...corners. Premier Benito Mussolini is known as "The Big Dog." In Rome last week two Italians who had tried unsuccessfully to blow "The Big Dog" into small bits met the special death that Italy reserves for spies and traitors-shooting in the back. Last summer 13 bombs exploded in Genoa, Bologna and Turin, killing three idlers and a policeman. One Genoese bombing almost coincided with the arrival of King Vittorio Emanuele. In September another bomb went off in a Genoese apartment, killing the mother of one Domenico Bovone. Police immediately arrested Bombmaker Bovone and eight co-plotters, including a Viennese...

...abed in a clutter of flowers, telegrams and Sunday papers. A great deal had happened to her in three years. She had studied diligently in Italy, learned to speak pure Italian instead of the dialect on which she had been raised. She had sung at the Scala and in Genoa. With lips vermilion-red and finger nails to match, she returned to the U. S. this autumn to find herself good copy because she was a New Jersey laborer's daughter and at 19 had a five-year contract with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Her father had died...
