There is little hook on the end OF

that one is. He hasn't bothered you,

No" agreed Tommy Tit, "he hasn't
bothered me for the very good reason
that I haven't given him a chance and
I don't intend to. I don't like neigh

So Tommy Tit was laughed at and
made fun of for being suspicious of the

- sea which has Latin name,
Mediterranean, meaning Amid
IL the Land" and jutting into that
sea is the country called Italy.
Italy is a kingdom, and a monarch
known as Victor Emmanuel sits upon
the throne, but people in other lands
have heard little about him since 1922.
In October of that year Black Shirt SOL
diers marched on Rome and seized
power. Benito Mussolini, leader of the
Black Shirt or Fascist" movement. be-
came premier. Within three years he
added SO greatly to his power that he
was dictator" of the country.
The King Of Italy kept his title, but
he was swept into the background, and
if you should ask any one now. Who is
the ruler Of Italy?' the reply almost
certainly would be "MusSolini'
Back in the years when this man was
winning power people in English-speak-
ing countries were confused about pro-
nouncing his family name. Many spoke
the first syllable as 'muss' to rhyme
with fuss" and others called it "meW."
The correct way is -'moose-so-lee-ne
Benito Mussolini was born in 1888.
His father was a blacksmith. During
his early manhood he was an active
leader of the Socialist party, but he
turned against the party because he
wanted Italy to go into the World War.
During the World War 475.000 Ital-
ians were killed In battle or died Of
wounds. The money cost to the coun-
try was more than $4,000 900, 600, or
about 750 for each family.
That frightful loss was not so great
as what was suffered by Russia, Ger
many, France and Great Britain, but it
was enough to help explain the dis
turbed state of Italy in the years after
the close of the war During that
period Mussolini formed the Black Shirt
Society (whose members really wore
black shirts), and today this group con-
trolls the country
There were years during which Mus
solini talked as though he planned to
make Italy wage another war, to gain
more land. but later he appeared to give
up the idea. During recent years he
has been looked upon with more favor
in foreign lands, but manv persons
blame him for taking from the Italian
people the right to elect public officers
in the free manner they once enjoyed.
Italy was a kingdom before Mussolini
came into power, but the King was not
an absolute ruler. The people were able
to make choices when they voted for
lawmakers. Mussolini is a brainy man
and has ability as an orator, which
helps him to keep control of Italy.

How it Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Suppose that a record Of your voice
is made while you are saying, Now is
the time for all good men to come to
the aid of their party" And suppose
records of the voices Of 10 OF your
friends are made in like manner, pro-
nouncing the same sentence. also
records of the voices of 10 strangers.
If, now, you listen to all these record
ings, can you say which voice is yours?
And can you recognize the voices of
your friends? This experiment has been
tried. The results show that one CAN
not recognize ones voice. You are
likely to say it is the voice of one OF
the strangers. You are, however, able
to recognize the voice of friend or &C
quaintance
From this. the experimental psychol-
ogist concludes that We really do not
know our own voices The theory is
that you have an ideal personality
which you imagine is reflected in your
voice. This assumed ideal personality
is very different from the objective per-
Sonality which others hear.
1t seems that you endow yourself with
traits by merely exaggerating the favor
able and denying or minimizing the un-
favorable traits. What are known as
wish images" seem to determine what
your own voice means to you.

TINE butternut and the black wal
nut are rivals in popularity
The butternut Is often called
L the white walnut and sometimes
they are mistaken for each
other. However, the difference is seen
at once in the leaves. There are usual
ly IL to II leaflets to be found on each
butternut stem. They are sticky and
hairy, and this little characteristic is
also true of the fruit, which is long,
while the black walnut is round.
Be sure and look for the leaf-scars
They have mustache or, one tree
expert called them, 'beetling brows,"
and no other tree has them. The buds,
higher up on the same joint, look like
wee green pineapples. The gray-green,
downy twigs follow out the butternut
habit, and they, too, are clammy to the
touch Break one of these twigS open
and study the wonderful chambered
pith.
In May, the staminate flowers in cat
kins to 5 inches long, of yellow-green
and overhoWing with pollen, are ready
for the winds to blow the golden dust
over the piStillate flowers, covered with
hairs, and whose two bright red, spread
ing stigmas are easily seen.
In October, the fruit, an oblong nut
In a Spongy, clammy, sticky coat with
pungent odor, is well known to the
country boy, in whose wood lot the tree

remove the thick husk, is sweet and
delicious The only thing needed when
you gather these nuts is two stones
You will find that green nut will leave
your hand sticky, and try as you WILL
you cannot wipe your hands free of it.
Anyway, you are unconcerned about it.
The smell of the juicy brown husks is

AIRMA|L FOR

Government Conference With
Eckener Intended To Formu-
late Plans.
BY DUANE WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1884, by United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. :. = The
post office department has entered
informal negotiations with Commo-
dore Hugo Eckener for experimental
trans Atlantic airmail service be
ginning next July, the United Press
learned today. .z
Eckener, whose Graf Zeppelin
has made many successful flights
from the North African coast to
Pernambuco, Brazil, has been called
upon by Harllee Branch, second as
sistant postmaster general to fur
nish in writinga proposition to car
ry mail by air to Europe next sum-
mer.
Branch conferred with the Ger
man dirigible expert here last Mon
day. The post office executive told
Fckener that the department was
very much interested in a trans At
lantic airmail service and asked the
flyer 10 submit a concrete PROPOSE
ton in writing as soon as possible.
During his conversation with
Branch. Eckener said that it would
be possible 10 fly mail to Europe by
Zeppelin in approximately 48 hours,
about three days less than required
by fastest mail vessels
The German indicated that a sur
charge Of 25 cents in addition to
the regular five cents postage would
be charged to carry mail by air.
Flights probably will be made every
10 days.
Eckerer plans to use the Huge
Zeppelin Lz129 now under construc-
ticn at Friedrichshafen. Germany,
for the experimental flights next
summer. The LZ129. when complet-
ed, will be the le/gest rigid type
airship in the world. 1t will carry
so passengers in addition to the
crew and several thousand pounds
of mail.
