circumstances seem to bob up unex-
pectedly every year.
Scarcely less preoccupying Is the in
dustrial situation. Many fruitful for
eign markets, such as Russia and China,
were virtually lost to Italy through the
vicissitudes OF the war and its after
maths, and many others were greatly
curtailed owing to the high prices neces-

The cost of production cannot BE re-

apple of the Facist governments eye.
However, various government agencies

also on capturing new markets both

and most objective-rninded TO whom to
submit thorough examination of the
question even with regard to interns-
tional economic relations. To him rests
the last word. But II the protectionist
fever must prevail Italy will necessarily
be forced to defend herself and enact
counter protectionism which actually Is
on the minimum basis compared with
other states and will be forced to ask
the whole Italian people to practice
severe economy IN purchasing superfiu-
Gus merchandise from abroad"
One OF the most preoccupyins factors
In Italy's economic situation concerns
agriculture. since despite the fact that
Italy Is pre-eminently farming coun-
try ut Is estimated that three-flfths of
the total population earn their living
from products of the soil), the infporta
ton OF food stuffs weighs heavier than
any other item on the national trade
balance. Imported foodstuffs account
for about 81 per cent of the national
adverse commercial balance.
For the past four years extraordinary
ehorts--through what is known as the
grain battle-have been made to correct
this evil. But so far italy has not had
much luck with the grain battle Last
year there was fairly good average
crop. but the stabilize ton Of the lire at
a high level had such an effect of reduc-
ing the price of wheat--in comparison
with the prices of fertilizers and other
materials which the farmers had to buy

that something radical has got to be

While the minister of national econ

he nevertheless did not hide certain
anxiety felt from the fact that Italy's
national trade deficit for 1913 amounted
to 100000 lire, 2,500,00 more than IN

AROUND THE CITY
BY MAMIE LANCASTER.

were many non-dancers in those days.
Dancing was serious business. One had
to be much more clever with ones feet
than at the present time. There were
much-too-long dresses to avoid tripping
over, and ones chin must never acci-
dentally bump into the Elizabethan
collars around milady's neck.
Anton watched the silhouettes glide
like phantoms along the wall-all in
perfect rhythm. He listened to the
uniformed band at the further end Of
the hall and marveled at the brilliantly
decorated dress of its leader. They were
playing "AleXander's Ragtime Band"
now, and the silhouettes had faded away
as tiny electric bulbs flooded the hall
with light, The lights were always
dimmed when the band played waltz
it was more inspiring, and they gen.
orally played blue Danube" The
waltzes lasted sometimes for nearly an
hour, and they were billed on the pro-
gram card as "marathonS." So you see
we of the jazz age are not so modern.
Anton began to wish he had never
made that prayer for the gift of dance.
So he became disguised and went on
home. He has never danced since.
Twenty-Five years passed and the
world gave birth to Johnny jazz"
Anton found himself at the door of a
dancing establishment, surrounded by a
group of jazz hounds with feet aching
for the dance. The band had thrown
away uniforms and were attired in
tuxedos. Violins, cellos, a new brass in
strument that looked like a Chinese
pipe to Anton, but was really a saxo-
phone, and numerous string instru-
ments had taken the place of the great
collection of brasses.

yelled but dut-dut-de-do?" and Anton

was bewildered. Anton's feet beat time
with the orchestra and he stepped
within.

gang greeted him. Anton giggled and
sat down in an armchair, saying he'd
rather watch. He thought how diff
cult it would be to step on a girlie'S
dress now without receiving good slap
in return. Skirts had certainly taken a

OIL COMPANIES USE /
MUD FOR REFINING
Humble Clay Proves of Great
Value in Varied Branches
of Industry.

To most people mud is to be despised
and avoided, but certain light gray
mud known as fuller's has proven so
valuable as an oil refiner during the
last few years that it is sought the
world over.
So great is the demand for this clay
in the petroleum industry of Texas
that two leading oil companies there
have recently opened large fuller's
earth plants near Midland, where the
clay Is being mined in enormous
quantities. The refining qualities of
fuller'S earth are traceable to its high
absorbent properties. The old method
employed was simply to allow the oil
to percolate through a bed of clay,
which absorbed impurities. This slow
method, however, has been replaced by
the preSent-day process of mixing the
oil and clay, which can be quickly
separated by means of huge filter
presses.
The earliest use of fliller's earth
known to science was in 1895, when
the cloth factories Of England employed
it for fulling or cleansing wooden cloth,
whence came its name.
Additional uses of fuller's earth, &C
cording to the United States Bureau of
Mines, are for the manufacture of
beauty paste, printing gums, shoe
polish, library paste and talcum
powder. The variety of this clay
known as bentonite is believed to have
excellent medicinal properties and
serves as the base of the poultice ma
terial known as antiphlogistine. When
mixed with water, forming kind of
jelly 1t is effective in reducing swelling
and inflammation in the feet of horses.
donkeys and other beasts of burden.
Fuller'S earth also Is used extensively
in manufacture of toilet soaps, concrete
waterprooflng and asphalt preparations,
as well as for defining hides in the
manufacture of leather. Combined
with molten sulphur and put into
water. when the mixture breaks up into
very fine particles increasing in volume
about twenty times, the clay forms a
powerful insecticide, use for which it
is much in demand.
Until about score Of years ago, when
fuller's earth was first produced COM
mercially in Florida, the United States
was entirely dependent on foreign sup
plies, the best grade coming from
England. Now practically every State
is producer of this clay, with Arizona,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada and
Texas leading. The increase for the
past year was Is per cent in quantity
and II per cent In value as compared
with the previous year.
