Another Yankee Invasion

O INCE the beginning Of the war all the Italian
officers and many Of the men in the Italian
army carry fountain pens. The European
sources Of supply are necessarily limited and re-
stricted which condition has opened q big opportun-
ity for the American manufacturers whose only
competitors are the British.
Before the war the fountain pen market in
Italy was monopolized by the Germans, who held
this trade through very extensive and clever adj
vertising. One Of the best selling advertisements
being attractive and unusual plate glass show
eases which the manufacturers furnished the Italian
dealers in which TO display their fountain pens.
The present price Of fountain pens in Italy
now ranges from eighteen to twenty-five Ira,
(abOut 800 United States currency Due To their
small size they are easily shipped parcel post, wrap
ped in separate cardboard containers. The plain
ones are classed as common small wares and taxed
100 Ira per italian quintal, which is equal 20 two
hundred and twenty-onc pounds.
BY a recent commercial treaty between Italy
and the United States. the American product is
passed for eighty Ira per Italian %quintal, for the
plain ones, those decorated with either gold or
silver bringing a higher revenue.
While a iargc per cent Of the Italians speak
English, they naturally prefer their own language,
and all advertising copy, the descriptive literature,
the correspondence, ctc.. relative to the sale of foun-
tain pens in Italy is written in Italian. The prices
are also quoted in lird instead of the American form
Of exchange.

r-HE UNITED STATES Geological Survey. DE
par,mcnt OF the Interior, has surveyed and
signpostcd q great area of the most dangerous
desert region Of the United States. The Thirty-ninth
Annual Report Of the Topographic division of the
Survey. just made public, describes the desert safe
to the unwary traveller.
Pie region surveyed occupies about 10000
square miles in southern California aud outhwcst.
ern Arizona. In California il includes the southern
part of Death Valley and the region between this
valley and the Mexican border; in Arizona il in
cludes the region west of Tucson and Phoenix and
south OF Wickcnburg and Parker. This region
was selected because IL is the driest, hottest, ana
least explored part Of the desert region, and also
because of the ~srategic Importance Of obtaining
information on the water supplies along the 800
miles OF national frontier that it includes. The field
work was done by four parties. each of which con-
sisted of one geologist and ONE nontcchnical assist
ant QUILTED with an automobile and light camping
equipment. Practically all watering places in the
region were examined. about 160 samples of water
were collected and shipped to the water-resources
laboratory at Washington, ID. G., for analysis, and a
general exploration was made of the geography.
geology, and ~ground-water conditions OF the region.
The maps prepared and the data obtained were
made available TO the army engineers for lncorpora-
tion in the progressive military map of the United
States. Guides with maps are being prepared for
publication.
Signs directing travellers to water were erected
in l67 localities in California and l3s in Arizona.
The ~signposts are galvanized iron. 10 inches in
outside diameter and Il feet long. Each post is
anchored in the ground with two redwood blocks.
