The Travellers Notebook
In Which Guest Writes Again, After an Absence
of a Year, to Tell Of Vatican City and
Its 10th Anniversary

is used in the Library of Congress,
the University of Michigan Library
and the New York Public Library?"
The answer to this question deter
mined the stacks for Vatican City.
AS every tourist knows, the art of
the ages is in the new papal state.
The value of its treasurers cannot
be computed in money. They are
literally priceless. for if the orthodox
replacement value were used as a de-
termining factor it would be mean
ingless. All the money IN the world
could not replace the vast collection.
At the signing of the pact 10 years
ago the Pope said: The new state
has tiny territory but it is the
greatest in the world because it con-
tains Bernini's colonnades, Michel
angeles dome and the tomb of the
Prince of the Apostles" He could
have added the greatest works of
art before which thousands of tour
lists marvel every year, the LAGOON,
the tapestries of Raphael, the Bel
vedere Apollo, and the work of the
worlds greatest painters who came
to the Vatican to embellish it with
work never since matched. The
frescoes in the papal state apart
ments are excelled in point of imag-
ination and craftsmanship by moth
ing else that Raphael did. What
money could replace the work of
Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel?
"
Not only is Vatican City the only
state in the world that one may walk
around in half an hour, but it Is
unique in its appeal to travellers.
They go from the ends of the earth.
No language under heaven but it
has been spoken by visitors to this
place. In the same throng that
gazes with you at the work of the
Renaissance masters will be man
from New Zealand, nearby another
from the South African Veldt. An
Indian from Oklahoma will find
himself standing beside a dark
skinned brother from Ethiopia, and
as for the Orient there is hardly a
day passes but you will see Japa-
nese and Chinese students vending
their way along the streets of the
Eternal City to wonder at and es-
TEEN the glories of Vatican City.
Easter is now only a few, weeks
away and Vatican City is already
planning for its greatest annual
pageant-the solemn Holy Week
ceremonies and the joyful Easter
services. Easter is Rome at its best
and the best in Rome at Easter is
the little holy land of just over a
hundred acres, where thousands will
come again as they have come be-
fore to witness what cannot be seen
anywhere else on earth.

Florida Visitors Find
Havana Trip Easy

MIAMI. Jan. 28-Like next-door
neighbors in a great city. Havana
and Florida have lived side by side
for years, but have taken long
time to get thoroughly acquainted
Havana in the past has drawn
most of its travellers from cruise
ships and regular steamers sailing
from New York Now winter visitors
to Florida, according to the records
of air lines and steamer services, are
realizing more and more the at
traction of visiting that Latin Amer
lean capital on their southern va
cation.
One travel agency reports special
tours to Havana from Miami and
st. Petersburg has increased more
than ITO per cent.
Few things, Malcolm finds, tempt
the average American more than
the chance to visit foreign coun-
try; that fact, plus Havanas easy
accessibility by steamer and by
plane, is in large part responsible
for the travel increase. AS mat
ter of fact, it is entirely practical
to visit Havana in a tour of a single
day from Miami.

Mardi Gras 10 Open
Series Of Attractions
In New Orleans
Famed Carnival to Be
Held Feb. 1871; Trail
To Bloom in March

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. o.
With all signs pointing to the great
est Mardi Gras celebration, Febru-
ary 1921, in the history of New Or
leans, the city is planning addi-
tional features for the benefit of
the thousands of visitors.
Latest carnival wrinkle is the an
nouncement by city officials that
famed Canal street, focal gathering
point of the Mardi Gras throngs,
will be decorated more extensively
than ever before with the tall
light standards made to simulate
palm trees. In addition, at the
head of Canal street, near the river,
the giant figure of a harlequin will
be erected to greet visitors as they
first step on New Orleans soil.
The shafts of the light standards
are to be covered with a mating
resembling the trunks of the palms
and the fronds are to be distributed
about the globes.
The Avenue of Palms" will go up
the Monday before carnival week
and will remain there until after
Mardi Gras.
Floral Trail to Bloom.
Boulevards planted with camellias,
spirea, crepe myrtle and featuring
magnificent display of flaming
azaleas, in a background of stately
and ancient oaks, comprise the
New Orleans Floral Trail which
is expected to be in bloom about q
month after Mardi Gras.
The Floral Trail, which was
brought into being few years ago
is SIS miles long. Thousands OF
Towering shrubs have been laid
along the route and it is said tc
be the largest thoroughfare plant
ing ever projected in the United
States
Private citizens have enhanced
the beauty of the trail by increasing
the effectiveness of their lawns and
gardens. Residential planting along
the trail presents a dazzling array
of multi i-colored blossoms, includ
ing the many hundreds of flowers
and shrubs for which New Orleans
is famed the world over.
Azaleas, particularly, add bril-
lance to the Floral Trail because OF
their rich and varied colors, COM
prising all shades from deep GRIM
son to pink and white. The pro-
fusion of the blossoms is so great
that the leaves are entirely hidden
and the flowers appear a solid mass
of exquisite color
Homes Added to Tour
Several historic structures of the
VieuX Care and the Garden Dis
trict have been added to the home
tours, special tour of St. Tammany
Parish Colonial homes has been
arranged, and a larger, more elab-
crate flower show and floral parade
planned to make the 1899 spring
fiesta in New Orleans, March 1919
the finest in its history.
AS in the past, the high light OF
the fiesta will be the numerous
arranged tours of some of the finest
old homes and plantation houses
in New Orleans and the nearby
sugar country permitting the 5000
visitors that are expected for the
celebration to secure first-hand
knowledge of the mode of living in
the Colonial and ante-bellum days
Other features of varied interest
will be several cultural events such
as the presentation of the opera
"Manon" by the School of Music of
Louisiana State University, an out
door art exhibit in the heart of the
picturesque French Quarter and
concerts of various kinds, including
the singing of spirituals by students
of Dillard University.

BY EDWIN ROBERT PETRE,
Director Institute Of Foreign Travel.

Vatican City, the smallest state In
the world and the only state located
in city, will celebrate the 10th
anniversary of its establishment on
February II. On that day in 1929
Italy and the Vatican secured the
preliminary signatures to treaty OF
reconciliation which dissolved the
frozen enmity" which had existed
since 1870 between the Kingdom OF
Italy and the Vatican.
To the average visitor to Rome,
particularly to the many thousands
of Americans who 60 there every
year, the new state was like the
discovery of new land on the globe,
although the district of some hum
dred-odd acres was known as the
Etruscan settlement of Ager Vati-
canus many years before the birth
of Christianity. 1t was at this place
that Nero had his circus, in which
the Apostle Peter is said to have
met his death. In the routine ar
rangements followed by travellers to
the Vatican there has been small
change, but the tourist has made
the most of such changes as have
come. For one thing In the old days
the tourist cared little where he
purchased the postage stamps for
his home-going picture postcards.
Today the little post Office in Vatl-
can City is thronged daily with Wis
itors waiting in line to secure the
beautiful stamps issued by earth's
newest Holy City.
Under the enthusiastic and in
telligent guidance of Pope Plus XII
| the Vaticans treasures have been
made many times more secure and
accessible to visitors and made thor
oughly interesting. The mammoth
task of cataloging the great library
has been undertaken with American
aid. Members of the Vatican staff
went to the United States and spent
a year to learn American library
systems. BY adopting the index and
filing system of the Library of Con-
gresS in Washington the Vatican
library has made it possible for
visitors to consult rare volumes never
before available for research.
| "
The story is told that when his
holiness the Pope consulted the
American who helped bring about
many of the modern improvements
in the Vatican, he asked, What kind
of floors do they use in American
.libraries?" Marble" was the Amer
leans reply. Simple and direct came
the Pope's answer, Wont you go up
to Carrara and select enough for this
]ibrary?" at once choosing the best
marble from the Tuscany noun
tains, where centuries ago was quar-
ried the stone to build the historic
old palaces of the Roman emperors
When decision had to be made re-
garding the stacks to hold the books
the Pope's question was which kind

two-story portico, are among the
gracious homes to be visited in
Natchez.
Through wide portals may be seen
archways leading to broad, winding
staircases, and, in retrospect, one
may visualize dashing Confederate
cavalry officers dancing with South
ern bellies even while Grants army
was pounding its way toward nearby
Vicksburg.
