OPTOMETRISTS IN
 ANNUAL CONGRESS
Three Local Doctors to At= tend Sessions in Boston
 Tomorrow

pr. Stanley H. Crater, Dr. George Cronin, and Dr. Pasquale Palomba will attend the annual congress of the New England Council of Optom- etrists which will be held on March 1922 at the Hotel Statler in Boston, Mass. Dr. John J. O'Neil, of Springfield, Mass, president of the council, will preside.
 One of the features of the coun- Gill will be the appearance of Dr. Marvin Blaess of Detroit, Michigan, well known for his writings on ocu- lar pathology. Another high-light will be a paper, with slide illustra- tions on Studies in the Compara- tive Neurology of Vision" by Profess sor Carl s. Lashley, of the Labora- tory of Physiological Psychology, Harvard University.
 Other outstanding educators and lecturers who will appear on the program will be Dr. T. A. Brombach of San Francisco, Dr. John E. Cor bett, Boston; Dr. Glenn A. Fry, Ohio State University, Columbus; Dr. Lewis H. Kreskin, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Julius Neumuller of Southbridge, Mass; Scott Sterling of Rochester, N. Y. and Dr. Ralph Green, of Boston.

passed it will go first to the Duce and then to the king for approval.
 Bills of minor importance will never come before the assembly. They will be handled directly by the legislative commissions, who will also decide on their passage. If passed they will then follow the procedure of bills of major impor- tance and go to the duce and king for approval. These commissions will be- obliged by law to vote on minor bills within IS days of their introduction.
 Commissions Are Importan
 The legislative commissions will play an important role in the new chamber. They will number about 10 and be composed of some 50 members each. They will more or less follow the ministerial divi- sions, although ministers and un- der-secretaries will not be permit ted to hold posts in them. They will be in permanent session.
 The creation of the new cham Der with its commissions will have it's repercussions on the senate The most important will be the increase in the number of senators and the creation of commissions along similar lines of the chamber ones.
 At the beginning of the last legis- lature, the number of senators appointed only by the king amounted to 460. As a result of deaths the number decreased to $50. For practical reasons the number will be increased to 500. Thus the king will be obliged to make wholesale appointments.
 This number will be necessary, since commissions along the lines of the chamber ones are to be cre- ated. Ten commissions of about 50 members each account for the in- crease.
 AS in the past, the senate will continue to be considered the se- nior body. It represents the cul- tural and scholarly political body of the nation, and the appoint ment of the individual members by the king will continue to give the sovereign an indirect control on the policies of the nation.

the reorganized senate. The inno- vations, which have been intro duced, are described as progressive moves in legislative technique.
 Secret Vote Abolished
 The most important - of theo- retical but not practical impor. tance-is the abolition of the se- cret vote. Critics of the regime in- sist that the secre vote in Italy, since Fascism has come to power, has at most been a mere formality.
 Bills will continue to be con- verted into law either through government or parliamentary in- itiative, with only slight modified tions in the procedure.
 Bills converted into law through government initiative are called decree-laws. That, is, the cabinet often converts application because of necessity or urgency. It is later formalized by chamber and senate votes.
 The decree-law will continue to be used under the new system. However, it will not be abused or overdone as could have been done in the past. Hereafter only meas ures of financial or political na- lures of financil or politcial na- ture, requiring most urgent atten- ton" will be handled by the cab- inet first and later voted by the assemblies.
 Procedure Generally the Same
 Bills converted into law through parliamentary initiative will con- tinue to be the more general prac- tice. AS in the democracies, bills are introduced in the chamber or senate by member of either house or a cabinet member.
 Here the similarities with the democracies cease. The procedure will be different, dependin gon the importance of the measure and the channels 1t must pursue before it is transformed into law.
 In the case of a bill of major importance, it will be introduced before the assembly and then turned over for study to a regular legislative or specially created commission, depending on the na- ture of the bill. It will then be re- turned to the assembly for vote. If

tween $50 and 704. Of this number about 130 will be furnished by the party and the rest by the council of corporations. The Duce is the only person who is @ permanent member of the new chamber.
 General elections in Italy thus will be eliminated. All councillors will retain their seats in the cham Der as iong as they continue to hold their posts in one or the other of the two councils. Removal from either one means automatic re- moval from the chamber. Senators have been and will continue to be selected by the king.
 Members Must be 25
 The minimum age requirement is 25. To be a councillor one must be married and "of Italian race. This automatically excludes bach elors, who "set a poor example for the race" and non-Aryans, who hereafter in Italy will be "discrim- mated against but not persecuted," according to an offical statement.
 There will not be any duplica- tion of posts as senators, for mem- bers of the Royal Italian Academy cannot become councillors. For that matter an Academician can- not become senator.
 The political representation in the chamber supplied by the party - will not be furnished by the kingdom alone. Italians in the overseas possessions and in foreign lands also will be represented Ethiopia will have six councillors, the Dodecanese Islands one, Ital- ians abroad, four. Even the War Veterans and Mutilated War Vet erans' societies-which have been integrated into the party each will have councillor.
 All the members of the Fascist Grand Council and the hierarchs of the party, including the 98 fed- eral secretaries, also will be repre- sented

 Rome, March 18-(UP)-Faseist Italy will compete transition from Q parliamentary to a cooperative state when the new Chamber of Passes and Corporations meets at the Palazzo Montecitorio on March 26 and 1t will serve to commem- crate the 2oth anniversay of Pre- mier Mussolini's Fascist party.
 The old Chamber of Deputies was killed last October by the Fascist Grand Council, through which Mussolini has gradually transformed the machinery of the state, which was in parliamentary chaos when he seized power in Rome.
 In the Fascist State, private in- itiative must be exercised within the state, for the good of the state, and subjest to the discipline im- posed by the state. Mussolini more aptly expresses 1t as nothing out side the state, nothing against the state, everything within the state" This places the emphasis, not on individual gains, but on collective benefits.
 Members Called Councillors
 Members of the new chamber no longer will be known as deputies, nor will they be chosen by elec- tions. That title implies the idea of exercising a personal mandate, such as congressman in the United States, M. P's in Great Britain and deputies in France. Hereafter they will be called national councillors. Such a name portrays clearly the idea that they are councillors or advisors of the government in the formation of laws.
 The chambers membership will be drawn entirely from the Ma tional Council of the Fascist party and the National Council of Cor porations. AS these two bodies, re- spectively, represent the political inetrests and the economic and productive organization of the na- tion, their membership in the chamber will provide direct and totalitarian representation of all national interests"
 The councillors will vary be-
