Red pepper sauce, so hot that 1t
makes Mexican chile con carne
taste like a soothing syrup, is be-
ing made by Abyssinian house
wives.
They are getting ready for war
knowing that if there is a war
the women will have to help
feed their men.
And If an horS d'oeuvre Of
raw meat soaked in this red
pepper sauce doesn't put pep into
the army-nothing will.
It Is made of raw red pepper
pods, Of powdered red pepper, Of
garlic, ginger and onions; Of black
pepper, salt and cabbage seed.
It is all pounded and then mixed
with vinegar and sealed up in
jars to ferment.
ny lie Clule war is declared
the sauce will be ready.
Tel, Native Brew
Favorite army rations Of the
AbySsinianS are thin caked bread
made from q reddish grain called
teff; raw meat with the afore-
mentioned red pepper sauce; hard
boiled eggs and lots of tel. Tel
Is a home brew, made with water
and honey and geichi leaves.
I was told in Ethiopia a tale
about the eating Of raw meat be-
ing a sort Of traditional ceremony
at certain feasts and celebrations
held during the year.
It seems that many years ago
the country was in a bad way
during an invasion of the Mo-
hammedans. The native soldiers
had to hide for many days in
the forests. They could make no
fires. So they began eating their
meat, raw. AS a result they be.
came so strong and courageous
that they rushed out Of the for
est, surprise and conquered
their enemy. Therefore at big
feasts the raw meat is eaten in
memory Of this victory.

II Duce's war career was an

were we'll acquainted with his rec
ord as an agitator. He served for
almost three years. mainly in the
frigid Alpine passes whether 1tal-
fans and Austrians fought inter
minably in death grips. while the
morale Of the Italian army rose
and fell with each successive vic
tory or defeat. He lost his mother
during the war. A message came
to the front announcing her Ill.
ness and he was furloughed to see
her. She was dead when he got
home.
He was wounded at Caporetto,
In January of 1918, when a

number Of his companions and
wounding all the rest. Some 40
pieces Of sharp metal pierced his
body. Followed weeks in a front.
line hospital, which was at length
evacuated when enemy planes
rained bombs from overhead.
There is q legend that King Victor
Emmanuel came to the hospital
to see MuSsolini, the erStwhile
a hunted agitator who had turned
war hero and shook hands with
his former foe. with no suspicion
, that this man would eventually
make puppets Of the royalty Of
italy. In May he returned to
Milan, invaded out Of the war
but still capable Of fighting in

Italy Wins on Piave
These were the blacklist months
for italy - the months when
italian soldiers faltered and fell
even retreated, fled in disorder.
Mussolini, writing Of it in his war
diary, blamed this break in morale
upon ineffective leadership and
the cumulative effect Of years Of
unrest and national unhappineSs.
The flip of the war had run its
course: the hypodern1ic had lost
its effect.
The war ended with the Italians
finally victorious on the Pave.
The AustrianS this time retreated
and the last shot sounded.
There were yet to be heard the

It Is doubtful whether in Mus

war was the slightest thought Of

of 1taly-as well as all OF
England, France and America-he
rejoiced in the victory that was
so long in coming. Even the con-
ference Of Versailles, which saw
italy left without spoils Of con-
quest, failed to move him to i'm.
mediate action. But the columns
of his paper spouted venom upon
the weak statesmen who allowed
an over.populated Italy to be de-
MED any share in the German
colonies and to lose even Smyrna
and Dalmatia.
Asked Territorial Recognition
Early in 1919, Mussolini began
to campaign for territorial recog-
milton. He launched a demand
for Dalmatia and Flume. It gave
way shortly to impassioned ap-

peals for the veterans, who re-
turned home as so many others,
to find jobs gone, no new ones
to be had, and starvation their
only reward.
Mussolini saw in each disaster
Detailing Italy new proof Of the
inadequacy of Italy's governing
classes. They had not modified
early enough, with the result Italy
suffered for years beyond her des-
erts upon the battlefield. By the
same token, he charged, they
failed to prepare for demobiliza-
ton. The war industries closed
down, throwing thousands out Of
work. The lire dropped precipi-
tously. The cost Of living rose.
The paradise that soldiers for
four years had envisioned turned
into another winter Of misery and
suffering.
During this period, Mussolinl's
office became the Mecca for the
unemployed. He received scores
daily, giving them letters Of In.
PRODUCTION when jobs might pos
sibly be had, and 10-lire notes
when food was even more urgently
needed. Each recipient was q po-
tential blackshirt. Each began
to look upon the giver as o
Samaritan. One by one, in those
troublouS days, the Fascist army
was formed.
Reds Are Enemies
But those who came to Musso-
lini for help were in the minority
in the nation. Others, beyond
the reach Of his personal influ-
ence, or opposed to it on prin.
ciple, began to heed the call Of
Bolshevism. Here Mussolini found
the enemy he had been seeking.
He wrote time and again that
Bolshevism never could succeed
in a land where sunshine and
green grass prevailed eight
months Of the year, and assured
his readers that Lenin could never
win a happy southern land to the
lf-chosen iron rule Of an icy
Russia.
But he, nevertheless, used Boil
shevism as his Springboard to pow.

claimed after his rise to power
that Fascism was the only bull.
wark against Communism-that
without this resurgence Of ma.
tional feeling the Red flag would
surely have flown over Italy.
Party Scars to Power
No single popular movement in
history, not excepting the Nazi
sweep in Germany, grew more
swiftly than Mussolini's Fascism.
Almost overnight, the organiza-
ton had candidates at the polls.
There were early defeats, but
under the whiplaSh of Mussolini's
writing and speeches, there came
day when 80 FasciSts were
elected to the Chamber of Depu-
ties. In a few hours, the new
party became a force to be
reckoned with. It needed only
some dramatic episode to see it
develop to maturity.

High Ethical Standard Demanded of Companies;
 sOverIOaded" Agents Urged to Reduce Overhead;

necticut Association of Insurance Agents at Hotel Taft, New Haven. Tn part he remarked:
 @There is one feature of the agents business to which I am giv- ing particular attention and that is I shall not stand for the con- tinuation of licenses of those agents who accept money from the insur- ing public and delay in transmits sion of 1t 50 long that the insured wakes up some morning with a notice of cancellation in his mail- box from the home office for non- payment of his premium.
 Stern Measures Promised
 Arguments over technicalities which have to do only with agents themselves or that arise between a company and an agent are quite easy of disposition, but when that argument overflows to a point where it adversely affects the in- suring public or when an agents conduct of his business is so loose that the insuring public is pre- judiced or his rights actually jeopardized the insurance depart ment expects to take a stringent hand. If an agents overhead Is too high he should have the courage to cut it down."
 It was the first time the new commissioner appeared before the association and he took the occa- sion to lay down his policies as they affect agents.
 T am going to defend the insur- ing public and insist that the busi- ness be conducted on a high eth- ical plane" he said. "Any com plaints in the matter of premiums handled by agents will have the prompt attention and action of the department" J
 Bringing Files to Date
 Commissioner Blackall is bringing the file of 5000 agents up to date. He disclosed that about 5000 cards sent out to the agents for this prr- pose have been returned and 2,O00 of them checked. He found 277 changes of address not reported to the department; five dead" agents still on the list; IT out of business entirely; 85 who cannot be located, and one agent who died two years ago, but whose license was still be- ing paid by his company.
 Walter H. Bennett, secretary treasurer of the national associa- ton, and Dr. John L. Davis of New York also addressed the state in- surance agents. Charles E. Free man of the Springfield Fire & Ma rine Insurance Company gave a talk on sales presentation.
 The program was concluded with the presentation of the film, Death Takes No Holiday"

 Democratic Town Chairman John H.

AS long as no protest is made and as long as the state officials do not step in to in- vestigate the two republican finan- cial reports the situation will re- main as 1t is. Town Clerk Dora A. Egan stated when talked with that she will retain the two conflicting reports on file. That is all her du- ties call for.
 The purpose of the statute re- quiring the names of persons or or ganizations contributing to election campaign expenses is to prevent any corrupt practices among private in- terests seeking control of a party or any of its candidates.
