He was not the man to spend hours pecusing the Telephone Directory, so he spent an uneventful evening waiting for the second call. That was enough for him, he went out the next day and purchased the TELEPHONE HANDBOOK. Now he is able to tell in a few seconds who rang him

up.

Contentment shows on the face of Mr. Tupman after his pur- chase of the Handbook. His note book is the result of a survey of this book. He is genuinely satisfied, and does not regret buying this book of reference.

STRAW HATTED NATION.

Mussolini's Aim for Italy.

An appeal urging the Italians to wear straw hats, and containing obscure threats against "those who go about bareheaded," has been pub- lished by Signor Mussolini's organ, "Popolo d'Italia."

This appeal is made in view of

the crisis which threatens the straw hat industry in Italy, in consequence of the new tariff reform in the United States.

"Egoists," concludes the appeal, "who do not feel inclined to parti- cipate spontaneously and earnestly in the noble cause are social out- crats."

Big Industry. In Italy over 100,000 workers, mostly women, are employed in the straw hat industry.
