Mussolini Makes Farm Lands Out of Marshes One of the pet projects of Premier Mussolini Is the development of that section of Llttorla which was made Into farmlands after being reclaimed from the 1’ontine marshes. During a tour of the province he showed his skill In agricultural arts by sowing corn seed on some newly turned soil. Exciting Winter Sport at St. Moritz Devotees of winter sports In Switzerland get a lot out of ski-joring, which is a combination of horse racing and skiing. It is fast and exhilarating, and also it offers opportunity to those who like to place a bet now and then. World War Officers Honor Pershing Gen. John J.

Free Tombstone Button-Pushing' Days Congress will give President Itoosevelt a lump sum, a consider able lump of four thousand million dollars, to let him change from the system of doles and Imitation Jobs, “picking up leaves iyui pieces of pa per,” to real Jobs and useful work. In bis new While House olllees, Presldeut Roosevelt is at work on a “social security program," which will include unemployment insur ance and old age pensions. The Idea is to let pay rolls contribute to the cost of insurance and pensions. Tilts might work well with normnl pay rolls. You hope that the President, in his wisdom, will include in any “se curity" program security for ttie na tion, in addition to security for in dividuals, old or out of a Job. Unemployment Insurance and old age pensions would do little good If a few thousand planes came flying from Europe or Asia to bomb our cities and spray them with poison gas. If they came now, they could do exactly as they pleased. We have no way of Interfering with them. Bruno Hauptmann's muslngs on fate’s vagaries were Interrupted the other day by a strange offer from Mr. Standlsh Hartman, who owns the old Fleinington stone works, manufacturing tombstones, Just op posite the Hauptmann Jail. Hauptmann was told, “If you are sent to the electric chair I will let you pick out your own tombstone, free, and help you write the epitaph. I will make it a work of art thnt people will go a long way to see, one that any man would be proud to have.” It should take genius to devise a tombstone that “any man would be proud to have” If he got It after being executed for murder. A day is coming when no man will do auy work harder than press ing a button, and science. Incident ally, will make crime obsolete. For instance, the Joliet (111.) Jail er sent a fat “trusty" outdoors for a cigar, and the automatic "elec tric eye” at the gate saw him, flashed a light and the Innocent fat "trusty” was searched. A small metal shoehorn was found In his big loose shoe. The electric eye flushes when anybody passing the gate has any sort of metal in his possession. No prisoner's friend hereafter can take in a pistol, tile or steel saw’. If you buy alcoholic drinks, buy from dealers In whom you have conlldence. The federal government has seized one million one hundred thousand empty whisky, wine and liquor bottles to prevent bootleg gers refilling them with bootleg sup plies. An empty whisky bottle, bought for two cents, filled with eight cents’ worth of bootleg whisky, may mean profit for the bootlegger and mean poison for the consumer. To comfort those appropriating and spending large sums of public money fighting the depression It can be said, quite reasonably, that there would be no danger in spend ing $100,000,000,000 more, consider Ing that the normal Income of the United States, in really good times, is close to $100,000,000,000. If a man spent one or even two years’ income to settle all Ids troubles you’d think the price reasonable. It would be n silly mistake, of course, to Issue the $100,000,000.0(H) in bonds and pay out another $1(H), 000,000,(HH) for interest, unneces sarily. That needs to be said and will be said quite often. To read that Harry MacCrack en, seventy-five-year old retired rat tle puncher, jumped up when a ban dit told him to sit still, and “drilled” the bandit through the shoulder, Is mildly interesting. It is more In teresting to read that It happened in a “suburban liquor store” of Col orado, where MacCracken spends his time sitting by the stove, “whit tling." To sit whittling by a liquor store stove seems a strange occu pation for one seventy-five years old, who knows that time Is whit tling away his few remaining days. The AAA asks congress for com plete authority over all crops, all farm activities, and for $40,000,ooo to $00,000,000 to move farmers from poor farms to better farms. It Is all benevolently planned, but many a farmer would prefer to stamp his foot and clap his hands in the old independent way. The end of prohibition lias not yielded all that was promised, and hoped for, in reform and in cash. Two-thirds of all the whisky sold is still bootleg whisky. That cheats Uncle Sam and poisons many with bad whisky. In big New York city, many went to hospitals after a “gay” New Year’s eve. It is little consolation to know that the number of alco holism cases was somewhat smaller than during prohibition years. ©, Kin* Feature* Syndicate, Inc.

A survey of women in business and the professions showed an amazing percentage of those who had reached the advanced stage of forty, who were still not forced to retire to an old ladles’ home. Not only that, hut It develops that the the highest salaries are earned l>y the older women, even unto the tlfties ’ "To those of us who have pussed forty and find ourselves still able to get about without crutches, find our selves, as a matter of fact no differ ent than we were when approaching that fateful mark, the information will come not as a surprise, but as a reminder of how very different such tilings were no further back in His tory than when mother was a girl. We do actually seem physically dif ferent. How do you account for it?” The noted writer to whom the query was addressed, “accounting for It,” gave these varying reasons : "Are we really physically different than were women a generation or so ago? How much have we been af fected by the slight lengthening of the life span. **1 should be inclined to attnnute the change to anything hut physical reasons. As a matter of fact, wom en who lived to eighty or ninety in former generations were no 'younger’ at forty than the more shortlived of their sisters. They were simply old longer. “There may be something In the modern idea of longer childhood. Today we send our daughters to school longer. We send them to work later. They marry later. That would be conducive to their staying •young’ longer. “But, with little thought, it is evi dent that the change must be prac tically all a thing of the mind. !t is woman’s activity today that keeps her young. Age is atrophy—a dry ing up. One who continues to be stimulated with interest and activity keeps mind and body in the condi tion that is youth. In former gen erations it was the assumption that when a woman married and had her children, it was time to sit and look back. Today all that is changed. Many women are really free—as free ns they want to be. Many married women begin the most stimulating activities of their lives after they have brought up their children. The changing world has changed women mentality, and they have changed physically to the extent of warding off what is really old age—In some cases avoiding it altogether. “In the ease of women in business and the professions, the result of this crashing of barriers is simply to do away with distinctions which were never more than psychological. As men gain in experience they are worth more in dollars and cents; even in this ‘young man’s age’ I think It will be found that incomes are likely to be higher with men over forty titan under, and they have no ‘age deadline.’ So why shouldn’t this be true of women, too?” ©.

In the shell holes in Jugoslavia, members of an expedition sent out by Harvard uni versity have found treasures which go back to tlie Bronze ago. Nearly two thousand sites have been marked out as a result of the studies of tills expedition. In them, future digging will take place. Incidentally, by making a 3,500-mile survey of the territory, the scientists have uncov ered Homan roads and fortifications which before were thought only to exist in local legends.—I’earson's Weekly. Pleasant Thought* All men are glad to have pleasant memories, but not all are providing the material for such memories. If you would look hack by and by to something that you will be glad you said or did, now Is the time to do or say something which will give you food for gladness.—Henry Clay Trumbull.

And the Unthinking Folly Is Joy to him that Is desti tute of wisdom. A Doctor Knows! And doctors use a liquid laxative There’s a very good reason why doctors and hospitals have always used liquid laxatives! You’d use a liquid, too, if you knew how much better it makes you feel. A liquid laxative can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of real and safe relief from constipation. Just ask your own doctor about this. Ask your druggist how popular liquid laxatives have become. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. People who have experienced this comfort, never return to any form of help that can’t be regulated! The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It con tains senna and cascara, and these are natural laxatives that form no habit —even in children. Its action is gentle, but sure. It will relieve a condition of biliousness or sluggish ness without upset. It’s the ideal family laxative because it’s a family doctor’s prescription, and perfectly safe and effective for family use. If you are seeking something that will relieve your occasional upsets safely and comfortably, try Syrup Pepsin. Give regulated doses until Nature restores regularity.
