SYRIAN eon
PATROL INCREASED
British and French Officials
Act at Report of Arab
Ultimatum.
St the Associated Press.
BEIRUT. Syria. June 27.—Border
patrols were reinforced tonight fol
lowing a report Transjordan Arab
tribes had sent a nationalist ulti
matum to Sir Arthur Grenfell Wau
Chope. Palestine high commissioner.
The nature of the ultimatum was
not disclosed, but, in view of mount
ing Arab nationalist feeling in sym
pathy with the Palestine Arabs’ fight
against the Jewish influx in the Holy
Land. French and British forces took
added precautions on their respective
sides of the border.
The British consul said Syrian
Arabs were allowed to cross the Pal
estine frontier freely, however.
Meanwhile. Syrians who have joined
Transjordan Arabs in espousing their
Palestine brothers’ cause continued to
destroy veterables bound for the Holy
Land.
Many merchants voluntarily cut off
shipments of goods to Palestine Jews
in an effort to help the Arabs in their
fight against Jewish immigration and
land ownership.
Officials said land transportation
between Palestine and Beirut was be
coming virtually impossible.
Adding to Syrian complexities, the
Country had its own movement
against French rule under a League
of Nations mandate.
BUtvUt K 1/1AI3E.U.
Censorship in Jerusalem Is Tightened.
Snipers Less Active.
JERUSALEM. June 27 (*>).—Cen
sorship was tightened and the Pales
tme-Transjordan border closed to
night as the Jewish holiday passed
with only desultory firing by snipers.
(The Palcor Agency reported an
Arab was killed this morning during a
clash with troops in the Nablus dis
trict, bringing the Arab death total to
145 aince the outbreak of Arab resent
ment at Jewish immigration.)
Trains were fired upon by snipers,
but no casualties were reported.
The Transjordan frontier was closed
following spread of a sympathetic
movement among Transjordan Arabs
to aid their Palestine brothers in
geeking a halt to Jewish immigration
and land purchases.

TRAVEL.
The Traveler’s Notebook
Fort Worth Ready for Digging in Fun Lodestone
July 18—France and England From the Air.
Flotels Fly Flags of Guests.
i
BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr.
TOTING such two-gun words as
stupendous, amazing, racy, the
Frontier Centennial at Fort
Worth, under the direction of
the super - super - super - showman
j (super for short) Billy Rose, opens
July 18. News just clattered in by
pony express. Covered by the dust of
at least 12 States, with a sub-stratum
of Texas, the exhausted rider handed
over the news flash and promptly
upped and expired. But Frontier
i officials said that’s all right, just send
' him back to Fort Worth and the show
: will wake him up.
It will if it lives up to super-24
| sheets that Fort Worth is plastering,
; figuratively, around the 47 other
I States. "Mammoth musical extrava
| ganza" is just a modest phrase to the
i promoters, who, perhaps you recall,
are telling the world to go elsewhere
for education and to Fort Worth for
! fun—such fun as super-night-club
life, with no super-dressed entertain
ers; lusty old ballards, with the bar
mirror background of the gay 90s;
wild West, where the wild West really
originated.
Fun for the kiddies as well as the
, grown-ups—pink lemonade, ferris
| wheels, merry-go-rounds. And Sally
Rand commits the sin of punning with
j her Nude Ranch.
: YYTHILE vacation bargainees think
up new ways to cut cost corners,
j members of the Adirondack Resorts
, Association are working on a plan to
halt price chiseling.
Here is* the view of the innkeeps. as
expressed by Thomas A. Leahy, presi
dent of the association:
“Hotel operators are entitled to a
fair charge for their services. How
ever, during the past few years a
highly dangerous situation has grown
up where certain people, taking ad
vantage of the general business situ
ation. have used sharp methods in
turning hotels into cut-throat prac
tices. Hotels with published minimum
rates have been known to cut them far
below even a cost basis to get pa
tronage.
“Hotels cannot endure under such
practices. A fair, honest operator
with established rates cannot com
pete with this undercover activity of
his competitors.’’
TV/fODERN aviation’^ magic carpet.
adding an angle of novelty to
American sightseeing, is becoming in
creasingly popular with visitors
abroad. Celestial views of Europe are
selling like hot cakes, according to
reports reaching America—with such
menus as breakfast in Egypt, luncheon
in Greece and dinner in Italy.
The old saying that one cannot see
the forest for the trees has particular
application to land and air travel.
Details! are smeared into one broad
panorama. The land traveler, if he
thinks about it, naturally would sus
pect a difference in bird’s-eye views
of England and France. Returning
visitors report the striking difference
in the countries just across the chan
nel are inescapable. The British Isles
landscape is a patchwork of postage
stamp fields, comers clipped. Roads
twist like serpentine ribbons. France's
: larger fields give the Impression of
| being laid out squarely with a ruler
j and compass, bright and green. The
! darker English scene gives the lm
| pression oi a highlighted picture- j
i puzzle. ’
And between the two countries lies j
; the channel a vaster field of irides
cent, pebbled leather.
CCRIBBLINGS: Except for char- j
^ coal grills', electric ranges do all
i the cooking on the Queen Mary,
j Paid admissions for the first week
j of the Dallas Exposition exceeded the ;
j first week of the 1933 Century of j
| Progress by 59,000. The figures: Dal
las, 231,000; Chicago, 172,000.
Extensive information for tourists
has been embodied in the new Paris
telephone book. Really it is two books.
\ with bright red covers.
The Shoshone Falls! of Idaho are
i 212 feet high and 1.500 feet wide. The
i two upper falls are designated Bridal
| Veil and Bride’s Maid. The Two
j Graces are in the center and to one
! side is the Sentinel.
Flags flying from hotels in Helsinki
I tell whether or not an American is
registered. The Stars and Stripes are
raised if he Is. And so with the Brit
ish, the Frenchmen and the Greeks.
The creator of "peach melba” Is
honored by a splendid tomb and a
monument near and in Grasse,
France. Auguste Escoffler invented
the delight as but a small contribution
to his great career as a chef.

THREE ARTISTS NAMED
Justice Department Panels to Be
Begun in Six Months.
The selection of three artists to
execute a series of panels in the De
partment of Justice Building, was an
nounced yesterday by the Treasury
Department.

of Portland, Oreg : Emil Bisttram of
Taos. N. Mex„ and Symeon Shimin of
New York City. Work on the murals
will begin in about six'months, fol
lowing the artists' completion of full
sized sketches of their proposed work.
The sketches, in turn must be ap
proved by an advisory committee.
Shrine Made Accessible.
SLEMISH. Ireland, June 27—A
newly constructed motor road opens
a neglected shrine of pilgrimage In
Ireland. Blemish, situated about
7 miles from Ballymena, is one
of the most venerated shrines in Ire
land. There Is perhaps no spot more
associated with the early life of St.
Patrick. It Is here on the rough
mountain slopes or in the land of the
valleys below that he spent six years
of slavery', herding the flocks of Mil
cho Mac Huanan, a prince of the ter
ritory of Dalaradia. It was here, also,
that the young shepherd found in
spiration and strength of belief for
his great mission. To reach the
mountain, the most direct course will
now be frome Ballymena and thence
I to the little village of Broughshane,
i where the motor road to the sum
mit will begin.
On the mountain top is St. Patrick's
, Chair, with a fine view of the sur
rounding country.
BLIND TO HAVE TRIP.
River Excursion on Steamer Po
tomac Is Planned.
The Friends of the Moment Blind
Society will entertain a group of blind
people on an excursion down the Po
tomac this week on the Steamer Poto
mac. Miss Angela Frances Small,
chairman of the organization, an^
nounced yesterday.
The date, to be set definitely later,
probably will be Thursday or Friday.
The boat will be furnished for the oc*
casion by courtesy of its captain. Miss
Small will be assisted by Miss Louise
Moore, Mrs. Ross Mclntire. Miss Ro
salie L. Small and Mrs. Walter Biount.
