MUSSOLINI'S NEW MOVE
RETRENCHING THE CIVIL SERVICE.
PEREMPTORY CALL TO MINISTERS.
Rowe, July 4th, Figures supplied to me this morning by various Ministries of the Italian Gov. ernment-it is significant that under the Fascist regime the senior officials of all Government departments aro at their offices on Sunday morning-illustrate the importance of Signor Mussolini's next administrative reform, writes the cor- respondent of the Daily Mail.
Signor Mussolini yesterday sect a message to each Government department
follows:
I intend laying before the next meeting of the Council of Ministers a scheme for suspending indefinitely ap pointments to the public services, in cluding even emergency additions to the staff.
CHIMNEY HATS FOR WOMEN.
WITH FEATHERS THAT LOOK LIFE SMOKE.
́RIBBON PLAITED COATS AND
BLACK SATIN SKIRTS.--
The dressmakers are designing all kinds of attractive clothes for holiday makers. for the summer sales do not in any way interfere with the business of holiday fashions, writes a woman correspondent of the Evening Standard.
While the line of dresses remains much the same there are any number of becam→ ing etceteras designed to add to woman's amart appearance.
Ostrich feathers are used to further the good cause of fashion. Short feather bons in two colours-pink and black, and pale rose and blue are among the selected shades are extremely smart. These bons are caught round the neck with a narrow ribbon and tied in a bów.
VELVET SPORTS COATS.
Meanwhile, before the new rules are laid down, I ask Ministers to stop
Will the caquation button-hole, real or any intended recruitment of staff and made from silk or ribbon, be superseded to abandon the "engagement of new by the posy made from tiny feather officials under, any pretext whatsoever,quilla Clasters of flowers, anemones, although engagements already madekingoups, rosea; cornflowers; and other but not actually carried out may stand.blooms are laid above and below the I should like to receive 'assurances brims of "smart little hats, and quilt that this will be done.??
Howers in many shades are provided for use as buttonholes.
FASCIST REDUCTIONS. Official records show that five years ago Italian Civil Servants of all grades num- bered 481,160, and their pay cost £32,000,000 a year. After the Fascist Government had taken over power in the autumn of 1929 the number was 377,000 and the cost £29,000,000. At present the Dumber of Civil Servants throughout the country has been reduced to 358,000, but owing to the rise in the cost of living

By encouraging better methods of cul-less. tivation it is hoped to raise home pro- duction to somewhere near 6,000,000 tons, thus reducing the amount of money Italy has to pay to foreign countries for im ported corn.
Velvet sporta coats are being shown with four buttons and a binding of braid to contrast with the colour scheme. These, if one wants to be really chic, should be worn with a jumper and skirt a of soft kusha in the same colour-Black and grey, brown and yellow, and brown and red are among the colours used.

NEW HAT IDEAS. Milliners, too, have new ideas to ad- rertise,

INSTRUCTION BY FILM. An instructional Alm, showing there sulta of better manures and better crop rotations and illustrating modem farm ing methods, is to be shown in the open air in Rome on the large Piazza Colonus next to the Foreign Ministry from the balcony of which Signor Musso-sloping down towards the front, lini will look on
The film will then be shown by official agricultural lecturers in 100 Italian towns, and eventually it is intended to

of Italy one finds the same rapid, direct, energetic measures of reform at work, all emanating from what ia now the single controlling berve-centre of all Italy Signor Mussolini's big room, in the Palazzo Chigi, where he is in constant conference with the heads of the various
administrative departments. After being discussed by him, with the Council of Ministers, Signor Mussolini's orders 80 out from here as decrees signed by the King with the force of law, and they are supported by the strict Fascist discipline in the departments of State they concern. The result is a maximum of swiftness from conception to realisation, with no possibility of interested or political op- position, which must make itseli felt, if at all, in the consultations with national representative bodies which take place during the drafting of the reforma
On this visit to Rome I have found Signor Mussolini looking better in health than when I last saw him two years ago. He has been undergoing strict dieting, which has evidently improved his general condition. A hardly visible scar on his nose, like a faint wrinkle, is the only trace of the bullet fired by the unfor- tunate Miss Gibson.
