New Italian Baby By Permission of Unions Some Things We Do Well Throwing Out Kings Italy expects a new heir to the throne in January. If it is a boy, and

lives, and nothing happens to Drevent, it will succeed in time its grandfather, the present King. What rate Lloyds would charge to guarantee the succession is uncertain. Mussolini’s rise from extreme socialism, the trenches and the hospital maintained the House of Savoy in nom-

innl power. “After Mussolini what?” 1* one of many European Mr. Hull, Secretary of State, sailed for South America six hours late, to help bring peace to the world, or at least help set a good example on these two continents. He left a pier “double-picketed”; the strike tied up his ship, which had to bring six non-striking seamen out to the secretary's boat, waiting patiently near Che Shhut of Liberty. After peace is brought to the world, the next step will be to bring peace to United States industry. You may read some day: “The House, Senate and Supreme Court could not meet; the President has moved over to the New Willard; the Amalgamated Order of Furnace Tenders let all the fires go out, while, in sympathy, the Electric union turned off all lights and the elevator men said sympathetically, ‘No eleve’ors.’ ” There must be, tor public necessities, including shipping that carries passengers and mails, some better plan than the strike plan, and one that would be just to work- * ers. This country makes some things better than any other country—automobiles, and moving pictures, for instance—and Englishmen know it. The late Irving Thalberg, vice president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, left 35,000 shares of Loew moving picture stock. As soon as the large block wtls offered for sale, Englishmen bought it all, by trans-At-lantic telephone, for about $2,200,000. Nicholas Schenck, head of Loew's and its biggest stockholder, missed an opportunity, and knows it. Everybody across the ocean knows that this country is one NOT to be sold short, regardless of passing troubles. It is said the royal tombs reserved for Spanish kings have been violated, some or all of the bodies thrown out. It would be a pity ttr offer insult to what remains of the truly great King, afraid of mice and spiders, but not of any man— Charles the Fifth—if he also was entombed in the Escurial Pantheon. Os the others, many would be more useful as fertilizer on some Spanish field than they ever were on the Spanish throne, and it is not necessary to weep over them. London, with the biggest floating fleet on earth, is striving to “humanize submarine warfare.” That h like trying to humanize rat poison. Look at Spain and you see what will happen in the next war; everybody will kill as many as he can, as brutally as possible; you remember the Lusitania? The biggest crowd seen in Washington greeted the President on his triumphant return to Washington, the White House and his job. For eleven days he will see only executive assistants and rewind the big machine. Those willing to serve their country for a consideration, or tell the President, free of charge, how it could be run better, must wait, probably until his return from the trip to South America. Voltaire’s learned Dr. Pangloss was wrong; it is not true that “all is for the best in the "best possible of worlds." In spite of all our wealth and prosperity, more mothers die in childbirth, in this country, than in any other “civilized” country in the world. You know that better conditions are needed in America when you see photographs of the wretched two-room log cabin in the swamp bottomlands where Mrs. James Bridges gave birth to quadruplets. According to Science Service, if whisky is subjected for seven hours to “intense sound vibrations,” which means “a loud noise,” the seven noisy hours will age the whisky as much as “four years in the wood.” Think what noise can do to the delicate nervous system of the human being if to seven hours it can add four years to the age of raw whisky. Mussolini’s order forbidding automobile drivers to blow their horns in Rome, "Use your eyes and your intelligence instead of your horns,” should be copied widely.
