The BishOp of Barking, which is a district of Old Lon- don, is the champion. Not only does his lordship call short skirts, “an en- tirely innocent form of dress” but he asserts they are of value in saving life. The bishop says that when motoring at night along the roads the headlights are quick to show up legs in light stockings, thereby enabling the driver to avoid running into pedestrians. That’s about the best argument we’ve heard yet for the short skirt. Girls, if you value your lives these days, don’t cover up your legs. It’s dangerous.

But let Count de Prorok tell it. “The ancient history of the Mediter- ranean tells us of cities that have been submerged. galleys that have sunk. and other treasures beneath the sea. And the legend of the lost continent is still the subject of endless controversy. I long have thrilled at the thought that the legend of the Atlantis might be an existing fact; of a submerged But foremost in count de Promin's mind lies the hope, which is really BRITISH TENNIS STAR IN FINAL OF UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIPS - Miss Betty Nuthall.

She is here seen shaking hands with Miss Louise McFarland, whom she defeated easily. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE were once great land bridges at Gib- raltar, Tunis. Sicily, and other points, parts of which are now submerged. It has been found that detailed meas- urements of the skulls of Gauchi peoples of the Madeira islands compare exactly with those of present day Tau- regs of the Sahara and with certain skulls found in tombs in Yucatan. How long before the dawn of history, did counterparts of the unusual Taureg find their way into Yucatan? Coincident with the subterranean ex- ploration there will be a land expedi- tion deep into the northern part of Africa to determine just to what extent human life moved through the Hogger and Atlas mountains, where, it is be- lieved, the original home of the Atlan- teans may have been. Skeletons iden- tical with living Tauregs have been found there. Over the Sahara desert an expedition will go with powerful six- wheel trucks capable of travelling 800 miles without refueling; equipped with searchlights for night work, laboratory facilities and machine guns for protec- tion against the ferocity of the Tauregs â€"surly giants; remnants of a vast ci- vilization, the last of the Atlanteans. Both the land and sea expeditions go equipped with every known modern de- vice that might lend itself to the suc- cess of the enterprise. Always hovering above the diving cylinder will be a 140 foot yacht. In addition to a laboratory, it will contain Special grappling appar- atus. wireless equipment, photographic installations, a glass bottom for sub- marine observation and the great wind- lass for manipulating the diving cylin- der. It also will carry an unusual type of submarine boat from which divers may emerge into a lost world of ruins of cities, or explore the sunken treas- ures of ancient Carthaginian galleys. will demonstrate how movies are made. .This is probably the first time that a legitimate movie star has appeared on any midway.
