MUSSOLINI'S NEW
LAW.
SECRET SUPREME BODY SET UP.
GREAT CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION.
After a sitting which lasted six hours, the Fascist Grand Council on September 20th unanimously ap proved the project of law prepared by Signor Mussolini, with the colla- boration of Signor Rocco, Minister of Justice, defining the powers and functions of the Grand Council in the future Constitution of the coun- No dificulties are expected in regard to the approval of the Bill by the Chamber in its final Session next December. The adop tion of the menstre is regarded in all quarters as the most important political event since the March on Rome, and as giving the best guar antre for the perpetuation and the progress of the present régime.
According to Article 1 of the Law The Grand Council becomes the supreme organ co-ordinating all the activities of the régime which arose out of the Revolution, of 1999. It has deliberative powers in the cases laid down by the Law, and will in Addition give advice on every poli- tical, economic, and social question submitted to it by the Government The circumstances in which the Grand Council is given deliberative pawers are described in Article of the Law, which in effect places both the Senate and the Chamber in a position of subjection to the Council. The possibility of a clash with the Council of Ministers is eliminated by the fact that the Ministers are ex officio members of the Grand Council: as well as by the fact that the Grand Council's decisions must be unanimous. The Article Grund Council, according

WISH-BONE IN HIS
* THROAT.
DAMAGES CLAIM FAILS.
Mr. Francis Howard Bacon, of Rosemount,
Birkenhead, Oxton, manager for a London, firm of African merchants, sued the Livers pool Restaurant, Ltd, of Rumford Street, Liverpool, at the Liverpool County Court for damages caused, it was alleged, through the wish- bone of a chicken sticking in his throng at lunch.
The plaintiff said he was a re- gular customer at the restaurant. He usually had fried sales, but on this occasion, acting on the sugges- tion of the waitress, he had fricassee of chicken, with brown sauce and potatoes, When he took his second mouthful of the toud something stuck in his throat. He was unable to dislodge it, and at once took a taxi-cal to the Royal Turninry, where he was X-rayed and a portion of wish-bone extructed from his gület. He remained in the hospital that night, and sub- sequently visited his office, but was ordered away by his doctor for rest and recuperation because of tender: ness of the throat, shock, and insomnia.
Employees were called from the restaurant, who said that the mul given to the plaintiff was chicken saute a l'Italien," and was entirely different from ** fricassee
chicker."
of
The case, which was heard by n jury, occupied several hours and resulted in a verdict for the defen dants, the suggestion by counsel for the defence being that it was owing to the plaintiff's carelessness that he had swallowed the bone.
