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?

(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

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.

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. The above des
ignation was that of Dr. Emily D.
Barringer, when she was the coun
try's first woman ambulance sur
geon in 1903. She recently retired
after twenty one years on the staff
of the Kingston Avenue hospital,
Brooklyn.
F T SE this one inspired pattern to
make your whole outdoor play
wardrobe! Think what a con
venience and saving that will be!
Pattern No. 1949-B includes a
sports shirt with convertible col
lar, a double swing skirt, and
shorts and slacks that are cut the
same way—only the slacks, of
course, go to greater length, clear
down to your instep, in fact. So
you see by making all three parts
of this generous pattern, you’ll be
smartly equipped for active sports
and looking on as a spectator
while vacationing. They are all
exceptionally well-cut and they fit
beautifully as sports things, how
ever casual-looking, simply must
be.
Denim, flannel, sharkskin, ging
ham and sailcloth are excellent,
style-right materials for this de
sign. You’ll find it easy to make,
guided by the step-by-step sew
chart.

Changing History
* Stymied Immigrants *
C. During hibernation, the dor
mouse, a small rodent resembling
a squirrel, sinks into such a deep
sleep that it must be aroused
gradually or it will die. Even
when shaken violently, it cannot
be awakened in less than 20 min
utes.

C. Ninety per cent of all history
books have been written about Eu
rope, which has never contained
more than 30 per cent of the
world’s population.
C. St. Pierre and Miquelon, is
lands off the southern coast of
Newfoundland, have an unusual
history. They were French in
1660, British in 1702, French in
1763, British in 1778, French again
in 1783, British in 1793, French
in 1802, British in 1803 and French
again in 1814, since which time
possession has not changed.
C. The U. S. immigration border
patrol, which guards more than
5,500 miles of our northern and
southern boundaries, has appre
hended, in a single year, as many
as 33,000 persons who were at
tempting to enter the country il
legally.—-Collier’s.

LI ERE is Betsy again — that
clever girl in Sewing Book 3,
who streamlined an old iron bed.
In her house there was an enor
mous kitchen and her mother
hated big kitchens. So, a parti
tion was used to divide it into two
rooms. The half with a door into
the front hall was for Betsy to en
tertain her own special friends.
The old linoleum was painted
dark green. All the walls were
painted cream and then pink
stripes were painted on the new
wall. The neat and efficient cot
cover is cream chintz with pink
roses and green leaves. The sides
of the pad, the two end cushions
and the center cushion are green,

Impossible
There had been a burglary and
a detective had been sent to in
vestigate.
“H’m," he murmured, after he
had been round the house and
asked a few questions. “Looks to
me like an inside job. The burglar
evidently knew just where to find
everything.”
The householder shook his head.
“Couldn’t be,” he replied. “No
body in this house knows where to
look for anything.”

“How does that clock go that
you won on the fairground?”
“Absolutely fine. It does an

Warning Seemed Quite
Superfluous to Car Owner
A gentleman was stranded at a
railway station, on his way home
to the country, in a heavy rain.
Seeing a car at the roadside, he
got inside for shelter, hoping to
get a lift when the driver tumedl
up. After a little wait the car be
gan to move very slowly and in
the direction he wanted to go. al
though the engine was not running.
Eventually he reached his turn
ing, so he jumped out. Then he
saw a man about to get in, but
warned him not to, as “there is
something strange about this car
—the engine isn’t running.” The
stranger replied: “Don’t I know
it; I'Ve been pushing the blamed
thing for the last two miles.”
President Was Hangman
Grover Cleveland, who later be
came President, hanged two mere
in 1872.
He was elected sheriff of Erie
county, New York, for the years
1871-1873 and during that period
Jack Gaffney and Patrick Morris
sey were sentenced to be hanged.
Rather than detail a subordinate
to perform the unpleasant task*
Sheriff Cleveland did it himself.
