THE New York Times of January
5, carried two columns on the
death of an old parasite queen of
Italy who passed away in her 18th
year. Mussolini, the renegade social
list called her demise an "incompar-
able catastrophe" We are told she
is sincerely mourned by the italian
people" The death of ten thousand
useful workers would not bring the
publicity that was given to a woman
who never performed a single useful
deed in her life. She was born with
a golden spoon within reaching dis
lance and never had to strain
muscle or rack her brain at the task
of making a living.
THE same paper gives over two col
umns to the marriage of a jazz
composer and the daughter of the
head of the Postal Telegraph com
pany. The jazz artist started life
Juggling .suds in a bowery dive and
developed his vocal chords singing
to the soused guests. He observed
the growing jazzmania craze; learn
ed to supply the demand for sugges
tive melodies and became a million
aire. Now, he has married into the
financial aristocracy. If the Ford Of
song is wise he will sprinkle a few
millions around the churches and
watch the lords anointed seek ex-
cuses in scripture for sermons dwell
ing on the merit of the newly rich
man who did not forget Jesus in the
days of his fortune.
