From Charlevoix, Mich,

Like the immortal Nanki Poo,
disguised as a wandering minstrel"
Franz Rickaby, instructor in English
at the state university, has begun his
500 mile walk from Charlevoix.
Mich, to Grand Forks.
He is carrying no money. and his
baggage consists Of his violin and a
change of B. v. DIS. For his food
and lodging along the way he depends
on the music Of the violin having SUI
hcient charms to ''soothe the savage
oreast'' Of farmers. hotelkeepers. ETC..
in northern Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
He will receive as we'll as give

course of his travels he expects to
make a study of the folk songs" OF
the various communities through
which he passes.

Mr.. Rickaby left Charlevoix. where

way across the upper peninsula OF
Michigan. He expects to reach Grand

This trip of Mr.. Rickaby's has been
planned for several years past. but he
has been unable to attempt it until
he present time.
He believes that by a judicious use
of his trusty fiddle he will have no
difficulty in. earning his way as he
goes. and he is ambitious to claim the
honor Of being the first modern sue
cessor Of the medieval troubadors.
He also expects to accumulate a
valuable collection of folk songs IN
the trip, the results of which will
probably be published.

SHOES CAUSE OF
TROUBLE IN ITALY

Florence, Italy, Aug. 1S.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
If Dante Alighieri lived in Florence
today he might be inspired to- write
another INFERNO" with shoes as the
prime cause of evil. Nothing has been
so evident during these postwar days
as the need of Italians for footwear.
The recent public demonstrations
backed by the Camera del Lavoro, or
chambers of labor" where stocks of
goods Of all descriptions in the hands
OF profiteers in many cities were COM
Wandered and ordered sold at re-
duced prices, precipitated unusual
somecsaults of trade but the widest
scrambles were in the shoe stores.
Here the demand for shoes produced
scenes Of the widest disorder.
In Rome, Milan, Forli, Bologna and
Naples the search for shoes con-
tinued mans days. The struggles in
each city were SO great that few law
abiding persons tried to procure
shoes. There appeared to be no pre-
text for fitting anyone. Shoes were
handed out in boxes and the buyers
took them seemingly not caring
whether they fitted or not just SO
they were on the basis of a nifty per
cent reduction in price. 1T was =.
common sight to see a man loaded
up with shoes for his entire family.
To obtain admission to q shoe store
was fully as difncult as buying a
ticket for a, world series baseball
game. For hours. the shoe-hunters
would wait. in long. lines guarded by
soldiers and police before they were
finally, admitted into the storerooms.
! Shoe merchants nxed two hours in the
morning and two hours I'M the after
noon for the opening Of their stores
but the long line was waiting for
shoes several hours before the sched-
uled time arrived.
1mpatience on the part of the
crowds caused, in. most @cases, the
summary Selling Of goods and the re-
sort to ransacking. Food stores were
treated first in this way but the law
lessress Dor spread to clothing and
shoe shops. Stores rransacked would
be depleted of every commodity
eatable, wearable. o.. portable. There
were examples in spezia Of carrying
out all the. commodities. loading them
In a motor truck and taking them
some four Or five miles. outside the
city for distribution. Whole hogs
heads Of wine were rolled out Of the
city in this way and distributed.
It seemed as II the fmobs had des-
ignated for them the stores to be
looted. There fvere apparently the

University Gym" l.
Ransacked By Providers

Evidence that the university gym
nasium had been entered during the
summer and ransacked by providers.
were found yesterday by Paul Davis,
new athletic coach at the University
OF North Dakota, when he went to
the gymnasium to take stock of the
equipment. Not being familiar with
the equipment. he was not able to de-
termine whether anything had been
taken from the building, he said, but
evidences that things had been gone
over. were everywhere in sight.
1t was thought hat the same prov
lers who entered one Of the fraternity
houses some time ago and had things
2iled about the floors, ready to take
away, may have been the ones who
entered the gymnasium.
