they are racing each other across the
beach to take a cooling plunge in the
sea.
The beach is deserted. The fishing
fleet is far away. One can just make
it out, like n number of gray specks
clustered together in the distance, way
down by the horizon. Only one boat,
small rowboat, Is left, drawn half
way up on the beach. A child, play
ing alone on the sand, climbs into the
boat, rushing back and forth. giving
orders to the crew with which his quick
imagination has peopled his craft.
The tide has turned. Slowly and
stealthily it rises. The boat is foated

load. already far from the shore, headed
for the open sea. Screaming, she

seems almost to bring to their cars his
feeble cry for help. But what can be
done to save him? No boat of any
description is left.

ROME, Jan. 16--The italian middle
classes, whose incomes remain substan-
tally what they we're before the war
are angrily resisting what they de-
nounce as the outrageous prices Tor
necessities exacted by profiteers." The
scenes Of Indignation which occur In
some of the stores of Rome show the

One man who was asked the equiva-
lent of s64 for a pair of shoes told the
shopkeeper: Burglars who enter your
house and rob are not the only holdup
men In this town. You come in the same
category" Another man when asked
the equivalent of $40 for hat told the
shopkeeper that he was the manufact-
urer of the hat and had sold 1t to the
dealer for $40. He called the retailer
"a robber."
Lately the shopkeepers have been
compelled to mark the prices in plain
figures on every article in the shop

tant prices. The only effect apparently
