One weighs anchor and disappears; another arrives to take its place, It is an unending process--one of the finest kaleidoscopic views of shipping to be seen anywhere In the world. Monsoon Prepares The southwest monsoon is now preparing "a blow," and the long sweeping rollers of thousands of miles of ocean will pound and roar over the stone breakwater, Liners pitch, roll and stagger in- side, to 'steady as soon as they have passed the entrance to the harbor. It is a weird sensation to watch a great ship heaving through spray and foam, dipping her bows under "green ones," and yet only a few hundred yards from quiet anchorage. April is a month to beware of when one is travelling in eastern of this annual storm season and the pale-faced but happy traveller who feels his feet at last on the even floor of the Customs shed. Always, in bad or fair weather, a stream of ships is passing through this ocean junction. Vessels for India and Burma, Australia and the South Seas, the China Coast and Japan, they all pause for a few hours, and then steam out again. Bits of cargo, mail, passengers, and the Australian girls -- they must all be disembarked at Col- ombo. The romance may have started aboard ship. The blue and gold of Mediterranean seas and sunshine, the voluptuous nights in the Red Sea, or the soft caressing winds of the temperamental Indian Ocean. All these help to make Colombo a climax to romance. Or perhaps it is that steamship companies grant "stopovers" on passage tick- ets. . Whatever the reason, the Colom- boan undoubtedly held a reserved seat in one of the most concentrat- ed areanas of matrimony on the globe. Australian girls are like cheap Have you seen "H and Dales" yet? A "phone call to 295 will brihg a car to pour door. 1 DANCING TONIGHT! «at the- Jubilee Pavilion gens. Colombo is a daily spectator, AIRPLANES BARRED FROM QUEBEC PARK Sir G. Garneau Says Trans. + Atlantic' Fliers Granted Special Privilege Quebec, May 3.--In future,. no airplanes will be allowed to land on the National Battlefields Park. commonly known as the Plains of Abraham, and steps will be taken to stop aviators from using the park as a landing field, according to Sir George Garneau, chairman of the commission In charge of the park. Sir George Tuesday told news- papermen that permission had been Featuring "The Blue Marines" 0 cars here--they are everywhere, In hotels, restaurants, in the streets, you gee these rather Americanlike slim figures, surprisingly gay, oh- viously friendly. The girls of Col- ombo object, criticise, raise scorn- ful eyebrows, all futile gestures, The Australian girl, as far as Ceylon is concerned, is an irresis- tible force, Sometimes they intend to "stop over' between hoats, and remain for the rest of their earth- bound existence--the wife of some Englishman, bank clerk, shop as- sistant, military officer, More often they catch a country- man "en passant" and sail trium- phantly for their native Dominion, two weeks away, given to airmen to land on the Plains during the aftermath of the "remen flight, but for exceptional 2a80n8. The recent landings have caused erious damage to the National Tattlefields Park, and it will prob- ably take months before everything is restored to normal. Hundreds of feet of hedges were smashed. The field itself will have to be ploughed up and sown with fresh seed in places. ALLEGED RUM RING LOCATED IN TOLEDO Three Men Under Arrest-- Airplane Operates in : Canada Toledo, Ohio, May 3.--An alleg- ed rum ring operating out of To- ledo which made an almost daily use of an airplane from the Cana- dian shore and employed a fleet of lake motor boats and automobiles was revealed here by Government officials, The climax to an investigation that started a year ago, Alfred Nominee, owner of a farm along the lake shora and two other men have been arrested and are awaits ing hearing on charges of violat- ing the prohibition, customs and revenue laws, Lee N.
