SMITH RuL PASSES

Senator Smiths bill creating a
Bureau of Rehabilitation in the De-
partment of Labor and Industry was
passed finally this morning. The bill
aims to do for State workingmen
who may be injured, that which the
federal government is doing for the
boys injured on the battlefields of
Europe, by directing them in some
new and adaptable line of industry.

ROME BUTTER MAD;
MOBS FIGHT FOR IT
BIZ Associated Press.


Rome, May 2S.-Octoganarians
of both sexes participate every
day in Rome in spirited melees
for fresh butter. The fights oc-
cur at 6 o'clock each morning
and each evening.
Butter is so scarce in Rome that
when any is put on sale at a
creamery the place is stormed by
buyers. Aged men and women,
girls, boys, persons of all ages,
engage in n scramble for it.
Women have part of their cloth
ing torn off and scream from pain
in the pressure of the mob. They
emerge with disheveled hair and
raging countenances, frey mad at
the roughness of the others. If
a woman is successful she re-
ceives two ounces of butter for
which she pays thirty cents.

is said. and it is believed that the
drugs were the cause of his collapse.
Since he had been in Jail for thirty
days. it is not believed he had re-

Jean Benoit MalIat 10 Said to Have
Been the Inventor Of Handy
Writing UtenslI.

A fountain pen made in 1864 is still
10 use in Paris. 1t was patented that
same year by Jean Benoit Mallat, an
engineer, and the firm that still car
ries on the business founded by him
asserts that this was the first foun-
tain pen ever made.
Mallat was the inventor of the gold
pen with the ruby point, perhaps the
easiest writing and most durable nib
ever put on the market. But 1t is nee
es sarily expensive. In 1843 Mallat
substituted iridium as a point for his
pens. At the same time he provided
a reservoir for the ink. This was
the germ from which grew the idea Of
storing ink in the handle.
Mallat's fountain pen differs only
slightly from our modern ones. It
was self-flling, but the flow of ink
was regulated by a little turn-screw
on the side This, however, was soon
given up, as it became clogged.
It would be interesting to know
what was the date of the earliest pat
emf on fountain pen in America and
England.
