4 MUSSOLINI SPEAKS T0U.S.OVER RADID Record Made in Rome Broad- cast From Chicago—Opera Stars on Program. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 15.—The Fas- cist arm of Benito Mussolini reached into Chicago last night to break, tem- porarily, some 30 contracts which for- bid Tito Schipa’s singing over the radio. Schipa, Italian tenor of the Chicago Civic Opera Co., was sought by sta- tion WGN of the Chicago Tribune to take part in a program featured by the broadcasting of a message by Mussolini himself. The Schipa con- tracts, however, contain _clauses against his appearing before a micro- phone. Word of the difficulty reached Mus- solini, a close friend of the singer. The Italian government then pre- vailed upon the American directors to lift the radio ban for this single occasion. Other Stars on Program. Besides Signor Schipa, Premier Mussolini had an all-star supporting cast for his radlo debut in America. Three other stars of the Chicago Opera Co. took part in the program— Rosa Raisa, Glocomo Rimini and Vir- gillo Lazzari. Fascist melodies also were played by an orchestra. "It was the first time Mussolini’s voice ever had been heard in America. His message was electrically recorded in a chamber of the Italian state de- partment at Rome. The recording was accomplished, the Tribune said, transporting from Milan to Rome the only electrical reproducing appa- retus in the kingdom. Mussolini appeared before the re- cording microphone in riding habit. He stood close to the instrument and spoke in a conversational tone. When he had finished, he consented to re- peat his talk, to guard against the chance of the original records being broken. The disks then were taken to Bngland, where permanent records were made. A special messenger then brought the records here. Message in Italian. The message radiocast last night was in Italian, but an English trans- lation also was given. It expressed the opipion that America and Italy have bullt an “indissoluble relation of cordiality, friendship and collabora- tion which will cause them to travel & long road together.” The premier described Fascism as “a movement of a people which exalts all national virtues, a strong govern- ment which has reorganized the na- tion, muitiplying its productivity and energy, a political system which has built a truly new and modern state, a concrete and stable politico-social edifice in which all legitimate inter- ests are balanced and harmonized.” THOUSANDS OF CARIBOU SWIM ACROSS YUKON Unusual Sight Is Witnessed by Passengers Aboard Alas- kan Steamer. TANANA, Alaska, November 20 (Correspondence). — The marvelous spectacle of thousands of caribou, or Arctic deer, swimming across the Yukon and Tanana Rivers and mov- ing over the hills along both sides of the streams as far as the eye could see, was witnessed by passengers on the steamer Levering. The caribou herds also were encountered in the vicinity of the International boundary Une near Eagle and Forty Mile Post. Capt. Miller of the ship estimated that at one time between 3,000 and 8,000 caribou were seen from the deck—these in addition to the un- counted thousands which had gone over the miuntains or were on their way toward the river crossings. The vessel had great difficulty in navigating among the swimming ani- mala. through which the ship fairly plowed its way for three hours. The crew lassoec a dozen or more of them and hauled the animals on board for fresh meas supplies. ‘The caribou congregated along the river bars and swarmed into the chilly stream as if eager to get over. The deer are hurrying south and west toward the foothills of Mount Me- Kinley, where in the forested slopes an abundance of moss grows, on which they feed until late March, when the Spring trek toward the barrens starts. Many domesticated reindeer from herds of Eskimo and ‘white settlers were noted in the herds. The caribou bulls have a knack of winning and luring away many cows from the rein- deer droves. The two animals are distinctly alike except that caribou weigh when over against the pounds. reindeer’'s 200 S — Certain Indian tribes in Brazil eat the red bones of their ancestor: A Laxative That’s Doing A Great Work Users of Feen. realize tgcv have discovered & new efficiency in this pop- ular remedy for constipation.

But when I marked the smile he wore and saw how much he tried to please I vowed, “Hereafter in this store I'll buy my kraut and boneless cheese.

POOR YEARS ENDANGER OLD SUGAR PLANTATIONS Low Prices and Crop Failures Indi- cate Big Deficits in Louisiana. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., December 15. —Imminent danger to some old south Louisiana sugar plantations is seen in the repeated failure of the planters in late years to produce a profitable crop of cane. This year it appears that many of the formerly prosperous plantations will suffer heavy losses through a com- bination ‘of crop failures, low sugar prices, high maintenance costs and unpaid debts from previous poor years. Many old Southern homes wherein have lived leading families of the South thereby face selling out to satisfy unpaid mortgages. The south Louisiana sugar belt has lost all semblance of its former pros- perity, as far as the planters are concerned. For the last five years hard luck has been the lot of the grower, and this, season indicates a poor crop. Many of the cane flelds today resemble a mere stretch of su‘xbble, the plants no more than 8 or 4 feet OBEY "TOXAEMIA’S - DANGER SIGNAL! gt oo, Lot b ite, nervous headac) leepless nights, body " Dains—any ONE ‘such aymptom It cleanses and sterilizes the entire ays- tem—drives away life-deatroving poisons bringe back smbition with & rushe and the vigorous health and vitality loday to_tske buy—at 300—dou- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1926. PUBLIC DANCES AGAIN PROMISED AT OXFORD University Ban Lifted, Is Latest Report, With Undergraduate Ball in View. By the Associated Press. OXFORD, December 16.—The hardy perennial report that Oxford, where public dances have always been forbid- den, is at last to have an undergradu- ate dance, has broken forth anew. It is said a_university dance club soon is to be formed, at which mem- bers of the men’s and women’s col- leges of Oxford may meet and dance without fear of arrest by the uni- versity proctors, as has been the case in the past at public dance halls. The club plan was originated by some of the younger dons at Christ Church, it is asserted, and has re- ceived the appro¥al of the university authorities and the heads of the vari- ous men's colleges. It is now await- ng the indorsement of the heads of the women's colleges. If the plan goes into effect from four to six dances would be held each term, with strict regulations for university chaperons. The club will have a limited mem- bership. . Maj.
