Agilitv Greatest Asset
Of Pedestrians in Rome
, , U ... ,', ; . t - ..J.
1 ROME Thed, municipality of
Rome has begun a series of inno
vations in street traffic regulation
which, many holy year visitors
to .the Italian capital hope, will
have the effect of lessening the
dangers presented; by the co-existence
in Rome of perhaps the most
rckle3s motor car drivers in" the
world and the narrowest sidewalks
of any of the, great capitals.
. Safety first in New York, Lon
don and Paris is largely and ad
monition to avoid jay-walking,
and the careful pedestrian,, is safe
if he follows the rules of the road
and trusts to the traffic police
man. Here, however, the only
sure safety lies in ducking Into a
hallway during a particularly busy
movement of traffic. i !
Many of the most important
squares and thoroughfares of
Rome have merely nominal side
walks for pedestrians or none at
all. , For most of he length of
the Cor so Uroberto'.' the .city's
busiest artery of' traffic, no more
than two or three persons can
walk abreast en the sidewalk,
whlle the Via Condotti, Rome's
Bond"street. is about 30 feet wide,
including the two narrow; side
walks. The Piazza di Spagna, the
city's tourist center, has no side
walk at all and is a mad helter
Ekelter of traffic.;
. Despite the narrowness of the
streets Rome's taxicabs. and they
are by far the most luxurious and
fastest in the world, dash along at
breakneck speed, the chauffeaurs
sounding their old-fashioned hand
horns every few seconds to terrify
the. pedestrians who are unable
to crowd onto the sidewalks. , j
Welch Miners Hard Hit
By Taxes and Competition
MERTHYR, Wales. -The coal
mining, industry in this locality Is
in a very serious plight owing, it
is asserted, to high taxation. Ger
man competition, and the national
wage agreement which the : mine
owners declare has forced up the
cost of production.
Of the 80.000 inhabitants of the
district, not more than 20.000 are
male wage-earners, and nearly
half of their number are on the
dole. .-!v ; ' : i
Exceptionally high cost of pro
duction, it is eald, caused five pits
at Dowlls, within : the Merthyr
administration boundary, to be
abandoned, put 6.000 men out of
work, lost $100,000 a week in
wages to the district and reduced
the country's output of. coal by
about 15.000 tons a week.
During the last eight months the
output of coal has fallen by 5,000.
000 tons, according to Flnlay Gibson.-
secretary i of the Monmouth
shire and South Wales Coal Own
ers Association. He said that the
present Blnnip fn South Wales was
worse than ever before.
