sell you his watch, or if that didn ' t work, he ' d ask you for a cigarette and let it go at that. At the foot of the city, dominating the harbor, is a great castle built by he Spanish which now serves as city hall and court house. Naples is the center of the cameo trade. A number of the artisans have their shops clustered on the height of the mountain that shelters the city. Across the bay, Vesuvius broods, quietly now. But, deep within, the mountain still rumbles forth its warnings. Pompeii, once the resort center of the ancient Romans, felt the devastation of Vesuvius. Recently NAPOLI! Steaming by the picturesque Isle of Capri, we entered Naples as we had many other ports — in the mists of the morning. After executing the tricky Mediterranean Moor, the liberty party made its way to the beach in some of the local rowboats after considerable hassel as to prices. Once ashore that first day (and every day), there was no shortage of guides. ' ' If the guide couldn ' t take you somewhere, he ' d unearthed, this buried city has remained comparatively intact, with its fountains, houses and baths which were buried under the volcanic ash for centuries.

The actual size of the tremendous structure is not at first apparent because of the perfectly propor- tioned architecture. Aside from being the largest church in the world and having the largest unsupported dome in the world, St. Peter ' s houses the most valuable collection of art and precious gems in the world. The works of the greatest painters and sculptors adorn the church. The highlight of our visit was an audi- ence with Pope Pius XI. His Holiness re- ceived the group of visitors from every part of the world at his winter residence at the Castle Gondolfo, outside Rome. It was a fe fc ■v • - memorable and inspiring event for every- one.
