MUST TRAVEL IN
. ITALY WITH A ROPE
Trunks Need to Be Tied and
Officially Sealed to
Insure Safety.

The following extracts from an ar
ticle in the Womans Home Com
panion explains why no one should
travel in Italy without rope:
Let me urge the tourist not to
fail TO provide himself with q stout
rope-a piece of clothesline is excel
lent-with which to tie up the trunk
which is to go into the Italian bag
gage car If you do not you may
miss many train connections. 1t is
a trick of the canny Italian baggage
master.
when you go to check or register
your trunk at the railway station this
crafty robber win try to stick his
finger under the lock or under the
straps at the sides. Then he viii
shrug his shoulders and tell you
blandly that he cannot accept the
trunk for registration, as it is not
fastened securely enough and If the
baggageman stole any of your eff
fects while en- route the railroad
would be responsible. The trunk
must be tied with rope and scaled,
he will tell you.
"You have no time to go about
rope hunting. You have to buy a
rope from him He charges you what
he thinks he can make you pay. The
price depends on how many minutes
you still have to catch your train.
Then he clips on a little leaden tag
where the rope is knotted, and your
trunk is officially sealed. It is a
very serious offense to break this seal.
Now, then, if your trunk is roped
when it reaches the hands of the boss
baggageman he is required at your
request and upon payment of two
cents, to affix the official seal

of Centre street at the southwest cor

in line with the general scheme of the
development of streets in that Sec

Touching upon the meadow develop
ment and the inspection trip made by
the board on Monday last, Commits
sioner Ryan said;
Il wish to offer my congratulations
TO the engineers and Commissioners
Biertuempfel, the chairman of the
committee, for their successful work.
/ am convinced from what | saw on
Monday that in two months the i'm
proVement in the meadow zone will
be something wonderful"
Commissioner Kraemer brought up
the question of getting sufficient
material for filling purposes in the
meadows. On motion of Commits
sioner Ryan, Commissioner Bier
tuempfel and Chief Engineer Sher-
rerd were requested to communicate
with the contractors to take up the
matter of furnishing suitable dump
ing material. Mr.. Sherrerd stated
that he had learned from inquiries
that on short hauls, east of the Penn
sylyania Railroad, contractors would
charge five and west of that line ten
cents per cubic yard for material, in
