VAXES . . . Italian method
I was greatly impressed on my re
cent visit to Italy with the age ,of
some of the houses which are still
occupied for residential and business
purposes. A house three hundred
years old is almost "modern". In
tl'e Jewish section of Rome, where
there are still descendants of the
Jewish slaves captured In the Holy
Land by the Emperor Titus, while
Saint Paul was still preaching, Bome
of the buildings have stood since the
time of the Caesars! Many buildings
from six hundred to a th6usand
years old are still occupied in
Venice, Florence and Naples. They
are all built of stone or brick, of
course.
They have survived because Italy
like other European nations, has
never taxed real estate out of ex
istence. There is no tax on land or
buildings as such. Farm laud pays
taves only on what it produces;
town buildings pay taxes only on the
rent income. If there is no produc
tion or no income, no taxes.
That, struck me as a sensible sys
tem.
BEER sad figure*
Whatever happens in the matter
of legalizing beer without repealing
the Prohibition amendment, one
thing seems certain to me. The tax
on beer will never, unless the open
saloon returns provide anything like
the revenue and other benefits
which its advocates have claimed.
America never consumed more
than about 60 million barrels of
beer a year, even when a pint cost

$5 a barrel would be nearly a nickel

anywhere nearly as much beer

to be bought in bottles and carried
home to drink. The largest number
of persons ever employed in the
breweries was about 80,000, not
very much unemployment relief in
that figure, even if brewing started
up at top speed. And what of re

Whiskey has always been the
American drink, always produced
the largest revenue, and is what
most American drinkers really want.
HERO eye witness
While returning to America on
the Conte di Savoia, I saw a man
risk his life for others in midocean.
Gennaro Amatruda, an able seaman,
from Amaifi, near Naples, is a real
hero.
A valve broke on a ten-inch con
denser pipe, letting the ocean flow
into the ship's dynamo compartment.
The captain brought the ship up in
to the wind—''hove her to," as sail
ors say—stopped the engines,
shifted the oil in the fuel tanks so
as to heel the great vessel over and
lift the pipe hole above water level,
and asked for a volunteer to go
overside and try to put a plug in the
hole. "I won't order any man to
take the risk," said Captain Lena.
"If nobody volunteers, I'll go over
my elf."
Amatruda stepped up. "Plenty
more sailors," he said, "but only one
captain." They tied a rope around
him and lowered him into the sea.
It was pitch dark and raining,
waves broke over him at times sub
merging him ten feet or more. After
more than an hour he got the plug
into the hole.
"Any more holes? Give me an
other plug!" he said as they hauled
him up, grinning. I was glad to chip
in toward the fund of S7OO which
the passengers raised for Amatruda.
It will keep his wife and four chil
dren at Amaifi free from want the

GYROSCOPES . . how they work
Three little flywheels down in the
hold of a great ship keep it from
rolling in the worst of storms. The
gyroscopic stabilizers on the 50,000-
ton Conte di Savoia look huge when
one stands beside them, but com
pared with the bulk of the ship it
self they are about as big, propor
tionately, as three grapefruit in a
canoe.
A flywheel always tends to re
volve in the plane in which it
started. Try to tilt it and it will
resist. These gyroscopes are simply
flywheels revolving at 910 revolu
tions a minute. The first wave
that strikes tfce side of a ship does
not roll it; rolling is due to a suc
cession of wave impulses. Check
the first impulse and the next wave
becomes, in effect, the first wave,
and so on. A very slight resistance
checks the first wave. That is all
there is to the stabilizing of a ship
by gyroscopes.
CHURCH Jt stands
One does not have to be a Roman
Catholic to stand reverent and awe
struck in the great church at Rome
which was built over the grave of
Saint Peter, the founder of the or
ganized church which is based upon
the teachings of Christ. It is the
very heart and center of Christian
ity, as well as the largest and most
beautiful church in the world.
I was interested in the fact that
the last two pretenders to the
throne of England, James Stuart and
his son Charles Edward, are also
buried in St. Peter's: they are still
held by many good Catholics to have
been wrongfully barred from the
throne of Britain.
On the road to Ostia stands the
tomb of Saint Paul, who was, like
Peter, condemned to death in Rome
for his Christian teachings.
The great structures of Pagan
Rome stand in ruins; no one knows
where Caesars are buried. Th?
glory of their ancient capital is the
churches and monuments of the reli
gion they persecuted.
Davie And Yadkin
Ahead Of Others
Raleigh, Dec. 26.—Davie and Yad
kin counties have the jump on many
of the counties of North Carolina
in the establishment of the ring
neck pheasant to add a new species
to the game bird population, as a re
sult of contributions of John J. La
rew, outstanding sportsman and
game breeder of Mocksville, State
Game Warden Charles H. England
said today.
Last season, according to a report
from Mr. Larew to Mr. England, the
Mocksville sportsmen distributed 1,-
130 pheasant eggs in Davie county.
A check by Mr. Larew showed that
824 of the eggs hatched; and at the
age of six weeks 288 of the birds
were living. All of the pheasants
were released and went toward
stocking public covers.
Mr. Larew distributed 123 pheas
ant eggs in Yadkin county during
the season. A hatch of 70 birds was
recorded by the various individuals
to whom the eggs were furnished.
Twenty-two of the birds were re
ported as living at the age of six
weeks to two months.
Distribution of the eggs, accord
ing to Mr. Larew, was made largely
through boys of the agricultural
high school classes of the county and
County Warden A. E. Hendrix, of
Mocksville.
State Warden England cited the
work of Mr. Larew in breeding and
releasing game as one among many
such projects that are being carried
out_J>y sportsmen in North Carolina.
These voluntary contributions, the
state warden asserted, have supple
mented greatly the breeding activi
ties being carried out by the De
partment of Conservation and Le
velopment at the State Game Farm
near Asheboro and at various state
refuges.
