Perfu1nery, Plaudits
Are Daily Portion Of
Fiume Poet Warrior

London. March 27.--"F'iume's per-
fumed Emperor" is how DAnnunxio
is described by travellers returning
from the disputed city.
While the business men OF the
port, yearning for its restoration to
prosperity, are growing increasingly
resentful of the poets persistence in
clinging to lost hope, HIS popularity
is actually growing with old men
and women. They treat him as a
Roman emperor, and whenever he
passes men stand bare-headed and
women kneel in subservient homage
IN petitions addressed to him, DAN
nunzio is styled Your Excellency,"
Your Highness," or Your Grace"
He never appears in the streets un-
less followed by an imposing suite
and thus unrefecting Humans are
never allowed to think of him as an
ordinary citizen
Heroic adventures have not weak
ened the poet -warrior's love OF rare
perfumes, and every day he sprinkles
himself copiously with old FIorentine
Installations.

THE REAL ART OF
PLAYING THE PLAYER

An interesting discussion on the
player piano by Harold Vincent Mil
ligan, organist, composer and teacher,
appears in the April "Women's Home
Companion" Mr.. Milligan corrects
an impression which still exists to
some extent that this instrument need
not be aided except by industrious
feet on the pedals; but in his argu-
practice. he does not OF course refer
to the wonderful reproducing player
piano.
Mr.. Milligan, who tells simply and
concisely just how much the player
piano can contribute OF artistry and
beauty and how to obtain 1t, says
that the reason why many player
pianos are little used is because the
real character OF the instrument is
often misunderstood
I'm the early days of the player
piano." he says ''the instrument was
considered by too many people only

High Rents Brought
About by "Laziness
of Men and Women

Chicago, March Women got
lazy and men are still more lazy---and
that's the reason behind all high
rents"
This is the opinion OF Joseph A.
Holpuch. spokesman for the Chicago
building contractors.
This demand for one-room apart
ments. this condition OF living APP
reaching race suicide. is responsible
for boosting rents universally" said
he. When an owner finds one room
will bring SI00 month, of course he
will consider himself losing money IL
his six-room apartment doesn't also
bring him an equal or nearly equal
amount. He boosts his rents.
There's only one remedy for high
rents and that is: Build houses, bun
gafows and two and three STORY apart
ments, and keep on building them.

his journey to Europe was successful

visit several cemeteries where Ameri-

the French. He urged that relatives of
these fallen heroes leave their kin in
