 Talks Open

ROME. March 5.-4 Galy will accept the League of Nations appeal for peace, an excellent source stated today
 The basis for discussion, and the certain reservations made by Mus solini. were not exactly disclosed. One view holds that territory already occupied in East Africa must be con- sidered Italy's and not form a. part of the negotiations.
 Italy is said to be not favorable to the immediate cessation of hostili- ties pending discussions. The invad- ing legions continued their drives from both the north and south fronts and were meeting with little resis- tance.
 A veil of secrecy shrouded the dip- lomatic talks in Rome today, as II Duce conferred with his ministers on drafting a formal reply to the League of Nations offer. Geneva asked for an immediate armistice. to be followed by negotiations between the two belligerents, under super vision of the League.

islands Of the east. You know: Cherry blossoms
the snowy peak of Fujyama, paper parasos COL

young love suffusing the ensemble with a never

Well, if you have ever given yourself to such
proftless musings, The Wooden Pillow" viking;

Fallas seems to have all that sort of thing right in
his own memories and this book is novel of haunt

In a leisurely dreamy way it tells about young
Englishman who visited japan and fell in love With
the entire country especially with the Poor Butter
flies.
Our young Englishman dons kmono and lives
Japanese style He visits with the japanese makes
friends Of innkeepers and geisha girls students and
storekeepers, and soaks up the atmosphere of that
strange land where they give gin-nill such a
name The House of the Playful Kitten" and
where burglars return the loot with apologies when
they accidentally rob foreigner
And through it all is entwned the thread of
delicate and appealing love story Altogether, it

bachelor pattern.
Since the very day of his birth,
the Prince of Wales naturally be-
came the favorite object of spec
ulation on the part of match
makers, official and amateur.
There is story that his great
grandmother, Queen Victoria, be-
gan it when he was a fair haired
toddler of 2, relnarking, perhaps
playfully, that "he and the Cars
baby daughter Olga would make a
sweet alliance"
THE game of mating the Prince
J. thus begun by the austere
Victoria has been played ever since
by practically every one but the
Prince himself.
He has gone his own way, pay
ing no apparent heed to family
approximations, political pressure,
or wagging tongues and court
gossip.

hundreds-of girls in both Europe
and America, have been men

father to the thought, for Britain
and the world in general wanted a
royal romance So the business
of creating one went merrily on.
TT should be noted, however,
l. that despite the natural fond
ness for the company of the fair
sex that is common to all young
men, Edward, as Prince of Wales,
never has rushed any girl, or
even singled out one for special
attention.
Back before the World War, in
41911, the Princess Victoria Louise
of Prussia was actively discussed
as a mate for Wales.
But along came the World War,
and for years the Prince was ex-
clusively occupied with that catas-
trophe.
Those were, in a sense, his
most manageable years, from 81
to "a, and they were taken from
his life as effectively as they were
from the lives of millions of other
young men. There could be no

"THERE is little doubt" Mr..

one of the most widespread and
important disabling occupational

viewpoint it is at present the most
important occupational disease.

In addition to a wide recceni-

for injury, racketeering in COM

stages may be attributed to other
