THE SINGING CITY

Naples Is Place With Its Own
 Characteristics
 By day in Naples is tumultuous buzzing hornets nest. At night, when the moon fills the waters of the tranquil gulf with restless silver fish, and the islands and promontories stand out with faggy profiles against the great blue expanse, the. city is an eternal serenade.
 Here everyone sings. The best ex- ample of this is to be found at the street corners, which are occupied by vendors of musical compositions, some of them printed, but the greater part in manuscript, which are suspended from threads on the walls. The fat old crones who haggle along the winding alleys, their baskets filled with vege- tables the elaborately arrayed servant girls; the wenches with their fierce faces and their floating percale skirts, and the young braves, their microscopic felt hats thrust over one ear, and wear ing enormous red cravats, hurl them selves upon this musical fodder labeled with "Tu m ami" or "Tu no m ami piu," or "Dormi, mia bella."
 Here even the itinerant vender is musical, and all the members of the ragged tribe, as they hawk their mer- chandise through the streets, do so with veritable romances, some so original and beautiful that many of them might well be used as the leitmotif of modern operas.
 No other city offers such an appear ance at night as Naples. The crowd masses together and shOves along the sidewalks of Toledo street, around the bands of singers and musicians intoning impassioned serenades. From every osterio or trattoria issues a feminine voice warbling the most recent popular song.
 The impressarios of opera would do little business here. No theaters offer what can be found gratuitously on the streets of Naples, where at night even the stone posts seem to sing. Time passes unheeded while the visitor wan ders from one chorus to another, leaving an orchestra to listen to street tenor, and when at last weariness compels the great piazzas he sees above the roofs, piercing the luminous sky, a broad-pointed black blotch, with rose colored cloud floating about its summit.
 That is Vesuvious.

Road Bandits Operate Now


"A warning against hold-ups of
motorists is seasonable at this
time with hundreds Of mixers and
others purporting to be mixers
looking for lifts along Badger
highways, says Brownie, automo-
bile editor of the Milwaukee Jour.
nal.
1t is very well to play the part
OF the good Samaritan and give
every Tom, Dick and Harriet Won
meet on the road free ride but
some day if you do not pick your
intended companions carefully YOU
are apt to find yourself out any
thing from wallet, a diamond
stlckpn or watch to a reputa-
ton.
1t is not only the lone man or
girl who waves hand as thew
stand beside the road that is an
element of possible financial all
ment but be sure that the man
standing beside the stalled car is
legitimate motorist legitimately
stranded.
Road bandits often resort to this
method of 'betraying their intend
ed victim into their hands. Sew
eral instances in Wisconsin and
Upper Michigan are already re-
ported of this. One instance con-
cerned a Milwaukee salesman who
was composed to compassion by
the apparent plight of a carload
of gypsies. Never again" he
says. 4 lost everything but the
gold in my teeth"
Oftentimes when the obliginp
motorist stops he is relieved of
his vaulables and told to- stand
still and behave nicely while the
erstwhile "motorist" in distress
boards either his own or his vic
TINS machine and drives off. Re-
member-the motorist who is real
ly stranded will show signs of hav-
ing worked on his car. Lay off the
chap who is neatly dressed and who
calmly smokes a cigarette he
might insist on a trade in cars
with lot of your valuables to
boot.

Asks Uniform Traffic Laws.

Uniform laws in regard to auto
mobile lights uniform rules of the
road, and a uniform gasoline tax
will be urged by Fred r. thinner
man, Secretary of State at the
Conference of Automobile Admin
lstrators of the Middle Western
States, which meets at Des Moines
this week. Mr. Zimmerman will
preside at the conference.
The complexity of the auto
laws in different states is most
confusing and in many cases the
motorist is subject to injustice
through conflicting statutes" Sec
rotary Zimmerman said. Heads
of auto licensing departments
have organized to meet and dis
cuss motor law changes designed
to eliminate conflict. Our func-
ton is, of course, only advisory,
but members of the conference are
expected to make recommendations
to their legislatures.
Under the present laws, motor
lists driving at night in Illinois are
required to dim headlights. When
the car crosses the state line, Wis
consln says not to dim the lights.
A difference Of opinion exists as
to whether the bright lights or
dim lights are safer, but it is GER
tain that dangerous conditions re-
suit when some motorists driving
on a highway follow one rule and
some another
The rules of the road in differ
ent states are also conflicting. In
Wisconsin, the driver at the right
has the right Of way and the ma
chine at his left is commanded to
wait until he has passed. Such
a rule ought to be uniform
throughout the country.
A uniform gasoline tax will be
advocated. At this time thirty
SIX states have a gasoline tax. Ex-
perience already has proved that
this is just and equitable and that
1t is not a sales tax.

JUST FISH STORIES

Fish have been laying off the
past week, or else the guys who
have caught the big fellows are
too darn lazy to chronicle their
catch. Anyhow, the fish should
have vacation of few days in
order to recuperate from the slam
bang hustle they have been in for
many weeks past.
E. V. Orvis, an attorney from
Waukegan, Illinois, gathered in a
5172 inch musky last week out of
Twin lakes. The fish was rather
thin and weighed in at 80 pounds.
This fish was Of the tiger muskel-
lunge variety and a beautiful spec
linen. Mr. Orvis had the time of
his life on this outing trip in the
Big Woods. Besides his musky he
landed a mighty fine string of
walleyes. His 12-year old daugh-
ter Helen captured on walleye that
weighed nine pounds flat. This
sportsman believes the. old adage:
the fish bite when they want to,
and to heck with the guy when
they don't want to. At that he
claims man is the better sport
who doesn't care for a big catch
each day. He's right.
