1t is understood that Congress will
be asked to appropriate $oOO,0oo to
enabl the bureau to carry on the
extensive activities contemplated. On
Friday the Haugen farm relief bill
amended almost out of resemblance
to its original self. was rejected by
the House. 212 to 161.
There were So absentees. The
Tincher and the Curtis -Aswell farm
relief bills have been withdrawn from
consideration by the House.
Once more the Dyer anti-lynching
bill has been laid to rest, this time
without the immemorable antecedent

The EOrge.-I regret that l lack
space to do proper honor to the
Norge's great achievement. The more
striking details of that achievement
were as follows:
/. The Norge was the first air
craft to supervolate the top of the
planet from Europe to Alaska.
,. She was the first of lighter-than-
air craft to reach the Pole.
3. She sent the first radio message
from the pole.
T. The Norge adventurers were the
first of men to gaze on the Pole of
in accessibility. or the ice pole.
s. They We're the first of men to
pass completely over the "unexplored
region"
The exploit has gone considerable
way toward demonstrating the prac-
ticability of commercial air routs over
the polar regions.
MiscellaneOus.-The recently recon
structed Jugoslav cabinet headed by
Ouzounovitch has resigned.
Greece has new premier in Gen.
Paraskevopoulos. who was COM
mander- in chief of the Greek army
under Venezelos.
1t is understood that general cleo
tions will soon be held in Greece.

thirteenth and last Sultan of the
House of Othman, died in eyile at
San Reno, Italy. on May 16.
General elections were held in

There was a sense of violence, of
passion, something Of the exaggera-

otism, something of the bombastic

press. There was always a tempta-
ton to laugh at what was obviously
grotesque and, yet. the temptation to
laugh was easily stified, because
underlying the absurd there was a
sense of force and power and, withal,
! violence.
Nothing like what happened in
Rome could happen in Washington,
in London. not even in Paris, where
a mordant sense Of humor compels
even revolutions to avoid the ridicu-

employed in czarist prisons. with Eng

into Ave groups Of five letters, I and J

so on to z, which is five taps, pause,
and five more taps. The prisoners de.

In the old prison in the fortress Of
Peter and Paul in Petersburg, some
cells were built especially with cup

From the outset you knew of Mus
Solini that the voice was not the man,
that the words were not words alone.
There was not only the sense of being

What Mussolini said ] could not

was the now familiar message Of Fas-

reiterated stimulation of the spirit of
