F|RMNESS OF ITALIANS
REACHES GRAVE STAGE.
President Objects to London Treaty. Of l9l5--Cermany
Warned to Send 'Real Leaders" to Versailles, But
May Refer Matter to People Make Treaty Public

London, Apr. 21-The Italian par
lament which was 10 have met this
week will not convene until May g.,
evidently due TO the failure OF the
council OF four to reach a resolution
on the Fiume problem. Paris dis
patches indicate that the situation
caused by the Italians unyielding at
titude has reached a critical phase.
President Wilson was not present
yesterday or today with the premiers
OF England, France and Italy. He
has stood against the recognition Of
the treaty of London framed in 1915
upon which Italy's claim iB based.
Despite the warning sent Germany
that the delegates she sends must
not be mere messengers" Germany
selected rather unimportant persons
to go to Versailles. It is reported
that these German delegates have
merely power to receive the terms
and that the German cabinet will
then decide whether to accept or re-
ject. or submit the matter to the peo.
Pile.
The peace conference may insist
that the men sent by Germany to
Versailles have the power to sign
the treaty OF peace.

SLANG TERM OF OLD ORIGIN
AppeIIation "Deadhead" First Came
Into Use When Dead City Of
Pompeii Was FIourishing.

Did you ever stop and think why, if
you are so fortunate as TO acquire a
free ticket to something you should
be called deadhead? The reason for
this bit of slang dates way back TO
the days of the ancients. In the ma
tional museum In Naples there is a
case of old theater tickets that the
Pompelians didn't get chance to use
before their theater season was
brought to such an abrupt close by
the eruption of vesuvius. They are
made in various shapes, each shape
showing which part of that particular
ticket will admit you. You could get
into the peanut gallery only when you
presented the little pigeons, and to
this day that gallery is called the pig
con loft In Italy. Then there were
little skulls modelled of ivory, and
these were used only by those who
were to be admitted free. Hence,
"deadhead."
