BY GRETCHEN SMITH. A non-stop speed down the Ifalian boot, from Torino at its top to Reggio at its toe, will, in a not far distant day, be a fulfilled dream of Italian motorists. ‘Signor Angelo Mariotti, who is staying at the Mayflower while attending the International Road Congress as & mem- ber the Italian delegation, has brought interesting reports of road con- struction in his country. A new high- way, known as the “Autostrade,” has already been ccmpleted in many sec- tions of Italy, says Signor Mariotti, which provides unusually safe travel for motorists, with an_unlimited speed per- mitted by law. The highway reserved exclusively for fast motor traffic, is built of cement, carefully graded, wide enough to permit passage of three cars, and with all intersecting roads g either overhead or underneath. “The Autostrate built between Rome and Ostia, on the sea?” said Signor Mariotti, “is typical of what the Italian highway beteen Northern and South- ern Italy will be when completed. The Rome-Ostia road is about 18 miles, and the Eastern United States, and finally to [‘at night is brightly illuminated. Detroit, where inspections will be made of the great automobile manufactories. Final Session Tonight. Roy D. Chapin of Detroit, chairman of the American organizing commis- gion for the congress, and Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, .planned to accompany the 'delegate: The final session of the congress will be held this evening at 8 o'clock, but many of the delegates will be together tomorrow for an excursion by bus to Annapolis for a visit to the United States Naval Academy. A reception and luncheon will be tendered them by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland &t the Annapolis Roads Club. Secretary Hyde Speaks. Arthur M.

Contrary to reports of his enemies, Premier Mussolini, Signor Mariotti claims, is so ?Up\lllr among the Italian le, that it is with absolute safety that he travels over the highways of his country alone. Italy has a road problem which is no longer known in this country. “We still have a great many horse- drawn vehicles,” explained Signor Mariottl, “and the iron-rinfmed wheels of heavy wagons cause considerable de- struction to cur automobile roads. Horse-drawn wagons cause greater de- struction on the rdads than either busses or heavy motor trucks.” Signor Mariotti, who was formerly vice-governor of Rome, now holds the post of director of the Italian State Tourist Department. In addition to this, although but 37 years of age, he has-for many years been a professor of political economy at the University of Rome, *For the past four years he has delivered a series of lectures at the uni- versity, on “Tourist Economics,” an in- novation by the Fascist Gov- instruct officials, hotel- t, travelers in Italy are insured of unusual against exploita- tion of any sort.

SIGNOR ANGELO MARIOTTL travelers, or. dishonesty on the part of individual hotel men or public offi- cials, may immediately be reported to the tourist department, said Signor Mariotti, Proud of “Autostrade.” Signor Mariotti is particularly proud of the Italian “autostrade” which has already been completed between Milan and the Lake country. “There are five different routes, all perfect,” he said, “over which one can motor from Milan to the lakes. Perhaps one of cur most beautiful trips over one of the newly completed ‘autostrades’ is the one be- tween Maples and Pompeii.” Signor Mariotti, although a close friend of Premier Mussolini, is one of that class highly disapproved’ by Il Duce—the free but lonely bachelor. 'Oh, yes, I am taxed,” he smiled. ‘No I don't think it is unjust to tax us and I think that all Italian bachelors agree that it is the right thing to do.
