U. 5. DIRIGIBLE HAS - TREATY PASSPORT Los Angeles’ Guantanamo Visit Recalls Naming of Mount Vernon. Pour world powers approved the “passport” that permitted the United States Navy dirigible Los Angeles to visit Guantanamo, Cuba, and the Panama | Canal recently. A treaty prohibits the | use of the big airship in military ma- | neuvers, and a “special dispensation” by Great Britaln, Japan, Italy and France, the other signers of the treaty. was necessary to allow it to call at the Win- | ter quarters of the scouting fleet in | Guantanamo, and to continue to Pan- | ama to take part in the joint war games of the entire United States fleet. “Guantanamo Naval Station, the Los Angeles’ first military port of call, is Uncle Sam's sentry of the Caribbean,” says a bulletin from the National Geo- | graphic Soclety. “Not strongly fortified | enough to be & second Gibraltar, it is, | nevertheless, strategically located on | one of the largest and firiest harbors in | the West Indies “Despite its location n-ar the far| edstern tip of Cuba, at the crossroads | of the main routes to the Guif of Mex- | jco and the Spanish Main, Guantanamo Gored by Bull OVATION GIVEN AMERICAN RESCUED BY MEXICAN.

Scene Is Disappointing. “The matter of a ‘passport’ for the Los Angeles seems & bit involved when one considers that permission was ob- tained from Great Britain, Japan, Italy and France to have the airship visit a of United States territory owned by the Republic of Cuba. Guantanamo Naval Station is not an American col- ony. It is a desolate, sandy peninsula and an adjoining plece of bay—an area about half the size of the District of Columbia—which is rented from Cuba for $2,000 annually, or less than the average rent for a Park avenue, New York, ent. “Guan 0 Naval Station is en-| tirely under the Jul‘d'u(t!illcnonl o‘fi :hue Department, and the only dwell- | Nin::’md other facilities of the station | are connected with the activities of the et | “From the decks of the warship that | the American Jack Tar for his| visit to Guantanamo the naval| station is & disappointing place.

Bl i % here Sunday by Marclal _Lalanda, Spanish bull fighter, and Franklin's rival for the bi-lingual cheers of a holiday crowd. Pranklin killed four bulls. The fifth, the black one, gored him when he slipped on soft sand. Franklin, strug- gled to his feet to renew the combat, but Lalanda, secing Franklin's leg was bleeding, rushed to the rescue. A moment later the American fainted and was carried from the ring. La- landa finished the bull, but Franklin returned before the next fight was con- cluded to receive an ovation. The bullfight was an event of a Taredo, Tex. Washington's birthday fiesta. Franklin was taken to a Laredo hospital. Physicians said they doubted that the wound would permit him to appear in a bullfight arranged for next Sunday just across the border from Eagle Pass, Tex. Franklin has suffered several injuries since he left commercial art for the bullring in 1923. He was gored in Lis- bon August 12, 1929, and in Madrid March 16, 1930. He was tossed in Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, May 14, 1930. A bridge to be constructed at Van- couver, British Columbia, will cost $1,650,000. “A COUGH with woven edge; fold- ed, ready to use.
