U-One and Only-Duce

NTUssOLINI has feeling that there Is not now
1VI and probably will be another man worthy
of the Office of Duce and has been promoting the
thought among the people that when he dies his
position should be occupied by his immortal spirit
This idea suggested in certain posters and pacards
showing localized scene in new Italy with the
bold, brave head of MusSoln in steel helmet family
imposed against clouds like a vision. Nowhere does
modesty deter II Duce from serving his people an
ideal
They begin to admire him on their first day in
kindergarten when their teachers read to them the
glorious story of II DuceS march on Rome. Their
education is contaminated with the poisonous
possibility that the Blackshirt leader might be muir
derous racketeer who joined the movement In early
days only to denounce his creditors as Communists
and have them lqudated by nocturnal raiders. When
they grow into their teens and are ready for the
army their teachers may explain in clean, whole
some way that certain political vices exist such as
democracy but only that they recognize and resist
temptation when it comes
Religious training is not denied them, but never
has Mussoini been heard to dissent from adulation
of the Duce After all. that would be sedition and
Mussolin is perfect Italian yielding to no man in
his admiration for the chief.

CETTING piers down to that
~ rock ridge, 200 feet below the
surface, was one of the obstacles.
Men can't work that deep under
compression.
So they built the piers from the
top down. A compassionate
f1otation caisson method was de-
vised. Each caisson was cluster
of steel tubes, Is feet in diameter,
bound with an outer casing. The
tubes were capped to provide
buoyancy as they were f1oated into
place.
Concrete was poured between
the tubes and around the inside
OF the casing. AS the caisson
sank, another section was fitted
to it's top, and this in turn was
sunk and crowned with still an
OtIlcI ChlSSOIl.
The form for the central an
chorage pier was 90 by q feet
in thickness dimension. A struc-
tural steel cutting edge, II feet
deep, was placed around the bot
tom. Twenty-four huge anchors
held the caisson in place as it
slowly sank, with surface winds
and a siX-and-one half m;les-an-
hour tidal current trying to tug it
out of place.
HHIEF DIVER BILL REED set
~ new records as down in the
pitch darkness of the deep water
he checked the position of the
slow-sinking caisson.
When the mud bottom was
reached, the tubes were uncapped
and used as wells through which

The opposition people say Cd
that if more people would use

To clear ships passing under

was necessary. A single suSpen-

They had to be 2lS feet above

experiment in electricity and that
the two other things, commend
able as they are, happen to be the
incidentals.
During my several hours of
listening to the lawyers, one very
clever point Cat least thought 500
occurred to me. So said, eff it's
unconstitutional to sell electricity
because it completes with pri-
vate business, why isn't it also
unconstitutional for the govern
ment to build a waterway to COM
pete with railroads and bus
freight lines?"
And came the answer from the
opposition lawyers, "It is" But
the railroads just acquiesce. For
the reason, I suppose, that the
railroads owe the government too
much money to be biting the hand
that feeds them.
IVA says it has the right to
sell power because it is to the best
interests of the people. IVA

the big power companies. 1t all
hinges on TWAS desire to create
electricity and sell it to people in
competition with private power
companies. The opposers say
that's unconstitutional.
The reason it's unconstitutional
for the government to sell cleo
tricity, and not unconstitutional
for it to run restaurants and do

l. Thousands of motorists have come to
that decision.
'But what kind shall I buy?" Many peo-
pie are confused. So many new models. So
many conflicting claims. So many desirable
features to choose from.
But if you examine the models carefully
-. if you sift the claims &. you will come to
this simple conclusion: There are THREE
outstanding car features that you must
have in 1885.
They are -. Hydraulic Brakes -. ALL
Steel Bodies and the scientific Redis-
tribution of Weight for Riding Comfort.
Auto-editors throughout the country pick
them as the ''big three" of the year.
Now check over the list of 1885 cars. See
which ones offer you all three of these major
engineering features. You'll be amazed. Only
