REACTION AGAINST SOCIALISM

Socialist violence has bred Nationalist violence in Italy, with the result that tho ud-Socialist forces are spreading terror among those who recently had teworizec that nation.
 Tactics such as these are mdeleusible whether practicCd by Socialists or their opp poncnts. The fact in Italy is that the for mcr uaugmatcd the conditions that havD resulted in a number of what are described 9s "eravc incidents" in northern and ccn tral districts of the country. Several live. have been lost and property damage has been extensive
 Over a number of years, Italian Social ists and Communists were accustomed t1 strike and riot whenever it was their desire to mtmidotc opposing political parties oi aeercssivc candidates of opposing political faiths. They had almost a monopoly or demonstrations of this nature and met little successful opposition save that furnished by the police and soIdicry
 Last year, when am attempt was made Co establish Bolshcvist government n Italy. thc patriotic former soldiers who had been afIroutcd by the reasonable plots o thc Socialists organized a counter move. Al first. the patriotic organizations were tcy in number but they grew with amazing rap jdity.
 The radicals attempted to ride rough shod over them as they had over other sim liar movements, but they mscalcuIoteo both the strength and fighting spirit of tho now associations. Wherever the Socialist, attacked the Nationalists, the latter struck back swiftly and in a manner that amazed their pcrsecutors.
 Am instance of this kind occurred rc ccnrlv at Ccciua. situated twenty mile. south of Lcehom Immediately. Nation alists marched from Lcghom to Cccma sacked the Communist Club and wrecke, ,hc Chamber of Labor.
 Another detachment from Arczzo went To the villa of San ScpoIaro. wrecked th' Chamber of Labor and publicly burned th' portraits of Lmmc and Trotzly
 Incidents such as these are unknown n America primarily because the ovcrwhcm ing majority of it's citizens strongly disap prove the dangerous isms that have prccip ratcd tbc new Italian crisis.
 Tbcprcscut state of affairs in that com fry. however. significantly indicate the vio Icncc of the reaction against Italian Social ism and the manner in which the patriotic people have taken matters into their owi hands since the government has failed t' display courage and resolution in supprcs sing organized lawlcssucss.- Seattle Times

A RIDE WITH THE LOOT
lanes Book-Chapter 26

We girls did not ask why we were to go up to the big house for the balance of the night. We were re- Deved to get away from my bungalow. We did not need to be told that the gang of conspirators who trailed the royal loot might return with rein forcements as soon as they discovered what the little casket held.
 Doubtless one or two of the robbers had followed the treasure from Ger many, had been watching it, losing it. and finding it repeatedly and they could be counted upon to do desperate deeds to regain it.
 We girls hoped that we could end the adventure for that night by going over to the Lorimer mansion. It was as strong as a fortress.
 I've sent two of my men off the grounds for help" said Morrison. There isn't wire working on your place, Lorimer Every one clippedi Now. young ladies, will you please collect those diamonds? Wouldn't advise you to leave 'em here unless commanded and armyi"
 We girls dug up sapphires, from the flour barrel. pearls from the sugar box. diamonds from the oatmeal, en- eralds from the rice. I counted the pieces. When the tally was correct, we crammed the glittering baubles into Bob's English bag, a particularly smart piece of luggage of which I was proud.
 The early morning was cold, dark and mysterious. Detectives guarded our cars. our own men were armed nevertheless I felt that hateful eyes glared at us from thickets. A water drop glistening on branch suggested the sheen on a gun barrel. It was absurd to imagine that danger men, aced us but knew that I would con

 HELENA, Mont An Adamless Eden is fast rounding into shape near here
 Plain man will be forever taboo.
 It's at the permanent camping site of the National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women's clubs, on the Little Blackfoot river in the Helena reserve.
 There, in the Rockies, far from the sight of man, the women will swim, hike, fish. and play this summer.
 A permit for the camp has been ob- tained from the federal forest serv- ice by the Montana branch of the Organization and plans for the erec- tion of the camp are being rushed.
 These plans are in the hands of the four girls who compose the offi- cial board of the Montana organiza- fion: Hazel Davis, president; Bertha c. Carroll, vice president. Bessie Davey, secretary and Mabel J. Hum phrey. treasurer.
 The camp will be named Camp Lena Lake Forrest, in honor of Mrs. Forrest of Detroit. national president.
 We will let men put up the four log cabins on the site, but after that no men need apply says Miss Car roll. The camp is 40 miles from civilization, but I think that we'll be able to take care of ourselves. Bears Yes. there are some of them around, to be sure, but we're not a bit wor- ried- There must be some excitement in camp life, you know.

 Daddy's monolog didn't help to re- lieve the events of that ride through the unlighted park He reviewed the events of the early evening for Nor rison's information:

 Poor Chrys had looked white and weak before we left my bungalow. The paralysis of her vocal cords was not the sole result of her fright. Jordan Spence had been watching her, too. He sat by her in the car. |. I was so anxious about Chrys that i never notice who had taken care of Bob's bag with it's load of jewelry. What we feared happened very suddenly.
