SAY MASS ON PEAK. Italian Villagers Follow Unique lony Through Telescopes. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. ROME, September 21.—Holy mass at 15,000 feet above sea level was cele- brated by two intrepid priests on the Peak Cervino, one of the highest mountains near the French border. They were Don_Ronco, a priest of Parish Voltounariche, a village at the foot of the mountain, and Don Bordet, his assistant. Both are enthusiastic amateur Alpinists. The ceremony was reverently followed by the viliagers through telescopes. Telegrams announcing the event were sent to the Pope and to Premier Mussolini. (Copyright. 1926. by Chicago Daily News Co.)

New York The coach stations are located in the Pershing Square Building on 42nd Street just east of Park Avenue and directly opposite Grand Central Terminal, and in the Waldosf-Astoria Hotel on 33rd Street at the corner of Astor Court. Both stations are con- venient to subway and surface lines and provide for the sale of tickets and parcel checking, also porter service and women’s rest rooms. . The Train Connection Coaches meet all Baltimore & Ohio trains on arrival at Jersey City and cover two distinct routes to the Pershing Square Station, one via 23rd Street for uptown travel, and the other via Liberty Street for both downtown and uptown travel. Stops are also made at scheduled points for the discharge of passengers. The coaches — of the parlor-coach type—are manned by trained chauffeurs and courteous attendants. A feature of interest is the splendid view of New York’s famous waterfront and sky line and the trip through its busy streets. When you return from New York you will find the same con- venient service. The Train Connection Coaches leave the coach stations on schedule time and the trains do not leave Jersey City until the coaches arrive. Your Baltimore & Ohio ticket entitles you to this extra service without added cost.
