Another monument to Il Duce on which Italians had their eyes last week was the so-called Lira Monument in the little town of Pesaro. There, eight years ago, when statesmen of the world were unanimously convinced that the gold standard is the only honest monetary standard and must be defended as such, Benito Mussolini uttered the words now cut deep into the marble slab of Pesaro's monument: I SAY TO THE WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD THAT WE WILL DEFEND THE LIRA TO THE LAST BREATH, TO THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD...

Encausticist Stuberg comes by her talent naturally. For three generations her family has modeled the hairless heads of statesmen, patriots, murderers and heroes in clay, cast them in wax, fitted them with wigs, glass eyes and mustaches, painstakingly tinted them to the life. Reporters visiting Miss Stuberg's studio found the young encausticist still at work on the nose of Albert Einstein. In a special post of honor...
