years. The great armies which
grounded guns on Armistice day have
been demobilized, but there remains
the constant need to mobilize the
spirit Of peace. May that spirit be
with us all as we move along the
pathways of the future.
We cannot evade, We cannot for

1t is one of the encouraging the
hopeful things in this work of bring
ing sunlight to dissipate the cloudy
aftermath of war that We az a people
and Government have the helpful
and reassuring service of the Amer
lean Red Cross. Endowed with the
spirit OF that charity which heals
the body, informs and clears the
mind, ministers to the very soul of
our stricken veterans. the Red
Cross, accepting the mandate which
Congress gave it in its charter, is
with loving hand administering an
unstinted helDfulness to the dis
abled and their families.
The American Red Cros is an
organization which. with an impair

broken down all barriers. mounted
the heights and marched unfiinch-

This work iustities oUr faith in man

should pause Il moment TO think on
these things and offer up our thanks

made its appeal for support directly

MUSS0L|M LOSING
HEAD, IS BELIEF
Former Admirers Believe He
Is Being Dominated by
Worst Element.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

Bv Radio to Tha Star.
PARIS, November 1-"Either Mus.
solini Is rapidly going mad or else
the worst elements among his entour-
age have so completely domino ed
him that he no longer IL free to act
according 10 his own judgment"
This opinion was expressed to the
writer today by one of Mussolini's $
erstwhile keenest admirers. who
added:
This so-called plot is too obviously
trumped up To deceive anybody. II
was intended simply as a pretext for
dissolvins the United Socialist Party
and for closing Masonic lodges"
Inquiry Is Ending.
Indeed, Tito Zaniboni, who was al
legged to have been discovered in a
hotel room with a gun trained on the
balcony where Mussolini was to ap-
pear, was expelled from the United
Socialist Party several months ago
because the party disapproved of his
visits to the King.
But what Is more pertinent is the
fact that the inquiry into the Mat
teottl murder now is coming to an
end. and what corresponds in Italy to
a grand jury will shortly be called on
I" report indictments. Marteotti was
a member of the United Socia list

now seems probable to Whitewash

As for Gen. Capello'S connection
with the alleged plot, il is held 10 be
ridiculous suspicion. But the Fascist

they are attributed 10 aScendency of
the Blackjack element in the Fascist
Party. whose utter lack Of intellectual
powers is held responsible for the

solution of the United Socialist Party

HOOVER
Secretary Of Commerce Talks
at Weights and Measures
Conference

An address by Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover on the impor-
tance Of standards in the transac-
ton of a nations business and
discussion as to whether Ice cream
should be sold by weight instead
of by liquid measure, as at pres
ent, featured today's season Of the
eighteenth annual conference on
weights and measures at the
Bureau of Standards.
Regulation IL Urged.
The necessity for adopting legis-
lation which would regulate the Ice
cream industry for the benefit OF
the public was urged by Joseph O..
Rogers. secretary OF the depart
ment of weights and measures for
the State of New Jersey. At pres.
ent, there is no regulation for Ice
cream that calls for q definite, q
satisfactory, quantity determination
for the sale Of this commodity.
He pointed out that no patent
process is used by the manufac-
turer of ice cream, but that it Is
poured from the freezer in a soft
state, afterwards being placed in
storage vaults, where 1t is frozen
hard, so that when it reaches the
dealer it is full of air cells which
disappear when shrinkage takes
place, either through adverse eli
matte changes or when the Ice
cream is dipped or spooned into
containers for sale to the retail
trade.
Heavy Shrinkage.
Manufacturers themselves ad-
NIT there il at least a 20 per cent
shrinkage from the time 1t leaves
their hands until 1t reaches the
consumer. The dealer is conse-
quently confronted with loss due
to the fact that he Is paying for
the air. content which he squeezes
out when dispensing the COM
modify" Mr.. Rogers declared.
The character of the product, in
volVing the factor of the air con-
test, makes it practically impossible
for dealers to honestly measure out
ice cream with the assurance that
a fair return will be realized from
the money invested. He said retail
dealers make little profit on bulk
sales.
After a study Of the subject, we
favor the establishment of g. weight
basis for ice cream, and we believe
this will permit the proper and
adequate supervision Of all branches
of the industry" he said.
The viewpoint OF the manufac-
turers and retailers of ice cream
will be heard late this afternoon.
Specifications for a standard type
OF taximeter, which will prevent
errors in taxicab charges, were
also discussed today. Proposed
methods of testing such meters
were outlined by Ralph w. Smith,
of the Bureau OF Standards.
One of the troublesome factors,
both in the use of taximeters and
in their testing is the non-uniform-
ity in automobile tire sizes, he said.
He also stated that the official ex-
animation of taximeters Is a mat
ter Of genuine importance, and this
work should be undertaken at once
in communities where such super
vision does not now exist. He sug-
gested that taximeters be examined
at least once every six months.

population Of AIT, 900, il 1896 for
every man, woman and child In this
community.
$12,3O4,0OO Donated.
In eleven years the public has
given to the Cincinnati Community
Chest more than $12S04, 900, the
total number Of gifts in this period
being 4S5, ,000 About 4S per cent
of the maintenance expenses of the
agency members row comes from
gifts, the balance coming from earn
ings, special gifts. endowments, and
so on. The amount Of earnings by
agencies has been materially in
creased by wise management, while
at the same time large economies
have been made possible through
combinations of service and the
cutting out OF duplication in effort.
Because of this wise policy, more
and better social work has been
given, and the whole service has
BEEN put on a constructive basis
rather than a merely remedial and
preventive basis.
When the central organization
was first formed every agency had
bookkeeping, and it was next to i'm.
possible for any one to ascertain
any particular financial fact. But
since that time a standard system
of accounting has been introduced
in all the agencies, and this system
is correlated with that at the central
headquarters, and it is now possible
for headquarters to survey the
whole field ami to draw out from
any agency any particular financial
fact needed. In other words, sound
business principles have been intro
duced.
Sound Ideas Adopted.
1t stands to reason that a central
orgs nization which Is committed to
a definite task of promoting So
cial service and of putting it on a
high plane, will constantly be On
the alert to detect opportunities 1or
improvement and to plan for the
future. This has been one of the
most striking facts about the Com
munity Chest in this city. 1t has
studied trends and opportunities
constantly with the result that fads
have been restrained and sound
ideas adopted.
Another point in the success of
the Cincinnati Community Chest
has been the continuity of service
of many of it's board members and.
it's executives. c. M. Bookman, the
director, for instance, has been in
continuous tenure of office for ten
years, which enables him to under
stand the local field and its needs
from a splendid perspective. Many
of the board members have been in
office during the entire history of
the chest, which gives them the
same advantages.
The plan of organization is thor
oughly democratic as it must of
necessity be if all divisions are to
lave proper representation. Under
the plan here in use both he
agencies, the larger givers. the
small givers and the general public
are given proper representation on
the board 80 that the interests of
all will be safeguarded. This ar
makes 1t impossible for
any special group to control the
of funds or to impose
pet policies on the organization.

Direction Eldrfdge pointed out
there are many arguments for and

Statements have been made

Director Eldridge, however, con-
tinues to reiterate his belief that
the bright lights have made Wash

"The main trouble is that Wash

He was advised that the news
