IAN ENERGY * GOES INTO WORK INSTEAD OF WAR

t's Difficult to to Give Up Politics ag Duce Ordered; Tourist Trade Hit.

(Fourth of a Series)

By ELEANOR PACKARD ‘United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, March 18—In a little cafe where Ttalians gather in late afternoon on the Via Veneto for a sip of wine there is a sign: plastered on the wall that says: “Here we do not discuss politics or high strategy.” That is the, keynote of Ttaly's non-belligerent status in Europe’s wars and it will continue to be’ the theme of the Fascist nation until Premier Benito Mussolini says otherwise. The sign in the cafe is a familiar one now to Italians. They see

- similar signs in all public places,

in clubs, in offices and in shops and often there is another phrase on “Here we work.”

Living Costs Soar

That, too, is a keynote for Italians as the best of Europe's big powers are locked in war. Italy is working furiously. Talking politics is a popular pastime in Italy and it has not been easy to give it up, but with the words of Sig. Mussolini that “Fascist peace is armed peace” still fresh in memory, tha well-fed and not too pessimistic Italians have carried on as cheerfully and normally as possible. Sometimes it is difficuit. In six months, living costs have soared 30 per cent, foreign coal has been outlawed for heating purposes and coffee, sugar and gasoline have been rationed. The nation is experiencing a tgade boom unprecedented in recent years, despite inroads on its commerce by the economic warfare of the belligerents. Italy’s material losses from torpedoes and mines have been comparatively negligible so far.

Wages Ordered Increased

The nation has adhered to the policy that Italy would “take no military initiative,” laid down to the Council of Ministers by Sig. Mussolini Sept. 1, the day Germany invaded Poland. Soaring prices have caused Sig. Mussolini to convene the central corporation council to discuss the

. relation of living costs to wages.

Wages have been ordered increased 10 to 15 per cent to meet increased living costs. Since the war broke out, Italian industry and production have been speeded up through the double incentive of Il Duce’s self-sufficiency program and the insatiable demand of the belligerents for manufactured goods. Another shot in the arm came from extraordinary appropriations for military expenditures. The war’s effect on Italian defense has been to speed up production in all branches of the armed forces, especially the Navy. Since Sept. 1, five large ocean-going submarines have been launcheg.

Tourist Trade Suffers

Since the beginning of the war the amusement of the people has been affected only slightly. For those who are too poor for night life there has been no change, as low priced amusements functioned as usual. The tourist trade in Italy has suffered heavily as a result of the war. Two of the biggest spenders used to be Americans and British, with the French a poor third. The action of the State Department in calling in all American passports has prevented Americans om coming to Italy unless they ave good business reasons. The British and French have mostly gone home to do their bit towards winning the war. :

300,000 Bites Bring Lotion To Thwart Hungry Mosquito

According to all that is said at the Indiana Sportsmen’s Show, now open at the State Fair Grounds, the common mosquito has been thrown

for a loss. This information comes from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J., via the show, and has to do with experiments made last year by professors there.. The professors started with the fixed notion that it is silly to be bitten by a mosquito if there is hing known to man or science that will prevent the mosquito from biting you. Their first, and most logical, step was to gather most of the materials that were supposed to be anathema to mosquitoes together and try them on individual mosquitoes.

They found a combination of materials that was satisfactory. In fact, it kept the mosquito from biting because it kept him out of biting range. Then a new series of tests were performed. Coeds and athletes wore patches saturated with the solution to see if it irritated the skin’or caused any other undesirable byproduct effect. It didn't. And so it now is on the market, to protect human beings from mosquitoes. But during the experiments, one professor estimated he was bitten 300,000 times as he watched them bite and then counted them. All sorts of hardships were involved. All sorts of ingenuity was used.
