Rome, July 2. Fascist federal secretaries from every province yesterday took a flying jump through a blazing hoop to prove their qualifications for attending the Fascist Party conference in Rome.
The jump was one of a series of seven physical tests ordered by Signor Mussolini.
Signor Achille Starace, Secretary of the Fascist Party, led sixty competitors, but only he and seven others successful completed all tests, in which three men were injured.
Ti Duce watched the performance and gave praise where praise was due.—Reuter, Illustrating the difficulties encountered by the Japanese army in Honan following the Yellow River floods is this picture which shows a Japanese army truck, plastered with mud, making its way over a military road that is now covered by the flood waters. The photograph was taken near Chungmow.
