ITALIAN SCOTS
At BRAND PACT
MuSsolini'S Brother Calls Ii
PlatOniC Gesture

Milan, Italy, Aug. 81 R-Signa'
ture of the Kellogg BRAND treaty
was platonic. respectable ges.
ture, but will have no influence in
the course of history" declared Ar
naldo Mussolini, brother of the pre-.
mier, in a speech to officers OF the
fascist militia during recent military
maneuvers.
The speech was published today
in Arnaldo's paper Popolo DItalia
There is no need to laugh at this
act, signed with much solemnity by
various great powers. Italy includ-
ed" the speaker said. but if we
want to be sincere and also severe
we must say that there is in this
Kellogg pact and in manifestations
for its signature a mutual banter
ing with much rhetoric and trans
parent insincerity.
If we want to be benevolent In
our judgment We can say that hav-
ing signed the pact at Paris, in the
capital Of people which for four
fifths of the last hundred years nave
been ever making war. 1t was a pn.-
tonic gesture. The papacy was right
when it said the kellgg pact is not
a novelty but already the thousand
year old patrimony Of the church of
Rome.
Anyway, it is true flat politics Is
an ugly fiction and all this cutlery
against war while We arm ourselves
secretly against an act of reprehen-
sible insincerity in this twentieth
century allows the supposition that
it is an adroit. crafty attempt at sal
walton for those nations already ar
rived and which do not want anxi-
cites nor anyone to disturb their
slow digestion of gold and domin-
ions"
Arnaldo declared Italy places her
greatest reliance in her armed
forces. He extolled the fascist mill
tia as the defender Of the new fas-
ciSt code

Crowded Cemeteries
 Bring Motor HchrseS

Paris bracing herself to motorized funerals. No one seems really to want fast gasoline service at such ceremonies but the city cemeteries are about full and new ones are Icing opened several miles outside the city limits.
 The Prefect of the Seine Depart ment finally has brought himself to present the matter to the City offi- cials and the newspapers are dis cussing the measure.
 Distance from burial grounds probably will be the deciding factor for the French are loath to modern ize traditions that they hold sacred. Some, however, long have argued that a spirit of humanity should abolish long funeral processions afoot in bad weather. Doctors say much illness follows winter funerals because it is the custom for rela- tives to walk bareheaded behind the horse drawn hearse and to stand uncovered at the burial ceremony, often long.
 Frequently sobhing women fair!'' stagger along, supported on either side, at funerals. It is quite proper for aged or i'll persons to take a carriage but it the walking behind l the hearse that truly fulfills the old tradition of mourning.

PariA Feb. II. R1France. 1t ts admitted regretfully. is reaping the whirlwind her novelists have sowed with their immoral'ties.
 The "Parisienne." long pictured aa a plaything in babylonic Paris. real ly is a good woman. mother and wife, say the French. but her repu- tation abroad too often rests on the frtvolity and sin that entice and en- certain in story and play.
 In Berlin, the Lokal Anzeiger, French papers report, all but held up the French woman. recently. as the model for her sex. This pleases Clement Vautel, well known writ -er, and others, but it calls from them confessions that French books. dramas and magazines, dealing al- most invariably with the froth of vice, have given the world picture of the women of France which justi- fies critics in thinking of them too lightly.
 How Is the world to know there is a virtuous France" asks one, eff test sellers and even the Comedie Francaise always present the under world and social dross."

Aged Dancers Find Support In Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland. R-Protest4 against old men dancing with young women in the public dancing halls has brought out the dancing teach CTS in favor of men as we'll as wo- men participating in these social affairs just so long as they are able to get around.
 It was contended in the younger circles that the old men-"bald heads" they are called-should con- fine themselves to bridge and ''pa- tience," leaving the fox trots and other quick steps to the girls and boys.
 J. R. McEwan, teacher Of danc- ing. has come out strongly in defense Of elderly men and women dancing and in this he is backed up not cnly by the dancing teachers but by the managers of the dance halls.
 McEwen contends that many of the elder men and women have grace and agility which few young people can surpass
 "One of my most successful pu- pills this season is a man 72 years of age who can beat all the young men in the performances of the lat est dances" he said, explaining His stand. Fat and stout people, he add. ed. are very light footed and usll. ally exceptionally good dancers.

Unemployment situation Hard On The Job Seeker

London. R-England's unemploy- ment situation is hard on the job seeker even when he has decent record. When the searcher for work has a criminal record, his chance is virtually hopeless.
 An Old Bailey judge was astoun- ded recently when a former convict brought before him asked that he be treated as an habitual criminal, in order that his sentence might be longer. The convict. Arthur Edwin Wood, who had record for bur- glarly, explained his strange plea from the dock.
 "A man cannot live on fresh air. y he said, "even if he is an old con- vict. A man like me, 54 years old. homeless and friendless, cannot get work when there are thousands of younger men tramping the country who have no criminal record. When I gave myself up I had not tasted food for 24 hours.
 You do get soap and water ln prison, something to eat and some- where to sleep.
 'I am a very poor thief and 8 worse beggarman, hut unless you can get me work it is no use my being outside"
 The judge, declaring he had never known a like case, granted the ex' convicts request and sentenced hin to long term.

Paris Chorus Girls Put On Winter Garb

They are putting lots of clothes on the chorus girls in all the biz music halls of Paris this winter. Even the dancing troupes-most of them English-wear stockings in ad- dition to opaque shorts and blouses and even fancier. heavier costumes.
 In the summer time, when tourists fill more than half the seats in all the big Partisan girl-and- mus.c shows, the scores of women who fill the stage in many of the scenes are for the most part, nude to the waist. But this winter the music halls are most modest and, all the critics say. more beautiful, splendid and artistic than ever before.
