ROME, Sept. 23, — Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, voted a govern

ly for winning Ethiopia, spends
bis days leading the simple life.
At Giuggi, the famous water
ing place, the marshal pushed h's
felt hat back on his head and said
r genially:
“Good Lord, man, I’ve come
here for a rest!”
He had just come from auto

The doughty general, with his
wife, daughter and son, comes to
the fountain—it’s like a public
square, with dozens of tables,
shops flanking it, and an orches

talks to his friends.
There’s nothing assuming about
him. “Sure!” he said the local
photographer set up his contrap

other stepped up beside him and
was photographed. He probab

But he did not seem upset at the

Japanese Marines
Sailed On Way
To China
(By The Associated Press')
TOKYO, Sept. 22. — Detach
ments of Japanese marines sailed
today for China to protect Jap
anese residents and their inter
ests against demonstrations by
hostile Chinese.
Authorities called the move
ment “moderate reinforcement”
—looking ahead in the event
that the Japanese navy must “re
sort to self defense measures.”
thought that Italy's greatest liv
ing war hero was being used by
the local photographer instead of
the old-time backdrop showing
the airplane or Niagara Falls, or
Broadway.
Meets Old Friends
In the big hotel overlooking the
town he eats with his family and
friends in the big dining room. Af
ter luncheon he drives to the
new fountain, with its half-a-doz
en bowling grounds, to play boc
cie. At one laid out especially for
him, three old cronies, average
60 years, are waiting. He takes
off his coat revealing a light
blue sleeveless shirt with open
collar.
Boccie is the favorite game of
the Italian peasant. It has to be
seen to be believed. It is like
bowling on the green—but the
green is a stretch of hard sand
20 yards long, sunk a foot in the
ground.
The plvaver who begins the
game throws out a little ball to
ward the other end of the field.
Then the others roll two balls,
; each (solid wood a third the
, size of an American bowling ball
,o see who can end up nearest it.
Nobody speaks. The players only
i grant. The spectators u<jii t cv
en whisper.
The marshal plays until the
sun goes down, then drinks more
of the water and returns to tlie
hotel for dinner. After dinner
he sits around in the lounge room
for a while talking to friends, and
then retires.

Teacher Now At
Wainwrisrht Is A
C
Good Story Man
Excerpts from a letter from
Ernest P. Stowell, a teacher at
Wainwright, a small native vill
age near Point Barrow, far off
from the beaten track, to his sis
ter Mrs. Roy Franklin, of West
Mountain View, Washington, tells
of life on the extreme northern
frontier of Alaska. He writes as
follows:
“There are about 17,000 rein
deer at this station. The corral
is build of ice. The walls are sev
en feet high and a foot thick.
Great slabs seven feet long and
three feet wide are stood on end,
touching each other.
“Our ice house is carved right
out of a glacier. This whole pen
insula is on a great glacier and
you have only to dig down two
feet and the ice commences.
"Of course, its great value is
On its refrigerating qualities, keep
ing reindeer, seals, whales, wal
! ruses, birds, ducks, ptarmigans,
geese and brant and such fruits
and vegetables as you want to
keep f r an indefinite pe: md. The
principle that was here before
us kept his dead wife in this gla
jcier until the cutter came in the
late summer. This village is on
tne edge of the Arctic ocean and
the glacier sticks right out on to
the beach in several places.
Three Big Coal Seams
“There are three big coal min
es six, thirteen and eighteen mil
es from the village. Any native
;can have coal for getting it, so
these people ail have coal piles'
at home. One of the mines ex
pends away out under the wat
er in the lagoon, and when the
sea is rough it piles the coal up
on the beaches.
“There are six radios in this
place and we have a great range
of stations to listen in on. In the
forenoon we get Europe and Asia.
We listen to the happenings of
the U. S. from London, while eat
ing lunch at noon. Of course we
melt ice for water, but we have
an abundance of hot water at all
times. We have an idea that a
barrel-full of hot water will
keep a house warm when temp
eratures go down to 40 degrees
below zero.
“Our gasoline washing machines
take the drudgery out of wash
ing. We have the only rubber
bathtub in the village and it is
certainly nice to take your bath
in any spot you wish.
“We have six fine reindeer
stored away for our meat. They
are so cheap that we laid in an
extra supply. They will keep in
definitely in our glacier ice house.
We paid $5 in barter for each
me delivered. Goods are so terr
bly high up here that our meat
□ill does not amount to much.
Children Wear Fur Clothing
“Virginia and Junior, our child
•en, have parkas, mukluks, and
ikin pants for outdoor wear,
rhey play outside with sleds and
logs a bit. I have a new spotted
seal parka and am having a fawn
ikin parka made.
“We have three mails days each
vinter. A dog team mail sled
eaves Barrow about November
I, January 1 and March 1. It
masses through Wainwright and
;oes southwest for about 150 mil ~
:s. There it meets another dog
earn mail sled which has come
lortheast from Kotzebue. An ex
;hange of mail is made and the
Iriver returns to his post.”
