FASCIST DEPUTY!
GROUP MODEL
Writer Finds Italian House
Strangest And Best
Behaved
HOME. Aug. 13.—(AV-Of the
three lower houses of parliament
that this writer has been privileged
to ’ cover” in the course of r years'
newspaper work. thFpresent Italian
chamber of ieputies. the all-fascist
"corporative chamber” is both the
strangest and the best behaved.
Strangest because there are no
blocs groups or parties strictly
speaking although every member if
supposed to represent some corpor-
ative or guild Interest. Strangest
too. because it holds only night ses-
sions. and is patient during theav
Strangest of all finally because it
is so thoroughly under the domin-
ation of one personality—Deputy
Benito Mussolin*. There* s no heck-
ling or baiting ie premier in the
palace of Montecittorio where the
chamber sits.
It is a well-behaved body it may
be presumed largely because it was
hand picked. 'Hie fascist grand
council in making up its nation-
wide list of 00 candidates so tri-
umphantly elected on March 24. ev-
idently took extreme care to excludr
trouble makers. There is not in
the entire house a mischief provok-
er of the stamp of Leon Daudet.
French royalist deputy from 1919 tc
1924 nor is there one with anything
approaching he ramb’inctiousness
of a captain turbulent gentleman
from Texas who formerly sat in the
house of representatives.
This agglomeration of “good
boys.” then makes the task of
President Girulati extremely simple
Not once durli • the most recent
session did he have to ring his bell
put on his stovepipe hat and sus-
pend the sitting as the writer has
»n any number of French pre-
ing officers obliged to do. and
catcalls (“cries of animals.” as the
Parisian parliamentary reporters so
euphemistically put it) epithets and
often fisticuffs. He has not ever
had to utter the Italian equivalent
of “The house will be in order!"
which Frederick Gtllett of Massa-
1 chuaetts used to enunciate with such
_ Puritan rigor in the days when he
was speaker of the house.

Mergers Hark Back
To Feudal System
NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—(*>►—'The
growing tendency in business to-
ward consolidation with gigant.c
corporations has inspired me sug-
gestion that modem business may
be moving toward a feudal system
of its own.
The movement to gain security
under the protecting arm of gigan-
tic super-hoi: es has spread among
banks industries stores and com-
mercial and professions] enterprises
of all kinds.
Independent units dwindle in
number each year. They find it dif-
ficult to meet the competition of
centrally administered organiza-
tions which can operate on small
profit margins.
Electricians plumbers even shoe
repairmen and skilled workers of
all kinds have come under the same
Influence. Instead of individuals
operating their shops on a personal
basis they have become employes of
corporate organizations.
The professions of law. medicine
dentistry science and engineering
have not escaped. Thousands of
graduates are finding that they
must hitch their wagons to some
central organization to make a liv-
ing.
POSTAL PLANS
FAST SERVICE‘Small Packets’ Plan To Be
Instituted By Interna-
tional Union
LONDON. Aug. 13.—(/P)—Business
houses doing an international mail
order trade will profit from the cre-
ation of a new service by the Inter-
national postal union the ninth
congress of which has just ended
here.
The international organization
created 55 years ago. has instituted
a new "small packets" service which
is in effect a service of small par-
cels canned with the speed of let-
ters. It is designed to provide for
the carriage of merchandise sent
either by traders or by private per-
sons. up to the weight of two pounds
at a rate of postage appreciably
lower than that of the letter post.
These packets whether the con-
tents are liable to customs duty or
not. will be marked with a simple
distinctive label Indicating the con-
tents. The establishment of the
system will be optional in each
country but the-e is every reason
to believe that it will be widely
adopted. It will be introduced In
England when the London conven-
tion comes into force next year.
At present the only methods of
sending merchandise are by the
relatively slow parcel post or by
the letter post at full rates. It is
expected therefore that the new
service will meet a real need not
only In the case of traders but of
Individuals. The rate will be fixed
at a point intermediate between
those of the letter and sampje posts
—three cents for two ounces or
with a minimum postage of 12
cents.

ARMY MEN INVENT AERIAL ROBOT
."".’' ..■.~
Lieut. A. Willett left and Col. G. Brandt examining the aerial robot
they have invented. Ft is designed to make airplanes fool proof.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13.—iff*}
—An aerial robot designed to make
airplanes fool proof has been in-
vented by Lieut. A. Willett air corps
officer assisted by Col. G. Brandt
commanding officers of Crlssy field
here.
The device its inventor says will
prevent steep nose dives tall spins
and other violent maneuvers. It
may be Disced in a plane in such a
way as to make it impossible for a
pilot to execute maneuvers which
might endanger the lives of passen-
gers. It also will aid a pilot in
keeping his plane on an even keel
in rough weather. Willet claims.
Willett will offer no explanation
of the mechanical features of the
robot as he has not yet obtained
patents. Colcnel Brandt has ob-
tained the cooperation of the air
corps engineering section in experi-
menting with the device.

Shallow Production Field
Also Rumored In North

'Special to Tha Herald)
McALLEN. Aug. 13.—Reports re-
ceived in McAllen today Indicate
much activity in well drilling for
011 tests in northern Hidalgo and
southern Brooks counties.
While rumors from the sections
Just south of the Charco-Redondo
field of shallow producing wells in
northern Starr county indicate the
possibility of another shallow pro-
duction field there it is said that
the Hidalgo and Brooks county
prospects have an equgl chance of
becoming fulfilled.
Activity in the two latter coun-
ties apparently is centered about the
Jones gas well which blew tn in
April. 1926. about five miles north
of the Hidalgo-Brooks county line.
Milam Drilling company whose
program calls for the drilling of
eight 1500-foot tests and three 3000-
foot test wells is now at work on
its fourth hole. The company’s
lease includes approximately 23000
acres and adjoins the Texas com-
pany's 18.000-acre tract. Portions of
the lease are situated in both coun-
ties. while the scene of drilling at
the present time is almost on tht
county line.
Houston Oil Company of Texaj
is now drilling deeper after havlnt
passed the 2700-foot mark accord-
ing to reports. This hole Is located
12 miles west of Falfurrias. county
seat of Brooks county and is 13
miles north of the Jones gasser.
