AMALFL 15 CITY WITH GREAT PAST Is Picturesque Italian Village Nestled on Hillside Washington, D. C., April *Amalfi has had slides before,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geo- graphic siciety concerning the pie- turesque little Ita town about which there have recently been dis- astrous land-slips. “The sea has been remorseless in eating under the red rock clifis on which the town and i neighboring villages perch,” continues the bulletin: “but more important has been Amalfi's figurative slip from its position as the world's first naval power to comparative obscurity and unimportance. “The Amalfi Naples is one of t scenically, of Italy's beauty spots. A collection of views showing quaint Old World villages clinging to cliff-sides could hardly escape including Amal- fi. It seems the archetype of them all. The rough red cliffs spring steeply from the sea along this coast, and it must have been a daring builder who 15.— south of e most. beautiful, district just first conceived the idea of planting his| atructures there, But there they have elung for more than & thousand years, and when the sea, at times, has swal- | lowed some of the buildings, the peo- LADY BALFOUR FINDS MODERN GIRL INFERIOR Old Fashioned Girl Superior To Girl of Today in Morals, Intelligence and in Romance I.o today are Your jon, April 15 g woms of much inferior to the old fashioned girls in point of morals, in roma and of the at affairs of Frances Balfour, dau | Duke of Argyll, in a before the Londor nomics. “The face o is a mass of powder,” “Her lips untit recognizable, reck rson makes one long for the telligen e, knowledgr said Lady of the ecture liter Sehool the modern gi the speaker de are painted no longer and the of her outdoor In the past, T \UUI;L'.\\HI ntinued, n doubtless 12d cousider- ably more sheltered live The in the old days a great conf tween ignorance and innocenc but life had more romantic possibilitics, Tne girls of that period knev men and thought of them as pa of virtue and unscifishness.

A City “Piled Upon Itself.” “Hans Christian Andersen, who be- tween fairy tales wrote charmingly of up precipitous | Ttaly's lovely scenery, described Amal-| fl in a phrase when he called it ‘a city singularly piled upon itself." Tts little street run not only among, but through, the houses, and some of its dark, torturous passages ‘must be lghted in midday, Tts main street with its curious archways gives a touch of the Orient, Behind the town in a deep ravine ‘glen of the bills' where a rolling atream leaps toward the sea in cas- is the picturesque ecade after cascade, driving the ma-| chinery of dozens of clanking paper| Paper making is one of the| mills. main industries of Amalfl, and in ad- @ition there are the inevitable maca- roni factories, and soap making plants, “It is difficult to realize that littie Amalfi, precarlously stuck upon its ciiffs, with a population of only about 5,000, | was once a wealthy independ- ent city-state whose might was ree-| nized throughout the Near East. the early Middle Ages before Venlce In, and Genoa and Plsa rose to power, | Amalfl was the great mercantile and naval power of the Mediterranean, Its | traders started the order of St. John, later the Knights of Malta, Tts fleet | waa the scourge of the Saracens in the | trying days when thelr boats preyed on Mediterranean commerce, the city's doges a maritime court was maintained whose code was the ac- knowledged maritime law of Europe or centuries And as a further con- tribution to the nautical world an Amalfian eitizen is belleved to have invented mariners’ compass, whoge north-s ing needle, though Lknown to the Chinese, was not viously used for navigation.

The #ea began to undermine the lower part of the town in the twelfth een- tury, and about the same time came subjection from the Norman rulers of Sielly and Naples. In 1343 came a terrible inundation which destroyed most of the town and its harbor. F'rom then the decline was rapid, and be- fore long the ecity of 50,000 inhabi- tants had shrunk to one-tenth its for- mer size. But picturesquencss and beauty have clung to Amalfi as ten- aclously as Amalfi has clung to its eliffs. Nothing can shake these assets, Boat 1oads of tourists sall from Naples between the Sorrentine peninsula and Capri to enter what is left of Amaifi's harbor and admire ila beauties from the sea; while other sightseers drive down along the shelving highways to enjoy the obs plcture, High ever the climbing are perched ir mand toraw oNS J E SEIBERT& : DAIRY pnonucrs IN HEAL STRENGTH GAIN AND irized o please ¥ l. v |4 eac househoid MAKL v <017 “UBERTS X E SLIBERT:SON) J our Millman $PARK ST, PHONE 17208 NEW BRITAIN CONN Buicks Serve Indefinitely So often the remark wear out”, statement.
