service between London and Toxic

Night flying takes an important
place in the plans, as it will be neceS-

the line to offer travellers a consider

with the railway. 1t is estimated that
with day flying only the trip from
London to Toxic would take about

specifically at least. one of the most
democratic countries in the world.
For the constitution. although often
vague. was always interpreted in the
liberal English sense as guarantee

the protection of essential individual
liberties.
Under Mussolihi this government
has swiftly become one of the most
autocratic i'll the world. All the
things which democratic consul
tuition is supposed to guarantee-free-
dom of speech, press and assemblase,
parliamentary government through
responsible ministers, elimination or
politics from the courts and civil
Service-have been abolished entirely
in theory and largely in fact.
Yet all has been done without tech
nically violating the constitution!

dawn of the 1913 revolution) has not
been torn up. Rather 1t has withered
away.
The story of how Mussolini assassi-
mated the goddess of liberty without
touching a hair of her head reveals
his expert political hand, at once bold
and subtle.
The secret of it lies in article 60 of
he constit ution, which provides that
the king appoints and recalls his min
iSters' When MusSolini's opponents
got up their courage to accuse him of
violating the constitution through his
high-handed methods he replied, in
substance: Il am n minister duly ap-
pointed by the king. who has not yet
recalled me- Therefore, anything l
do is constitutional. Do you dare as.

CONCERT IN REMINGTON

Considerable interest in being shown throughout Newington and Maple Hill in the concert scheduled for next Tuesday evening in the his- toric Newington Congregational church under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor society. The early demand for tickets shows that the church will be well filled with the friends of Rorothy Root, Signe Pet erson and the members of the CIef Male Quartet. Several from New Britain. including a number of girls from the State Normal school, are expected to be present. A repre- sentative from a leading entertain- ment bureau has written the con- mittee that he plans to hear Dorothy Root in person. Miss Root was en- joyed on the air last Monday eve ming, singing from WTIC.

MARIE AND WOMAN
 GOVERNOR TO MEET
Nellie Ross Taylor of Wyoming
 to Dine With Queen

Queen Marie's Train En Route to Denver, Colo, Nov. 9.|Pl- Per haps the most important expected event on Queen Marie's program to- day was the planned meeting of the Queen of Rumania and the United States first woman governor, Nellie Taylor Ross of Wyoming.
 Governor Ross, chief executive of a state nearly as large as Rumanla, has accepted Maric's personal invi- tation to join her party and be her guest from Casper to Denver. She was to board the train shortly after noon.
 The special train pushed toward the Wyoming line early today with those in charge hopeful that there would be no more of the series of bickerings and controversies that started before Marie left Bucharest
 The first flareup came at New York soon after Marie's arrival when prominent patrons of bene- fit performance which the queen at tended withdrew their support when it was learned that Loie Fuller dancers were to receive half the pro- ceeds. Miss Fuller, close friend of Marie, joined the train with the Hill party.
 The First Expulsion
 The first expulsion from the party came'in New York, when Frederick Moore, acting as chairman of the Maryhill museum committee, was dropped on order of Col. John H. Carroll. in charge of the tour, who objected to Moore giving interviews which, when they were printed, designated him as in charge of the tour.
 The continental journey had not progressed far before Colonel Carroll had differences with Ira Nelson Nor ris, Rumanian consul general at

FLAME OF THE YUKON'' AT
 IICEJrM

Seena Owen as the dance hall queen in The Flame of the Yukon" now showing at the Lyceum, does some of the best work of her entire career in this melodramatic story of a far north Canadian gold-rush town in the gold rush days. Her part is that of a spectacular little cafe dancer whose entire outlook on life and morals is changed by her friend ship for young tenderfoot pros- pcctor Arnold Cray, new to the movies and already a big hit, is her leading man while Matthew Betz as the villain, is up to his usual stan- dard. Scenic effects are exceptional ly good and the background true to life.
 Betty Compson, attired in won- very fine acting. as well, is the hit of The Belle of Broadway" the companion Lyceum picture. She has a dual role, first that of a regning stage queen of the nineties and then as a modern star and it is while she is a modern star that she imperson- ates the old favorite, putting over gigantic hoax on the Partisan public.
 The news reels and the latest cpl sode of ''The Fighting Marine" also are shown.
 Starting Thursday, one of the top notch attractions at the Lyceum is to be Her Man O War" starring Jetta Goudal and William Boyd, the last named having been starred in The Volga Boatman." This is a war picture but without the usual gruesome battles scenes. It's most ly all romance and thrills.
