MARKETING IN ITALY
Housewives There Must Hunt
Through Town for Food.
Job Requires Seven Hours of Each
Day and Supplies Are Very
Scanty.

ROme.-Seven hours of each day of
the Italian housekeeper must be de-
voted to buying food. The problems
of the ordinary American housekeep-
er pale into insignificance even with
their troublesome servants when COM
pared to the Italian. Domestic serv-
ants strikes in Italy are chronic.

store to another. To obtain a piece
of meat usually takes two hours. To
obtain bread about an hour, eggs
two hours, vegetables, one hour and a
half and canned goods about an hour.
The housekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back of a long
line of waiting customers. The line

the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
chief. If she obtains what she wants
she Is lucky.
She treads over the streets a whole
morning, searching for the things for
lunch and then in the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. If
she is looking for butter she Is usually
thankful to go away with a can Of
American "bully beef"
1t often happens that her family
must miss a meal, but that is usually
overlooked. 1t Is too evident on ev-
cry hand.
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail-
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store, where the pro-
duce will be sold. When a carload of
eggs arrived the other day, women
to stores, while others ran alongside.
At the stores the clerks STOOD IN the
doorways and handed out the eggs,
three only to a customer. Some GUS

cans used to call them, have passed
and a housekeeper is lucky to have
a servant at all.

lieved there was little likelihood of an
eruption this summer and declared
they were certain there vas absolutely
no danger attached to the investiga-
ton. Katmai's last big "blowofT'' was
in June, 1912.
The party of twenty-six scientists is
headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs
of the University of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie institute. They
were planning to make observations
Of the botanical, biological and geo.
logical effects of the 1912 eruption.
In 1913 Professor Griggs headed a
party Of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that neal Katmai lay a great
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands of mouths vomiting gray
vapory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named "The Valley of
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead of
10000, 1t is said there are literally
millions of smoking vents.
Set Aside by Congress.
Congress recently set aside "The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property, and it is believed
that some day it will be "a second Vel
lowstone geyser field. Steaming
springs, it is said, will eventually take
the place of the present smoking
vents.
Professor Griggs and his party ex-
pected to remain ia the Katmai dis
trict until the middle of September.
Until they return nothing probably
will be heard from them, as there is
no direct means of communication.
Mrs. Griggs and her children accom-
panied the professor to Kodiak, an
island near Katmai, and will remain
there during the summer waiting for
him to return.
Moving pictures of the smoking
mountain and valley are to be brought
back by the party.
