The Rome accord was designed to provide a comprehensive settlement of all conflicts of British and Italian interests in the Mediterranean, Africa, the Near East and Spain. It provided for British recognition of Italy's conquest of Ethiopia and for complete Italian withdrawal from Spain after the civil war and Italy's assurances that she had no territorial or political aims in Spain. Cheers from the Prime Minister's supporters and cries of "never!" from the opposition greeted his terse announcement.

Widely and enthusiastically acclaimed the best parade Lock Havch ever had. last evening's Mardi Gras procession of mummers was a cavalcade of gaiety, fantasy and humor, not mention melody, martial music and lively entertainment, which entertained a throng of close to ten thousand spectators and made both paraders and watchers oblivious to the fact that Jack Frost was nipping their toes.

Half an hour late in starting. due to a message from Milton to the effect that the Junior Drum Corps of that would be a little late in arriving but wanted a chance to march in the parade, the march began shortly after 8 o'clock. The Lewistown musical groups also arrived late. Feur-Mile Walk Forming below Henderson the various divisions swung into line and began." the long trek through four miles of the city's principal thoroughfares. The long line of march was charted because of the length of the parade--it took nearly three-quarters of an hour to pass a given point--and the necessity for all entries to pass the judges' stand twice.

once for the judges to judge and again to permit the judges to dash out into the line of march and award the prize tickets. The last task was considerably impeded by th: mass of spectators who got tangled up with the judges in their eagerness to see the parade a second time. All the judges were present. occupying the narrow balcony in the front of the Irvin House, where Truman O. Allen presided on behalf of the fire companies sponsoring the parade.

Highlights of the procession, led by Fire Chief J. Bertrand Smith Assistant Chief J. Franklin in one car, and Safety Director Edward R. Kemerer and the presidents of the three fire companies in another, included the dozen smart musical organizations. the impressive array of fire fighting crews from all the forest districts in this vicinity, the local fire apparatus and fire boats and the fire-fighting equipment of the neighboring towns of Flemington, Mill Hall and Avis.

The new dress of the Citizens truck had been kept a dark-no, a -secret for a se'en-night by the uptown fireladdies who fervently hoped there would be no fire alarm to force them to bring their chariot out into the light of day before the paint job was complete. There was one still alarm a few days ago, but apparently the Citizens sneaked through back alleys and side streets, for the appearance of the truck in its new cOStume was 3 surprise to most of those who saw it in last night's parade. Carefree Mummers The mummers were all shapes, sizes, descriptions and colors as they paraded past the filled sidewalks to laughter. applause and appreciative comments.
