What is claimed to be the smal- lest newspaper in the world, the "Bimini Bugle," has been launched in Bimini, Bahamas.

It consists of 16 pages, each

measuring 5 by 4 inches, with a covered coloured shrimp pink.

The small hand-press on which it is printed was given to the young Negro editor by a million- aire sportsman, on condition that the size and style of the paper should never be altered.

The name "appears 00 the front page in Gothic letters, and underneath is the announcement: "World's Smallest Newspaper. Covering Sports-news. Interviews and Personals.”

The "Bugle" is published fort- nightly. and includes personal Items, letters to the editor, adver- tisements, notices of church ser- vices and air services and a num-. ber of "jokes."

Dublin, Dec. 28. In his Christmas message to the- Irish people. President Eamon De Valera referred to the new Irish Constitution, which will come into- torce on December 28, as the harvest gained from a centary of sacrifice and as a liberation from obligations that had been imposed upon the Irish nation.

The Irish people, said Mr De Valera, now stood on the threshold: of a new

centuries era. It was since any generation of Irishmen had such possibilities as now be- longed to the present one.

The day on which the new Con- stitution came into force, when the Irish Free States would dis- appear and its place taken by "Eire," would be declared a national holiday.

In the new state, Mr. De Valera will bear the amcial title of Prime Minister. The name of the first President of Eire continues to re- main Mr. De Valera's secret- Trezinan Pacers
