WOULD MAKE ITALIAN ..
 IMMIGRANTS DESIRABLE

Rome. March 2s.-Premier Musso- lini and his governNent are facing energetically and expertly ltaly's prob- lems, among them that of emigration. The question is being studied from all sides. including the choice of suitable omigrants for the different countries requiring additional labor: the .sani- tary, moral, and educational prepara- tion of those who propose to leave their native country: the encourage ment of emigration; the choice of suitable lands to which emigrants should be directed, and the protection and assistance of the emiSrant when he is far away from home in strange and unknown surroundings.
 Italian overseas emigration rose to 17s.000 during 1928, an increase of s6.000 over the preceding year. Of these, 94,0o0 went to the Argentine: 5s,000 to the United States; l5,0o0 to Brazil: 6,4oo to Canada; 2.soo to Uruguay: l,150 to Australia; HOO to Central America. North American immigration restrictions have driven a large proportion to the Argentine. while governmental care and regula- tions have enabled many agricultural laborers to And suitable remuneratiye work in Brazil. In pursuance of Mussolini's principle of assisting those who have served their country during the great war, the commissioner general of emigration assigned 5000 American permissions to ex-com- hatants, and the government has been gratifed to learn that the percenta ge of undesirable emigrants has been lower among Italians than in any other nation. .rt-
 The sanitary preparation of Italian emigrants has enormously improved during the last few years; there will soon he special emigrant houses in Naples. Genoa, Trieste and at Bardo- necchia which are provided with hot and cold baths, elaborate systems of disinfection and cleansing, and sani- tary attendants, who medlcate emil grants and start them off in thor ouehlv healthy and clean state,
 An international conference will be held next May in Rome to suggest and agree upon regulations for the further protection and assistance ot emigrants, and the arrangements for sending home the money earned by them,

AUTOMOBILES TAKE OYER

San Francisco. Marchf 2s.--san Francisco is shaving its' sidewalks The automobile has come to be so common that mpsratively.s few San Franciscans walk. To combat traffic congestion the man at the wheel is 10 take some of the space formerly dedi- cated 10 the man sfoot,
 In population of approximately eoo,oo personse within the oity's area of 42 square miles, there are eo.ooo motor vehicles.
 One of the pedestrian ways being shaved is Sacramento street. where the Vigilantes hung outlaws in the early fifties. Traffic congestion has become so great. however, that city officials have decided that 12 main arteries of automobile travel must be provided through the city.
 When San Francisco was laid out. it's founders made exceptionally wide streets. Market street, the principal business thoroughfare. being 125 feet wide. but the automobile has upset all calculations for the future.
 Thus the policy has been adopted that when any through streets are re- paired, the roadways will be widened by cutting down the sidewalks and forcing all superstructures, such as poles, into underground conduits. On streets where the sidewalks now have a width of 15 feet it has been found that pole lines carrying telephone and light wires use up five feet of this space. so that these sidewalks can be cut to 10 feet without interfering with pedestrian travel. .-,..

AFGHAN PROBLEMS
 APPROACHING END
Indian Viceroy Feels Strained
 Relations Have Been Altered

Delhi, Feb. es.-The strained relations between India and Afgha mis- tan were discussed by the Viceroy. Lord, Reading, in opening the second session of the Indian legislature here, and at the same time he expressed anxiety for the future of the Indian reforms.
 Alluding to the rumors of the all leged intentions of the British govern ment toward Afghanistan. and of the latter in relation to the situation, the yiceroy declared them to be without foundation.
 Certain questions have. however, been under discussion between the two governments" Lord Reading said.
 Those discussions are now nearing a satisfactory solution. The discus sions owe their origin 10 outrages, notably those at Barshore and Spin silla, committed on our frontier by Wazirs domiciled in Afghanistan n |. They were complicated by the execu- ton of these outrages from base in Afghanistan and by the removal of loot to Afghan territory. In some cases also the perpetrators were de- serters from the British Indian mili- taxy units who had found employ ment in Afghanistan.
 The raids were serious in their re- suits. In addition to private losses four British officers and eighty-one Indian Eepoys of our regular militia Indian units lost their lives. subse- quent to these events, two Afghan subjects murdered two unarmed British officers near Landi Kotal and fled to Afghanistan where they were arrested by order of their government, but later escaped from custody. Meanwhile. the members of the Ko- hat gang who were not Afghan sub iects, the men who had murdered, Mrs. Ellis and abducted her daughter, made good their escape to Afghan territory.
 The outrages to which have made allusion were completely liqui- dated during the present month: as delicate negotiations were in progress, you will realize that 1t was not

DAY, ARIZONA ACE, FOR
FORDS AND RUCKSTELLS

You don't have to go home to your
sweet mama or join the marines if
you want to start fight; just tell
"Dud" Day of the Ruchstell Sales &
Manufacturing Co. that a Ford won't
climb a tree. He goes to the holy
writ to justify his statement, for, says
he, what besides a Ford, Ruckstell
equipped, could go up Mt. Sinai on
high 2"
"Dud" Day has just made COM
plete tour of Arizona and has not yet
been in low gear. The Ford plane
tary transmission and the Ruckstell
axle makes an accomplishment of this
kind possible.
Day is an Arizona boy, who left
Prescott in 1916 and joined the royal
flying corps as cadet and was dis
charged in 1919 a captain, having
seen service in England as an instruc-
tor and as war pilot on various
French fronts. He was credited with
seven enemy aircraft. Day is full of
praise for the Ford car, especially the
planetary feature which is considered
the backbone of Ford construction. He
refers to his experience with the Rolls
Royce airplane motor, the finest built.

They use planetary gear reduction
between the drive shaft and propeller.
This planetary gear is the principle
embodied in the Ruckstell axle which,
like the Ford gives one fool-proof

MISS COSTIGAN TO TAKE
LONG VACATION IN SOUTH

Miss Mary Costigan, accompanied
by her young nephew, Billie leaves
this evening, to be gone till after the
first of the year, for much deserved
and long needed vacation in San An
tonic, Texas, where for many years
with her family she spent the winters.
Among her many friends and the mild
climate of the winter playground she
hopes to attain complete rest. Too
close application to business and Sc
we're illnesses have undermined her
health. She has personally selected
the bookings for her Orpheum pro-

she could forget business entirely and
have the benefit Of complete freedom
of mind. In the meantime her many
friends will be hoping for her quick
recovery and looking forward to her
return.

Dear Mr.. Breen:
Joe Lee is here with his Navajos
and making a big hit in the Lasky

costume and pictures were made to
great effect. They are being featured
in several prologues to pictures. Last
night we all went to see ''North Of 36"
which was put on here, having been
finished only yesterday. Wonderful
picture.
This morning the boys held prayer
to adjust themselves to the situation
here. 1t was difficult to keep them
"put" at the hotel. They wanted to
all sleep in one room. Left their
lights burning all night and got In
several wrong rooms. One guest used
a shoe for protection and lady APP
pealed to the proprietor for a "watch"
beside her door But they adapt them
selves remarkably to the conditions
and will have a lot to tell their folks
on their return home.
Hollywood is a great place and not
so bad as painted. The people are
human here just as elsewhere and we
are being royalty entertained.
Sincerely,

It is predicted by those competent to
