ON TRIP ABROAD.

John F. Hartz, head OF Hartz surgi.
cal supply company. Broadway, has
just returned 10 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 1 was In
Germany. and | was there when he
returned as far az Stuttgart, within
about two hours from the starting
place. A storm came up, disturbing
the ship and splitting 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 a 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 out
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 liz an issue raised to
establish a tariff. A great many poll
teal leaders there are not in favor
OF retaining free trade, but believe
in a 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. "In
these countries every one cultivates
a 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 rare
form OF beauty for women TO raise
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."
