tics collected and published by Professor
Bodil, who furnishes authentic figures
covering the entire Italian monarchy,
there are among the 1924 communities
Of Italy l, 454 which have water of bad
quality or in insufficient quantity. More
than onc-half Of all the communities,

The conditions Of homes are also very
bad III Italy, as in 10 other country Of
Europe are there SO many people living
in cellars or Easements. In 37,203 tene-
ments situated below ground more than
100, 900 Italians live, eat and sleep

provinces.
In 4, 965 communities Of Italy meat is

Shirt Waist Collars.

The scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy
thought Of somebody, and the quick
popularity Of this style Of waist attests
its general favor One waist will easily
retain its freshness to wear through two
collars, now that the shirt waist is
such only in name and does not neces-
sarily mean bodice with shirt front.
Some dressmakers also make up the
stylish shepherds plaid silk waists to
be worn with linen collars-white lin

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Greenland boys are great egg collect

birds that nest in the far north appear
in the spring the work begins. No boy
who has not practiced a great deal at
climbing the rough mountain sides and
creeping over the glaciers is allowed to
venture on the perilous task. But at Is,
and even before, a Greenland boy Is as
strong of limb, as fearless Of heart, and
as cool of head as any steeple-climb
Early some morning he takes a bag
made of sealskin and with a lunch OF
dried fish or blubber he starts out for
a day in the mountains. Up, up he climbs
along the dizzy edge of some deep inlet
of the sea, until he comes to the rocky
ridges where the gulls make their homes.
An ordinary American boy-and some Of
would not dream that the steep noun
tain sides could possibly be crossed but
the Greenland boy knows just where to
step, just how to hold his stout staff,
and he will walk quite coolly along a
jagged ridge hundreds Of feet above the
water, where one little misstep, a loose
stone, or a bit Of crumDling ice would

find the nests he seeks. Here every crew
ice Is filled with eggs, laid almost with
out protection on the rocks. As he APP

circling round his head He must not look
at them lest he become dizzy. When he
reaches a nest he places the big blue
and white eggs in his bag and thus he
proceeds until he has a load. Happy Is
he If he sees a falcon rising on the air
among the gulls, for a falcons eggs arc
