...Socialist. Deputy Tito Zaniboni (TIME, Nov. 16, 1925 et seq.) who was arrested at his hotel bedroom window calmly puffing a cigaret and training a high-power rifle upon the balcony of Signor Mussolini's office, from which II Duce was shortly to deliver his Armistice Day: address. A special military tribunal sat upon the case last week in the grim Roman Palazzo di Giustizia; but the prisoner faced only the normal Italian criminal law. Recent legislation providing the death penalty for attempts on the Premier's life is not retroactive (TIME, Nov. 15, 22), and would-be-assassin Tito...
...simple code of numbers and letters and composed like any other text on a linotype. Telegravure is far simpler than telephotography. Telephotography requires costly apparatus to transform pictures into electric impulses, then back to pictures. The transmitted photograph must be engraved. The Ford process starts with a special photographic plate which "screens" the original picture with a mesh of fine crossed lines.

But last week, Chairman John F. O'Rourke of a special committee of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation begged to differ. He announced that the committee had given "serious study and conference to this question." "We believe," he added, "that a great menace to public welfare is involved. The tests so far made for ventilation have been inadequate. . . . The present exhaust openings . . . are totally inadequate . . . we suggest...
...world really is. It is not, as he seems to think, an ex-officio position in the Boy Scout movement. . . . It is, in fact, nothing but a title to designate the incumbent Heavy Socker; it calls for nothing whatever; being won and not conferred, it entails no special responsibility...
