BRIEF SKETCH
 0FI1TALY'SN STATESM

What kind of man personally is Benito Mussolini?
 David M. Church, London core spondent, gives some close personal glfmpses of the new Italian Premier in the accompanying sketch.
 The article is based on observa- tions made during Mussolini's recent visit to London for the conference of allied premiers.
 Benito Muss0lini is a riddle. Short of stature, quick in his movements, almost cat-Hke, he is constantly mOv- ing. He gives the impression of being the busiest man in the world. He wants action, demands action and gets il in his town side-show,' but fails to "peD up" the performance of the travelling circus of the Euro pean premiers.
 Contact with Mussojint leaves one unsaUsred. It is next to impossible to catalogue this man. If hand shakes are hereditary, then he has inherited the strong hand-shake of his blacksmith father. He grips your hand as though it were wise, making a semi-courtesy that is neith- CT regal nor undignified, it is purely "Mussolinian."
 Looking square into your face, his great round black eyes roll and seem to query, "Well?'
 In halting English you begin to stammer.
 With a wave of the hand Mussolini indicates that he does not desire to converse in English, for his lInowl- edge of that language is not as wiz as he would like.
 You blush and stammer some more and then address him in your best htgh-school French, knowing no Italian.
 Half lolIing against a table, he seems impatient with your laborious questioning, then finally anticipating your query breaks in. His voice is a bit husky, it is 1ow-pitched. He speaks in most beautiful French. There is bit of staccato in s4s speech. His sentences are terse He answers in phrases when possible.
 A sharp question finds Mussolini with his eyes closed in squint. He bites his lips, rolls from side to side against the table and finally smiles, showing a beautiful row of teeth, losses his head in laughter and replies in humorously evasiYe manner.
 A secretary, who feels that you are taking too much of the great mans time, bustles about. He indj- cates that the conversation must end. "Non, non!" says MussoIini, pushing tho secretary aside. At least he has tolerance, this Italian leader of men.
 You begin to suspect that maybe Nussolini is acting, displaying his dramatic power, Then some earnest statement from his completely uoaets this suspicion.
 Finally the conversation ends, Mus so'ini bends in his own brand of courtesy again, once moro you get the blacksmith grip. NussoIini stares you in the eye, rather de- fiantly, seeming to say:
 "Weu, what do you think of me-"
 Still stammering in high school French, you make your departure en- tirely baffIed. Is this man new i Caesar? Is this man only an0thor flash in the pan? You strive to an- swer these questions for yourself and fail
 Someone has said Mussoljni is "a modern Napoleon" Someone else has said Mussolini is ca moving picture NapOleon." Let's wait and see.

LONDON PROFESSOR SAYS
 RED HAIR MOST POPULAR

LONDON, Jan, 30.-The ancient pre- iudice against red or ginger hair received @ sad blow when Professor Karl Pearson, featuring to London school teachers, stated that his conclu- sion, based on the study of thousands of boys and girls in kindergarten, pub lie and private schools was that to- day red-headed boys and girls were the most conscientious, athletic and popular.

GLASGOW TENANTS
 LIVE RENT FREEs''''

GLASGOW, Jan. 30.-House tenants in Glasgow have started "no-rent' strike, and it is estimated that land lords are losing nearly five million dollars weekly in consequence.
 The strike arises out of the Rent acts and a decision of the House of Lords. The Rent acts gave landlords the power to increase their rents by 40 ped cent. The House of Lords, however, said the imposition of the increase was illegal unless the tenant had first been given notice to quit.
 Not one landlord in a hundred had given this notice. And now the ten ants have made up their minds to pay no more rent until the unlawful in creases have been worked off.
 This means that they propose to live rent-free for the next nine or twelve months.
 Landlords are now trying to get fresh legislation adopted which will reverse the decision of the House of Lords.

TITANLUM IS LITTLE KNOWN.
 BUT USEFUL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. - As the average layman what titanium is and the probabilities are he will stare at you blankly moment and wave his head negatively. Yet titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the solid crust of the earth and, ac- cording to the United States Bureau of Mines, enters into the manufacture Of many diverse materials ranging from gas mantles to armor plate and from false teeth to smoke screens used for concealment purposes in modern warfare
 U. S. Interested
 Few clements have been accorded more attention by the bureau and de veloDed greater interest in the past decade than titanium. The substan- tialIy pure metal has been difficult 70 isolate and thus far has been little employed commercially, but the use of alloys and chemical compounds of titanium has increased notably in re- cent years.
 Substantially pure titanium has q sfIyery white color like that of poi ishod steel. It is hard and brittle when cold, but at low red heat is mal- IeabIe and can be forged readily like iron.
 Titanium and certain of it's com pounds are important factors in the manufacture of arc-lamp electrodes, filaments of incandescent light and gas mantles. For use in the dyeing industry it was exploited first in Eng land. Certain of the titantum salts are powerful mordants which produce brilliant and stable colors. Salts of ti- tanium have been used also in dyeing shoe leather and do not embrittle the leather, as do salts of iron.
 Rutile. or titanium dioxide, is used for coIoring glazes for pottery and enamaIe. A little rutfle has been cm- p1oyed in making glass. The mineral also finds application in making arti- ficial teeth to produce the color re- Guirod for matching.
 Useful Pigment
 The use of titanium for pigments has developed rapidly during the last seven years, and. in the opinion of the bureaus experts who have studied th" subject, the element will be used in the future to a great extent in the making of coloring matter. Titanium- white has been found very promising for pigments owing to it's nOn-poison- ous nature and large covering ca pacity.
 Tjtanium enters prominently into steel manufacturing. For many years it has been used in the production of Bessemer rail steel. It is used in great amounts for scaveHging many kinds of steel and in tho making of sheet steel. It is also used to a con sf9arahlo extent in the production of high-Qualtty structural stoe1s-auto&2o- tive steels for instance.
 These are only a few of the many usas of titanium. It is present tnvis- ih'v in your home, office, factory, street care, automobiles -- in fact nearly everything.

ond St
NJ. L. Freeland opened up his store
for business on Nov. LIST, 1929. and
for the short time he has been In the

excellently conducting his store, of
which the volume of business is In
ereasing daily.
This meat market is the most mod
eEp in the state, and the equipment is
,R-to-date in every respect. Mr.. Free
land also handles fruit, and fresh
vegetables. and it may be said in re-
gard to the vegetables that they are
always fresh as they are constantly
being sprayed which keeps them as
fresh as II they had been grown in
your OWE garden.
The fact that Mr.. Freeland takes
very great pride in his store is evil
denced by the class of fixtures and
coupled with the fact that he is a
hard worker and pays strict atten.
ton to the smallest detail will no
doubt assure a greater success for
