Shoot II Duce at Will

ROME Correspondence of the Asso-

cameras.
They are Italy's press photographers
Armed with green Identification cards,
they are at liberty to snap II Duce any
time they see him.
And this permission is meant literally
They do not photograph him often at his
desk In the Palazzo Venezia or inside his
Roman villa because they are not allowed
inside except on special occasions. But
once the Fascist chieftain ventures out
he is fair game.
II Duce is at complete ease under the
gaze Of candid cameras. They may
catch him with his shirt of, pitching
hay, or with napkin tucked in his COL
lar, rolling spaghetti on his fork In the
good old Italian manner. It's all the
same
There is only one no" The camera
men cannot photograph him on his
knees. They remember once when they
caught Mussolini at a ceremony In St.
Peters, kneeling.
Photographers say that on the whole
he probably likes having his picture
made. But they are sure the years Of
facing the lenses have robbed him Of
any thrill.

Geography Inspires
New Feminine Fashions

It takes an atlas and a current events
calendar to understand the new fem
mime fashions recently reported from
Paris including Zulu brown and
'Zouave" trousers and bolero.
"One of the worlds most dashing mill
tary costumes according to the Ma
tional Geographic Society, "is that worn
by the Zouaves of the French Army.
1t comprises baggy trousers gathered in
at gaiter tops, tasseled cap or turban
and a decorated bolero. Originally ma
tive mercenaries of Algeria, the Zouaves
today are French soldiers in picturesque
Arab dress.
"At the recent military display in
Paris of British-French power the
Zouaves added brilliant spot of color
to the spectacle. AS to Zulu brown,
the Zulus are q native African tribe
now concentrated in Zululand, a province
of Natal in the Union of South Africa.
Noted for their warlike character and
stern discipline, they long fought against
both Boer and British domination.
More impressive than the mere use
Of their name in new color fashion is
the adaptation in the far-fung Boy
Scout movement of certain principles
of Zulu youth training in woodcraft and
self-reliance. It was after his expert
ences with the zulus in South African
campaigns that Col. Baden-Powell Of
the British Army returned to England
to organize In 1907 tho drst training
camp Of Boy scouts."

and Czecho- -Slovakia, which was better
supplied than Germany, so that the to-
tails for the Greater Reich today prob
ably do not show much change from the
1887 estimate. She Is fully self sufficient
in potatoes and beet sugar, but is Sc
riously deficient in fats. Her dependence
for cereals varies according to the state
of harvests and the supply of fertilizers.
In bad years, such as 1887, up to Is per
cent of her cereal needs must be met by
importation, largely from Hungary, Po-
land and Rumania. She lacks maize,
necessary for feeding of cattle and pigs,
and imports it from Yugoslavia, Ru-
mania and Bulgaria. Her supplies of
livestock and meat are almost sef-suf-
ficient if supplies Of maize and other
fodder can be imported freely, according
to the British estimate, though the Ger
man citizen, under the rationing system,
gets q very small amount of meat in
deed by American standards.
The shortage of fats and oils is the
most serious in the foodstuf1s line. But
ter imports have been increasing since
1888, chiefly from Denmark, the Baltic
states and Poland. She imports oil
seeds amounting to six times her butter
imports, chiefly from Africa, India and
the Far East, and whale oil double the
volume Of the butter imports, from
Norway.

represent Der Fuehrers true feelings
Since he had not said it before and
since the statement now comes so soon
after the signing of the Russo-German
pact, 1t may be merely temporary con-
cesslon to Russia, within whose borders
the greater part of the Ukraine lies.
An independent Ukraine is a part of
traditional German foreign policy. The
Germans encouraged Ukrainian ma
tionalist feeling before the World War
IN order to weaken the Poles, an old
German foe. Kaiser Wilhelm actually
set up an independent Ukraine state
during the war and forced Russia to ac-
cept it under the treaty of Brest-Litoysk.
Many historians are agreed that If
Germany had won the war the Ukraine
would have been set up as a new nation
Instead of Poland. And it would have
been done at the expense of the Russians
and the Poles.
Threefold Advantage.
The value of an independent Ukraine
to Hitler at the present time would ap-
pear to be threefold:

Mount Vernon Highway
Scout Cars Considered

If the expense does not prove too
great the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway and the c. & o. Canal
Parkway will be patroled in the
future by park police scout cars
equipped with two-way radio sets.
Because of the long distances be-
tween telephones in both these sec
tions Of the National Capital Park
system, plans for such radio con-
nection between headquarters and
patrolling cars are being discussed
by National Capital Parks officials
and the United States Coast Guard
radio division, the parks Office said
today.
Eventually, officials hope, most of
the park police cars will be equipped
with sending and receiving sets.
II current funds allotted to the
parks office for radio expenditures
do not prove sufficient to install
trial sets in the highway and canal
patrol cars, congressional appropria-
ton will be sought for the purpose,
officials said.
It was pointed out that the park
police force is sorely in need of such
communication, as it must patrol
some 700 park areas with a force
which averages 20 men at any one
time on active duty.
