Almost half Of this money. mos.
OF which comes from the budget
Of the ministry for foreign affair,
is spent on Italian schools abroad.
The Italian government mainta ms
1873 schools in foreign lands and

schools, which are chiefly cStab-
listed in the United States, South
America and France. have a total
attendance Of $1,000. The pupils
are almost exclusively sons and
daughters Of Italians living abroad

is to- teach them Italian and get
them interested in the new Fas-

NEW CITIZENS SOUGHT
Naturally. the Italian govern
mcnt hopes the majority of these
Italian boys will seek for Italian
citizenship when they become of

they were born.

more than 10000 Italian boys and
girls living in foreign countries
are now regularly inscribed in the

these Italian boys back TO Italy to
snend few weeks in summer
camps with their young Fascist
brothers. Many of them came
from the United States and Latin
America. The same thing Will be
done this summer.
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS
ACTIVE
I'm addition 10 the Fascist or
Plantations which are directly
subsidized by the government,
there are many private Italian
associations and clubs supported
Lv wealthy Italian communities.
This is particularly true IN the
United States. where me Order Of
the Sons of Italy is Il flOurishing
organization. In South America
there is an Association of Italians
in South America.
Most Of these nOn-Otficlal Or
CARNATIONS have a distinct bond
with FaSc.st Italy. Many of them
operate on programs laid down
by the Dante Ahghreri." which
is Il government supported organ
ization created to spread Italian
culture and propaganda in for
elm countries. This organization
has 200 committees in foreign
countries with total membership
of $4,000.
To further this work the gov
eminent spends more than $780,
600 annually, which IS entered in
the Foreign Affairs budget as de
Tense of ltalianity abroad" Ex-
actly how this sum is expended is
not divulged.
TOURIST TRADE SOUGHT
The second biggest item for
foreign propaganda, after schools,
is SI,OOO.OOO annually for tour
ist propaganda" This appears in
the budget OF the ministry OF pop
ular culture. This money mostly
is spent on foreign advertising TO
attract tourists to Italy.
In addition, the ministry of
popular culture spends about
100000 annually in keeping
Italian press attaches in the big
capitals of the world. The chief
task of these men is to try to OBJ
tain better press for Fascist
Italy in foreign newspapers.
Other items of a propaganda
nature in the budgets of the min
istries of popular culture and for
eign affairs are: special political
missions abroad, $l50,000; broad
casts to foreign countries, $751;
900; foreign conferences and con-
greSs. $4,000; secret expenses,
$4,000.

done by the crew Of the Army dredge
Atlas under supervision of E. j. Mer-
rick, IT,, of the District Army engineer
Office.
The dredge was moved to the down.
stream side of the bridge early today
following the removal of tons of de-
bris and sand from the upstream side
Of the bridge and under the draw span
Itself. The dredging crew succeeded
in clearing the last of the debris out
Of the channel north of the bridge
early today without breaking the ca
BILE carrying power to the draw bridge.
A number of other cables carrying
electric current from Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. stations in the District
were broken, however, and current
still is being rerouted over Key Bridge.
The engineer Office said that no
further delay in transportation over
Highway Bridge will be necessary. The
work of clearing the channel and ca
bles downstream can be carried on
during the daytime without opening

sumed for a few hours keep it under
refrigeration until served.
Give your refrigerator the ther-
mometer test to make certain the tenn
perature is so degrees fahrenheit or
under.
Get your milk from the doorstep and
put it in the refrigerator the first thing
in the morning.
Caution children against eating un-
ripe or overripe fruit. Keep custards
and cream desserts especially cold.
Take a short rest period before eat
ing to get over the effects Of fatigue or
exhaustion from exposure to the sun.
Eat sparingly and include only the
food which you know agrees with you
on the hottest days.

Of his Craftsmanship Of the Senate sub-

line for that assignment are Senators
Hayden of Arizona and Thomas.
Senator Hayden already has charge
Of the Interior Department bill and it

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was asked today to approve an
agreement reached between competing
bus companies in Arlington. Va. to
change certain routes and thus elm
mate overlapping Of service
Applications to have the agreements
sanctioned were filed by the WASH
ington. Virginia & Maryland Co.. Inc;
the Arnold interests, and the Arling-
ton & Fairfax Transportation Co. The
anticipated approval of the I. c. c. is
subject also to approval Of the Virginia
Corporation Commission, the applica-
tons pointed out ...-..
The chief points cited in the agree
ment are:
Arnold its operating rights over Wash
ington boulevard between Glebe road
and Falls Church.
Glebe Road Route.
The A. & F. also will allow Arnold
to operate exclusively over Glebe road
and Pershing drive to Sixteenth street
South. and over Sixteenth street
south to Quincy street. will with
draw its application for extension of
operations over Glebe road from
Pershing drive to Wilson boulevard and
will eliminate that portion Of an ex-
tension applied for south of Lee boule-
ward and on South Highland street
between Lee boulevard and Seventh
street south.
The Arnold concern. In turn, will
abandon the present route over North
Irving street north, between Lee boule-
ward and Wilson boulevard, and will
not pick up passengers at Court House
road nor at any point between Court
House road, Lee boulevard and Fort
Myer drive, while reserving the right
to take them at Fort Myer drive and

any extension Of Arnold service north
Of Washington boulevard. Arould will
be free to extend its lines over Persh-
ing drive between North Irving street
and Arlington Ridge road and over
North Highland street north, between
Lee boulevard and Lee highway.

oppose any extension of A. & F. service
south of Lee boulevard and will not
itself apply for such service without
permission of the other corporation.
The applications point out that
under the present system of routes the
bus lines 80 cross and intermingle
as to interfere with operations being
conducted to the greatest advantage to
the public and to the carriers"
