ssMussOlini's Forum"
Is Laid Out in Rome

"Mussolini's Forum" is to be the
name of the latest of Rome's forums.
1t is being laid out in the new Fascist
School for Physical Education at the
Farnesina recreation ground on the out
skirts of the capital.
A giant monolith, weighing 400 tons,
of white Carrara marble. has been do
mated to II Duce by the consortium
which owns the famour marble quarries
of Carrara, and will be placed in Mus
solini's Forum. The great marble ODE
lisk is the largest ever extracted from
the Carrara quarrieS, and Is als0 stated
to be the largest marble monolith in
the world. 1t is 81 feet high and II
feet wide.
Counting the pedestal on which 1t
will stand, it is higher than Trajan's
Column in the Trajan Forum In Rome.
Weeks of work were required at Car
rara to find a whole piece of flawlesS
marble of such dimensions, and the
cutting operations were lengthy and
difficult
A special road will have to be built
by the Carrara workmen, who have
offered to do this gratis in their spare
ttme-to transport the colossal block
a nalSN &cVn from the mountainside
ID the port Of Carrara, whence it will
be taken by sea to Rome on a specially
constructed raft. II Duce is to compose
a motto or inscription to be chiSled into
the marble.

AT Night Schools

Italy's "dopolavoro" movement, which
Is a government institution to provide
instruction, education and entertain
ment for workmen in their spare time,
is kind of vast state evening school,
where the paternal hand of faScism
guides it's citizens even in their leisure
moments.
The word "dopolavoro" means after
work." and the movement may be called
the workmen's spare-time institution.
It organizes sporting centers for the
workmen of Italy, provides libraries and
classes In shorthand, typeWritlng and
foreign languages, together with nightly
lectures in general culture.
Founded two years ago, the nSt1tu-
ton now numbers 100000 members
and Is steadily growing. Dramatic
societies and amateur orcheStraS are
run under its direction, and every night
the three radio stations of Italy allot
10 minutes to "dopolavoro" talk.
The government believes that evening
education and leisure time study are
too important to be left In the hands of
private organizations. There Is, of
course, no obligation on fascist work.
men to join the movement.
Funds are provided by small weekly
contribution paid by both employers
and workmen, together with their state
insurance dues. This contribution.
amounting to only a few cents weekly,
is obligatory on all italian Workmen.

with the language, customs, preIudiceS
and preferences of the Suluanos as any
native chieftain is. His teaching IN
Sulu was as superintendent for 10 years
of the Willard Straight Agricultural
School, a private school established IN
memory of Willard Straight and liber-
ally supported by Mrs. Spencer OF New
port. Thus Gov. Fugate is champion
of schools. especially adapted to edu--

farming, and that will be his contrtbu-

island of Siguijof. where Gov. Forbes

water system that are models for other

BY CASTOR NERYAL.

- TRANCE enough as it may seem,
when the Spaniards undertook to
express their dissatisfaction and
~ overthrow their present form of
government, the day for such
demonstration was no other than the
day of the fifth anniversary of the APP
pointment of Primo de Rivera as head
and dictator of the Spanish peninsula.
Precisely, on this same day when all
Spain was concentrating with the
greatest of eXtravaganceS the fifth an
niversary of its dictatorial regime, the
cable revealed the amazing discovery OF
new conspiracy to overthrow the
government, the principals involved in
this conspiracy being no other than the
we'll known CommuniStic faction. This
agitation would be no less than the
sweeping tail and effects of the menac-
ing Communistic ideas which for years
have been obstructing the development
of good governments. Beginning with
Germany then Central Europe and
China, with more or less small propa-
ganda in South America, the great evil
of peace would then turn its devastating
effects toward Spain.
However, this revolutionary movement
appears as being no more than the
undetermined Vaccinations of few
professional politicians, who. tired OF
their subjugation. aimed at doing away
with the dictatorial regime. To this end,
they cloaked themselves with the shield
of Communism, as was done on previous
occasions under the names of the army
and the nobility. Notwithstanding the
fact that the present form Of govern
ment appears to be popular in the eyes
If the public, it must be taken for grant,
ed that the continuous revolts and dis
satisfaction among politicians lead but
to one conclusion. and that is: That
the dictatorial regime does not enjoy
the popularity which is otherwise at
tributed to it,
Not long ago, the dictators marital
engagement led to great comment re-
speeding the imminent retirement of the
Marques de Estella. Heated arguments
and debates among politicians attributed
far more reaching consequences to this
eventful marriage than merely those
which would customarily prevail under
the circumstances. Dates were fixed and
various prominent men were consider
ed for the vacated position to be. At the
mere thought of the probable disap-
pearance of the dictatorial regime, men

From all these opinions, judgments and
conclusions and the constant clamor
of the Spanish press. which because OF
the strict censorship is reduced to lit

be gathered-that being that the citi-
zens of the kingdom are dissatisfied

WooIworth.-The greatest achievement
of the latest expedition to Mongolia
under the auspices of the American
Museum of Natural History, under the
command of Roy Chapman Andrews,
was the discovery of considerable bony
fragments of an extinct animal far
larger than any other animal known to

the brontoSaurus. the diplodocus, the
StemoSaurus or the triceratoph, larger
even than the baluchitheriun, hitherto
deemed hugest; twice as big as Bar

tons. Two front teeth found measure

For a variety of reasons, no doubt. His

to disease of the pituitary gland. CAS-

the climate changed, the supply of tree

more to the point, Woolworth was a

ANIMAL more fatuous than the dodo,

Rough statistics tell the story of the
rise of Moscow and the fall of Lenin-
grad. Once the population of Mos
cow was approximately 100000 and
now it is 100000. Once the popu-
lation of Leningrad was 100000 and
now it is 100000, or little less.
OF course, the cities were always
very different. Moscow is individual,
both curiously shoddy and curiously
fiamboyant; Leningrad is cast in quite
an ordinary mold-it might be Copen-
hagen. Moscow is an ASlatlc camp,
frozen into immobility on the vast
plain; a camp built outward from a
fortress, bound by concentric rings
which were once walls and now are
bouleyards. Leningrad is western city
with wide streets rectangularly designed,
city built as a whole and for all time.
The difference between them is prob
ably more acute now than it ever was.
The change in population explains 1t.
Moscow is damned, facing probably the
most serious housing shortage in Eu-

| Taisho Tenno, which means Emperor
of the Era of Great Justice.
On December %. 1926, Hirohito held
his first formal audience. CARRIED in the
uniform of generalissimo of the army,
with the imperial insignia at his side
and accompanied by the Empress clothed
in deep mourning he read his first an
nouncement to the assembly, declaring
his succession. This is in no way to be
confused with the coronation, which
takes place only after the formal
mourning period has elapsed. There
must exist no break in the administra-
ton of affairs of state, and therefore his
first audience took place but three days
after the death of the Emperor. Aside
from the heavy grief and strain of the
funeral and the taxing etiquette of
mourning, the imperial duties were, in
the main, but a continuation of the
duties of the regency, for Hirohito, as
regent, was Emperor in all but name

usher in automatically the newly created

NEW over the topsy-turviness of the East,
and it is with great hesitancy that one
calls attention to the fact that the
Japanese coronation is not coronation
in the Western sense. There is no
crown, and If there were, there would be
none in the land exalted enough to
place 1t on Hirohitos brow, for he is the
highest priest of his country 1t is an
enforcement which consists of a series
of ceremonies rather than a single
event. These ceremonies are wrapped
in great antiquity, of religious origin,
and for that reason make fascinating
study. We of the West have borrowed
and adapted from each other until our
several coronations possess but a single
pattern. The Japanese, in their detach-
ment, have held purely to the customs
of their ancestors and the result, far
from topsy-turvy, is an expression pos
SesSing traceable cause and meaning.
The Perry expedition, which inaugu-
rated the first Western contact, set forth
in 1853 and accomplished It's treaty in
the following year. Since that time
there have been but two enthronements.
The first took place in 1868, when the
country was just emerging from tile

feudal period and still on the whole en-
tertained superstitious fear of the for
eigner. The second occurred in 1915,
when Taisho Tenno became emperor,
and was the first one which granted at
tendance to accredited foreign repre-
sentatives. It was left to his son to be
the first of the imperial line to leave
his land and visit the West. So it takes
no sage to realize that what little color,
if any. the West has laid on these cere-
monies may be considered superficial
and may be credited to japanese in
diligence.
In 1872, in order to free more COM
pletely the imperial family from the
power of the shotgun, the capital was
removed from Kyoto to Toxic. the
eastern capital Kyoto remained the
religious capital and the emperors con-
tinued to be enthroned in that city. So
since that time there has developed an
elaborate professional etiquette. The
new Emperor will leave the imperial
palace in Toxic on November 6. Ac-
companied by the Empress, he will slow
