ITALY's TOURIST TRADE GONE
Nation Is Called Upon to Provide for
Loss Of Receipts From
Hotel Patrons.

The tourist trade as source of
national income and as a substitute for
taxation is of enormous value to Italy,
says the Nuova Antologia, Rome In
deed, as a means of settling interna-
tional obligations, it is almost indis-
pensable for our land Hence, nothing
could be more unreasonable than to
let the hotel business become demor-
allied, as upon it will rest the task of
reviving the tourist trade.
This led us to propose a year ago
that payment of the rental charge OF
hotels should be postponed, proposal
that was only adopted in part, pay
ment for half of these rentals being
adjourned until the end of the war,
interest at the rate of 5 per cent a
year to be charged in the meanwhile
Now. however, in view of the pro.
longation of the war, 1t becomes nee.
essary to make similar provisions for
the remaining half of the rent. If
we are unwilling to allow the manager
of a hotel to pay his entire rent in
promissory notes or other instruments
of credit, a special fund should be es-
tablished, if necessary. with state aid
to finance that half of the rent hotel
keepers are now required to pay while
the war lasts.

EXPERT PROOF IS EXPENSIVE
Street Railway In Massachusetts Pays
Experts Large Sum to
Boost Fares.

The Bay State Street railway has
paid about $4,000 to date for the val
uation report on which the road bases
its plea for six-cent fares. and the val
uation expert is still drawing $50 a
day for testifying before the public
service commission, 1t has developed
during the continued cross-examina-
tion of Robert NJ. Feustel, the $5O-a-
day expert, himself, remarks the Bos-
ton Post
Thus, il the road wins it's plea, it
will have to collect 100000 six-cent
fares from patrons in the eighty-odd
cities and towns which it serves to
secure an amount equal to the experts
fees.
And If the Bay State company should
lose it's plea, it will require 100000
nickel fares to make up the amount
it has paid the expert for preparing a
valuation report on which the road re-
lies to prove its claim that five-cent
fare does not provide enough revenue
by $1,615,16 a year, the sum which
Feustel estimates is needed and which
he says six-cent fare would provide.

TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE
Lady Psychologist Has q Word to Say
as to the Necessary Training
Of Husband.

That the husband should be trained
and not broken is the firm belief OF
Miss Anna List, the celebrated lady
psychologist, who vows she will never
marry while in love. Doctor List has
collected extensive data in regard to
the establishing of dominant person
alities in the home. Most of the facts
she has obtained at first hand from
the undisputed possessors Of dominant
personalities themselves.
"The husband" says Anna List, "in
common with other beasts Of burden,
should be handled very gently at first.
lie should be taught one, and only one,
thing at time. He should become
we'll accustomed to harness before be-
ing urged violently to the accomplish
ment of the severer menial tasks Of
the household.
MANY wives ruin an otherwise sem
to break his spirit too soon. In the un-
domesticated state the inexperienced
husband is naturally sportive/ and lib
erty loving, and his instincts all tend
to make him refractory and antagon-
istic toward female supervision. At
tempts at justifiable coercion are, in
the early stages Of matrimony, almost
sure to be met with vicious stubborn
ness that is much more likely to grow
than to diminish.
"A wise mixture of cajolery. coax
ing, contempt, independence and per-
sistent firmness seems to secure the
best results in training a husband.
Young wives should proceed slowly.
They should study the temperaments
of the men whose natures they have
chosen to exploit. Firmness and per-
sistence are sure to be crowned with
uccess."-Judge.

Steamer VS., Motor.

The economies obtained in the oper-
alton of motorship as compared to q
steamer are almost unbelievable, due
to the fact that there are no large
boilers or stokeholds in the former
and because the consumption Of oil
fuel is only one-tifth of that of a coal,
or oil, fired steamer. so the bunker
and boiler spaces thus saved can be
given over to extra cargo. With a
tramp steamer OF 10000 tons about
600 tons of extra cargo can be carried
