 MUSS0LINI REPORT
Il DuCe. Renders Account Of
 Stewardship at Rome

Rome, Feb. o5.-(P)-One of the cnce faced the Fascist grand council which meets at Chigi palace tonight with Premier Mussolini presiding.
 First on the program was the re- port of Premier Mussolini. covering his activities as 1taly's prime minis ter. in both foreign and domestic fields.
 There was feeling that in this report he would refer to the recent negotiations leading to the signing of the treaty ending the Roman ques- tion with the Vatican at the Lateran palace two weeks ago. If so. it would be the first official reference to the act by the premier outside a purely governmental body and would pre- cede submission of the treaty to the Italian legislature.
 Following the premier Deputy Augusta Turati. secretary of the Fascist party. was slated for a report of the party's activities during the past year. This was to be followed by what most, considered, the business of the evening-sclection of the na- tional ticket of 400 candidates for the chamber Of deputies. This last will constitute the Fascist party 'slate" with which it will face the Italian general elections on Sunday March A.
 The meeting does not convene un- til 10 D. m. H p. m. E. s. T.) The meetings which often continue until very late arc strictly secret. Little is known of the following day. of the party's "Foglio d'Ordini," or order sheet.

Don't count
 onCarrie!

Do menstrual periods make you stay-at-home certain days of every month? They needn't. And you need not endure one pang of pain If you'll accept the assistance of Midol.
 Midol makes menstruation an in- cident! No pain, not even discom- fort. is necessary now. Women who used to have the very hardest time have found this to be true. Midol is marvellous product; the work of specialists. It is not a narcotic. But it stops all pain in five to seven minutes. Taken in time, the pain never starts. All drugstores have Midol, in aluminium pocket case for fifty cents, so it's folly to suffer!

Iou see his name rarely in the
bcx scores any more, but Eddie Col
Inns, king-pin Of second basemen
when the Old Athletics were win
ming worlds championships. is a
vital cog In the New AS. As staff
aide to General Connie Mack, COL
Inns takes over a good deal Of the
work. Brought up from his college
days in the Mack school Of thought,
Eddie is a keen strategist himself,
a quick-thinker With the same in
tuition that Ty Cobb possessed for
doing the right thing.
Now that Cobb has retired, COL
Inns, IN his twenty-second consecu-
tive year in the majors, has the
longest continuous service recbrd VI
any player still in uniform.
Recently I asked Collins the
secret Of Mack's ability to main
tain so keen a grasp Of baseballs
swift moving affairs after so long
a term rs manager Of baseballS
swift moving affairs after SO long
a term as manager and at an age
when most elderly gentlemen pre-
fer ease or golf to directing ar ex-
citing ball game fro ma hard, hot
benchc.
You know. it never ceases 20
amaze me-the real enthusiasm
that Mr.. Mack retains" replied
Eddie. "Of course he has forgotten
more about the game than most Of
us will rel know. yet he retains
the memory Of everything essen
tai. The style Of play has changed
but Mr.. Mack has kept up with
1t. / have never seen anyone 50
consistently keen in sizing up sit
uations and plays. SO able in hand
ling a variety Of players, many 81

its head off for one man-Connie
Mack. OF course we all like to De
with a winner but to a man the
AS think more of winning this PEN
nant for Mr.. Mack than they 10
for any extra money or glory they
may get out of IT,"
Like many veterans. Eddie Col
Inns regrets the way the free-hit-
ting era of baseball has ruined most
Of the old inside Stuff"
Il don't say we we're any smarter
in the old days but the game Of Is
to 20 years ago certainly put more
premium on fast-thinking and
quick action tlCn nowadays" ne
remarked. "A big flock OF runs
NJ can knock the best-prepared
piece Of strategy all over the field.
Il think the reason for a lot Of
the hitting is lack Of confidence
among many pitchers aft:r they
have been battered up. You know,
pitching is so per cent confidence,
anyway. with around 3 pc. cent for
ability and 2 per cent for the
breaks Hitting is just about the
same"
It's the same in golf and most
any other sport. The best shot
maker IN the world. If he loses con-
fidence for one reason or another,
will start clubbing his strokes
There may be some dispute about
how far Babe Ruth can drive a
golf ball but there is 100 per cent
confidence on the Babes part that
he can knock 1t a mile" as well as
