Rome March Highlight in Mussolini's Life Story
Fascist Like
Giant Wave
From Sea

This is the sirth of a series
of articles, continuing drd-
matte highHghts IN the career
of Mussolini, modern Caesar.

The March on Rome!
Dramatic in every chapter,
the career of Benito Mussolini
reached its apex on October q,
1922, when after a new period
of strikes, riots and political
disorders, which inter-party
agreements failed to quell, his
armed revolution actually be-
gan.
Like an ocean wave gather
ing momentum with each rise
and fall until it crashes at
length against a bulwark too
frail to stand it, the Fascist
march swept on the capital.
1t started, like so many other
movements, sporadically. The stage
had long been set, but Mussolini
had bided his time. He had &C
copied a post without portfolio IN
the government, laughingly de-
scribing himself as the Great
Umbrella" to shield the ministers
from the rain of party strife.
But his ears heard the shouts
OF revolution" growing louder
daily. Slowly and surely he made
preparations for the final blow,
endeavoring to assure his follow
ers that no great resistance to
them would be possible when the
time came.

Meet In Chicago
PROMOTERS Say Negroes Have Joined

slons for Permanent Recovery, from
all sections of the country will meet
here at the Coliseum, October "a To

q the international Humane League.
Inc, Thursday morning.
Inc movement has for its urpos
tne passage through Congress of the

1t is the belief Of those sponsor

Plan is the only feasible n offered
for permanent recovery. The depres-
sion is due to the non circulation of
money thus causing a stagnation in
industry and the productive fields.
With mor than ten million people

money will be in constant circulation.

through a law establishing a federal

sors, "Who would object to paying

STANDARD OIL WITH.
DRAWS SUPPORT

THE ONLY important development work in the
Il oil-bearing zone of the disputed territory in
the ChacO has been carried on by the Standard Oil
Co of New Jersey. This company has spent several
million dollars, since 1923, on its concession of
100000 acres However, there were no means Of
transportation from Santa Cruz, where the oil is
found, to the Atlantic sea ports. All the ports were
controlled by Paraguay. When the Standard Oil
Co tried to secure an outlet for Bolivia through
northern Argentina, the latter through its State
Enterprise, imposed such a high tariff
rate that shipment Of Bolivian oil via railway from
Yacuiba was prohibit:ve. Argentina also refused
to grant the oil company a concession to construct
a pipe line across Argentine territory. In addition,
Argentina strongly financed Paraguay. As a result
the Standard Oil Co. was forced to cap most of its
wells and to cease financing the armed forces of
Bolivia. ak

Of any inferiority complex was
the advice given the students at

Tuesday.
"There is only one danger to
the great dictators Of the world"
said DR.. johnson, "and that is a
healthy, obedient will. Just as
Christ believed the vaunted splen-
dor of the Roman Empire and the
rampant patriotism Of the Phar-
isees were diseases of spirit af-
fecting the social security Of the
masses of the population, 50 be
cause of such disease the empire
fell.

EDITORIAL OF WEEK

NEWS dispatches from Georgia, reporting that a
~ Negro arrested for drunkenness, was taken away
from a sheriff and lynched by a mob, call to mind
that Georgia is ruled by a governor who has gone
much about the country in recent months telling
the people how highly he respects the Constitution.
Which also calls to mind that the Constitution,
among other things guarantees that no man shall
be deprived of life without due process Of law.
1t will be interesting to note whether Gov. Tain
adge will be as vehement in deeds, as he is in words,
in defense of the Constitution.

Penalty for Mater
nal Indulgence
BY r.. "A. ADAMS
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

She is a mother. There were three
children. Two of them still live. Dur
ing the extended absence of the faith
er these girls took advantage of the
meekness of the mother and depart
ed from what the father considered
right and proper, in social conduct.
This departure was discovered and
caused estrangement between father
and mother. The mother was terribly
distressed but considered that, after
all, she had merited and secured the
love of her children.
But the children, now grown and
with children Of their own, are I'M
kind to this mother. They do not re-
spect her views nor her wishes and
actually r unkind in word and
deed. The wreck is complete. The
breach between father and mother
will nev be healed. The mother feels
the weight of this terrible thing on
her conscience. But the children seem
not to realize what they have done
nor what they owe to their mother.
In this sad cas- is a lesson for
all mothers, especially for mothers,
who r inclined to be indulgent and
to suffer children to deceive their
fathers. 1t is retribution.

WHAT Is YOUR
SPEECH LIKE?

is your speech:
Like the rush of mighty waters on
the hollow sounding shore?
Like the tinkle of a crystal spring
on the rocky mountain side?
Like the name Of an Indian maiden,
Minnehaha, Laughing Water?
Like a broken sapling, straining in
the storm.
Like the rendng of a rock.
Like the menace of a flood.
The first duty Of a man is to
speak. That is his chief business in
the world. Robert Louis Stevenson
once said: "Talk is the harmonious
speech between two or more persons.
1t is by far the most accessible of
pleasures. 1t costs nothing in money;
it is all profit; it completes our edu-
cation, Pounds friendships, and can
be enjoyed at any age and in almost
any stage of health"
A clear speaking voice is a prime
requisite in every field Of activity.
In public speaking, in debating, in
conversation, in business interviews,
in the s~choolroom. Most persons are
careful about their dress when they
are trying to get on successfully in
the world and at the same time how
careless the same people are of their
speech, which is the mirror Of their
personality. AS a man speaks, 50 he
is.
There is really no excuse for my
one having a strident, or weak voice.
Most of the faults of the voice are
inherited but are merely bad hab-
its. People can change these habits.
You can re-learn these the same as
other habits. 1t is not easy to change
old habits but it can be done. This
should be your aim in this series Of
weekly articles.
The voice is one of the great won
ders of Gods gift to men. One can
do almost anything with it if he will
only try. The great orator Demos
themes said: GAS a vessel is known
by the sound, whether it is cracked or
not; SO men are proved by their
speeches"
