a French soldier the Quebec garrison, had been completely paralyzed. This was in 1667, and the account reports that those who knew his condition believed it would be as easy to raise the dead to life as to effect the cure of tM man. But he went to Sainte Anne to make a novena. On the fifth day he felt he could walk as if he never had had any trouble at til.

Being Offered To Coast Fair A new, all-Pullman streamlined train, the "Treasure Island," providing additional de luxe accommodations for travel between Chicago and San Francisco this Sum mer, will be placed in service for three months beginning June 19, W. S. Basinger, general passenger traffic manager of the Union Pacific Railroad, announced yesterday. Of particular benefit to San Francisco Exposition visitors, the new train, to be operated Jointly by the Union Pacific, Chicago North Western and Southern Pacific railroads, will make a round trip every six days. Entering service from Chicago, the "Treasure Island" will stagger its trips with those of the "City of San Francisco" streamliner and the "Forty-Niner," Mr.

Basinger said. He pointed out that this will give super-speed train service every second day on the Chicago-San Francisco run. Day-Coach Travelers Use Streamlined Trains Day-coach travelers bound for all points on the Pacific Coast may use the fast day and a half streamlined trains from Chicago on the great overland route, according to W. G. Babel, general agent for the North Western Line in this ter-ritory.

Mr. Babel calk attention to the I fact that the cities. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Den all carry coaches as well as Pullman sleeping cars. i With Spring's arrival awakening thoughts of how and whore to spend early-season vacations, Clyde-Mal-lory Lines' extensive program of economical, all-expense, American flag cruises will attract many holi-dayers to cities and resorta along the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Adaptable to virtually every holiday itinerary and budget, these "CruLseway" vacations begin at New York and range from 6 to 13 days' duration.

Included in the low-cost cruise rates are first-class hotel accommodations and meals while asrtore.
