ROME GIVES u. S.
FAMOUS PALACE

aces that line the Corso Umberto, for
merly the Flaminian way, has just
been purchased by the big banking In
terests Of Italy, rechristened LA Casa
delrAmerica" or 1.-THE American
House, and placed at the disposal of
all societies, organizations and move
ments that have for their object the
furtherlng of commercial, financial, So
cial and Industrial relations between
the United States and Italy.
Banks Provide Money.
The project was planned by Minis
ter of Provisions Crespi, who through
his contact with American Food Adj
ministrator Hoover, became convinced
Of the great mutual benefit to be de-
rived by Italy and America through
closer relations. The money for the
purchase of the palace was put up
by the leading banking institutions OF
Italy.
The Salviati palace, which is near
the entrance Of the Corso Umberto
into Piazza Venezin, or where the
Flaminlan way formerly led up to the
Capitoline hill, Is surrounded by the
other equally historic palaces Of the
Odescalchi and Dorvia families.
A Permanent Headquarters.
The first floor of the palace will be
occupied by the central headquarters
Of the Italian-American league, of
which Senator Ruff1ni is president and
which has for its object promoting
every possible relation between the
American and italian peoples.
The second floor will be given over
to the offices of financial organiza'
lions that are especially interested in
Italian and American stocks and
bonds.
Still other portions of the palace will
be given over to the societies and or.
ganizations promoting interests along
special lines between the United States
and Italy.

The hour of danger found him calm,
serene, sure of himself, like veteran

tried in the most daring feats, were
amazed at his deeds of valor. When
they praised him Corporal Macmillan
Mombello would answer with proud
smile: "I-but l am special corpo-

Early Reports Show Advantage
Rests With Mills.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Sept. 29.-Dawn of
the second week of the steel strike
brought what operators and labor
leaders termed the crisis of the gigan-
tic industrial struggle. Both sides
were marshalling their forces for the
admittedly crucial day.
Early reports from mills in the steel
city district indicated a favorable in
crease in manpower. Labor leaders
were confident. however, that a tinge
of their real strength would be felt to-
day when the employees of Jones &
Laughlin and the Bethlehem Steel
company answered the new strike call.
Jones & Mclaughlin officials re-
ported the fourth attempt to call out
their men had been a Psychological
mistake" and that men reported to-
day as usual-100 per cent Less

The Carnegie Steel company ap-
peared the most optimistic in this dis
trict. They announced several hun
dred more men reported today. among
them being many foreigners. Prepare
tions were made for firing another
furnace, making a total of six of the
eleven stacks of the Edgar Thomson
plant operating.

today.

Fifth Annual Style Show.
The Fall Fashion festival which be-
gins in Topeka tomorrow morning is
the fifth annual fall style showing
billed by Topeka merchants as a unit.
1t is the first Fall Fashion show since
return of the soldiers. Hence the
styles shown are of the brightest,
snappiest variety reflecting the cheer
the people of the United States feel on
the victorious end of the war-and the
safe return of the fighting men.
The window men for the stores have
taken especial pains in arranging the
displays in the big show windows
along the avenue. When the windows
are unveiled this evening it is certain
that Topeka citizens will see such dec
orative effects in window dressing as
are unusual even in the big centers.
Many special effects have been i'm
ported for the occasion and the show
ing in the windows will be be as COM
plete as it is possible to make 1t. In
side the stores the display of fall fash
| ions will be p-to-the-minute and
shoppers will be afforded every op-
portunity to view all of the latest do

FELL IN CHURCH FONT
Youth Nearly Broke Up Services in
Topeka Church Sunday.

Church services at the Central Park
Christian church Sunday morning
were interrupted suddenly, but quite
effectively. Rev. Clifton Z. Rash was
just in the middle of his usual Sunday
morning string of announcements
when one whole section of the con-
gregation became suffused with
laughter.
One of the customs of the church
is that new members must be bap-
tized by immersion. For this purpose
a miniature pool about waist deep is
provided On eoch side of the pool
are small rooms used for dressing
purposes by the prospective church
members.
Sunday morning a long and lean
youth desired to go from one of these
rooms to the other. He intended to
take the short cut ocross the floor
which usually covers the baptismal
pool. But the floor was not there.
He stepped into space. and fell into
the water.
The congregation snickered, tried to
hold the laugh. and succeeded not.
The Rev. Rash is of the opinion that
the young man is none the worse for
the second baptism"
To close the incident it is reported
that the young man-who is but a few
weeks out of the army-raced madly
home and within the hour re-appeared
at the church clad in an army uni
form
