ITALIAN YOUTH
FOUND GUILTY IN
HUMBERT ATTACK

BRUSSELS, Sept. q. Un)-Fer,
nado Derosa, the youthful Italian
anti-Fascist, today was convicted
and sentenced to five years solitary
confinement on charge of at
tempting to assassinate Crown
Prince Humbert of Italy.
The attack on the Italian crown
prince occurred h e Humbert
came 10 Brussels to pay court to
Princess Marie Jose of Belgium.
whom he later married. The attack
occurred near the tomb of the Tn
known Soldier.
Derose, youthful and somewhat
inconspicuous as compared with the
dazzling group of socialists who de-
Tended his action, has assumed all
responsibility for the shooting.
- intended to kill Humbert be-
cause he was a Fascist, > the youth
explained. He added that he had
hoped the event would mark an in
! telleetual crime.
/ Outweighing the youth s own ac-
| tivities, the trial developed into one
| of the greatest attacks on Italy's
Faseism that has come in any Eur
| opean court in years. Three Social
! lists attorneys defended Derosa.
Indicative Of the tenor Of the de-
fense was the statement OF one Of
| the defense attorneys:
This trial is Fascism, not De-
rosa. AS a child in Rome Derosa
was given a pistol by Fascis.s and.
in handling it, he killed a friend.
He became Socialist and was per
secuted.'
Among the witnesses for the
young Socialist were Frencesco Nit
ii, twice premier of Italy, and Sen
ator Louis de Brouckere, Belgian
| Socialist. The witnesses attempted
| TO show that acts committed under
the regime of Premier Mussolini
were responsible for Desosa's at
tack on Humbert.

Professor Todd
Makes Statement

Elmer A. Todd, director of the
Imperial Valley Academy of Music,
is anxious to have the general public
understand that persons using his
name to sell musical instruments in
this region have no right to do so.
For the past few days some seven
representative or q musical institu-

gethcr with certificates emitting
huyers to course of instruction. At
least one of the statesmen has been
telling customers that this instruc'
tion would be given through Todd q
Academy of Music. This is not the
case, as Todd has nothing to do
with the concern and wishes II
clearly understood that the school
has no right whatever to use his
name.
The matter is being taken up with
the local authorities in an effort
to put a stop to such false advert's

TUTTLE PLANS
TO WAGE WAR ON
TAMMANY HALL
BY THOMAS G. FORD
United Press Staff Correspondent.

ALBANY, y. Y. Sept p. (U,Hf-
Charles H. Tutt1e, Republican nomi-
nee for governor of New Yor-, has
laid down the chief campaign issue
-Tammany Hall-with just as much
certainty as he dictated the repeal
plank adopted by the convention
that nominated him.
Brushing aside the precedent
which required candidate TO await
a committee TO inform him of his
selection. Tuttle flung the gauntlet
At once and today the cry of cor
ruption was hurled at Tammanv
Hall and the New York City admin
istration from Republican quarters
in the state.
Tuttle's exposure of charges
against Tammany men in the city ad-
ministration during the last six
months as United States attorney IN
New York gained him the prestige
which made his nomination 4 virtual
certainty. In his speech of accept
ance he blamed Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt for conditions, indicat-
ed he was subservient to the Wig
wan.
The fact that dry forces lacked
an understanding candidate made It
appear that thousands of dry votes
would be enlisted tor futile because
of his militant campaign against coy
ruption and his vigorous prosecution
Of all charges that came within fed
eral jurisdiction.
Although the Anti-Saloon League
the Women s Christian Temperance
Union, and the New York Civic
League were circulating petitions,
their candidate, Robert P. Carol OF
Syracuse. announced his withdrawal
YESTERDAY. Frank F. Gannett, pub
Usher, who would likely be strong
candidate, declined in advance by
publishing a statement in his Albany
paper, although he aligned himself
with the drys and pledged his aid.

OF LOWER CALIFORNIA AUTO TRIP

point we travcrsed the entire width
of the peninsula and arrived at the
beautiful town and harbor of La
Paz. The peninsula at this point is
approximately as miles in width. It
is in fact probably the narrowest nj
this point.
In La Paz we had the pleasure of
renewing our acquaintance with
Governor Augustin Olochea and re-
ceiving from him permission to take
moving pictures in the Southern Dis
! trict.
From La Paz enc may proceed
either south along the gulf to the
end of the peninsula or III westerly
! direction back to the Pacific Coast
and thence to the end of the PENN
sula. We went by way of the gull
to San Jose del Cavo, the most
! southerly town on the peninsula and
then proceeded west to the tip end
| of the peninsula to Cape San Lucas.
We then proceeded back up the west
coast and through the mountains
back to La Paz,
From La Paz we came back to Ii.
juana, making many side trips and
as far as possible avoided using the
same road which we had taken in
going south.
Ford Economical
We kept an accurate record of our
gas and oil consumption and also of
the water used in the radiator. We
covered exactly 2J9S miles on tn"
entire trip and used exactly 1872 gal
Ions of gasoline, making gasoline
mileage of slightly over l. miles to
the gallon. We have every reason
to remember the exact number OF
gallons used, for We paid minimum
of 35 cents per gallon and a maxi
mum of 60 cents per gallon, Amerl-
can money.
We left FL Centre with five quarts
Of fresh oil in the crank ease and
drained the oil from the crank ease
at La Paz, adding no oil III the mean
time. AT La PaZ we put in Quarts
of fresh oil and made the circle
around the end of the peninsula and
return to La Paz and the trip back
to San Diego without adding any
additional oil. In other words, ID
quarts of oil were used for the trip
Cf 259S miles, making a record OF
1896 miles per gallon of oil.
With a motor. in the ear we
were able to watch the temperature
of the engine. The water never
boiled once on the entire trip, and
inasmuch as we were careful not %
put water III that might be at all
SALTY, and carried a canteen for this
purpose, we know that we added
only two gallons into the radiator
| on the entire trip. The last So9
miles into San Diego was made with
| cut adding any water at all and tn"
engine was running cool at all times.
Our total repairs consisted in re
! placing a small coil spring in the
front engine support. This was done
| in La Paz at cost of 80 cents
| Mexican money, or - cents Amcri.
can money.
We travelled the entire length of
! the peninsula and returned and in
so doing crossed the entire width o.
the peninsula from gulf to the Pa
cific, or vice versa, five times oh
the trip south and four times on the
trip north.
We have only the highest of praise
for the Ford. II seems to be just
the ear for the trip and the roads
that are encountered. About 90 per
cent of the ears found below En-
scnada are Model A Fords, and La
Paz is said TO rate third among the
cities of Mexico in ears per capita.

Soft collar attached shirts
are practically universal. Plain
white and blue, mostly, and

Oxford and broadcloth are the
favorite materials. with madras
for second choice.
Small-patterned ties with
lighter figures on dark grounds
lead striped ties. And the

Plain color ties are as much

FrOCks Are a
Necessity
By WILMA LavILLE

This winter promises to be q
more social season than we've.
had for many years. There will
be lots of entertaining and q
great deal Of need for formal
and Semi-formal clothes. Wash
ington will have a theater sea-
son, and all Of us must look to
our formal wardrobe.
Many occasions require
gown that is not too formal for
late afternoon, yet will go to
an informal dinner or the thea.
ter. You probably know the
type as the Sunday night frock
because it is so good for enter
tanning at home on Sunday
evenings as well as for wear
ing when you play bridge and
for restaurant dining. This frock
may be Of almost any fabric
that is feminine, such as chif-
fon, flat crepe, metal or velvet.
The lines are rather simple,
but details make all these gowns
interesting and usually bit ro-
mantle.
Today we have sketched a
particularly youthful Sunday
night frock and with it one that
may be worn by a mature
woman. On the right is frock
of black flat crepe studded with
green brilliants. It has little
capelet that makes it suitable
for afternoon, and yet 1t Is
sleeveless so that 1t may be
worn for informal evening oc-
casionally. The belt sparkleS
with the green stones that or
nament the whole dress. The
cape and cowl neckline is lined
with green silk crepe.
The other gown. which is suit
able for a woman Of almost
any age, is Of flat chiffon,
which is a new weave with q
less crepey effect than the old
chiffon. 1t Is black with q
flesh-colored top that is exquis-
itely beaded. The lines are
very youthful but are easy to
wear and flattering. These
gowns are both medium in price
and are from a Washington
store.
Miss LaVille will gladly an.
swer any question about these
frOcks or about fashion II you
will telephone District S26O, Ex.
tension 165, or write, sending 4
self.addressed, stamped envelope.

plain, box backs. Some have
half belts. And while you usually
see them in tan, there are plenty
Of the more formal blues and
oxfords.
Younger men have taken to
wearing the fly front Chester
field, too, of blue or oxford mel.
ton cloth with self or velvet col
lar. This, too, is a straight box
coat or very Slightly fitted at the
waist. The same kind Of ccat
many older men are wearing.
Sack-Suits
What suits are they wearing
most? Easily the two or three
button sack-suit with notched
lspels and natural shoulders as
in the illustration. Some prefer
the roomy easy-draping back;
others the slight suggestion Of
fit.
With these suits, six-button
vests with rather high-cut neck
line. Full trousers, 20 inches at
the cuffs. And the most popu-
lar materials are the unfinished
worsteds, cheviotS and tweeds-
In grays, blue-grays and browns.
But they're also wearing more
double-breasted suits than they
used to wear. Easy fitting, six
button affairs that are quite En-.
glish looking.
Campus Fashions
Knickers are important fash
ions on the campus. And odd
coat and trouSer combinations
brown tweed coats and gray
trousers, for example-are seen
at many of the Eastern univer.
sites. Slip-on sweaters, plain or
small patterned, are equally
popular with both long trousers
and knickerS.
Just as with the older man,
the snap brim, raw edge felt
with pinched or tapered crown
is the first choice of these we'll
dressed younger men. For for
NAL wear, the derby is preferred,
