The sorriest, forlorneat slice at tatterdemalion came shambling along. He was sober. Hunger if you're erer felt It, you recog nize it In the other fellow's eyes stared out from his emaciated face. "Hello, pard." Bill stepped to his side and slipped a Mil into his hand. We went on. A moment later the hobo shuffled up. " 'Scuse me. roister You made a mistake. You gave me $20.

Many new taxes also will be applied this year and these are expected to provide a continued increase In the national receipts, since the Italian taxpayer seems inexhaustible in his contribution to the restoration of his country's finances. Other numerous signs of econ omic revival in Italy are pointed out by Italian economists. These include a decrease in the num ber and extent of strikes, in croafed railway earnings and an increase In the Amount of capital invested in hydro-electric plants. Imports of manufactured ar ticles from abroad are slowly de creasing, while Italian exports, chiefly to Mediterranean coun tries and South America are in creasing. The national savings now ex ceed 17,000,000.000 of lire, as compared to about 7,000,000,000 before the war.

He Keenicd to act according to some super standard of his own. Ho beggared himself financi ally with his spendthrift ways, but his whimsical investments brought him In a rich store of ex perience and satisfaction. The wealth of self-expression was worth viore to him than economic affluence. Y'et he was not one who bore amiably an empty wallet. 113 liked to spend. He wished always to be the host. Often he would say to me, "I shall have the pleas ure of ordering this at your ex pense." When thomeal was fin ished I would look for the check, picking up the napkins and fuss ing about.
