Rome Letter
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Stan Correspondent

Rome-(UP) = An ancient Ro- was in use before the Via Appia built will be re-opened within q few months, the. government re- gently announced. The road was and only fell into disuse and was abandoned when stage-coaches went out of existence.
 of great historical importance since 1t originally led from Cas- tromonium, the modern Marine, to Ferentinae, meeting place of the Latin league, after the destruc- tion of Alba. was situated. Rebuilding Nearly Completed. Its re-opening was decided and planned by the Provincial Admin istration of Rome and will involve
 an expenditure of four million lire. Most of it is now being rebuilt
 and extensive engineering works are required.
 Traces of this road survived the
 wear and tear of centuries, but
 most of it had disappeared. It
 was covered by trees and dense
 undergrowth above the lakes of
 Albano and Nemi. On open ground
 the road was replaced by cattle l paths.
 The original road, in the times of the Romans, after crossing the forests on the hills above the lakes,
 reached the Volscian town of Velitrae, the modern Velletri. It
 was connected with the Via Triumphalis which led to the sum-
 init of Monte Cayo-the Alban
 mountain of where the temple of
 Jupiter Latiaris was situated. Mountain For. Sacrifices. It will be recalled that it was on
 this mountain that the victorious
 Roman generals went to offer sa- crifices after their triumphs. l Like many other Roman roads.

 afforded a short cut for the stage coaches between Rome and Naples land was preferred to the Appian I Way. It was known as the "cor-
 riera di Napoli," or Naples high
 road, although, as a matte of
 fact, it was only a small portion
 of that highway and not longer
 than eleven miles

MATRIMoNY
By Jo Kerr


 Matrimony has been described in What's What" as the test of man. and-woman's endurance of fer mented bliss.
 When you speak of matrimony you refer to an adventure of two daring souls. a connubial scrim- mage. or an advertising scheme.
 There have been instances where couple in the presence of wit nesses have been properly fettered, and endured the agony all their lives.
 Such martyrdom is no longer necessary. When two fond souls are seized with vague unrest, hand X in hand, in mutual joy, they hike to the nearest manacle breaker and have the unrest quickly put to rest. This method is now so popular it is almost impossible to satisfy the demands of unrest by ordinary means.
 And the efficient Brain Trust de- clares that aching hearts can now be pulled apart by electricity. Just one flash and love is smashed. Tn the future, to prevent misap- | plication of the untried heart, an examination will be required to show whether they can stand mar itai rigqrs. or like turtle doves cud- de up on the same pillow.

other productive means, to feed, clothe, and house themselves. The hundreds of millions of dol lars now being spent for this purpose would be diverted from private industry and trade.
 The inevitable result of this, of course, would be to create more unemployed, who in turn would join EPIC resulting in still further loss to industry, and so on and on until the whole industrial structure would SC bankrupt.
 Ohio's plan avoids this des- tructive circle.
 It does not insulate the unem- ployed in a separate economy. Under the Buckeye formula money spent for relief is not af- fected by what the unemployed produce.
 The dozen idle factories leased by the state, and manned by un- employed, produce certain goods and edibles which are used to cupPlCluSAt tHS ISAlCl SAtCHuCu to the workless. Cash relief re- mains the same.
 Furthermore, the state is url- der specific pledge that if fac tory can be returned to profit able private manufacture, 1t. is given back. Also. if a leased fac- tory worker declines a job from a private employer, he is dis charged from the state-operated plant.

Selected Poem
DREAM BOAT PASSENGER

(dazie V. Caruthers in The New York Times) Little boat with dark orange sails Skimmng over the twilight sea- Purple and mauve in the growing dusk Ship me aboard your passenger Over the darkling rim of the world! Half moon hangs in the hollow air The first faint star appears in the blue, Carry me far!
 Let your orange wings Lift to the breeze, till we slowly drift Into the Land of Nod--for there Slumber awaits
 And. if in my sleep Frightening nightmares harass and fret, Dakku eater of dreams, will sit Close by my bed and feed such dreams, So may rest until the day break Then, on the azure waves of the dawn, N over the rim of aking world I shall return to the Land of Here, And thew orkaday cares of busy life Carrying still in my tranquil heart The drowsy calm of the sea of dreams, And the quiet born of long nights sleep!

Press Comment
END OF YELLOW IN CONN. co.
(New Britain Heraid)

The Connecticut Company appar- ently has arrived at an important decision, one which in time will eliminate the characteristic yellow pant from its transportation equp- ment. The company is going blue.
 All coaches In service will be re- painted blue, with aluminium metal parts and gold lettering. This IS supposed to be more artistic than the yellow heretofore in force.
 How much of an improvement this Is to be cannot be foretoid. Yellow has the very finest visibility and some years ago when change of color was considered by the Boston elevated yellow was sug- gested because of its superior yis- ibility day and night. The Inter borough in New York chose yel- low for the Sixth avenue T. line because of its pleasing appear ance.
 But the Connecticut Company drops yellow in favor of blue for artistic reasons. There is risk of making mistake, and at any rate the state will not appear the same with the yellow kids missing.

Turkey prices will be lower at Thanks giving than they have been in quite some few years, so dealers are reporting. And the state has nice flock of 48,000 birds all ready for the market. That's good news to be sure. We'd like to see Connec- ticut come to the fore as producer of much poultry. We're surprised that ef- forts haven't been made before this to capitalize on the excellent opportunity to make Connecticut the foremost of the eastern states in production of turkeys, chickens, ducks, and other fowl that find a place on the market list.

Derek, in leaving life, ,/had justified himself. He had refused to make a compromise. He had loved Lila truly and deeply. Whether she would be able to build new happi ness on the ashes of his dead love remained to be seen.
 What q punishment for her." Gypsy had murmured in pity. She had forgotten her own trouble, con sidering this. And she had wept in the night, longing for Tom to. talk to, to, comfort her.
 Hunt had stopped by for a mo- ment the night before. He had said, in a low tone, Rotten luck for him, Rotten luck for us all"
 Gypsy had looked at him quickly and proudly. You can deny you were there if your name comes into it. No one need know :"
 He had the grace to be ashamed. "What about you?"
 She had shrugged her shoulders. "It doesn't matter about me-
 Plainly he didn't want Sue to know he had attended Lila's fate full party, no matter how innocent his part in the nights affair might have been. Sue had confided to Gypsy only Monday that Hunt was his old, sweet self to her these days.
 II think something happened he's utterly changed" Sue had said softly. He says he never knew anyone so-so untouched and in- corruptible as I am. Did you ever?' And Eues sweet laughter had rung out. Gypsy's lips had twisted them selves into a smile, but he implied comparison had stabbed her. Hunt, playing around with gay crowd, had liked it all well enough until danger threatened. Now he had rushed to the safety and innocence of Sues single-minded devotion.
 But he'll be very good husband for her." Gypsy thought wistfully.
 She wouldn't be calling Tom to- day, she told herself proudly, if it weren't for this complication caus- ed by Derek's death. Why, only an hour ago a tabloid reporter had telephoned and asked her all sorts of questions. What was she to do or say? She needed Toms advice, his help.
 She halted for an irresolute mo- ment at the drugstore and then went on. No, she would not call Tom; better still, she would send him a telegram.
 Need your advice something inn portant let me hear from you" She signed it Gypsy"
 She waited until night in fever of impatience. Well, the answer would come in the morning, she told herself. Every car along the street. every boy on bicycle, brought her heart into her mouth.
 Meantime, in town, a tall blond young man carrying briefcase rushed into a glassed-in compart- ment. The neat secreary at the desk looked up.
 "Oh, Mir Weaver. We didn't ex- pact you back until tomorrow. "I know. 1 cut it short. Finished earlier than l had expected. Any m messages ?"
 She gave him a neat heap of mail and he ran over it quickly.
 "No telephone messages, mean 2"
 T haven't taken any. Miss Gray has been using your desk :"
 "Ah." The secretary looked up quickly. The monosyllable had a decided sound of annoyance. All ready he was out of the door sprintlng down the length of the office. She saw him bending over Very Grays desk, in dumb show saw the colloquy. The blond waved head above the blue frock was shaken in a negative gesture. The neat secretary was inter- csted.
