Visited Ruins of Pompeii.
While in Naples we followed the
custom OF most tourists, visiting the
ruins OF Pompeu and Herculaneum
and enjoying the road round the
mountain. 1t Is somewhat like the
New York State road around Storm
King.
Speaking Of highways, I WAS in
formed that during the administrator
OF Premier Mussolini the entire road
system in Italy was rebuilt, and the
public roads compare favorably with
our own. although not as wide As
the recently constructed roads in the
United States. In addition they have
privately constructed toll roads. and

time they revert to the state.
All along the line on the sides q,

OF the rule of the Premier. as well
as extracts from many OF his public
speeches. For a long time I was
wondering what was the matter

wear black clothes with white gloves
and regulate traf1ic by the motion of
their hands. The white gloves against
the black background are easy to see
and take the place Of stop and 60
signals.
Surprised BY Cleanliness.
I was aStonished at the cleanliness
Of Naples and Rome. Their street
cleaners are efficient, especially in
Rome, where they are constantly
flushing the streets, and water is
very plentiful. In fact, fountains
with their strong flow Of water are
all over Rome.
Public improvements are apparent
on all sides. BY direction of the
Premier, square blocks OF houses are
being demolished to make a wide
entrance to st. Peters, and the new
stadium, called after Mussolini, is
built entirely Of marble, surrounded
by heroic statues symboliZing athletic
games Of all kinds. I was informed
that the Premier is very proud OF the

OTTAWA, June Sin boat yards
throughout the land the ring OF ham
mer on caulking iron and the sound
Of scraper on hull and spar prove two
things: That the vacation season draws
near; though this motorized age,
there are many who prefer water
ways to highways. According to the
Canadian Travel Bureau there are in
Canada many interesting and easily
accessible trips for the yachtsman
motor boat and outboard enthusiast
and canoeist. One of these routes is
the Trent Waterway which follows an
inland route between Lake Ontario
and Georgian Bay and avoids the
wide waters Of Lakes Ontario, Erie
and Huron.
The Trent Waterway is canalized
combination of the Trent River to
Rice Lake, Otanabee River through
Peterborough to Stoney Lake, then the
picturesque Kawartha Lake chain to
Lake Simcoe. on through Lake Couch
!: iching and down the rugged Severn
River to Georgian Bay The distance
: from lake to bay is 24O miles of which
only 20 miles are actual canal cut
tings.
Size Of Boats Limited.

pleted, there being dams and locks

navigate from Lake Ontario to Peter

Simcoe the limitation is 127-foot
length, 6-foot draught; from Swift
Rapids down to Georgian Bay tn.
Z limitation is 56-foot length, 131a-foot
beam and 4-foot draught.
The region through which the
waterway runs was once the haunt of
redmen, but now is a favorite play
ground OF the white man. Several
Indian reserves along the route are
of interest and native guides can be
had for fishing and other trips. The
huge lift lock at Peterborough anc
the smaller one at kirkfeld, the
floating bridge at Chemong Lake, his
torlcal associations, scenery and sport
the availa bility of supplies, all are in
d,cements which draw cruisers to the
sheltered waters OF the Trent system.

At this point want to observe that

places, dressed in their cassocks.
Railroad Service Improved.
Probably the greatest improvement
in Italy under Mussonni is the railroad
service. The trains between Naples
and Rome compare favcrably with
our own first-cla8 railroads and the
operation Is by electricity generated
from water power. The train We
came on rolled into the station in
Rome just on the minute. I am in
formed that only q few years ago
they were as much as one hour late
on q 2 hour and IS minute run.
Along the line OF the railroad we
passed through a farming section and
I noticed that very few farmers live
on the farm. Unlike our American
farmers. they live in nearby villages
and go to the farm to work Just as

One could write volumes about the

Is only baby. Many Of the Romano
cathedrals were instituted In the

what Is more, many Of them existed
in their present form long before
Columbus discovered America.
Thrill of Meeting Americans.
One of the real thrills comes from
meeting people from the United States.
1t makes one feel that the world is
not such big place after all. As we
entered the ruins OF Pompeii I was
approached by man who requested
me to pose for picture. Talking
to him, found that he lived at one
time in my old district on the lower
end Of Manhattan. At the American
college I saw students from all parts
Of the United States. and at the

Walking down the gangplank at
Naples, the scene looked to me like
my arrival in an American city during
my campaign for president. The first
words I heard that I understood
were Hello. AL" and they came from
a boy about II years old. I called
him to one side and found that he
lives in Boston and he said he came
to the dock to greet me.
Speaking about docks, we think we
have great ones in New York City.
They are nothing compared to the
dock at Naples where I landed. The
interior is built Of marble, even to the
flooring. The post Office, custom
house, telegraph and radio stations
are all in one building. The entrance
to the pier looks like the entrance to
one OF our modern public buildings.
Picturesque Sight.
got my first thrill looking at the
towns and villages built upon the
mountain sides. In New York we
spend millions of dollars blasting rock
and removing earth in order to bring
hills to the street level. In Italy
they build upon the hill and it makes
a very picturesque sight. A modern
hotel such as We have in New York
provides real comfort, and a large
contribution is made to that comfort
by the kindness and courtesy of all
connected with it. In fact, at this

Those who recall the Dodie
Smith play which had its Ameri.
can debut at the National Theater
last season with Philip Merivale
and Gladys Cooper in the star
roles will be interested to know
that the screen version retains
all of the human interest found
in the three-act drama. Authority
for this: Frank LaFalce who saw
it screened and predicted it will
be one of the greatest audience
pictures Of 1896.
The story, he says, Is very Brit
ish and very humorous. It's that
kind of humor that domestic
opinion seldom credits to the Eng
lish. It's not "muddle through"
stuff, comedy is bright, sparkling,
spontaneous. Take away the Brit
iSh atmosphere and the story
might have happened in any
American metropolitan neighbor-
hood or suburban town.
