ROME, Italy, June SIS Mussolini
9 sincere patriot or only an egotist?''
8 one Of the questions most frequent
" asked about the Italian dictator.
g cannot be answered II you insist on
making the two contradictory. There
3 no reason to suppose that MusSo-
Uni does not sincerely love his coun-
try. There is also no reason to sup
nose that he does not enjoy exercising
The vast power which he Yields. But
there Is, further, no reason why he
should not do the one while doing the
ether. Certainly. he is no CRATER. He
sincerely despises money. He is to-
day, outside of his salary ($400 q
Elonth) and his expense allowance, a
Door man.
This contempt for money often goes
with genius. The genius is so in
tensely occupied with his chosen work
chat he has no time to think OF money,
much less to spend it. If genius is an
infinite capacity for detail, Mussoiini
p a genius.
Directs Six Portfolios.
Besides the large numbers of
speeches which he must make, corner
stones which he must dedicate, inter
views which he must grant, trips
which he must undertake and dinners
which he must attend, he is RESPONSE
Rle for six ministries in the cabinet,
including the adjustment of all wage
scales and labor disputes, and must
Keep In order his very obstreperous
Fascist party Of 10000 excitable
young men. To do all this he must
either handle the details himself or
ind the man he can trust to do it.
! Perhaps the core of Mussolini's
character is physical. His vital dynamo
Has so much more horsepower
than that of ordinary men that work
IL q necessity to him as food is to
most. While he was convalescing from
his intestinal ulcer, and living on
milk and mush he was taking on one
new ministry after another. Now he
sometimes works intensely through
the whole night and appears fresh at
his desk in the morning. How is 1t
POSSIBLE to distinguish. whether this
vast expenditure of energy Is for self
ish" or for patriotic" purposes?

Greatest Suffering Known
Meanwhile Chicago and the vast

they have not suffered in years,
principally because the sub-zero
temperatures, unusual at this
season of the year, spread over tho

many people unprepared.
Relief agencies were kept busy

by the drifting snow.
According to the weather report
today, the front of the cold wave

Lobster and Crab
Shells Made Base
OF Artificial Silk

Even though transmutAtion of
base metals into gold may ::c-e..- be-
come an established fact. conversion
of the bony structure of the lobster
and crab shells into artificial silk
is now commercially possible. the
Commerce Department is advised
by Trade Commissioner Daugherty
at Berlin. The inventor of the proc
ess for turning the bony fabric of
the lowly lobster and crab into
silken hose and for other uses is
DIR. G.. Kunike. a German chemist.
The inventor claims that when
"chitin" or the bony structure, is
brought into a collodial solution
and passed through a filter press,
Il can be drawn into artificial silk
threads of greater tensile strength
than cellulose silk. The process is
said to be of little importance in
Germany, which lacks the neces-
sary raw materials, but the Chesa-
peake Bay crab should furnish
plenty of artificial silk, according
to Commerce Department officials.
