Genoa. That 1m butter than stealing

It is difficult in the latter circum
stance to feel that pne has changed
from France to Italy; the Depression
grows slowly and is graduated, which
is always had for an impression.
('?tine suddenly upon Genoa from the
sea (kIv111k a thought as your jTaft
steams in to the famous lighthouse
at the entrance to theharbor?It Is
?KM) years old. and of a style suitable
to Italy), and Genoa strikes you as
a tine, strong representative pieue of,
Italy. Genoa, with her glorious past.
is steeling lierself sternly now to
modern materialistic demands.
There is no other city in Italy which
combines so many features ot the
country's life, appearance, history,
traditions and sensations as doep
Genoa. It I* a place of measureless
variety and enormous contrasts. There
may he Utile oT Home about it. as you
might ."ay, nor scarcely anythftig of
the delicacy, the elegance, the aesthetic
refinement of Florence.
Foremost ItaPlan Seaport.
Hut Genoa, this first seaport of Italy,
is a busy, commercial place, of ?enor
mous' achievement both tiefnre~ and
during the war, and which up to the
beginning of hostilities was doing a
trade of over two hundred million
American dollars' a year. It Is a city
of vast aspirations, coupled with a
practical way of working them out.
lu busy Genoa you get occasional
reminders of- Hologna, of \ erona, and
of the veritable Venice. And. again,
you have here some of the stern
modernity <>r Milan?plain, manufac
turing metropolis of the north, bent
coldly to the needs of commerce and
trade.
Genoa couples In herself some on
the romance of the Queen ??f the Adri
atic with the4 modern commercial
hurdheadedness of Milan. Milan in
Italy is what Manchester is to Kng
land; and- even in the magnificent
opera house, the Scala, where so
many of the world's brst singers hare
been nursed, there i* the feeling al
ways thai here commerce Is patroniz
ing It lordly o'er the arts.
Flavor of Old Italy.
You may poke about the myriad lit
tle pinnacles on the roof *>f the cathe
dral. and gaze afar to the wUte-capped
Al| >s overlooking the lakes of won
drolls blue, bill cmmticrce seems to
tinge almost every contemplation.
And t!n- i> t"".l tor Italy, for Italy
cannot lue on nri-rrmi 11 aditirrrr-nhme;

hrst tn t he -niirks?irf Italian ports,
while ?*!??? 11tr it- commerce on the grand

(!o down by the h?trhur. and. not
withstanding the bu-v hi.-tie and the
certain evidence <>t" the modern world,
one would hardly I e :<-?oi i-hed to see
two gentlemen ot "l<! ' i e 111 >ji , hj t i

at sides, emerge from one of the fif
teenth-cent ;.i y ,I,mhs* ins w hi< h abound
in that i|11it11?-r. Kveryw I ere there is
this strong contrast.
A purt of Genoa i? a veritable maze
of old. d;?rk -.reds in which ?n> per-'
son w th1 *nt the instinct for getting
his whereabouts may speedily become
lost Kare old streets they are. too.
In the middle of the city there Is
one which I- most wonderful, the Via
l.uccoli a thin -lit not more than nine
feet wide ami hundreds of feet high.
a<> that Jii"t the thinne-i -trip of Ital
ian sky chti be seen by the stroller as
he lifts his eyta-s from the show of
excellent and varied wares In the
shops on either side of the Via I.uiVoll.
This is Italy; but not far away you
may pace down the Via Yenti Het
tembre and observe a strong moder
nity about the thoroughfare, something
of the American style about If, and
yet no! without its share of Italian
elegance. Here are good restaurants,
modern in all their appointments, su

So again In the Via Uouia; ami the
traveler will find that the business
men who flit about possess a sharp
ness . of tuanoer and of countenance
that arc not common in the land.
The Monument# of Genoa.
In Genoa we' have some flne new
building*. There Ih the bourse, and
the jK)Ht office?full of accomodation
and convenience. There are splendid
places like the lMnzzn de Ferrari, and
yet everywhere there Is Italian feel
ing for making the best of beauty's
possibilities Where in the world was
ever monument more effectively placed
than that of Mar//.lni In this elty, high
above the ie^el with a backgrouiul of
a green hill and a tumbling waterfall
beyond 7 ?
Again, what an admirable and 1m
partial sense of fituosx did (Jenoa dis
play when she?linked as closely as
she Is now with the New World, with
the big American steamships coming
up tci her harbor again an they did
TH?prewar days -raised "a marble
monument In her*<ity to Christopher
Columbus., who d'scovered America,
even though he were a Spaniard and
no Italian. ^
In (Jenoa there t\s? Innumerable old
and splendid palaves. Often they
have courtyards In which orange' trees
flourish. There are fascinating old
churches, with strange legends at
tached to some of their relics.
Kve'rywhere there Is something writ
ten 4in the-wall* lor it i* well said
that (Jenoa Is a "city of Inscriptions."
There are records of sea victories of
thr thirteenth century on the facade
of the church of San Mat too; and
in many public places the characters
of persona of old were thus advertised
untlatforlngly by their enemies, the
opinions thus expressed remaining.
.The "gnllerles." or covered shopping
arcades, a stroi g feature of most
Italian cities, are especially good In
Genoa, it is it r;?re place, of most
absorbing Interest. Seven and eight
centuries ?go It was a powerful mari
time state.- And now, when the world
is once more beginning afresh, and
when, as It appears, one of the fea
tures of the new economics Is to be
keen competition among the Kuropean
ports, (Jenoa .braces herself for that
success to which she was advancing
before the war.

Famous For Its Marvelous Motor
See How Chandler ChecRs With
High-Priced Cars
THE Chandler Six throughout its seven years of production has been distin
guished for dts many distinctively superior features of design and equipment
which are used also on the highest priced American cars, and not used in any
considerable degree by cars now priced hundreds of dollars higher than the
Chandler. See, then, how the Chandler checks with ten of the best-known high
priced cars in these features selected as being characteristic of high-grade design
and most efficient service.
