Similar representations were made
In regard to the alleged anti-British
propaganda on the Italian radio.
This action was taken yesterday, it
was disclosed in informed circles, when
Sir Eric Drummond. British Ambas-
sador to Rome. called on Mussolini.
Sir Eric, these sources revealed,
adopted firm attitude with II Duce
and advised him that Britain cannot
relax its fleet activities in the Mediter-
ranean as long as the present situa-
ton remains unimproved.
Sir Eric explained further the Ital-
ian withdrawal of one division of
troops from Libya was satisfactory as
far as it went. the informed spokesman
continued, but the fact remains that
the troops still there are greatly in
excess of pormal strength.
Today, after this disclosure, italian
students demonstrated outside the
British Embassy. shouting:
Down with England"
They marched about the streets Of
Rome and frequently were cheered by
the populace.
The banners they carried denounced
the British leadership in the imposing
of sanctions against Fascist Italy.
Mussolini was told the British feel
their position still is being constantly

The action was no surprise to Lon

known Britain was greatly displeased
by the fact that Italian propaganda In

This ship movement was not ex-

Mandrake Plant Superstition

posed to become forked and resemble

the dog was chased he drew out the

The Tiger Beetle

The Tiger beetle is a very graceful
and beautifully colored insect They are
the most agile of all the beetles, and
are not only swift runners but can also
fly. They may be found on hot days
in roads, in beaten paths, or on the
shores of streams. Their popular name
is suggestive of their habits, and Of
the spots by which many are marked.
They are usually a metallic green or
bronze, banded or spotted, with yellow.
Some, however, are black, and some,
that live on white sand, are grayish-
white. The Tiger beetle larvae are
as ugly and awkward as the beetles are
beautiful. They are very greedy, al
ways on the search for prey. They
live In vertical burrows, in sandy
places or beaten-paths, or In plowed
fields, that have become dry and hard.

For the third time within the last

Johnny Jadick, who scored hairline
