the miners do more work. but that
their families were now living in much
more comfortable circumstances
The operators contend that the
miners are among the best paid work :

Service man attached to the Presi-
Dental party. He badly wanted a
couple of italian stamps which l was
fortunte enough to be able to give
him. I told him my tale of woe and
he gave me the Presidents itinerary
for the afternoon. The President was
then dining and would shortly go to
a room where he would make a short
address to the people of Turin, many
thousands of whom were waiting on
the Square outside. While waiting
in this small room I happened to pass
by the window and the crowd seeing
an American set up a great shout,
so for the first, last and only time 1
had taste of what it must be like to
be a great parsonage.
The President, accompanied by the
Cardinal of Turin, Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Margaret Wilson and number
of the Italian dignitaries came into
the room and the President and the
Cardinal advanced to the window
together. The President made a very
short speech to the rcowd below of

the last words, "Viva L Italia. That
was enough however, for they set up
a great shout which reminded me of
a baseball crowd at home, with three
on bases, nobody out and good

After the Cardinal had said few
words, all went to a beautiful recep-
ton room where the President was
presented with a handsomely en-
crossed copy of a resolution making
him an honorary citizen of Turin.
Some one read a speech of welcome
to the President, which was trans
lated to him in English. He replied

I was willing to try anything once,
