BRITISH AIRWAY PLANS
Southampton, Jan. 15, The regular trans-Atlantic air-service which is to be instituted after experimen- tal survey flights next year, is expected to consist of four journeys each way a week.
Sir Donald Banks, Director- General of the Post Office, made this statement when he landed; from the Cuuard-White Star liner -Aquitania, which docked 16 hours
Inte beenuse of the fog.
Cheap honeymoon trips to Rome, have been celebrated by 81,357 couples, official figures reveil.
These couples have arrived since July 29, 1932, when the so- called "Honeymoon Special" rall road concession of 80 per cent re- duction went into force. Of this number, there, were foreign con- ples from beyond the Italian fron- tlers including the United States.
The concession known as the "Honeymoon Special" is available to all Italian newlyweds who make application for the reduction with in five days after obtaining marriage certificate. Foreigners have 20 days in which to make application at the Italian Consul- afe nearest to their city of resi- dence.
The honeymoon reduction was conceived by Benito Mussolini in 1932 in order to encourage young couples to marry. In some needy cuses a subsidy was granted..
Sir Donald was accompanied by Lt. Col. Shelmerdine, Director- General of Civil Aviation. With Mr. G. E. Woods Humphreys, managing director of Imperial) Airways, they were parties to the agreement junt concluded in Washington between Great Bri tain, America, Canada and Irelan for the establishment of a trans- Atlantic air service.

"The Americane are very keen this trans-Atlantic service. President Roosevelt received us and expressed the greatest in- Jerest. But It must not thought that there is any question of an American and Great Britain monopoly of the service. The agreement is based on the prin- ciple of fuli reciprocity, and dues not preclude the possibility of similar arrangements between the United States and other countries. "Probably two routes will be used-the shorter North Atlantic route in the summer time and the. southern route by way of muda and the Azores during the winter."

ROMAN WHO WAS SENT TO INVESTIGATE
A Roman who was sent to 'In- vestigate financial irregolarities in the administration of Britain nearly 1,800 years ago has been con- nected with a large stone fragment, part of a funeral monument, which was recently found near the Tower of London.
The monument has proved to be that of Julius Classicanus, "an able and successful, civil servant," who was appointed in A.D. 01 to report on the miadeings of his predecessors in Britain, which had led, among other misfortunes, to the ruin and sacking of Roman London.
