MUSSOLINI RAP
STIRS GERMANY
n ' - i
Premier’s Speech Seen
^ as Possible Threat
** of Armed Force
.—„ .
—
(By The Associated Press.)
BERLIN Feb. 8.—There is much per-
turbation and no little ill feeling in
Germany over the speech delivered
Saturday in the chamber of deputies in
Rome by Premier Mussolini with regard
to an anti-Italian campaign alleged to
havm been propagated by Germans in
the Upper Adige.
Although the German* government
has made no reply pending receipt of
the text of the speech the utterances
of Mussolini are considered the strong-
est used by any statesman since the
war toward a country with which his
country is at peace.
Mussolini’s address is regarded as
having been occasioned by a recent
speech of Dr. Held the militant Ba-
varian premier who requested all good
Germans to help their fellow country-
mem in southern Tyrol which was
awarded to Italy by the treaty of St.
Germaine.
Particular attention is being paid to
Mussolini’s threat after characterizing
‘the alleged German anti-Italian cam-
paign as “nefarious ridiculous and
lying” that “sometimes it is necessary
to pay with two eyes for the loss of
one and with a whole set of teeth for
the loss of one tooth.”
His remark that “fascist Italy can
if necessary carry further beyond its
tri-co)or but never lower it” is regard-
ed in some quarters as a direct threat
that the Italians may ‘move further into
Austrian territory if such a step
should be considered necessary. Mus-
solini at the time was referring to the
Italian position at the Brenner Pass
which is on the Austro-ltalian frontier
and is the shortest route from Central
Germany into Italy.
A move to recall the Italian ambassa-
dor is interpreted locally as an expres-
sion of Italy’s distrust of Germany and
Mussolini’s challenge is viewed as an
inauspicious omen for Germany’s entry
into the league of nations.
Italian Press Sees
JWarning to Germany
ROME Feb. 8.—Premier Mussolini's
speech in the chamber Saturday warn-
ing Germany against an anti-Italian
campaign must not be interpreted as a
bugle call to a new war declares II
Messaggero but as the language of a
race which will tolerate no offenses.
“The new Italy desires peace in Eur-
ope as was shown at Locarno where
she willingly guaranteed the Rhine fron-
tier” the paper continues “but the
situation of Locarno does not place her
'under the nec^fsf^'ctf'^iJd’ifT^ng’' provo-
cations without protest or tolerating of-
fenses without reaction.”
On the other hand II Tevere extreme
fascist organ under the heading “a
word to the wise is sufficient” says that
the Pan-Germanists would do well to
keep in mind that Mussolini’s speech
was followed by the singing in the
chamber of the fascist song The re-
frain of which is “to arms.” The
Giornale D’ltalia says the premier’s ut-
terances represent exactly the thought
of all Italians no opposition existing
on this ground. “The territory as far
as Brennero is doubly sacred because it
was conquered through sacrifices of
blood and because it is the strategic
bulwark of the northern frontier.
“Italy fought Austria willingly in or-
der to achieve unification of the moth-
er country” it adds. “Now that the
object is reached she will not permit
anybody with more or less underhand-
ed tactics to interfere in the national
work.”
Air Field Buildings
Near Dayton Burned
DAYTON Ohio Feb. 8.—Three major
buildings and several smaller ones at
the Fairfield air intermediate depot
(Wilbur Wright Field) near here burn-
ed today. A brisk breeze rapidly spread
the flames but at the same time forced
the fire away from other buildings. Loss
is estimated at $250000.

Few rent houses are being construct-

Mostly new construction is intended
for occupancy by the owners.
But some accommodation must be
provided for those numerous fami-
lies who come into this section and
cannot build homes for one reason or
another.
Apartments provide the way out.
Folks are willing to pay reasonable
rents for comfortable living quarters.

The decision of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission on the Southern Pa-
cific application is being eagerly await-
ed.
It was expected last week. It did not
materialize. So we have another week
in which to expect it.
* * *
The city commission of Brownsville
has authorized a new bituminous sur-
face for the wood block paving in the
business district.
Splendid. The wood block paving has
seen its best days. Put down fourteen
years ago it has served very well and
with a new surface will be good for
many years to come.
Its chief defect has been that water
of|en found its way under the blocks
which rests on a concrete base and
they buckled badly. With a bituminous
surface water will be unable to get un-
der the blocks.
Eirownsville has much td do in the
toe*t feW years. The city commission
peejfcis to bo headed right for big work.

“Th^y haven’t missed a single day at school!”
** l he v’re well all the time. The doctor says they are the healthiest children he knows.
“He told me constipation is what makes so many growing children sickly. Poisons
from the waste matter spread through the little bodies and lower their resistance
to disease. So I’m very careful to guard against constipation. I simply give them
a little Nujol every night.
“Nujol isn’t a laxative at all you know but it keeps them just as regular as clockwork.
They like it and the doctor says it’s just the tning for them.”
Nujol Helps Nature in Nature’s Own Way
Mothers are the best friends of Nujol.
When their children’s health is at stake
they seek the remedy that medical au-
thorities approve because it is so safe so
gentle so natural in its action.
Constipation is dangerous for anybody.
Nujol is safe for everybody. It does not
affect the stomach and is not absorbed
by the body.
Nujol simply makes up for a deficiency-
temporary or chronic—in the supply of
natural lubricant in the intestines. It soft-
ens the waste matter and thus permits
thorough and regular elimination with-
out overtaxing the intestinal muscles.
Nujol can be taken for any length of time without
ill effects. To insure internal cleanliness.it should
be taken regularly in accordance with the direc-
tions on each bottle. Unlike laxatives.it does not
form a habit and can be discontinued at any time.
Ask your druggist for Nujol today and let your
children enjoy the perfect health that is possible
only when their elimination is normal and regular.

Commission to Consider
American Contract Re-
fused by Moody
(By The Associated Press.)
FORT WORTH Tex. Feb. 8.—The
Star Telegram today says that the state
text book commission which has been
called to meet in special session at
Austin tomorrow over the alleged con-
tract with the American Book company
is expected to develop a fight that will
attract statewde attention.
When the commission met last year to
select textbooks for the public schools
the contract of the American Book
company was not approved by the at-
torney general because the bid had not
been accompanied by an anti-trust af-
fidavit signed by the secretary of the
company.
A sub-committee of the commission
accepted the bid of the American com-
pany for a speller and a high school
science subject to approval of the at-
torney general. Two members of the
sub-committee H. A. Wroe and Govern-
or Miriam A. Ferguson later voted to
accept the bid over the attorney gen-
eral’s protest. S. M N. Marrs state
superintendent bf public instruction
voted against acceptance. He announ-
ced later that he would follow the at-
torney general’s advice on whether
these books should be placed on the
certified list.

One of the anonymous circulars now

there must be more "educational work”

“The theory of government” said the
president “implies that every official
so long as he retains office shall pur-
port himself with respect toward his
superiors. This is especially true of
those in the military service. Unless
this rule is applied there can be no dis-
cipline in the army and navy without
which these two forces would not only

NEW YORK N. Y. Feb. 8.—The body
of a. well dressed unidentified young
woman about 2d years old with bobbed
auburn hair who had been shot to death
was found today on a snowbank at 54th
street and Avenue A.
There was a bullet wound in the right
temple another in the breast and her
nose was fractured.
Police are inclined to believe the
ciime was committed elsewhere and that
the body was tossed on the three foot
pile of snow from an automobile.

Meanwhile the victim of the attack
lies in a precarious condition in the hos-
pital at Milford suffering from seven
skull fractures received when the negro
clubbed and assaulted her near her
home at Bridgeville on January 21. The
negro has confessed police say.
The crime aroused such intense indig-
nation throughout Lower Delaware that
a mob of five hundred men searched

“Any monopoly of the bread business
is impossible so long as the housewife
can buy all the necessary ingredients

baking” he said. He denied that the
formation of the company has lessened
competition.
George <5. Barber chair.Can of the
board of directors of the corporation
testified thirt the firm had been organ-
ized November 26 31124. under the Mary-
land laws “to buy bakeries and for oth-
er purposes named in our charter.”
“Bigger and better service" was th-
scope of the organization he declared.
The hearing was before John W. Ad-
dison a federal trade commission exam-
iner with Colonel A. R. Brindley acting
as attorney.
Colonel Brindley said the corpora-
tion's answer to the complaint in ad-
mitting an absorption of subsidiary cor-
porations had narrowed the issues to
two:
“First whether the absorbed corpo-
rations had been engaged in commerce
within the meaning of the law.
“Second whether their absorption
had led to the results outlined in the
complaint violation of the Clayton
act.”
