At the time of the decisive March on Rome in 1922 he was only 26 but already a Fascist Militia General, one of the historic Quadrumvirs who entered Rome in the actual March, directed by Editor Mussolini by telegraph from the office of Popolo d'ltalia which is still the Dictator's family newspaper.

Last January the even tenor of Heloise's resumed undergraduate career was suddenly interrupted when a free-lance photographer named John Naegle, then in Iowa City, received an assignment from Editor Robert Pines of College Humor for a set of pictures on the daily life of a coed. Told to avoid well-photographed University of Iowa, Photographer Naegle journeyed to Drake, interviewed the University's business manager, Ed Lytton. Business Manager Lytton recommended Heloise.

Sure enough, in its final edition, the Examiner appeared with a similar picture, not credited to any photographer or paper, but simply billed as a view of the victim "taken before he was operated upon." The Examiner's, picture of Fitts was exactly like the Times's in every detail, even to the telltale vanished cigaret. A check on the fact that Fitts actually was holding a cigaret as he went to the operating room came...

Publisher Fanchon Devoe (actual name: Mrs. Robert Lee Criswell) was graduated in 1921 from Ohio State University as Bess Willis. Successively a newspaper editor, an adwoman, a radio scriptwriter and author, she is now married to a well-to-do Circleville lawyer. Inspired to create Bachelor and having heard from afar of Manhattan's elegant Bachelor Lucius Beebe, she sought him out on his home grounds for advice. Bachelor Beebe, who does a weekly column on metropolitan high life and works on the dramatic side...
