A Blessing in Disguise .

|ONGESTED conditions at District OF Co.
" lumba high schools this year may result
in some good after all. Crowded classrooms make
it necessary that Central High pupils attend school
IN two shitts-thc first starting at 7:3o a. m.
Weary parents presume will protest force
iully over this arrangement. They are likely to
be more angry, in fact, than they were when the
ragtime daylight saving schedule was adopted in
Washington last spring. And every fair-minded
person must admit that it is unjust to force A
housewife with large family to lose few hours
OF sleep every weekday morning to get her chill
drcn to school time.
But there are other considerations which NAV
turn an apparent curse into real blessing Think
OF the benefit the children themselves OF getting
up at o:3o every morning to eat breakfast and be
at school ono hour later. For long time we have
had suspicion that school boys and school girls
OF the average American city arc in danger of
growing up with lack Of backbone That is. we
tear many OF them being reared into the sort
OF persons who consider $50 ungodly hour to
quit their blankets-partculary on cold winter
mornings.
1t is we'll enough that the boys and girls of
Washington learn mathematics, geography, Latin
Ireek' French, German, etc. But mastery of any
OF these subjects is not particularly important
compared with mastery OF the difficulty of getting
up at 5 a m. High school students could be
taught no more valuable lesson 1t breeds self
reliance, courage. aggressivencss and better health
AS before stated, for the pupils we have no
pity whatsoever For their mothers our feelings
arc diherent But why must the mothers of bows
ana sifls VINO arc old enough to attend high school
bother about getting breakfast for them corbino
their hair, etc? Let them get out of he'd drcss
get breakfast and go to school entirely on their
own responsibility. And let the school authorities
punish them for being late. The mothers, who
work hard all day and all evening, have the RIGHT
to sleep But the boys and girls will be far better

'Fascisti Have Been Good Thins
For Italy" Says American.


Despite violent fighting between
Fascisti and extreme Socialists
there is not the remotest chance
that Eolshevism will gain the upper
hand in Italy" according to Josepn
Spencer kennard. an America
authority on Italian life and litera
ture.
Excepting for possible sporadic
disorder here and there, we NAV
look for gradual quietinG down
throughout the kingdom, and
eventually 4 period of encouraging
tranquility which will be due in
large measure, to confidence result
ing from renewed spirit of patri-
otism. As political party with
many wings the Italian Socialists
are much weaker than they were a
lew years ago. On tAe whole. IN
my opinion. the Fascist have been
good thing for Italy"
Dr. hennard. now in New York,
has spent large part of the last
thirty years in Italy. His novel.
"Memmo." is study of Socialism
during the Florentine riots. Two
other novels. written in Italian. and
third in Latin. have not had Eng
hsh translations.
The Fascist. he explains. are n
brotherhood which arose in Italy
after the war, when there was a
great letdown in general morale
Al this time the Socialists and
Communists seemed to get control
OF affairs and had the largest com
pact voting body in the chamber of
equities.
Everywhere in Italy" DR.. Ken
nard continued. there was a great
revulsion of feeling and general
dissatisfaction owing to the belief
that In the war settlements Italy
had heen sold out We all remem-
Der the international intrigue over
f1ume. of course, and Socialists as
we'll as Communists made a great
point about this alleged selling out.
To extend their power they at
tempted an alliance with Bolshey-
lists. but an investigation in Russia
brought terrible disillusion 10 the
moderate Socialists. With this
came apathy on the part of many
Italians. who seemed to be dis
couraged from trying to da ony-
thing constructive. Yet from an
other part of the people came a
great rebirth of patriotism, which
resulted in party composed OF
Italians who took the name Fascist
"a form of militant nationalism-
to uphold national interests and to
oppose the Socialist, Communist
and anarchist parties.
I'm a general way. this may be
understood by Americans who fol-
low international developments. bur
1t is necessary to keep the facts in
mind. Meantime another party
arose to oppose Socialism in the
name of the Catholic religion, ana
they have taken the name of the
Popular party. But the Fascist is
the party of combat for upholding
militant nationalism in Italy and
putting down the disintegrating
socialistic propaganda"

Greece early in 1915. He was hear;
and soul for the allies as Greece
was being rapidly forced to decide
her policy. King Constautiue
treigning the FIRST time) was lis
tening TO the kaiser. however. and
the opposition OF the king finally
led 10 an open break between him
self and Nenizelos and the resig-
nation of the noted statesmen. In
1917, following the overthrow of
the Constantine government, Neni-
zelos became head OF the provis-
ional government, and Constan-
tines second son. Alexander. be-
came king.
In 1920, at a general election,
Nentzelos' government was repu-
dated and Constantine returned
to the throne. Alexander died from
the effects OF a monkey bite.
Nenizelos represented his coun-
try at the Versailles conference
and was one of the dominating fg-
ures at that historic gathering OF
statesmen. He visited the United
States in the fall Of last year with
his wife TO study political condi-
tions here.
Since 1920 he has been practically
in retirement politically in Greece.

BIZ o. o. Mcintyre.

PARIS, Sept. H. The drive to
Versailles by taxi takes 45 minutes.
Here time rolls back to the days
when extravagant kings brought
France to its,knees. Going through
st. Cloud the driver would frequent
Iy cry, La Boche!" and point to the
shells imbcdded in the ancient
houses.
Outside the gates OF the palace
courtyard stands an army of guides,
map and souvenir sellers. Versailles
is a bleak city that seems to have
lost heart. The wide streets are
almost deserted. Among its $4,000
inhabitants some 40 900 are said to
be royalists-clingingt to the ancient
regime from which many of them
descended.
The courtyard in which the revo-
lutionists marched from Paris cry
ing for bread is one of the most i'm
pressive historical spots ! have ever
seen. Our guide was a most excel
lent liar. He pointed to two rooms
where Louis XIV died of smallpox.
When / suggested that II might
have been impossible even for a king
to die in two different places. he
said: 20! M'sieu! You know not
the glorious France" All of which
is true but not highly Illuminating
Another guide with a party OF
tourists pointed to a row OF rooms
In a wing Of the castle and said
they were occupied by Du Barry and
Nine. Pompadour. My guide said 1t
was where Louis XIV did most Of
his reading. II was a sort of study
So I dismissed my guide and got
another who was even worse. All
he did was to point to various OBJ
jects and say, Yer pretty" / don't

Paris lost a good Apache, for ne

The famous gardens Of Versailles
and the lake that was built in three

their beauty. Perhaps II will never

VALUATIONS MADE
Few Changes in Assessment
Books Made by Board Of
Equalization.

There will be no reduction in
the total assessed value of prop
erty in Marion County because Of
the review OF assessment books now
being made by the equalizatl ion
board. IF there are any changes
it will be to increase the assessed
values" was the statement made
by member of the board yester-
day
The board has been sitting for
the purpose Of hearing complaints
for about seventeen days. and will
remain in session for the same
purpose until July 81. The board
his made many changes in the as
sessed values, but very few reduc-
tions in values have been made.
The only real loss in assessed val
ues was made necessary because
of certain property in Paw Pw
District which the government has
taken and which had to be marked
off the assessment books.
The board has received many re-
quests to go to various sections
of the county to view property.
This they are unable and not re-
quired to do, because of the short
period and small remuneration
Comparatively few complaints
have been made. By far the larger
number of complaints have come
from Warrington District, with
