somebody was selling some
thing. Here an old lady with

man with some sickly bananas.
Hardly room to move, everybody
talking away at prolific rate.
Poor people, all of them.
Their clothes are far from the
best and they have no knowl-
edge of the meaning of luxury.
They live in crowded quarters
and actual comfort, such as We
enjoy, must be unknown to
them. Yet the expressions on
their faces amazed me. They
all seemed extremely happy. I
haven't seen an American bank
president in years who looked
half as joyous as the poorest
Genoese.
Compared to ours, the cost of
living here sounds almost alb
surd. In the better sections of
the city an attractive house can
be rented for $140 a year-and
that's a high price. What the

Ailing Wife

AiIing Wife
Ernest tells me he has a sick
wife who has been ailing for
some time. He hasn't told me
once; he's told me 10 times.
And as the time grows nearer
for me to tip him, his poor wife
seems to get sicker and sicker.
I'm very much afraid that If
my tip does not come up to
his expectations, the dear lady
will die by telepathy.
Except for the hotel clerks,
there are but few people around
here who speak English. SO I
left everything to Ernest. 1t
was he who ordered the car
that was to take me around
Genoa until I left the city.
The machine was a huge Fiat,
and the driver was a thin, little
man named Angelo.
Off we went, at Angeles Sug.
gestion, to visit the house in
which Christopher Columbus
was born. That's probably the
starting point for every tourist
who ever arrived here. But, as
Jimmy Durante says, I was in
no mood to dicker. So thither
! we drove.
l. regret to report that the
house where Chris first cried
for his bottle did not interest me
at all. It was exactly the same
as any other house in the neigh
borhood, and they refuse to give
you a glimpse of the interior.
The guide could have told me
that Winchell was born there,
and wouln't have known the
difference.
A block or so away, however,
7 found myself in a highly in
teresting section of the town.
Ernest tagged along. And after
urging me to beware of pick
pockets-he didn't know I had
covered Broadway for years
he informed me that I was in
the poorest part of Genoa. 1t
might have been all of that,
but it was doggone interesting.

what I want. Tell him to 60
ahead. And let him step on it,"
The guide spoke to the chauf-
feur in Italian. Angelo nodded
and away we went. And thus
began one Of the StrangeSt ex-
periences I have ever encoun'
tered.
Angelo Drives
Angelo drove-and how he
drove! In far less time than
it takes me to tell you about
it, the man was at the foot
of a mountain road. He missed
bicycles by inches and pedes-
trians by the half-inch. My
heart was in my throat.
Tell him." I cried. Ito take
it easy. want to go around
this world; not under it,"
Ernest was totally unmoved.
DO not worry" he replied
calmly. I'VE have good drivers
here. They permit no acci-
dents"
sank back in the car and
tried to close my eyes. No use.
The machine was climbing the
mountain at a terrific pace. The
road was fairly good, but it
was extremely narrow and there
was no protection of any kind.
The turns were so sharp that
the car never made them on
four wheels. One false move or
the blowing of a tire would
have tumbled us a couple Of
thousand feet without the
slightest difficulty.
There was no end to this
thing. I'll swear I would have
felt far safer in a falling para
chute. Up and up and UP we
went. Finally, after one par
ticularly bad turn, I could
stand it no longer. I was so
nervous that I forgot myself
and spoke. in English to the
chauffeur.
For Gods sake" I yelled,
"why don't you slow down?
I'm telling you to cut this
out!"
Angelo decreased his speed a
trifle. He turned half way
around. There was a disguised
look upon his face.
why don't you stop worry
ing, buddy?" he cried. "You
got nothin' to be nervous about.
I used to drive a cab in Brook
lyn!"
That ended my sightseeing
for the day. I slipped Angelo a
few vivid pointers in our own
language and ordered him to
drive me back to this hotel. I
had my dinner and then tried
to get a decent sleep for my
self.

Worthwhile Legislation

4 worthwhile measure urged in many sections Of
~ the state is the reduction Of membership of the
state house and senate in the interest of effic-
ency and economy.
Any voter who has served on a committee knows
that invariably the work Of that committee falls upon
few who are capable and willing to shoulder the
responsibility. The other members shoulder only the
glory for it's accomplishments.
The proposal is to elect who will take part
in the affairs of state and leave the followers" at
home. Naturally such measure is almost hopelessly
lost when its enactment requires vote of the body
whose membership it proposes to cut.
The economy Of the suggestion is evident. First
it reduces the number the payroll by voters choice;
second it reduces the number of appontees of these
men for both real or doubtful services third might
be possible to elect group of men who would
accomplish something during the early weeks of the
session so that could be shortened to further
the state money.
In line with other low commodity prices, seats in
the Senate will come cheaper this year.
