Rebuilding Messina.

Now that Messina and Reggie are
being rebuilt, the Red Cross society OF
switzerland has started an interesting
experiment. 1t has sent to Sicily to
be used in rebuilding the towns sixty
chalets similar to those i'm use on the
Alps. They are Of two kinds. the one
destined for Messina having one up
per story, while the other, to be erect
ed in the country towns of Calabria,
are Of the bungalow type. 1t is hoped
that these wooden constructions will
better resist the earth shocks than
stone buildings, and in any case.
should they fan, the casualties would
he far fewer. Viewed from outside
the chalets, which are much admired

as those in the Alps, but the DISPOSE
