Weird Spirits Guard Sunken Gold, Say Hunters
I HAVE been watching
the world's largest tin dredger biting its way through the bed of the sea towards a shipwrecked treasure of £2,000,000 in English gold, writes મા special correspondent of the Sunday Express.
When they came ashore at the end of their shift the wooden- ahoed dredger men told weird tales of guardian spirits that lurk about the Lutine's treasure chest to safeguard its contents. The treasure lles Rmong the rotting timbers at the English frigate Lutine which went down 130 years ago at English Corner, most trencherous spot on Holland's const.

The dredger men w afrald of sabelate. When my bout approached they waved me away and shouted, "Gd back, no admittance at all."
They are also afraid of publicity. They turned down flat the request of the B.B.C. and the Dutch Broadcasting Company when they wanted to report the progress of the dredging over the air.

By J. Edgar Hoover director of the so-called "G-Men," I can say that one
out of every 25 people of the U.S.A. have been finger-printed because of some infraction against the laws.
If every house in a city of more than four million were occupied by thieves, rogues, and murderers, it the trams and tubes were manned by kidnappers and patronised only by peopic with criminal records, it every restaurant, from the
