 Italians are leaving in such large numbers that many have been un- able to book direct passages by the steamers that ply between Austra- lia and Italy, and have taken pas sage over English lines that call st Malta, intending to disembark there and pay fare on another ves- sel from Malta to Italy.
 The Greek Consul, Mir. Man iachi, said he had never known industrial conditions to be so bad for his countrymen. Never before had there been so many Greeks returning to Greece, where. under present conditions, they could live better than in Australia.

CALLSSENATOR ABOUT CHARGES
 CAPITAL IS WET
Senator Howell Is Told to Produce Facts by
 President Hoover

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Com- missioner of Prohibition Doran took issue today with Senator Robert B. Howell, Republican of Nebraska, that the National Capitol is one of the wet spots in the country because Dry agents are lax in their activities.
 The head of the Enforcement Bureau said the agents were doing good work in Washington as in any other place in the country and conditions were on par with those in other parts of the Nation.
 Doran made his view public after President Hoover called on Senator Howell to lay before the Department of Justice definite facts upon which he based his assertions in the Senate that the Prohibition law was not enforced in Washing ton but could be enforced if the President insisted upon it.
 Commenting on Senator Howells declaration, Doran said T have every confidence in the Prohibi- tion Enforcement officers in the District of Columbia"

hNGORA, Turkey, Sept. 23.-Th, super democrats of the new Tur- key are setting on foot movement to have all private schools in the republic turned over to the state.
 In true democracy, the leaders of this movement argue, private schools should not exist as they are symbolic of social distinctions. All secondary schools must be run by the state, they conclude, in order that social inequality may be avoid ed and also in order that uni formity, "the essence of the repub- lic," may be obtained !.
 Even the strict governmental in- spection of all private schools, Turkish as well as foreign, which was inaugurated by Kemalists, does not ensure the desired uni formity, according to the private school abolitionists.

TEXAS MAN CROWNED
 BABY CARE CHAMPION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The infant care champion of Texas county-a man-rates a paragraph of praise in an official publication of the United States Children's bureau.
 He is given his need in pam phlet titled The Promotion of the Welfare and Hygiene of Maternity and Infancy"
 The championship title was con ferred on the baby-tending Texan by a Sheppard -Towner nurse when mothers of the community unani- mously agreed that their lone male competitor had bested them in the field of child care.
 Telling how he sterilized bottles and prepared feeding formulae, he exhibited at a baby conference his II -month-old son, pronounced the picture of health" by the child experts present. The mother died when the child was born, and fath- CT, hiring man to do his farm work, devoted himself to the care of the infant.
 Two other fathers, one a Califor- nian, and one Kansan, were con- sidered worthy of mention in the annual maternity report from Washington headquarters.
 The three remained anonymous in the report.

SUPER TURKS ASK IMPROVEMENT
 RUN ILL SCHOOLS

apostles of pure democracy who are filling the press with their appeals, some eighty foreign schools-Eng- fish, American, French, Italian and German-would come under the ban as well as a considerable num- Der of schools now supported by the Greek, Armenian, and Jewish communities.
 The American colleges would not be affected as the 100 per cent state control is projected only for primary and secondary schools.
 Much as the Kemalist govern ment may wish to satisfy this new thirst for pure democracy, it is doubtful whether it could for some time to come finance the Turkish and foreign private schools in question. The utility of these schools in Kemals war against il- literacy is too evident to make thGir abolition likely.

American-Plan Park
 For Weary Britons

LONDON, Sept. 23.-A national park on the American plan is ad- vocated by Lord Bledisloe, Chair man of the Imperial Grassland As- sociation, whose visits to the na- tional parks of Canada and the United States have convinced him England should have at least one such playground.
 England does not lack public parks London's Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath, for instance, are world famous. But there is no national park comparable to those in America, where tents, cabins, parking space and other accom- modations are provided.
 Lord Bledisloe's plan, which was proposed in the House of Lords, contemplates the setting aside of the Forest of Dean as England's first national park. It would be a sanctuary for wild flowers, birds and harmless animals as well.
