DINO CRANDI OF ITALY TO MEET
 HOOVER AGAIN
Brilliant State Dinner at the Capitol Last Night
 Disarmament Is the One Important Problem
 To-day
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Stan Correspondcnt)
 Washington. Nov 19.-(UP)- Dino Grandi, honored in brilliant state dinner. last night was to climax his friendly visit in the American s capital in new discus sions to- day with President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson.
 These discussions were expected to strengthen the ties between the Italian foreign minister's homeland and; the United States which are alike on the major international problems vexing world powers. . Grandi's visit here has been of a lighter nature than that of either Premier Laval of France or Prime Minister Ramsay Mcdonald of Great Britain. The reason is that the United States and Italy have no quarrels. Hence conversations become a dispassionate. impersonal discussions.
 Conversations at White House dinner last night carried still fur ther the cordial discussions Mir Hoover and his Fascist guest began yesterday. Disarmament and the economic situation dominated. the talks.
 MT Hoover and stimson also talked over to-day's program. It was decided that Grandi and Stim- son should confer first and that the president would make an appoint ment for the late afternoon.
 Grandi. and his charming wife were invited to-day to have lunch | with the Undersecretary of State | Ia xS1 a SxKla aA fA the American press later, perhaps l to throw further light on his con- versations with MT Hoover and Stimson.
 l A formal reception tonight at the Italian embassy will be the last function on Grandi's program. From the embassy he will go to the Union station to board a train for New York. He will spend the next week there, in Philadelphia and Baltimore. .sf. !

Earth as Seen From Above

The following is a quotation from
Professor Piccard's story of his trip
to the stratoscope: ''At an altitude
of 10000 meters the earth is a mar
velous sight. Yet it is terrifying,
too. AS we rose. the earth seemed
at times like a huge disk. with an
upturned edge. rather than the globe
it is. The BLUSH mist of the at
mosphere grew red-tinged and the
earth seemed to go into a copper-col-
ored cloud. and then all but disap-
pear in haze"

Leprosy in Lower Animals

There are no records of leprosy
having been transmitted from rats
to human beings. either by bite, as
sociation or other means. There Is
disease of rats known as rat lep-
rosy. but it has not been shown con-
clusively that it is the same as lep-
rosy that affects human beings. If
pet rat appears to have any disease,
either rat leprOsy or any other af-
lection, it is believed it is to the
best interest of all that the animal
be killed.-Washingt Star.

The expression "to appease his

son is dead what would have pleased
him when he was alive. The spirit
or ghost of the dead was called hit
"manes" by the Romans. and it was
supposed never to rest quietly in the
grave as long as survivors left its
wishes unfulfilled. February 10 was
the day when all the living sacrificed
to the shades of dead relatives and
friends.

Hammer Mans First Tool?

The first toll evolved by ancient
man is believed to have been the
hammer. At first the hammer was

gave it a handle by means of a
