HARTz TALKS INTERESTINGLY
ON TRIP ABROAD.

John F. Hartz. head OF lIartz Surgi-
cal Supply Co, Broadway, has
Just returned TO Detroit, after a ten
weeks trip through the principal
European countries, including Italy.
Germany. Switzerland France and
England. Mrs. Hartz and the children.
who had preceded Mr.. Hartz abroad,
met him in Rome and together they
made the tour.
Mr.. Hartz was in Germany when
Count Zeppelin made his famous trip
in an airship at the request OF the en-
peror OF that country. the count be-
ing offered half million marks II he
were successful in his undertaking.
The count demonstrated the super
iority OF his machine and completed
his trip according TO program said
Mr. Hartz, in speaking OF the under
taking. 1T happened while | was in
Germany, and | was there when he
returned as far as Stuttgart, within
about two hours from the starting
place. A storm came up. disturbing
the ship and spilling some gasoline
which took fire. The count. with some
OF his intimate friends. passed through
Stuttgart in an automobile. He was
SO grieved over the destruction OF his
air ship that he wept like woman.
The city OF Stuttgart. by popular sub
scription. raised purse OF $4,000
marks in one day and presented II TO
him. This is but an instance of the
great interest the german people have
taken in aerial navigation and the
government will pay him the amount
promised Notwithstanding his trip was
not successful In military circles his
invention is considered wonderful.
The cry OF hard times is heard in
nearly every country We visited. this
being especially true In railway cir
cles. There are a great many people
out OF employment. but | do not think
the condition Is so very serious In
America. we hope that the financial
difficulties will be Strengthened ont
after election, but in Europe 1t will
take longer for these matters TO be
readjusted and prosperity return.
There is no doubt that the depression
here has, in a measure, at least, made
itself felt in the foreign countries.
Here, the political issue seems TO
be the reduction of the tariff. In
England there is an issue raised TO
establish tariff great many poll |
teal leaders there are not in favor
OF retaining free trade, but believe |
In q tariff. One could not help but
be impressed with the possibilities OF
Bryan's election, especially after read
ing the American edition Of the New
York Herald published in Paris"
After spending several weeks In
Rome and Florence. visiting the large
galleries. Mr.. Hartz and his party
went through Switzerland. While in
Rome he met DR. Florence Huson and
Miss Voss, OF Detroit. and these two
ladies had been received In audience
with the pope.
The most striking feature on our
trip was the amount OF attention given
TO mustaches in italy, Germany and
Switzerland" continued Mr. Hartz. I'm
these countries every one cultivates
long mustache, while with the
Partisan the aim seems to be some
what broader. and the men grow hair
all over their faces. In Italy and
France II IS now considered a rare |
form of beauty for women to raise a
mustache, and you see them in very
large proportions. One Will also no
tice hair growing out Of the ears. The |
ladies' also cultivate moles on their |
cheeks, and the hair is combined |
with that Of the mustache"
