The Italian soldier Badoglio ir
the striking uniform of an Italiar
marshal, returned to Rome and embraced
Mussolini, who wore the an;
form of a corporal of fascist militia
Napoleon also liked to be called the
little corporal."
Marshal Badoglio is an Italian soi5ier
who obeys orders. When Mus ^olirn's
forces were marching on
r'.'MiJC, Badoglio, according to the
story, said to the king: "What shall
I do- wipe them out?" The king orieredi:
"No; no violence." Now, Muss
:ini rules, and on his orders Badogwipes
out Halle Selassie and the
government of Ethiopia.
Anything could happen in Europe,
and one of the things considered
iUite possible, extremely disturbing
respectable old England and olhr.s.
is an agreement between Mussoiini
and Hiticr to make "a deal on
Austria" profitable for both; not
or Austria.
There is always, however, ihe me*
uorv ol 1914. when Austria, Italy
?nd the Kaiser had the triple alliance
that did not "stand up." Such
dliancea usually go along racial
linte, if they are all lost. France and
Italy are natural allies, both Latin;
England and the United Slates would
probably be found not far apart if
a really big World War should ever
come, with one or two other IFS.
gphcc proudiy demonstrates for
the Wealinghouse company a new
lamp that "rivals the beams of the
sun." The demonstrator explained
that the temperature at the sun's
surface is about 31,732 degrees Fahrenheit,
while the new lamp reaches
25,232 degrees Fahrenheit. That,
however, as scientists know, is a
long way from the sun's best temperature.
According to Sir James Jean?
there prevails in the depths of the
sun temperature of "forty million
degrees centigrade," which is considerably
higher than any man-made
temperature.
If />oma .urifhln 1 AAA ntllnc r\f
a 5 cent piece with a temperature
of 40,000,000 degrees centigTade, you
would be burned to a cinder; hard
to believe, but true.
Are animals capable of any
thought ?
A dog on Prince Edward island,
whining and howling with its muzzle
against a pile of clothing on the
edge of a pool, attracted men who
took from the water the bodies of
two brothers, fifteen and seventeen
years old. Could the dog have
"thought out." a connection betw'cen
the clothing and the disappearance
of Its young owners ?
At Ur, ancient city of the Chaldeans,
they allow a gigantic brick
temple, recently uncovered, where
it has lain In the ground covered
through the ages. It was constructed
originally, like the tower of Babel,
to enable the builders to get up into
heaven and reach the gods. First
they invented those pagan gods, and
then they actually believed in them.
"The United States navy has ordered
101 "bomber" airplanes; cheerful
small news.
ilt is to be hoped that the government
is trying to build bomber planes
able to fly any ocean.
If war came, our bombing operations
could bo carried on in count
tries across the Atlantic or the Pacific.
We should not want to do any
bombing in America. After the first
experiment, no country would send
ftny ohioS within easy bombing or
submarine range of these shores.
Announces Dental Clinic

In the examinations of school children
the dental defects were more
numerous than any other trouble,
and the opportunity for the correction
of much of this trouble is now

Infected, or abscessed teeth are
constantly poisoning the system and
if not correctable should be removed

Week-end; Little Disturbance
Accompanies.

Policeman Litten that considering
the large number of people in Boone
on the Fourth, that disturbance was
at a low minimum. The arrest of 20
persons was caused by public drunkenness,
but Mr. Litten 3tates that
there was practically no accompanying
disorders.
The town was filled with visitors
| throughout the day, brought here for
| the Legion picnic, for the primary,
i and because it was a general holiday.
