Oh Wonderful Horse

20, horse, you are wonderful
thing; no buttons to push, no horn
clutch to slip: no spark to miss. no
gears to strip: no license buying
every year, with plates to screw on
front and rear; no gas bills climbing
up each day; stealing the joy of life
away; no speed cops chugging in
your rear, yelling summons in your
ear.
Your inner tubes are all o. X,
and thank the Lord they stay that
way; your spark plugs never miss
and fuss; your motor never makes
us cuss. Your frame is good for
many mile; your body never
changes STYLE. Your wants are few
and easy met; you've something on
the autO vet"

Judue Towns Growth From Stores

There are many little straws to in
dictate what is happening ina town,
with regard to its growth and its
peoples average buying power. The
city directory, telephone book and
school census give a good idea of
each year of the rate of growth. And
the stores know how readily people
are parting with their money. To
get a line on spending tendencies, l
should rather have information from
a cigar store or a candy shop than
from a piano store. Each deals in
lllXuries, but the one selling small
articles will more nearly keep pace
from day to day with average peo-
pies average spending impulses

Ionrs Rows To "Horizon Blue

Marshal Joffre, four and nan
wears after the end of the World war
recently donned for the first time the
familiar "horizon blue" adopted Tor
the infantry after their first defeats
in 1914. which were attributed to the
conspicuous red trousers then worn,
Joffre stuck to the red trousers and
dark blue jacket. He is very uncom-
municative, and no one knows just
why he waited until now to discard
them. Intimate friends give as the
reason that he refrained from wear
ing the horizon blue during the war
because he felt it would have smack
ed of affectation for the head OF the
army to change the habitual color OF
his uniform to that worn by the RANK
and file, which was doing the hghtlns
and making the horizon blue popular
Marshal Petain began wearing the
horizon blue when he was general OF
a division and stuck to it. Marshal

Explanation OF Maritime Success
Much of the Italian success in pas
senger ships, however, has been
through an appeal much more primi-
tive. The Italian cuisine is noted
throughout Europe and Italy has sent
her greatest cooks to sea to add their
art to that of the other masters
aboard her ships.
Ancient things have in another way
conspired to help the Italian effort
upon the seas. No less a person than
Tutankahmen has had much to do
with this. Americans who were in-
terested in seeing the famous tomb
in the Valley of the Kings found that
they could make the best connections
at Naples, travelling thence on the
great liner Esperia, so luxurious asi
to be an anomaly in those waters
Americans are also selecting the di-
rect route to the Mediterranean. on
their way to the beauty and rest of
the Riviera. thus voyaging in calmer
seas and avoiding railway travel
| All this affords some explanation
of the growing maritime achieve
ments of Italy; of her transition in
the last decade from a country whose
chief interest for the rest of the
world lay in the art treasures of her
luminous past, to country, alert and
progressive, taking a notable place
upon the seas. ~

The artistic lounge of the Dailio, dec
GRATED in the period of Louis XIV.
BY JOHN y. CLARKE

! We are prone to think of Italy as
the artistic treasure-house of man
kind, beautiful as dream and, some
how, quite as unreal. The hard prob
lens of material and ugly civiliza-
ton front most of US. We are be-
come temperamentally suspicious of
beauty. We think of it as allied with
weakness. Yet the best definition of
beauty is, we believe, the perfect adj
justment of parts to the whole" and
surely this might also serve as very
good definition for strength.
Modern Italy is strong. Nowhere
is this strength more apparent than
upon the seas; not in naval arna-
ment, but in the growing importance
of her merchant and especially her
passenger feet. 1t is interesting to
note that her development of a great
passenger feet has taken quite a dit
ferent course from that OF other
great maritime nations. AS in naval
affairs, the race has been toward
greater and greater size, until to pos.
sess the largest ships has been chief
talking point of the competing ma
tons.
ltaly's Ne,o Policy
Up to a certain point Italy strove
Ior size. She built, and builds, very
large ships. But she has deliberately
switched her efforts to new dlrec-
ton. Her maritime engineers have
come to believe that comfort, luxury,
beauty of detail and artistic effect.
rather than mere size, represent the
enduring values. They have prophe-
sled this as the goal of the future
and foresee the time when the mons
tiers of the sea will be obsolete and
the standard of excellence will rest
with beauty, luxury and comfort.
"The Duilio," to be placed in the
American passenger service in No
vc,nber by the Navigazione Generate
ltaliana, is an example of this change
