government has dared levy war, taxes
similar to those in vogue in America
and England. = ,..7,,'
And now comes an extraordinary
story of the actions of the peasant
folk living on the little farms near
Teano, between Rome and Naples.
Mussolini had named a royal COM
missioner to collect taxes, many OF
which were two years in arrears.
So one day the farmers came to
town, beat up the commissioner, set
fire to the town hall and endeavored
to destroy the tax books. The Ital-
ian government was forced to send
great numbers of troops to the dis
trict to restore order.
The London crowd is the most
patient, the best-natured, tho
mcst considerable on earth. In New
York we have suffocating crowds in
the subway every day, but We never
get used to it.
We curse the authorities who al
low it and we curse The transporta-
ton trust. In London ordinarily
most people get seats in the subway.
But recently an unofficial strike.
not countenanced by the unions, ser.
iously crippled the subway service.
The result was Londoners got the
unusual and uncomfortable sensa-
ton of New York rush hour period.
But nobody cussed either the COM
pany or the strikers. People got on
and off the trains as quietly as pos
sible. And everybody tried to help
everybody else. There was no ap-
parent loss of temper.

ADVENTURE OF

the woods when the funniest little
man you ever saw appeared at their
feet.

rily. Don't pick me, please. I'm
not a wild flower-1'm a fairy
ooh, you are?" cried the Twins in
surprise, dropping down on their
knees. 1--WE love fairies"
"Well, I'm glad of that said the
little fellow, "for l expect you'll see
good bit of me before we're
through"
Through with what?" asked Nick.
"Well, you see it's this way" said
the fairy, sitting down on a stone
and crossing his knees. "My name
is Zip-Mister Zip-and I'm going to
run an amusement park for the wood

"And what did she say?" asked

Zip. "I'll tell you what the Fairy
Queen said. She said, GO to the
