Bore Famous Name.
The name of Jacob Jones is a
famous one in American naval
history.
1t originally was borne by a
doughty Yankee skipper who fought
the British in the War of 1872 and
campaigned with Stephen Decatur
against the Barbary pirates.
The name was given during the
last war to the only United States
destroyer to be sunk by a German
submarine Two years after the
sinking of the original Jacob Jones,
it's namesake was launched.
The sinking of the Jacob Jones
in World War I occurred December
6, 1917. The vessel was en- route
from Brest to the United States and
was between England and Ireland,
when its lookout spotted torpedo
racing toward the starboard side of
the ship.
The torpedo struck the vessel
squarely, and the order to abandon
ship was given Immediately. All who
survived the blast jumped overheard,
and eight minutes later the vessel
went down.

Duke of Aosto, Former Viceroy
Of Ethiopia, Dies a Prisoner
EmmunueI's Cousin
Had Been Captured
By British in 1941

BY the Associated Press.
NAIROBI, Kenya Colony, March
3.-The Duke of Aosta, Viceroy OF
Ethiopia who became British pris-
oner of war, died today.
The duke, a second cousin Of
Italian King Victor Emmanuel, was
43 years old.
He contracted tuberculosis after
being placed in an officers prison
camp following his surrender in
Ethiopia last May.
The Duke of Aosta was a brawny,
unconventional member of the
Italian royal family, the only prom
inent person in the House of Savoy
who continued to be an ardent
supporter of Premier Mussolini and
his Fascist regime.
The dukes father was one of the
first to support Mussolini when
II Duce first began organizing the
Blackshirts and because of this the
duke almost was given a chance
to become King Of Italy.
MusSolini once thought he might
be able to break the line of direct
succession to the crown in favor of
the handsome, 6-foot- tall Aosta. He
wanted that especially because the
more restrained and more intel
lectual Crown Prince Umberto had
definite dislike for MusSolini. But
the conventional King Victor En-
manuel oppoSed any change and
won on the point of Umberto re-
manning Crown Prince.
Won Out Over King.
Aosta won once against the King
when he wanted to succeed Marshal
Rodolfo Graziani in 1887 as Viceroy
of Ethiopia. The King did not want
the House of Savoy involved too
much in the italian victory over
Halle Seiassies kingdom until it
was determined whether MuSsolinis
conquest was to be permanent. AS
subsequent events proved. the King
was canny in this. but the Fascist
Grand Council decided otherwise.
There was no question about it
being a distinct honor when Aosta
was made Viceroy of Ethiopia; he
was later to leave as a prisoner of
the British Army which restored
Emperor Halle Selassie to his throne
in Adds Ababa.
There was no talk, such as there
was when Italo Balbo was "exiled"
to be Governor of Libya.
Aosta, unlike Marshal Balbo, was
such an out-and-out supporter of
Mussolini's regime that he made
many rash statements in support of
the FaScistS which could not stand
the test of time.
For instance, he once issued a
statement in Adds Ababa saying
the Ethiopians ARE so satisfied with
italian rule they would rise to repel

Treasury Planning to Deduct
1912 Tuxes From Pay Checks

check off 10 per cent of any wages
in excess of those amounts and send
the money to the Treasury every
month. If the employe had chill
dren or other dependents, an ad-
ditional $3.50 a week would be ex-
empt from the deduction for each
dependent. Thus married man
with two children, earning $50 a
week, would have an exemption of
$32 plus SIT, or $40, and his en-
ployer would deduct only 10 per
cent of the remaining one dollar
of his salary, and the Treasury
would get 10 cents a week.
Dividends and interest-In certain
cases, particularly stock dividends
and corporate bond interest, the cor
porations would deduct fiat 10 per
cent without exemptions) and send
it to the Treasury.

Legislator Declares Films
On Sabbath Will Keep
U. S. From Winning War
b. the Associated Press.

by INC Associated freSS.
JACKSON, Miss, March 3.-The
Mississippi Senate has voted to lib
eralize a 120-year-old blue law by
making Sunday movies legal, but still
taboo on the Sabbath are bull fights,
cock fights, bear batting and other
amuSements.
During a bitter debate preceding
the 29-to-10 approval, one opponent
warned that America would never
win the war while Sunday movies
are being held.
One Senator charged that the
Pearl Harbor tragedy came about
because soldiers were not at their
posts. They were attending Sum
day movies" Joe DAVIS shouted.
Asserting that the Hawaiian at
tack was at 7:l5- am, Senator Earl
Richardson shot back, That's
a mighty funny time for anybody
to be at the movies" q
The measure provides for Sunday
movies for the duration of the war
in municipalities within 80 miles Of
any Army base or camp and con-
tains a local option provision. Sew
eral Army officers urged Its ap-
proval.
The downfall Of every nation so
far has been due to two things,
Senator Olen C. Hull argued. first
desecration of the holy Sabbath
day and second, loss of the virtue
of its womanhood.
He warned that in approving the
bill the Senators were voting to
violate the laws Of God"
The bill now goes to the House
for action where Sunday movie bills
have been killed twice previously

Fought in World War.
The eldest son of the Duke and
Duchess of Aosta, he began his mil
itary career at 16 when he depart
ed for the front in the First World
War with the rank of corporal. He
was born in Turin on October 81,
1898.
After the war he was unheard Of
for some time and then suddenly
turned up as foreman Of a soap
factory In the Belgian Congo.
Returning to the royal circles of
Rome, he took the oath of Senator
in 1921. After his marriage to Prin-
cess Anne of Belgium in Naples
May II. 1927, he started anew on
his military career and led the
Italian forces which defeated re-
bellious tribesmen in Italian At

In 1881 Mussolini decorated him
for his African campaigns. Later he
was made brigadier general of the
air forces.
Considered for Throne.
The Fascist Council seriously con-
sidered placing him on the throne Of
Albania in 1899, but world events
were happening too fast, and this
did not come to pass.
After he was made Viceroy Of
Ethiopia it was reported that he was
desperately unhappy in this assign
ment, although he personally led
the italian troops when the British
started in to reclaim Halle Selassie's s
kingdom.
In May, l941, the show was fin
ished for him. The Duke walked out
on the battlefield of Amba Alaji,
made the symbolic gesture of plac-
ing his hand on the dark Ethiopian
earth and then saluted his British

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit was sitting in the
middle Of the deal, Old Brier Patch
jolly, round. red Mr.. Sun had just
begun his daily climb up In the blue,
blue sky, and Peter was wondering
where he would go and what he
would do when he heard q sound
that caused him to suddenly sit
up very straight with both ears
pointing right up to the sky. Peter
held his breath for minute and
then he kicked his heels together
for joy. 1t was just the softest,
sweetest whistle! It wasn't merry
and it wasn't sad; 1t was just beau
tiful. And it seemed to come from
everywhere and nowhere-just out
Of the air.
"Winsome Bluebird!" cried Peter
Rabbit. "Oh, it's Winsome Blue
bird! I wonder where he is! He
sounds a long way of and yet he
may be close by. Oh, I do wonder
if I'm the first one to hear him!"
II guess you are. Peter" said
soft voice II guess you are. be-
cause you see I've just arrived and
I came straight to the Old Brier
Patch, because I just knew that
you would be looking for me and 1
wanted you to have the pleasure of
being the first to see me. Why
don't you look up In the little
cherry tree over your head, Peter,
and say something's"
OF course, Peter felt very foolish,
and he looked just as he felt, as he
saw Winsome Bluebird sitting right
over his head. You see that soft,
beautiful voice had seemed to come
from everywhere, and Peter hadn't
been able to tell just where it did
come from.
"Oh. Winsome!" he cried. "Oh,
Winsome, I'm so glad you're here
at last! I'm so happy I could sing
with joy"
"Ho, no, Peter!" laughed Winsome
Bluebird. DO try it. I should love
to hear you sing"
Peter grinned. "Well anyway, il
1 can't sing I can dance" he cried
and right away began the funniest
little dance that ever was. Finally
he had to stop to get his breath.
There. that's how glad I ami" he
cried. Nov tell me all the news,
Winsome."
"Oh. I couldn't. Peter. I couldn't
tell you all. There's too much to
tell and I haven't got time now.
You know there are others waiting
for me-"
But do tell me If Mistress Spring
is most here" begged Peter.
"Of course she is! Don't you
know I am her herald? I've come
all the way up from down south
just ahead Of her to tell everybody
that she is coming. You know that
is what a herald is for. I had
rather be the herald Of Mistress
Spring. than anything else in all
the world" Winsome half lifted
his beautiful blue wings as he said
this.
Don't go!" cried Peter. II guess
I know how you feel. 1t must be
perfectly splendid to make every
body glad and happy as you do.
II wish I could be herald"
Winsome Bluebird laughed - the
sweetest laugh. II guess you don't
need to be a herald to make people
glad to see you, Peter" he said.
Besides, you know you can be sort
of herald by telling everybody you
meet that I am here"
That's sol" Peter cried. That's
one reason I like to be first to see
or hear you. It's great fun to see
how pleased everybody is when they
know that you have arrived. II
hope nothing will happen to make
Mistress Spring late"
