Fashions in earrings have changed

of earrings and Abraham is said to
have presented a pair to Rebekah.

| lini's campaign to clean out the
| Sicilian Malta. though it already has
| obtained brilliant successes with the
arrest of bandits in mass. is meeting
| with the same silent and mysterious
resistance encountered by American
police in similar efforts.
Italians who thoroughly underst God
Sicilian conditions say the problem is
one of months and years. rather than
of weeks wspaper reports that

IIussOlini Insistent.
What is really important is not any
one brilliant police operation but
Mussolini's insiatence that the Malta

Previous governments have under
taken the task. bit the Mafia s politi-
cal influence invariably has check

Problem Complicated.
The whole Malta problem is compli-
tol hN- tho that no society is
not only a criminal association but is
also mutual aid society with roots
deep in Sicilian history and senti-

of large masses of honest people.
Mussoini's problem not only is the
repression of banditry. cattle stealing
