Italian Premier
Pays Surprise
Visit to City TripOli

Tripoli, April 13.--(P)-The festival
Of rejoicing, in which the Islamic pop
ulation of Tripoli was celebrating to-
night the termination Of the austere
Ramadan period of one month. was
converted into brilliant manifesto
ton when Premier Mussolini decided
to pay surprise visit to the quarter
of the city inhabited by the Mussul-
mans.
The premier's appearance at the gate
OF the ancient city accompanied by a
guard of honor composed of Lfbyan
Escaris and Savaris was followed by
q great rush of Arabs through the
narrow lanes where the celebration
had been going on since the Ranadan
had been ushered out by a salvo Of
guns at o'clock this morning. Pa
rades, in which huge flags were car
colored tribal ones with star and cres-
cent, singers, dancers and fakirs,
which had been fitting through the
streets all day long. converged to meet
the premier.
After welcome by the Arabian dig
nitaries, Mussolini was conducted
through the Turkish market. where he
examined the long row Of booths, con-
tanning silks. satins, rugs. beautiful
colorful stuffs from every corner of
the Moslem world, and conversed
through interpreters with the dignified
merchants, who were seated cross
legged.
The premier stopped to purchase
several things and received also nu-
merous magnificent presents.
The most interesting moment Of the
trip was when Mussolini at the lay
ing Of the cornerstone of building
on an agricultural concession, resumed
his old Job Of stone mason. He found
the plaster mixing faulty and, taking
the trowel from the hands of work
man, he mixed the mortar and laid the
stone himself. He remarked that the
workman would have been discharged
If he had been under Mussoltni's old
employers.
Before resuniing his trip he asked
for a hoe and with this he tore up a
piece of earth as "a symbol of Italy's
intention to utilize the huge territory
of Tripolitania.

InJuries"7

THESE words are attributed to Luz
= cius Anneus Seneca. Roman PHI
losopher and son of Marcus Anneus,
one of the most eminent rhetoricians
of his day.
Born In Corduba, Spain, about the
beginning Of the Christian era, Seneca
was taken to Rome at an early age
and there gained some distinction as
an advocate and was made quaestor.
At the height of the turbulent politi-
cal times, Seneca fell victim to false
accusation against him by the nefari-
Gus MessaIina, and was banished to
Corsica At the expiration of eight
years of exile, he returned to Rome
where he was intrusted by Agrlppina
with the education of her son, Nero.
He was made consul A. ID. 81.
A plot on the part Of Nero to poison
the rising philosopher failed, and he
was drawn into the famous Pisonian
conspiracy and accused. At Roman
trial typical Of the time, Seneca was
adjudged guilty and given the priv
ilege of selecting the manner by which
he might meet death. He opened his
veins and finally succumbed A. d. IS.
During the period in which Seneca
was at the height Of his prominence,
statesmen of the ancient world did
him homage and his PHILOSOPHERS even
today are quoted widely. That he
welded tremendous influence in the
courts Is undoubted, but his life was
one constant warding off of impend-
ing danger, threatened by those who
feared him and were jealous of his
popularity
Pompeia Paullina, Seneca's second
wife, at the time Of her husbands ex-
ecution expressed the wish that she
might die with him, and had even
opened her veins to accomplish this
She survived him, however. by several
years.-W Wayne p. McMurray.

KATE CHASE

TWO generations ago Kate Chase
= born August ID, 1910, was known as
the most beautiful woman in America
was probably the most envied one
too, for she had wealth, great beauty,
devoted husband, three charming
children, and apparently great happi-
ness. Today she is almost unknown.
Her mother had died young, and
when she was fifteen, she was called
upon to superintend all the elaborate
entertaining which her fathers posi-
ton as governor of Ohio, necessi
tated. She was exceedingly popular
as hostess and the belle of the state.
She is described as having red gold
hair and hazel eyes and the marvellous
complexion that goes with this type.
and certain exquisiteness of person
When she was twenty, her father
was made a senator and Kate moved
to Washington, where her fame as q
beauty became nationwide. Shortly
afterwards, she met and fell in love
with the new governor of Ohio, Will
liam Sprague. The war was on, then,
and Sprague enlisted, SO it was not
until 1868 that the pair were married.
Kate continued to be the most sought
after woman in the capital spending
her time between Washington and the
pala1ial home her husband had built
her.
Then her one fault wrecked her hap
Diness: she had never been taught the
value Of money, so she ran through
her husbands fortune; misunderstood
ings arose, and finally the two agreed
to divorce. Kate and her three
daughters went to Europe, and after
a time returned so poor that her very
home had to be sold. However, old
friends saved it for her, and she fin
lshed her life in comparative obscurity.
