Iriest, Italy.-The outbreaks here
leading to street fighting between ma.
tionalists and socialists, have been re-
sumed. Two deaths have occurred
and score Of persons have been
wounded.
Intermittent firing continues, de-
spite the fact that strong guards have
been placed along the Streets
Workmen who have occupied the Or

stroyer built there for the Italian
government. Black and red flags
waved above it, however, as it slid
down the ways into the sea and as II
gracefully took the water there rose
deafening cries of "Viva Socialism"
Deputy Capochi, who is president of
the Metal Workers union, launched

Signor Mascagni made a brief address

Efforts continue to bring about a
solution of the situation which has
arisen throughout Italy as a result of
the movement among metal workers
to occupy plants in many of the most
important industrial centers. The
government, it is said by newspapers,
will act only to insure order. Reports
Indicate that engineers, fOremen and
clerical staffs at occupied plants still
refuse to join the workers. The fact
that delegates from workmen's and
employers organizations are in COM

an adjustment.

metal workers are controlled by ex-
treme socialists who are DESTROYS Of
giving the movement a political char.

party are said TO discourage such a

PRoBERs ARE DIVIDED.
Senate Committee investigating Cam
paian Expenses Fails to Agree.

Chicago.-The senate committee
investigating campaign expenditures
is divided on the question of pursuing
the investigation of Governor CoX's
charges that millions are being
sought by the Republican national
committee to corrupt" the electorate.
The Republican attitude, as ex-
pressed by Senator Edge, is that every
lead offered by Governor Cox and his
supporters has been pursued without
proving any of what the New Jersey
senator characterized as sinister
counts in the Democratic presidential
nominees charges. Senators EdSe'
Kenyon and Spencer, Republicans
propose that the committee drop the
Cox charges and move to Pittsburg to
investigate reports that the liquor IN
terests are taking an active part ID
the campaign.
The Democratic view, however, as
expressed by Senators Reed ana
Pomerene, is that the Cox charges are
being proven. and they desire TO go 10

treasurer, and other Republican lead

Of arrival, because of the favorable
market, only about one-third of the
shipment came in by closing time, and
il was noon the next day before the
remainder was delivered.
The long, winding tratl did not end
at the wholesalers. Once UnIoaded,
the peaches were put on display for
the benefit of various tobbers, some Of
whom purchased a few dozen crates
and some larger amounts. Some Of
these men were situated within two or
three squares Of the wholesaler and
their purchases were delivered on
hand trucks. In the case OF other job
bers another wagon transfer was nee
essary.
Next in this process which econc-
mists call distribution, came the retail
ers to look over the lots, in the end
buying small quantities such as they
could sell in a day or two. This, of
course. neceSsitated another handling
and carting over the city's rough pave
ments.
Last. hut not least, came the con-
sumers, each buying only small frac-
ton of a crate and paying a big share
Of the expense all the handling had
entailed.
Carriage Is Costly.
This instance is no exaggeration.
A very large part of the fOOdstuffs
brought to American cities goes over
some such devious trail. One Wash
ington ID. c. wholesale merchant has
stated that he spends $4,000 a year
for carriage which could be saved If
the city had wholesale terminal
where cars could be unloaded directly
into premises occupied by the whole
salerS. Following an investigation in
New York city it was estimated by a
local organization that the saving in
handling costs which would result if
adequate terminal facilities were es,
tablished would be 100000 annual
" by the borough of Richmond ;
100000 by Queens; $16,0O0.0O0 by
the Bronx; S21, 100000 by Brooklyn.
and an even vaster sum by Manhat-
tan.
Marketing experts admit that there
are many battling aspects to the high
cost-of-lfving problem, but contend
that the remedy for the phase of oul
costly distribution system just de
scrihed is plain. Cities which will pro
vide modern wholesale terminals
where shipments can be delivered
from the railroad cars direct TO whole
salers a few feet away, will make pos
sihle the saving of immense sums OF
money now charged up to the con
sumner.

Institute, has discovered vaccine

have demonstrated that the control
Of hookworm is simple matter Of
sanitation. Eradication Of that dis
ease and malaria depends chiefly upon
the cooperation of the public with the
authorities. Doctor Vincent states.
That the 1921 campaign will be
necessary is apparent. Yellow fever
was prevalent at all the principal
ports on the coast Of Mexico this fall,
and to prevent Its possible spread to
the United States the public health
service placed quarantine restrictions
against all travellers from these ports.
Epidemics Of the disease have been
reported from Tuxpam and Vera
Cruz, and some deaths have occurred
at progreso, In Yucatan, further to
