MUSSOLINI MAY LIMIT
ITALIAN LIQUOR TRADE

ROME, Oct. 20.-The Mussolini
government is about to introdu "a
and pass legislation restricting the
sale of liquor.
Official figures show that the
yearly death rate attributed to alco-
hOlism Is only about sixteen per
million inhabitants, but it is stated
that this figure, although perhaps
the smallest in the world, is large
colleagues.
1t is proposed, under the new
measures, TO allow in large towns
only one establishment selling
spirits for every thousand inhabi-
tants, including hotels and restau-
rants, and to forbid the sale of
spirits after 1890 p. m.

proposition; in fact, very serious
losses have been incurred, ana grow
ers are unable to continue arabic
| cultivation In these circumstances.
We believe that the bankers and ag-
ricultural merchants, who finance so
largely farming enterprise, will will
ingly substantiate the gravity Of the
existing position of arabic farmers,
having themselves reached point
at which they are not prepared any
longer to finance unremunerat1ve op-
erations.
Science Can Do Little.
1.-THE decision of farmers in these
circumstances to reduce their com.
mitments by the conversion of arabic
land to grass lie not one hastily ar
rived at.
"At a time like the present. when
prices are crumbling day by day,
science can do little to help the
farmer.

marginal costs by diminishing pro-
duction, to divert remaining corr
mttments to the most profitable
channels, or, in q word, wherever
possible to resort TO pasteur or
ranch farming. In certain areas
large tracts OF land at present
under the plow cannot be put to
any other productive purpose and
must revert to wild wasteland.
Government Aid.
Failure Of the government to

Unemployment haunting the homes
Of our workers, men whose lot we

The claim OF the farnArs has
been laid before Premier Baldwin,
but there are no indications as yet
that the government 10 prepared
to take any substantial steps to
offer a subsidy TO the farmers, and
the prospects are that there will
be restricted planting.

ON THE HORSE RACES

That gambling has been going on in
Annapolis even to the extent of MAX
ig books and pools on horse races is
the opinion of the Anne Arundel
county grand jury. This lis indicated
by the fact that indictments were re-
turned against Paul Codd and Leon
ard Gentle, who, it is alleged, oper-
ated such business at the old Anna
polls Hotel on Bladen street. as
Two eases against the men are set
out in the jury's indictment. Bail was
fixed in the first case at 81 600 and in
the second $780,. Todd and Gentle
were released upon furnishing bail
pending the call of their cases. This
makes total of ten persons in all
hailed into court on gambling and IL
licit liquor traffic as result of grand
jury indictments. 1t is known that
true bills have been returned in a
number of other cases, but the parties
have not been taken.

SHOWERS IN WAKE OF
FINE SPRING WEATHER

After more than week of nearly
perfect weather. the prospect OF
showers this afternoon and tonight.
which the Weather Man prophesies
without doubt. is exceedingly distaste-
full to the many adherents of the var
ious sports to which Saturday after
Moons are consecrated in this city.
Minute by minute the outlook tecomes
increasingly threatening and the omi-
nous looking clouds orerhangiIg An
napolis grew larger. There is also
an unpleasant suggestion of mist in
the air.
Although a heavy rain would not
be unwelcome in the rural districts,
the numbers OF weekend pleasure
seekers who have come here for the
heavy card of weekend sports and
dances will find it matter of deep
regret that the promised should set in.
