soil Is poor and has an intrinsic agri-
cultural value Of perhaps $500. When
Perkins entered the navy he left the
farm In charge of his father, with full
power to act In all matters connected

Lead Dull Lives.

Carrara marble is associated with
the silent beauty Of great cathedrals
and monuments. ., There is none Of
that dignity about the place of its
origin. The little Italian town OF Car
rara, huddled beside the mountain
quarries for which It exists. is a
place Of confusion and clamor. of men
and beasts laboring to supply the
world with commodity.
The Pyrenees mountains have been
supplying this marble. for centuries.
The quarry workmen have for years
toiled, as their ancestors before them
toiIed, to keep up the steady outflow
Of Carrara marble for the hand Of
sculptor and architect, and even to
make possible that ornament beloved
Of our grandmothers, the marble-top-
ped table. ....s.
For Carrara's laborers, saving and
hammering necessarily, there comes
none of the artists Joy Of working
with perfect medium. In their tread
mill of hard labor the slabs Of glisten-
Ing stone long ago became as dull and
uninspirtng as 50 much iron or coal.
Blocks Of perfect marble are dragged
about recklessly and laden on wagons
behind long strings Of weary oxen.
Carrara exists for the last day OF
the week. Then. clutching its earn
ings so hardly won, it hastens to the
towns gathering places and for a few
intoxicating hours throws Off the grip

ROME, Sept. 10 BY The Associated
Press). The adoption Of firm policy
by General Badoglic in dealing with
the Fiumc situation was Endorsed by
King Victor Emmanuel before the gen
orai left Rome on his mission to re-
store order in the Fiumc region. The
King, however, in receiving the general
on the eve Of his departure, while rec
ommending firmness on the generals
part, expressed the wish that there be
no bloodshed.
Great significance is attached here
to long interview the Duke of Aosta
had with Premier Nitti after an equal
'
the King. The Duke Of Aosta is popu-
lar with the troops and close friend
of Gabrielle d'Annunzio, whom it is be-
licved he may be able to influence.
Among measures adopted by the
government to prevent recnforcements
from reaching the Italinn "irregular"
troops in Fiume is military order re-
moving the magnetos from airplanes at
all aviation camps. D'Annunzio already
has succeeded in gathering about him
at Fiume airplanes forming part Of his
famous squadron.
Co onel Sciiiani, chief of the staff of
General Badoglio and a personal fricnl
of Gabrielle d'Annun2io, mas returned
from Flume, where he had Il conversa-
tlon with d'AnnunziO, who said he pre-
viously had informed all the Allied
countries, including the United States,
Of his intention TO occupy Fiumc.
Blockade of Fiume Complete
According to the "Messagero,' the
land and sea blockade Of Fiume is COM
pletc. The National Council of Fume
is supplied with foodstufs for three
months. D'AnEunzio is reported to be
suffering from fever.
Premier Nitti. answering an inter
pellation on the incidents at Fiumc in
the Chamber of Deputies Tuesday, said
he had nothing to add to the commu-
nications already given out, but wished
to explain why his language had been
rather strong in his previous statement
regarding the affair. The Premier de-
clarcd he saw the necessity to con-
vince the Allies of the good faith Of
the Italian 90 ern lent and to destroy
any suspicious of connivancc between
it and the raiders.
Duty Of L~yalty, He Says
"There are duties of uprightness and
loyalty between governments in which
we must not rail," he said
Signor Nitti stated that he was most
ANXIOUS absolutely TO contradict the
rumors that the Italian government did
not look with unfavorabc eyes upon
