Fears for Sons
At Var Hidder,
By Duce's Wife
Donna Rachele Fol.
Io,cs Spartan Creed of
Dictator Husband.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, October 21.-Donna Rachele
Mussolini. following the Spartan creed
of her premier husband, keeps to her
self any fears for her two soldier boys,
aviators on the East African front.
Both Vittorio and Bruno, II Duce's
eldest sons, have been under fire as
their planes flew over Ethiopia and
passed through antiaircraft barrages.
Mussolini's reputation for personal
bravery is assurance enough that he
would not encourage premature tears
at home. He encouraged his sons to
fly and sent them to the East African
front with smile.
If they should be killed, Fascists
would expect him to take his grief as
he expects all Fascists to take theirs
it is part of his creed to "live dan
gerously."
Donna Rachele, who is entitled by
law to be called your excellency," IS
the mother of five children. Her life
is devoted to her husband and her
children. She lives up to II Duce's
belief that woman's place Is in the
home.
Few know exactly what she thinks
of the risks of war. She Is one Of
the most isolated women in Italy.

This announcement was maze to-
day by Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue

COTTON ACT PETITION.
Supreme Court Acts on Test Sou"ht
by Georgia.

By the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court today directed
the United States to show by Novem-
Der II why Georgia should. not be
permitted to file a suit to test the
constitutionality of the Bankhead cot
ton control act. A petition to file the
suit has been presented in behalf of
Gov. Talmadge of Georgia.
The courts action delayed decision
on whether 1t would consider the case
brought by Georgia, which had been
expected today.
Already, however, another suit is
pending before the court, filed last
session. which would give it q chance
if 1t desired to pass on the validity
of the compulsory cotton control law.
But some attorneys claim 1t could
narrow its decision in that case 50
that its ruling would not affect the
entire measure.
Talmadge, an outspoken critic Of
the Roosevelt administration, con-
tended in the petition filed in his be-
half that the Bankhead act was un-
constitutional and was rendering farm
land owned by the State Of Georgia
substantially worthless"
Thomas J. Mooney today asked the
! Supreme Court to reconsider its latest
refusal to review his conviction Of
participation in the 1916 San Fran
cisco Preparedness day bombing.
A Wisconsin Supreme Court deci-
sion holding invalid the State grad
uated tax on gross incomes derived
from chain stores was permitted to
stand today by the Supreme Court.
1t refused to pass on the contro-
versy raised by q challenge Of the tax
by the Wadhams Oil Co., operating
l20 service or filling gasoline stations
In Wisconsin.
The company contended the chain
store tax did not apply to its filing
stations and insisted if it was held
to cover filling stations it was dis
criminatory and unfair and therefore
unconstitutional.
Other court actions today included:
The Root Refining Co. of Dela-
ware lost in its attempt to set aside
rulings by lower courts 1t had in
fringed oil cracking patents owned
by the Universal Oil Products Co.
Of Chicago.
Lawyers for the Root company said
widespread use Of "anti-knock gasoline
will force independents to pay s40,-
000, 900 in royalties to Universal in
the next three years. Universal re-
piled it had collected only $33 500 900
royalties from all companies. large
and small, up to 1880.
The court upheld a lower court de-
cision that income taxes should be
paid by corporations on past con-
tributious to charity.
Three American corporations. owned
chiefly by the British American To-
bacco Co., Ltd, lost in their effort
to escape paying more than $1l5,000

peals that the three were not entitled

ON WAR
BY CHARLES p. BROWNING

A man cannot believe and know
a thing at the same time. One well
known eastern writer recently ex-
pressed the opinion that war was
necessary and inevitable, and that
therefore, he was not against the
munitions manufacturers. This
article reminded me somewhat of
the story about the little boy on
the train. 1t seems tina the letle
fellow had left a window open, an
act which irritated one gentleman
to the point that he promptly
bawled out the little boy. "Where
do you think you are, he asked.
"In a barn?" The boy retired to
a corner to cry. The man, con-
cerned over his loss of temper,
told the little fellow that he was
sorry if he had hurt his feelings.
The boy replied, "No, l am not an
CRY, but sad. You see, was born
on farm, and every time | hear
jackass bray, get home sick"
There are men today that need
classification such as this. The
writer expresses his opinion, and
it may give him some satisfaction.
1t however affords no knowledge
that is useful for the men and wo-
men who make an effort to show
all mothers, on the Memorial Day
that the people who pretend to be
Intelligent are striving to erase
the curse that war throws over all

cation than the one the old Arab
