ITALY IS NOW |. IN MARKET FOR
 BUYING WHEAT
Price Chief Consideration for Purchase of 75,-
 100000 Bushels

ROME, April 12. = Mussolini granaries are nearly empty and Italy is shopping for something his year; quality is secondary world markets.
 Price is the chief consideration his year, quality is secondary Only enough wheat will be bought % run until the new Italian crop comes in and then again the bars will be put up against foreign oreadstuffs.
 Wheat here sells for $165 a buShel, roughly three times the price in the Americas. Freight adds something but the big differ enee comes in the Italian import duty of 85 cents a bushel, more than the cost Of the wheat where it is grown.
 Bread and spaghetti for 40,000,- coo people here take about 30,- 100000 bushels annually or seven and one-half bushels for each per- son. Of this Italy grows about three- fourths.
 Mussolini Boosts Production
 The $1.65 a bushel price is sup ported because the Italian farmer says he cant make a living with out heavy tariff protection. Fo" years Mussolini has sought to in- crease wheat growing 80 his eoun- try could make it's own bread. His encouragement has sent up the average production per acre 40 per cent in five years.
 Italian buying of wheat abroad has been held up because of several reasons.
 Primarily, because the Italian farmer needs money from his crops quickly, the government kept out foreign wheat by limiting millers to 5 per cent of foreign wheat last fall. Second, the government wished to reduce imports drastically to pre- vent money from going abroad and endangering the lira. Government Revenue Cut This made Italy more solid on the gold standard but also reduced government revenue by $20,000, 900 in the last half year through re- duced receipt from duty on wheat imports. Wheat duties recently have brought in six per cent of the states annual revenue. Much wheat has been bought from South America in the past but Italian importers this year think it likely more than ever will be bought there because of the price, particularly in Argentina

WaShington's own Cinderella,
the former Peg" Watson, now
the royal Duchess de Nemours,
is coming back to the United
States for her first visit since
her marriage.

the poor little Peg" of other
days, and hope the duchess will
find time to visit her old home.
And that she will remember her
old friends. '
Her mother, Mrs. Garret

the dust of Washington from

rumor that her ducal children
are coming a-visiting this fall.
She is making magnificent
plans to entertain them at New
port, but she hasn't said a word
about Washington.
"POOr Little Peg"
"Poor little Peggy" society
in the Capital used to murmur
when the name of Mrs. Wat
sons pretty daughter came up
in conversation. Peggy was
pretty, but Peggy's family was
poor. Her mother, born of a
distinguished but impoverished
Virginia family, had even been
reduced to taking roomers"
at her house here on @ Street.
She had a time making ends
meet and If a Well-to-do rela-
tive hadn't come to the rescue
and provided the funds to send
Peggy to a good school the girl
would have probably married
some mice boy" in Washing
ton and been forgotten.
But the relative not only
made available the money for
Peggy's schooling, but later
donated pretty clothes and
funds for a season or two at
