Italian Women
Given Right to Vote
In Municipal Elections

Rome, May 15-(AP)-The Italian
deputies adopted bill today giving
women the right to vote in munich
pal elections.
The passage of the women's SUI
frage act, although it grants the vote
only to certain limited categories, is
considered the first step toward uni
versal women's suffrage for all Ital-
ian elections, and it's passage I'M
doubtedly was due largely to the un-
qualified approval of Mussolini. Nine
such bills have been submitted to the
Italian parliament since 1904, when
the first of it's kind was discussed.
All were rejected. and a majority
of the parliamentary committee al
so decided against the one that has
been adopted, but Mussolinrs suc-
port made it certainty, that the
measure would go through.

forth to develop such an industry in
Parco. While there is nothing defin-
lite as-to the establishment of such
a plant here the results of these ex-
periments are Of great interest and
enhance the possibility OF the de-
velopment of this industry.
All the products used in the man
ufacture of the bricks made in the
experimental kiln have been pro-
cured in Carbon county with the ma
jority of them coming within a very
few miles from Parco. Coloring
materials of various kinds are plenti-
full and the raw products needed for
the body of the brick exists in large
quantities.
So far common brick, fancy build
ing bricks of various colors and de-
signs have beer developed and the
results show them to be among the
best of brick manufactured any
where. Vitrifed paving brick will
be shown considerable attention as
there is a scarcity Of this particular
kind throughout this part of the
country and for the fact that a ready
market exists.
Looking into the possibilities Of
such an industry 1t Is found that this
particular one among the many has
brighter prospects tina the majority
do. In the first place, a ready mar
. ket for these products Is available,
an unlimited amount Of the necessary
raw products are easily available,
transportation facilities are excel
lent N labor is plentiful. Consider
ing hat between southeastern Kan
sas and Seattle there are no brick
plants producing vitrifed paving
brick this end OF the game should be
particularly good there being a
strong demand for such class OF
goods.
The town OF Parco Is growing rap
idly and expanding with unusual
swiftness. 1t is ideally located for
the development OF many OF Wy
