MUSSOLINPS DEEDS

Premier Mussolini has made his
first speech of the electoral cam
paign. He says he will make no
other speech until the votes are
counted. He tells the italian peo-
pie that Fascism has saved Italy.
1t has.
1t has prevented a communist
revolution. IT has ended the
strikes. 1t has reformed the tax
organization. 1t has put the peo-
pie back to work. 1t has strength
ened the Ira.
1t has done all the things which
every sensible man in the country
knew should be done, but which all
the sensible men in the country
put together were unable to do be-
cause the political machinery was
not responsive to their needs.
No matter which lever they pull
ed, they could not get the right re-
suits. No matter for whom they
voted, they could never get par
liament that would act sensibly.
The parliamentary situation in
Rome was even more scrambled
than the congressional situation in
Washington.
The people were so dissatisfied
that they were on the verge of a
communist revolution. Mussolini
forestalled that with Fascist rev.
olution. which almost instantly
gained the support of the people.
Mussolini then did the things that
all the sensible men wanted done.
That's why Italy has made such re-
markable progress in the last year
and a half as to gain the worlds
admiration. - Chicago Journal of
Commerce.

ING GAMES
While covering the world series
last year this expert editor decided
what the universe needed was train
ing for baseball fans.
The seats were hard. Baseball
seats always are hard. If we had
practiced sitting on the floor at
home, instead of using chair, we
would not have noticed the hard
seats.
The. men on either side of us al
ways ran out of matches by the fifth
inning. If we had practiced carry
ing matches we would not have had
to ask these men for them and they
would not have run out.
BY the seventh inning we were try
ing to think up new names to call
the umpire. A list of strong but re-
spectacle cuss words in our pocket
would have made it the lucky seventh
for US.
These are only few hints. Watch
