...other in the realm of intra-city transportation. In Philadelphia, Mitten Management Inc. operates all buses, street cars, subways, elevateds, and many a taxi. Last week President Thomas Eugene Mitten died (see p. 54). Famed in life, he became more famed dead. His buses, street cars, subways, elevateds, taxis bore the sombre legend OUR CHIEF, T. E. MITTEN, 1864-1929. Soon after, his motormen, busmen, taxi drivers learned that most of the Mitten millions (variously estimated at from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000) were to be left in trust for "the promotion and advancement of the cause...
Prime Minister Mussolini of Italy last week chewed on a bitter-sweet contract and said a sour thanks. The contract bore the signatures of his Ambassador to the U. S. Giacomo De Martino, and Deputy Amedeo Perna, Italian dentist-politician, and the level script of George Eastman, Kodak & film tycoon.

After graduation he continued to assist in improving Malta conditions. Now he is Head of the Ministry, Minister of Police, virtually...
...seems necessary that every field of concentration in college must have its elimentary course. Music 1a serves that purpose in music and it is only thanks to Mr. Piston's careful and interesting presentation of the material that it escapes being the frightful bore that German A. French 2, and similar courses are. For anyone who is really interested in music and who is willing to do a little, extra work this course should be skipped...
Many an Italian is oftener a father than Il Duce. It only seems as though placid, soft-eyed Donna Rachele Mussolini bore a bouncing bambino every twelvemonth. Last week it was a mere girl-child? scarcely a major victory in the "Battle of the Babes"* which Dictator Mussolini keeps urging all Italian males to fight along with the "Battle of the Grain" (TIME, Oct. 24, 1927, et seq.). When cables flashed news of this latest (fifth) Mussolini offspring, to be called "Anna Maria," observers plotted a battle chart of ages, intervals...
