Duce Brings Air Skill To New Job
As Head OF ItaIy's Aviation Corps
By JOHN LLOYD
By Aenocfated Pressl

ROMEs Jan. 1Us--DSuAtO MUS
solini's job as air minister, latest
addition to his personal assign
ments, brings him into contact
with an old love. Flying is dear
to the duce's heart and not at all
outside his experience.
In taking over the ministry from
Air Marshal Italo Balbo, he set his
hand to a task with which he is
quite familiar-for Mussolini has
gone through the mill; he knows
what it is to pilot a plane, and
what it is to crack up.
Those who are familiar with his
passion for the air say they under
stand what the leader felt when he
sent his blackshirt filters winging
their way across the ocean and
had himself to stay at home. Now
they comprehend his joy at taking
personal charge of the organiza-
ton that trained those filters.
He intends to give the service
the same dynamic leadership it en-
joyed under Balbo. One of his
first acts after taking the port
folio was to outline to the general
air staff a secret program to inn
prove the services already re-
markable efficiency.
Teacher Lauds Courage
Here is what Cesare Redaelh.
who taught the duce to fly back in
1920 and '21, has to say about
the pupil who, while immersed IN
preparations that were to mould
the destinies of Italy, found time
to pedal his bicycle out to Arcore
air field, near Milan, and try his
hand at plotting.
"a pupil who SCOTS at danger
NOT for show, but because he is
accustomed to it-makes the in
structor feel he can achieve re-
suits. / always felt that way with
Benito Mussolini in my ship.
Redaelli, describing the crash in
which both were hurt, said they
had just taken off and we're about
to pass over a forest when he no
ticed the motor was missing. He
reached over and tried to steer the
plane back to the field, but Mus
solini, at the stick, resisted.
The instructor thereupon seized
the controls and tried to bank.
But it was too late. The plane
side-slipped and they fell 125
feet.
Duel Mere Incident
When they pulled themselves.
half-stunned, from the wreckage.
Mussolini was bleeding from a
cash in his forehead and from a
painful knee laceration, but his
first act was to telephone the edi-
tor of his paper, the Popolo
d'Italia, and tell him not to exag-
gerate the story, calling it "a
trifle."
Redaelli says it subsequently
was proved that caretakers of the
plane had been bribed by Mus
solini's enemies to put an obstruc-
ton in the gas line.
On another occasion Mussolini
told Redaelli to hurry the lesson
because he had any engagement to
fight duel.
''The weather was hardly suit
able for flying" Redaelli said,
"but he never had been surer of
himself. The thought of measur-
ing arms with an opponent spurred
him to greater lucidity and ac-
ton"

another flower hostess, one is busted
with pollen and SO seed children are
assured.
The mullen mother does not de-
velop all of her flowers at one time.
So you will find fresh flowers, buds
and seed capsules on the spike when
you visit them.
The seed capsule is incased in the
long calyXlobes. 1t divides into
quarters when it is time for the seed
babies to go for a ride with Godfather
Wind. You can see the hundreds of
seeds. Under lens they look like
little corn cobs, pitted and ribbed.
You should try to see the most
dreaded enemy the mullen plant has.
Look into a seed capsule and see if
it is not occupied by some wee. brown
headed, white-bodied snout-beetle in
fants. My, how they hate to be dis
turbed.
The leaves of the mullen are won
derful, too. Under a lens you can
see the white spikes that cover the
surface of the leaf. And you can
see why an animal lets them alone.
In the Autumn the lovely gold
finch and his drab-looking sisters
flock to this plant. In the Summer
the exquisite humming bird gathers
fine hairs for her thimble-sized nur-
sery.
Look for the lovely frost-Iike ros-
cites under the snow this Winter. The
plant is years old before it lifts
its sike aloft.

Is of the latter sort, and comes from
the arrest of carbohydrate digestion
in the stomach, while the fermenta-
tions later on in the colon are from
the same cause.
The usual "gassy stomach is so be-
cause of the mixtures of food found
associated there. and can be cleared
up in a short time by separation of
the incompatibles Of diet. In fact, 1t
is not unusual to find that the very
first meal eaten IN proper combina-
ton ends the whole trouble, as has so
often been observed clinically.
have often been told by those who
suffer habitually from this torture
called sour stomach that when they
ate the first meal properly combined
they felt none of the usual distress.
The eructation of sour fluid, the burn
ing from stomach to throat pit, that
usually drives the sufferer to the use of
such a1kalis as soda or magneSia, had
vanished
This more common form Of gastric
hyperacidity is created afresh by each
meal, each being an assemblage of
poorly related foods. some requiring
alkaline conditions and some acid con-
ditions for stomach digestion.
The too-great preponderance OF hy-
drochloric acid in the gastric Juice
comes from the habitual use of too
great amounts of protein foods, such
as meats, eggs, fish, and has been built
in response to need for high per-
centages of this acid by means of
which peptic digestion of protein is
begun.
To correct this type Is to stop the
excessive use of this class of foods.
perhaps banning them for a time, till
the acid flood subsidies, as it always
will when the protein intake is sufi-
GENTLY lowered.
It Is this hyperchlorhydria that is
the cause Of every case Of gastric or
duodenal ulcer. And I say this with
out the slightest fear of successful con-
tradiction, for during % years Of prac-
tice along these lines, since abandoning
the usual drug and surgical treatment,
have seen more cases each year than
in any year while engaged in the usual
type OF practice. In not a single in
stance did any ulcer of the stomach
or duodenum fail to heal permanently.
The whole tendency was outgrown in
year or two, and no future hyper
chlorhydria was ever again demonstra-
BILE. This constitutes permanent cure,
because the cause has been perma-
nently discontinued.
No matter which type Of acid ston-
ach Is present, it is durable by thor
ough removal of its cause. In the one
case this means the separation of the
incompatible foods into compatible

no YOU ever wonder what other
persons think Of you? Prom all
I can discover. most people spend a
good part of their time trying to find
out what others think about them
There are a few facts about this
everyday personal problem that
should be taken into consideration.
l. Most persons are spending their
time with their own personal prob
lens The chances are they don't
have the time to give you the atten-
ton you imagine they do. So why
worry about what you think they
think Of you?
2. Personality is not a constant
quality. 1t is made up of so many
parts that you really never appear
quite the same, even under the same
conditions.
8. Your own moods have a lot to
do with what you think others think
of you. 1t is easy to imagine things
that never have happened and never
will happen.
4. In the last analysis. you are
usually judged. not sc much from
what you do as the motives which
seem to be back of the doing. II
you will be careful TO be honest about
your motives, the chances are you
will gain and hold the good opinion

HATTERER the Red Squirrel
had been right. 1t was Spite
the Marten who had so nearly
~ caught him and whose pres
ence there in the Green For
est he had felt before ever he saw
him. Never in his life had Chatterer
felt such terror as now possessed him.
He Law buried under the soft bedding
in his home in a hollow limb and shiv-
cred at the mere thought that his
enemy had come to the Green For
est. Other enemies he had, but from
practically all of them he felt safe
when in the trees. Here was one as
much at home in the trees as was he
himself, one who could travel through
them faster than he could.
1--WE heard of that fellow, but
never expected to see him." thought
Chatterer. He doesn't belong down
here near the edge of the Green For-
est. I've always heard that he loves
the deep woods. He must have come
down from the Great Mountain. There
are deep woods on that, have been
told. Oh, dear! whatever shall / do?
I won't dare put foot outside this
house. Oh. dearl Oh. dear!"
Chatterer was right. Spite the
Marten had come down from the deep
woods on the Great Mountain, the
deep evergreen woods, for 1t is only
among pines and spruces and frs and
hemlocks that he feels at home. Why
he had come he probably didn't really
know himself. He had been wander
ing in quest of new food supplies, and
his wandering had brought him down
there. On the way down he had found
some ash berries. Perhaps the hope of
finding more had led him down. Any
way, he was there, as Chatterer had
found out to his sorrow and diSmay.
He was handsome fellow, was
Spite. His coat was rich, dark yell
lowish brown, his throat and breast
almost an orange-yellow. His ears
were of good size, rounded and edged
with white. His tail was half as long
as his head and body and was bushy
but rounded, not fiat like Squirrels.
He was larger than Rusty the Fox
Squirrel, largest of the Squirrel cou-
sins, but not SO very much larger. His
eyes WC1C bAl6hts nAlA 6OOA AOOh oe
his face would have told you that he
belonged to the Weasel family. Like
his cousins, Shadow the Weasel, Billy
Mink and Little Joe Otter, he was out
and about when he felt like it, whether
it was daytime or night. And he didn't
mind in the least that he was alone.
He preferred to be by himself. He
never was lonesome. All he asked
was good hunting.
Spite was quick tempered and when
he just missed catching Chatterer he
lost his temper for a few minutes.
Yes, sir, that is what he did. He tried
to tear open that little round doorway
to make it big enough for him to enter.
Failing in this, he spent few minutes
snarling and splitting.
Come out of there, you red imp"
he snarled. 81 am going to get you
anyway, so you may as well come out
now as later"
OF course, Chatterer didn't accept
the invitation. He just shivered and
shook, but he didn't make q sound.

before-except that she still had one
of her glass slippers. The other slipper
had fallen on as she ran from the

Later the prince found out who she
was, when men went through the

foot which would fit the glass slipper.

her his bride.

THE Hoff family. descending from
the Vandenhoffs of Holland, has
previously been discussed in this col
umn Hoff, or as it was called orig
inally, Won Hoff, is one of the most
ancient names of Switzerland. and
possessed from the beginning the
honors of the nobility. 1t extended
itself thence to Germany, and parti-
cularly to Suabia (Wurttemberg) 4,
Bavaria and Bohemia. The ancestor
of the family was the Swiss Knight
Ludolf Won Hoff, who f1ourished
about the year ll30. He was the
commander (Stadt hauptmann) of
the city of Bern, and the possessor
of numerous rich estates.
One of his descendants, Walter Won
Hoff, accomplished very important
services for the Emperor Rudolf I,
for which, in the year 1868, he was
invested by the latter with the Aus
trian honor of free baron of the en-
pire Reicks friei baronD and large
feudal estate called Holtingen in
Steyermark, Austria.
Another descendant, Witte Kied Won
Hoff Knight of Berne), was one of
the judges of the great Swiss Con-
federation, formed to resist the tyr
amy Of Austria, and lost his life in the
battle near Moorgartene.
A third descendant, Frantz Will
helm Won Hoff. became resident of
Suabia about 1540, and through in
termarriage with Ann Won Guningen.
he acquired considerable estates. He
is the last of his family to be found
upon the records of the nobility, his
descendants having neglected during
the subsequent period of the wars to
renew the letters patent for their
titles from the Imperial Court at
Vienna. They we're hence dropped
from the list of nobility, and account
ed common citizens. The history and
insignia of the family remain on
record at Vienna.
Descendants of this family are now
living in various parts Of the United
States.

The bidding on the above hand was
simple. North bid one no trump,
South two no trump and North
three no trumps. East opened a small
spade.
North held up twice and won the
third round of spades with the ace.
He Immediately drove out EaSt's ace of
clubs, and East retaliated by taking
his long spade on which North I'M
blocked the diamond suit by playing
the jack.
North must take all the rest Of
the tricks in order to make his con-
tract. It's apparent, of course, that
either the heart or the diamond
finesse will give him nine tricks
but even the verieSt tyro can see that
EaSt's return lead-a club-hadn't
helped North much in guessing the 10
cation of the two queens. North de-
cided that if West held both the queen
of hearts and the queen of diamonds,
he could be squeezed. North also de-
cided that since East had held four
clubs and four spades originally, the
chances were that any queen in his
hand was single guarded.
Two more club leads embarrassed
West slightly. He had been throw
ing hearts with reckless abandon. re-
tanning three small diamonds, but he
finally had to relinquish a diamond.
North noted that with slight smile.
North now laid down the ace and king

laid down the ace of diamonds and
led a small diamond to dummy. At
this point, according to all rules of
logic, West should have had only two
diamonds. North thought of the stir

if he went up with the king and
dropped Vests queen. Unfortunately
for North. every one else made three
