LINER SHFEYELDS " BULLON ROV KEY Sudden 'Storm Halts Work of Divers Salvaging Treasure Ship. BY DAVID SCOTT. BREST, France, September 8.—The captain’s safe, brought up from the sunken liner Egypt, was opened yes- terday while the salvage ship Artiglio was lying in port during an Atlantic . The safe contained a key to the bullion room of the ship, where $5,000,000 in gold and silver is hidden; & separate bunch of keys, unmarked, and a diplomatic_mail bag containing British foreign office correspondence. There was nothing else. The ship’s money and the anulb];r blelo?gml to gers are presumably in the pur- me in another part of the wreck. One of the objects of opening the safe today was to get absolute confir- mation of the identity of the wreck in the shape of the ship's log or other E‘pen bearing her: name. -Nothing of sort was found,.and so documentary evidence of the 's identity is still lacking. This is not very important, however, since the material evidence is conclusive. Crews Watfch Operation. ‘The safe was opened publicly on the Artiglio’s cargo hatch while a crowd of 200 to 300 looked on from above. ‘The safe was hauled up from the hold end lald on its back. Then an oxy- acetylene blowpipe was brought to bear on its bolts and hinges while the créws of the little salyage fleet crowded around. : ‘The blue flames ‘of the torch popped and crackled; rivulets of Mquid steel ran across the rusty plating, and in a short time the door of the safe was pried open with crowbars and thrown aside.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 8.— Crown Princess Astrid of Belgium, wife of Prince Leopold, yesterday gave birth to & nine-pound son, who become heir to the Belgian throne in the direct male line. The newcomer was baptized last night with the name Badouin Albert Axel Marie Gustave—the first name for the elder brother of King Albert, who died in 1891—and this preliminary bap- tismal service will be followed by a formal ceremony within a month, King Albert. as godfather. Royalty. The baby born at Stuyvenberg Castle, around which barbed wire had been stretched to keep back the curious public. However, when a salute of 101 guns announced the event, a great crowd surrounded the castle to cheer the prince and his family. Princess Astrid, who married the heir to the Belgian throne November 4, 1926, is 25 years old. She is the first daughter of Prince Charles of Sweden, brother of the Swedish King, and of Princess Ingeborg. Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid have another child, Princess Josephine Charlotte, who is nearly 3 years old. as if a glant’s hand had thrown a veil over the sea. A gray curtain of rain swept the horizon of the sea. Out of it came & deep, vibrating note of warning, and a minute later we on the Artiglio could faintly see a great steamer picking her way toward the land through the mist. Then the easterly breeze stopped and a squall from the west sent a multi- tude of foamy ripples splashing against the Artiglio’s sides. In an hour an angry sea was running and it was clear that the Artiglio could not stay at her moorings. The engine of the motor launch chose at this moment to break down, and it was in & small open boat that & crew of three set out to cast loose trom the buoys. This meant going to each buoy in turn and untying the lash- ings which held them to the cables, and each cable was 200 yards long. Sailors Have Hard Fight. They went first to the stern buoy and reached it in quick time, for a strong tide was running. Then they turned to row back to the ship and began an un- usual battle with the sea. Sometimes their boat was lost in a trough. Then it leaped upward, almost on its stern, and hung for a moment on a panted’ at the oars, ting against the current. At last a lifebuoy with & line attached was thrown over- board.

XIII Bargains for Banquets Where Popular Demand Reduces Prices “One policy of your company which gives me the greatest satis. faction,” writes an A&P customer, “is that you do not take advantage of a special demand for a product to profiteer. “For example, on the third of last July my A&P store sold good quality watermelons from 25c¢ to 56c below other storées in towm. AR&P, realizing that many people enjoy a nice melon for Fourth of July picnics, put them within reach of everyone.” A&P believes in making it as easy as possible for-people to get what they want when they want it most. That is why A&P provides special bargains in fruits and vegetables at the height of their season; in turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas, in delicacies during the Holidays, and in eggs at Easter. 5 The usual custom is to charge a little more when people for one reason or another are pretty sure to buy anyhow. A&P thinks these are just the times to make the cost of high living as low as possible. o ATLANTIC & PACIFIC® 1930, 0 at _Atlantie WooDpwARD & LOTHROP DOWN STAIRS STORE JERSEY—The By-Word For Fall Suits - and Dresses $5.95 : Sizes 14 to 20 This group of jersey includes suits with matching sweaters, skirts and berets to declare them smart for school wear . . . and dresses with-collars of pique in contrasting colors.
