BENITO MUSSOLINI He Used To Keep Bombs in the Stove But He Won't Risk Sleeping With . Moonlight on His Face Mussolini boasts of the fact that as a child he was a holy ter ror in his neighborhood. Aggfes t, belllgerant, he was always in ble. He frequently came home i a black eye and bloody nosfc, and sometimes with his head cut open by a rock. Yet when he went away to a boarding school, he was so soft that he wept from home sickness. Mussolini's father was one of the fiercest international revolu tionists of his day, and he named his son Benito Juarez, aftei* one of the wildest revolutionists in Mexican history. Mussolini was expelled from boarding school; and later on he was chased out of Switzerland and France because of his radic al activities. He was thrown into jail eleven times. He has always been a great reader. Once when the police came to drag him off to jail, he said: "Please wait until I finish rattling this chapter, and then I wifl go with you." At various times in his life he Ikpert Repairing Pitches, Clocks, Jewelry Now Hare Equipment to Make Any Kind of Duplicate Kqys. W. M. Wall, Jeweler Phone 56 Elbin, v N. C.

C. has been a Socialist, a Commun ist, an Anarchist, and now a Pas cist. Naturally, ne made enemies along the way—bitter enemies. Several people tried to assassi nate him. His motto is "Live Dan gerously"; and he has. He took fencing lessons and fought many duels. He used" to work with a dagger and two pistols on his desk, and he usually had his bookcase half-full of bombs. His enemies had threatened to kill him and he was prepared. Once, when the police raided his office in the autumn, he hurriedly placed the bombs in the stove, and the next Week the office boy started to build a fire while the bombs were still there. When Mussolini joined the army in 1915 as a private, he was already editor,of a Socialist news paper and a famous man. So he was offered a safe berth behind the trenches to write a history of the regiment. "I didn't come here to write," he said with indigna tion. "I came here to fight." A short while later, his body was cut and torn by shrapnel. He was wounded in forty-two places, the surface line of all his wounds, if put together, would have measured one yard in length. Mussolini once said: "I don't want soldiers who fight from a sense of duty. I want men who fight because they love to fight." His heroes are Julius Ceasar and Napoleon, and his gray coat, which he wears as commander of the militia, is an exact copy of one worn by Napoleon. Mussolini was brought up in poverty. His father ran a black smith shop in the lower floor of the house. His mother taught a few pupils upstairs, and the fam ily was so poor that his mother appealed to the government for help. But the government didn't even bother to answer the letter. Mussolini couldn't read until he was fifteen years old. When he was sixteen, he used to sit in the cowshed reading the novels of THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Victor Hugo while the oxen chew ed their hay. At eighteen years of age, he worked as a common laborer for six cents an hour, roasted a few potatoes In the ashes of a fire and slept on a heap' of straw He was a station porter, a bricklayer, a butcher boy—but he was always getting fired. So he tramped through Switzerland begging for bread and sleeping under bridges, and the police arrested him for vagrancy. Mussolini was never interested in money. Once when he was working for a Socialist newspaper his wife urged to ask for a raise in salary. "I'm not working for money," he told her, "I'm work ing for an ideal." When the news paper i offered to raise his salary he refused it. "When he was hungry and pen niless, he would buy a glass of milk and then go to his bare room, take out his violin and drown all thoughts of hunger by playing Beethoven's Ninth Sym phony. While editing his newspaper he would often write feverishly all day long and far into the night and then sleep on top of his of fice desk. He ate the bread and salami his friends brought him, and didn't leave his office for days at a time. As a child Mussolini was deep ly influenced by an old witch who sold good-luck charms and love-potions and quack medicines. She taught him to interpret dreams and forecast the future by looking at a deck of cards. Be fore his historic march on Rome, he laid his cards out on the ta ble and studied them carefully— not; once, but many times. Here is a,quotation from Sar fatti's biography of Mussolini: "Even today Mussolini has strange things to say about the moon, the influence of its cold light upon men and affairs and the danger of letting its rays shine on your face when you are sleeping; and he is an adept in interpreting dreams and omens and in telling fortunes by cards. He can explain too why oxen allow themselves to led by women and why front paws of a hare are so short, and can throw light upon many other such mysteries." He is a fatalist. He believes he won't be killed until his time ar rives; yet he has three hundred men guarding him, and every spot in his home and office even the drain pipes are sear ched every day for bombs. He has no intimate friends. He likes to eat alone. He doesn't con fide in anybody, not even his wife. He once said; "If my own father were to come back to this world, I wouldn't place my trust even in him." He takes a lukewarm bath ev ery morning. He says cold baths are bad for his nerves. He shaves himself in the morning in order to save time. Sometimes he has a barber shave him in the even ing, but the barber is ordered not to talk. He has a room filled with pres- | ents that have been sent to him from all over the world. He calls it his "Museum of Horrors." Mussolini once said that dur ing 1934 he granted audiences to 60,000 people more than a thousand a week or 150 a day— and that he had almost two mil lion papers laid before him by his secretary—all in one year. He was deeply in love with his mother, and her death stunned him into temporary paralysis. He wears on his right hand today a little gold ring that used to be long to her. This ring was his mother's one piece of jewelry, and it was the only legacy she left him. Copyright 1937 RONDA Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Yale of North Wilkesboro, visited here Sunday evening.
