TRAINS IN ITALY ARE
ALWAYS ON TIME NOW
Home*. July 13.?The spirit of dis
cipline which the Mussolini govern
inc.it brought In with it is no more
concretely illustrated than on the
railroa.ds_and in the telegraph ser
vice of Italy. Italian trains are now
run on time?one can even set ones
watch by tliopi?and the time of
transnilsf ion on Internal and foreign
telegrams has been reduced to one
fourth of what it was before the ad
vent of Italy's young dictator to
power.
The Italian crack trains on the
main trunk lines cover their distanc
es with minute precision and accord
ins to schedule. The Rome-Milan
ex Treaties leave and arrive on the sec
ond. The Rome-Naples traius are
equally on schedule, while the ser
vice between Genoa and Trieste,
thiougli Milan and Venice, also re
coil* the same punctuality.
S;>?'cial policemen do service on all
the lines, and are present on trains
to prevent theft or disorder.
Vegetarians Look
for Milder Climate
Jteliuloiis Sect Finds That Cold Wea
ther Is Not Suited to Its
Creed
Winnipeg. Man.. July 13.?Vege
tarianism and the. rigors of Saskat
chewan winters are not compatible,
at least in the experience of the
Dcukhobors. a religious sect which
Is planning to migrate to a clime
whn-e winter months can better be
-withstood without the aid of animal
fats.
Peter Verlgin. whoso official po
sition with the Doukhobors is pres
ident of the Christian Community of
Unlvewurt-?Brotherhood, Limited, of
Verlgin, Saskatchewan, is authority
.*or the statement that the vegetar
ians have 'found the Saskarhewan.
province winters too rigorous
to be withstood on their diet.
Verigin and K. Caskoff, manager of
the Doukhobor community, have
gone east In search of a suitable
tract, probably in the fruit lands of
the province of Ontario, on which to
locate their followers.
The leaders believe that the next
settlement of the Doukhobors. after
they have, disposed of their Saskat
chewan property, will be In the vicin
ity of the Niagara peninsula, where
a jam making industry probably will
be established, such as haff'been sue
ceMfully operated by Doukhobors r.t
Brilliant. B. C.
Verlgin pointed out that persons
who eat meat, perhaps use stimu
lant*. and find solace in smoking,
had found Saskatchewan's climate
suitable, but that vegetarlansm was
one of the Important features of the
Doukhobor creed, and not to be al
tered because of climatic conditions.
The migration will affect 1.500 per
sons.

In April, during the cold snap, the

of the buds. Jji May the intens?

jsackfulls of flowers to the greatest
I rose oil establishment in Bulgaria, !n
.the little village of Rahmanlare, in
'the valley of the Strema.
The manufacturer prefers the red
'or damask roses to the white or
: musk, because it posseses about dou
ble the strength of the white. The
i roses are^ heaped up in separate pile*
in concrete lined storerooms to pre
vent the exhalation of the blooms.
I From the storerooms, in which the
flowers must not remain more than
a couple of days because they have
a t.-ndency to turn "sour" the row

HOW MOT IH 1JOHTNING?
Berlin, July 13.?The question of
the degree of heat generated by
lightning has been agitated recently
In German scientific circles because
of the effect, observed after electri
cal storms, of lightning on the tips
of lightning rods.
It was found that a platinum tip
melted on being struck. Since the :
melting-pot of platinum Is variously
fixed at 1.700 to 1.800 degrees cen
trlgrsde. It was clear that the light- i
nlng's heat exceeded that tempera- 1
ture lister an Instance develope I

by a stroke. The melting-point of
this inetul Is said to.be 2,00 degrees

TYPHOID SEASON
NOW BEGINNING
With (!a?m Reported from a
Number of Counties State
1 Hoard of Health Urging Ev
ery Precaution.
Raleigh, Jyly 13.?Six oases of ty
phoid fever among the members of
on.- family in 1'nlon County and five
cases among the children of n Clove
land County family reported to the
State Hoard of Health called forth
today a warning frmo the Hoard that
th?- typhoid season In Just beginning,
and that every precaution aualnst
.this preventable disease should be
tak#-n during July,, August and Sep
tember when illness from thifl cau?e
reaches its peak. ?
In both Instances of family epi
demics the disease ban attacked chil
dren. The I'nlon County family In
on" of negroes with the youngent of
the sick children a baby of three
'years. and the eldest a boy of 16.
.The Cleveland County family is a
white one with the youngest victim
six years of age and the eldest 17
, years.
Kxperlence of the health officials,
it was stated, has demonstrated that
annually the typhoid rate, both case
and death, rises with the warm
weather and the Increases of house,
flies, considered the greatest factor |
in the trannmisHion of the germs of
typhoid and other intestinal diseases.
Each year for the past 10 years the
typhoid rate has b?'on consistently
lowered In North Carolina, it was
stated, until last year the total num
ber of deaths for the flrst time since
accurate statistic* have been kept ?
dropped under 300. being 2'?R.
That flijs total may be decreased ;
this year the MA*!*- hoard of Health '
Is advising three things: Inoculation
against typhoid by taking three doses
of anti-typhoid vaccine at Intervals off
one week; the cleanlnu-up of breed
ing places of flies and the destruc- J
tion of these dangerous, deadly In
serts by traps, poison, and swatting,
and the screenlnK of houses to keep
them out; sanitary disposal of wastes
from the body.
While the reports of 11 cases of
typhoid In two families Is unusual.
It was said, figures for the whole
State as gathered through the 100
local quarantine officers and report
ed to the State Hoard of Health In
dicate a better condition than at
this time last year. A total of 404
cases have been reported to date
as avalnst 495 cases for the flrst six
months of 1922. The deaths report
ed for the flrst Ave months of 1922
were 39 as against 32 for the same
period this year.
