Duce's Hats
Worry Wife

New York, July 29-Restraining
Mussolini's weakness for elaborate
headgear is one of the major func-
tions of II Duce's wife, Donna
Rachele Mussolini, according to a
survey of the duties of FaSciSm'S
First Lady published today in Col
lier's.
The article, the magazines editors
numerous inquiries for information
about the only spouse of major Eu-
ropean Dictator both Hitler and
Stain being unmarried. It was writ
ten by Frank Gervasi, who spent
ten years in Rome as an American
correspondent and knows intimately
the entire Mussolini family. Regard
ing Mussolini's penchant for fantas-
tic hats, Gervasi says:
soften Donna Rachele catches
Benito admiring himself in new
headgear before mirror. Hastily she
telephones their daughter Edda
Countess Ciano) who comes forth
with to argue, advise, reject, SYM
pathize or approve. At least one hum
dred times Edda and Rachele have
prevented Benito from appearing in
public in fancy ostrich plumes or a
Napoleonic eXaggeration that might
have reawakened the Italian sense of
humOr.'
Describing Donna Mussolini as still
a peasant woman, who prefers bread
and onions to caviar, and keeps a
chicken house and fenced in run
back of the sumptuous Villa Torlonia
in Rome, the article states:
"Rachele operates the huge house
with the aid of only Emilia, an as
sistant cook, a butler, a housemaid
and a girl of all work. When things
get jammed because of illness of one
of the servants, or merely because
Rachele likes to do it, she steps into
the shoes of any one or two of the
hired hands. Her dresses are made
by a neighborhOod seamstress and
look exactly like those of any lower
middle-claSs Italian woman.
"MOSt trying of all for Rachele is
the Roman summer, hot, humid and
depressing. The days are enervating,
the nights hot and heavy. On such
nights the dictator cannot sleep. He
wanders fretfully from room to room
searching for a cool spot. Rachele
hears him prowling about. She rises
and tiptoes after him. She watches
him discard his pajama jacket, stand
before a window to breathe deeply.
He is built like Miura bull. Mus
solini turns, throws himself upon
couch.
"Rachele waits until he snores.
Stealthily she draws a light silken
wrapper over the reposing figure.
She can't go to sleep. He might
awaken, prowl about some more
catch cold in drafts. She must be

2. The unsettled condition Of con-
tinental affairs especially reflected
upon the finances. State currency
was worthless and there was nothing
else with which to pay salaries or ex-
penseS of the States delegates. To-
bacco and other products were used
in instances to pay transportation ex-
penses of the North Carolina dele
gates to the congress.
3. James j. Mckay, born in Bladen
county in 1893. Mckay spent 18 years
in congress beginning in 1881 and at
one time was chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. He died
in Goldsboro in 1853.
4. On August 8, 1774, at meet
ing of freeholders of Rowan county,
in Salisbury, the following resolu-
ton was adopted: 'Resolved, That
the African Trade is injurious to this
Colony, obstructs the Population of
it by Freemen, prevents manufacture
ers, and other Useful Emigrants from
Europe from settling among us =. "
5. Census reports list 944 such
plants employing about 1000 per-
sons with combined volume output
of about $75,000,000.
g. The sacrity of Indian corn in the
state warehouse was given as the
reason by Governor Alexander Mar
tin. On June 10, 1882 Governor Mar
tin notified the county commission
ers that payment of the certificates

Greenville To
Have Grading

Washington, July 29.-Orders is
sued by the acting secretary of agri-
culture call for mandatory Federal
inspection of tobacco offered for sale
on the Greenville, N. c., market, the
Agricultural Marketing Service an
nounced today. Greenville, with an
nual sales ranging from so to 70 mil
lion pounds, is the second largest
market in the flue cured area.
Designation of the Greenville mar
ket for the inspection and grade GER
tification supplied by authority of
the tobacco inspection act of 1885
brings the number of designated mar
kets to a total of 38. These include
four other markets in North Carolina
three in South Carolina, three in
Georgia, seven in Virginia, Is in
Kentucky, three in Tennessee, and
one each in West Virginia and Ohio:
Growers voting in the Greenville
referendum held in late June, voted
86 percent in favor of the mandatory
inspection. The inspection service
will get under way when the Green
vile market opens August 22 Fed
eral inspection was inaugurated re-
Gently on three Georgia markets
Adel, Nashville, and Douglas. Sales
on the Georgia markets, designated
in late June, opened July 25.
No charge is made for the inspec-
ton at designated markets. Supple
menting its inspection, the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service issues price
reports showing the average current
prices for each grade for the type
area. Growers are thus supplied with
information as to the grades of their
tobacco and price quotations for
those grades based upon current
sales.

WHICH VISITOR LEAVES
FIRST

Dear Mrs. Post: VIII you please
tell me who is supposed to leave
first when two people pay a friend
a visit on the same afternoon, the
one who was there first, or the
second who interrupted their
visit.
Answer: In most situations the
one who arrived first is expected
to leave first. An exception is when
the first is a very intimate friend
who has come to spend the after
noon. and the other one a formal
visitor. A still more particular ex-
ception is when the hostess is not
married and the first visitor is a
man she seems 10 like. In both
cases the second visitor should
leave first, in the second instance
very soon. II goes without saying,
of course. that I am not consider
ing a question Of three intimate
friends who more than likely

slider the intimate girl friend who

II turned out to be good idea
as she found that the Deluxe

her one on the proper method OF

The book was a gold mine of
information on little tricks she
never would have guessed for her
self.
She had seen many meal deft-

had never bothered with all the
mechanics and painstaking care
that make such service possible.
In the midst of a chapter on
how to serve a banquet, she sud

UNUSUAL WAY TO USE
VISITING CARDS TO-DAY

Dear Mrs. Fost: A few days
after my wedding invitations were
sent out, my parents received an
envelope with two Mr.. and Mrs.
Cards enclosed, and no message,
from friends of the groom's fam
lily who are strangers TO us. What
does this mean? We have never
heard of it.
Answer: 1t means that they will
be unable to come to the wedding
and that the sending of their cards
is to be considered the same as the
paying of two formal visits, one
upon your mother and father and
the other upon you and your hus-
band. BY and by, If you want to
be very polite, you and your
mother go and leave your cards
at their door. This is one of yes
terday's very empty social forms
that has grown almost obsolete
outside of diplomatic circles. Pos
sibly there too
