' Household Neius U /Bacmjr' L / / A ‘SAFE AND SANE’ PARTY (See Recipes Below) Why not plan a party for the Fourth of July, to keep the young sters in the family happy and out of mischief? It might be a party on the porch or in the yard—or a picnic In the country, if you prefer it. Make it a family affair, or invite a youth ful guest or two to keep your own children company. Whatever type of party you plan, make it a festive affair—with gay table decorations (if refreshments are being served at home), very special "Party foods” and patri otic party favors, too. Gaily colored paper table cloths and napkins are a must, ana tney ao save worn: And be sure to provide balloons and snap crackers, or noisemakers of another kind. Plan definite entertainment, with an active game or two to permit the children to use up excess energy, and a "pencil and paper" or guess ing game to play when a little rest is in order. Pencil and paper games such as these two might be used— and you’ll find that adults as well as young people enjoy them. Jumbled Names. Prepare for each player a typed or mimeographed copy of the fol lowing list of scrambled letters each of which, when unscrambled, spells the name of a famous American. To get an idea of what the game is like, why not try your own luck with the list before looking at the answers?

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—Gen. Emilio de Bono, taking command of Italy’s southern armies with her en try into the war, is said to have had De Bono First to ^ Strong Nail 'Empire' on est seizure Fascist Mast-Head * Those In those parts. Now 75 years old, a tiny man, scarcely taller than Italy’s little king, he has been built up as a rough and-tumble wildcat fighter, a legend which he sustains by ferocious activ ity. They benched him in the mid dle of the Ethiopian conquest be cause. he complained, the Ethio pians wouldn't step out and fight They sent in Gen. Pietro Badoglio and he finished them with poison gas. Early in 1935, General De Bono recorded his heart’s desire in Mussolini’s political review, Gerarchla, as follows: “One proclaims, even shouts, often and perhaps too much, a beau tiful word that I have personally promised myself not to pro nounce or write any more un less It is on the day where one can by direct action give a real reason to the why of this great word. Oh, well, although old, I will live to see that day.” The word so hallowed he dared not write it was—“Empire.” The pint-size general was one of the original quadrumvirate of Fas cism and is said to have been the first to nail the empire slogan on the Fascist masthead. This writer remembers having seen him once— an extraordinarily active, bright eyed, talkative little man, with a neat white beard—a few hours after a mob of young blackshirts had Wrecked the house of former Pre mier Nitti, in Florence, and slit to shreds his classical library of books which ranged back to the Fifteenth century. In 1926 General De Bono was charged with knowledge of the political kidnaping and murder of the Deputy Matteoti. There was latent opposition to Fascism then, and II Duce hastily sent his little wildcat general to Af rica. The Incident was forgot ten and the general went to work getting Africa ready for empire day. He was the Fas cist chief of police in the early days of the regime and built np the Italian Cheka. He entered the Milan Military academy at the age of 12, and has put in his entire career in the army. THOMAS NAST, the hornet who stung Boss Tweed, is perhaps the best precedent for David Low. Similarly, the British cartoonist has n . ■ . r been sting Cartoomat Low ingBritain’s Early Touched “Apologia Up Fifth Column sev eral years. A brief cable today re ports the telling effect of his car toons in stirring a new surge of anger against the trimmers and side-steppers of the immediate pre war years. Correspondents score this on the side of new unity and fighting spirit. The quiet, bearded Briton with a big black hat touched up the fifth column long before the Norway debacle. Visiting the United States in October, 1936, he said: “We’re becoming a world of stool pigeons. There are too many white rats loose everywhere. I’m pessimistic. We’d better get ready to save what we have. That goes for the U. S. A., too. People who believe in civilization don't know what’s happening to it. They’d better find out. I'm trying to tell them.” During the last two years, his ten-strike cartoons have been car ried on the cables and widely re produced in this country, the first to be thus distinguished. They have found publication in many other countries—signed "Low,” as the David has long since been dropped. He says people have to learn to laugh to win a war, and adds, “We laugh too much from our back teeth and too little from our stomachs.” He is of Shakespearian aspect and says that his neat little beard is in deference to the bard and not Mos cow. He was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1891 and began his ca reer as a cartoonist with the Syd ney (Australia) Bulletin. i I 'HE Beautiful Girl of the Bow ery Run*' heads the move of the American Medical Women’s as sociation to get military rating for women physicians In government service, and to prepare women doc tors and dentists for effective war work—if necessary.
