This sounds like the final against setting wages by

TROUBLE
IN ITALY GROWING

NEW YORK, June 21.--Cables from
Italy indicate that troubles are null
tiplying for Mussolini and his black
slhirted fascists.
Added to these troubles are inter-
nal divisions with their explosions and
leaders quarrels and recriminations.
The fascist now declares it must
purge itself OF the less desirable ele-
ments," but these elements that de-
stroyed trade union halls and cooper
alive stores refuse to be ousted and
the black shirts are losing control OF
their movement and lowering the pow
er of fascism because of this loss Of
discipline.
Mussolini favors new election in
the hope that his administration will
be endorsed. But again his troubles
increase because of his proposal to
abolish proportional representation.
This is another manifestation Of Mus
solini's contempt for everything par
liamentaTy or democratic.

FORD SALES ABROAD
INCREASING RAPIDLY
Unprecedented Sales In Scandinavian
countries-5eIalum ls Rapidly
Absorbing Lion Trucks

DETROIT, Mich, June 21.-Every-
where abroad there is an increasing
demand for products of the Ford Mo-
tor Co. and it includes the whole
Ford line-cars, trucks and Fordson
tractors.
During the first four months of
the year foreign sales Of Ford cars
and trucks reached a total Of 76,142.
This Is 1888 more than were sold In
the same period a year ago.
In the same months Fordson tractor
sales mounted to 4,534, more than
twice those of last year when 1894
Fordsons were sold in foreign mar
kets
An outstanding feature is the re-
markable demand for Ford products
in the Scandinavian countries. All
through Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den sales are showing an unprece-
dented increase and motor transporta-
ton in these countries is making
greater strides forward than ever be-
fore.
In Belgium, too, there is an unusual
demand Tor Fords The picturesque
Belgian horse and cart is rapidly CIV
ing way to the Ford one-ton truck,
for commercial and agricultural inter-
ests in Belgium now are keenly awake
to the advantages and economy bf this
means of transportation and are turn

numbers.

26-YEAR- OLD SON
Of LEONARD WOOD
MAKES FORTUNE
Plays Wall Street by Gable
From Philippines and
Cleans Up 100000,
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-In a little
more than one year. Lieut.. Osborne
Cutler Wood, son Of Leonard Wood,
Governor General Of the Philippine
Islands. has made approximately
$500 900 in Wall St. doing his trading
from Manila by cable.
This was revealed today in a copy
righted Manila dispatch to the New
Iork Times.
Lieutenant Wood, who IS 26 years
OF age, and who is aide to his father,
made his first big winning in the fall
OF 1922 when he bought Standard Oil
of New Jersey. The stock gained
sixty points, giving Wood the capital
with which to engage in other Ven
lures, which netted him heavy profits,
There being no Wall Street stock
market quotations available in Man
ila, Lieutenant Wood made independ-
ent arrangements there whereby the
necessary figures were transmitted to
the Philippines.
Lieutenant Wood was quoted in
The Times copyright dispatch as
saying his transactions were in Amer
lean securities and had nothing to do
with the Philippines.
Now he has made his fortune,
Lieutenant Wood intends to resign
his commission and enter the diplo-
matte service.
