III DTCE GETS TOUGH

Leave it to Benito Mussolini to give the
world something to talk about.
Italy is suffering from period OF de-
preston the same as the rest OF the
world. Discussing conditions at meet
ing of the national council Of corpora
tions, which links all forms of Italian
capital and labor, II Duce threatened
death as the penalty for spectators VINO
bring on crisis.
Because of the infinite evil they eX-
press as sewers of ruin and misery. they
merit the penalty of DEATH he declared.
To our American way of thinking II
seems like rather stern measures, out
when we reflect that only few years
ago horse stealing was punishable by
death, it does not seem SO far fetched.
Certainly the men who deliberately
juggle prices so as to bring on crisis
are morally responsible for the misery
they cause. And they cause plenty OF 1t;
with unemployment, fortunes ruined ana
innocent victims suffering as result OF
their greed
We cannot picture any of our Amerl-
can stock jugglers mounting the galloWs
for their manipulations, but it is certain
that several million folks would like to
see something done to them IN the way
of punishment-but they will not.

present trip being made by President
Hoover has been completed, and he IS

taken to safeguard the President while
he is away from Washington, and the
plans for doing this have been worked
out for weeks in advance by the secret
service charged with guarding him.

quite a large bag and well filled

the bag Of candy over his shoulder

be when, all Of sudden, something
very sad happened.

spilled out on the ground.

Luckily the ground in this part

Uncle Wiggily did this. The robin

BETTER OFF DEAD

Saying Il told you SO" is distinctly
bad form, but we point out that last
week this column discounted any chance
of Gordon Northcott, convicted slayer
doing anything to clear up his crimes be-
fore he is executed.
The sentence of death will have been
carried out by the time this appears in
print AS it is written Northcott has
lived up to expectations by torturing the
mothers of his victims with indefinite
statements as to the fate of the young
sters AS he delighted in torturing the
latter physically, he seems to find equal
pleasure in inflicting mental torture on
their mothers.
He may recant and tell the truth be-
fore he dies, but we doubt it. The truth
is not in him. If capital punishment is
ever justified, it appears to be fully so
in this case. We are glad that after to-
day we will never have to write or think
of his name again.

Because of its own troubles, at root

Dacca's troubles are communal and
grounded in economic conditions. For

owners and the Hindus mostly tenants.
Now the roles are reversed.
The sense Of loss is seldom absent
from the minds of the Mohammedans
and it matters not that they them

blamed for all the hard luck.

For the third successive generation Har-
ward men are larger than their fathers
The statistics are a comment on the
potential power of food, diet and en-
lightenment to bring back the Biblical
days when there were mighty men on
earth.
The finding is made at Peabody Mu-
scum by Gordon T. BoWles. 1t is based
on records of Hemenway Gymnasium
and Harvard College physical examina-
ton records.
These figures are all the more strik-
ing because the fathers were more than
a year older on the average, than the
sons, who physically outclassed them.
Nearly 5000 Men.
In comparison of the last two genera
lions of Harvard men, the boys were

included 1,461 couples, nearly 5000 men.

CAYENNE, French Guiana R.-Gold
has almost ruined this country.
The French government recognizes
this to be the case and a complete
change in government and commercial
policy is being made to prevent virtual
abandonment
1t isn't that there is too much gold,
but too much gold-digging. When the
yellow metal was found in 1853 the
farmers and the woodsmen dropped
their plows and their axes and took up
picks, and so have their children and
their children's children. AS a conse-
quence agriculture, once rich enough to
export, hardly feeds a population that
has diminished rapidly and Is now only
$4,000 for the $4,000 square miles of
fertile fields and rich forests. Among
these people are 5000 convicts and 900
government officials.
To begin with, President Doumergue,
at Paris, has signed a decree creating
the Territory of Inini," including all
but the coast region, and giving it a
new government, separate budget and
scientific commission to develop the
countrys wealth.
