The Bundy supporters in Ward 17 that have been interfering with his opponent, Selmo Glenn's meetings cut his auto tires, etc., and the one that black-jacked Atty. Frank Lyons Saturday night, in front of Hotel Majestic don't know that that sort of political warfare has a bigger kickback. It simply disgusts every person and costs Bundy hundreds of votes. No fair-minded voter in Ward 17 of anywhere else endorses that sort of thing. Frank got out of the hospital, Tuesday.
the daily papers, late last week,
announced that Harold H. Burton,
independent Republican candidate
for mayor, would not back any councili-
matic candidates. If this is correct,
it will assure the re-election of
Councilmen Payne, Bundy and Finkle,
Mayor Harry L. Davis' chief lie-
tenants, and practically eliminate the
Burton candidacy from Wards 11, 12
and 17. And what Mayor Davis' follow-
ings in these wards will do to the
Burton candidacy there is informed
that the Burton Ward 11 headquarters
in Central Ave, near E. 55th St.
is in charge of Atty. Thos. Frey.
HEAR! HEAR!!
The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Harold T. Gassaway's candidacy for the council in Ward 18 grows "by leaps and bounds". It is not only encouraging but really astonishing how the people out there are rallying to his support. Former Councilman Clayborne George and Mrs. Lillie Mason, his and Hubbard's woman-ward-leader, and Councilman Hubbard, four we created a condition in the 18th ward in Ward 11, where Councilman Payne has an even worse condition, owing to his neglect and mistreatment of constituents, particularly the city-jobholders who have to "cough up$ every month, allegedly for the ward organization. When it is remembered that many of them have large families, which include 3, 4 and even more children, to support them, it is hard to believe half's work a week on the average with irregular pay, it is not hard to sense the condition of affairs political in the mentioned.
The story goes that Councilman Hubbard told his city-jobholders to FILL his petitions OR! Also that each must pay a $5 assessment for campaign expenses, or lose their jobs. Pretty tough, isn't it. The Councilman, Dr. Walz, independent candidate for the mayoralty nomination, in the Gazette office, last week Friday afternoon. When a member of the city council, Dr. Walz showed his REAL friendship for our people by introducing and securing the enactment of a resolution which put the "capshear" on the three-year fight of "The Old Reliable" Gazette to open a school for our girls and the institution to our internes to train in, after it had been closed to them for more than four years under City Manager W. R. Hopkins and his welfare director, Dudley Blossom. Councilman Walz did this, too, with our three councilmen at that time, "The Blossom Triplets" (Payne, George, and John) quietly by, as usual, with never a word to say in behalf of the doctor's resolution. Lord, have mercy!
A charge of discrimination against our youths at the Woodland Hills Park swimming pool was made in an injunction suit filed in Common Pleas Court, last week Saturday, asking that the pool be closed until a new pool was installed against the city of Cleveland and Parks Director August J. Kurdziek by the two youths who had been ejected from the pool and warned not to return on pain of bodily harm, in the presence of city guards. Robert Taylor, 11726 Gay Ave. and Harold Johns, 2275 E. 101st St., filed the suit. The foregoing astounds The National Association that Mayor Harry L. Davis' director of safety, Mr. Lavelle, had sent Patrolman Jones to guard the pool. He knew that "Jonesy" would stop that foolishness at the pool, pronto, if sent there. It now seems that the announcement that he was to be sent was only some more Davis' petition to the city's interaction referred to. This reminds me that Mayor Davis turned down Atty. Alex H. Martin and Mr. Roddy K. Moon when they went to him asking the appointment of the editor of The Gazette as director of parks he fore his appointment of Director Kurdziel, who was announced at the time as a "Sweeney" (Polish) Democrat. I am interested, which it is known that at least 90% of the Polishvets in the city are democrats. That is how the mayor recognized our people of this community who supported him so loyally, two years ago.

8-POINT PROGRAM
The New York Congressman Tells Young Republicans the Party Must Quit Fooling.
Yellowstone Park, Wyo. — Col. Hamilton Fish of the 399th U. S. Army during World War II, westwarding Republican on Aug. 24 the party must "quite its shadow boxing and pulling its punches." The easterner, addressing a conference of
Col. Hamilton Fish
representatives of the Republican party from eleven western states, described the "New Deal" record as one of "squandermania, blundernia and powermania" and as "the greatest failure in American history." He proposed an eight-point program he said the party should demand:
1—A return to Congress of powers surrendered to the president.
**Asks Balanced Budget.**
2—Withdrawal of the government from competition with private industry.
3—National economy, a balanced budget, a soundly backed, stabilized currency and abolition of tax-exempt securities.
4—A new farm program including minimum prices for domestic consumption, adequate tariffs or embargoes, export financing, abolition of farm indebtedness.
5—Retention of the American wage scale and standards of living, together with enactment of a reasonable and adequate old age pension plan without political advantage and development of an unemployment insurance fund under state control.
6—Free Speech, Except—
7—Provision for national defense but not aggression, prohibition of munitions profits and loans to foreign nations.
8—Reaffirmation by the Republican party that human rights are superior to property rights and labor prior to capital.
Earlier, Lester Lusby of Des Moines Secretary of the national young Republican organization, urged the northwestern group to place its strength behind a movement for new aggressive party leadership.

Louis Shakes Hands With Roosevelt
Washington, D. C. — Joe Louis, heavyweight contender, shook hands with President Roosevelt, Tuesday, a few hours prior to stepping into a ring at a fight show to be introduced to thousands attending our Elks' national convention. The center of attraction wherever he went during the day, Louis said his biggest thrill came at the White House. Mr Roosevelt congratulated him on his string of victories. He declined to participate in the Elks' big parade, but watched it. They gave medals to Louis and Jesse Owens, Cleveland, Ohio, spinner and broad jumper.

NATIVE WARRIORS OF ITALIAN SOMALILAND, AFRICA, JOINED THE ETHIOPIAN ARMY, MONDAY.
An English Writer in Africa Gives Ethiopia the Advantage Now—Italian Soldiers Sick and Dying by the Thousands—Predicts Another World War—The Emperor's Lions.
(Translated by Living Age from Giustizia e Liberta, Paris Anti-Fascist Italian Weekly.)
To Africa! To Africa! Later we shall see. Men and material are being poured into the two colonial reservoirs of Eritrea and Somaliland, which are overflowing, bursting. The generals carry themselves like pupils of Scipio Africanus. The soldiers are exhausting themselves, marching up and down, shouting, "A not!" in a climate as hot as an oven. Nobody ser-
of the wilder tribes. One warrior from Diradawa said: "We will go into battle, not as an army, but as hunters. Our prey will be the Italians. We will lure them into our traps. Even our children know how to fight like lions and leopards."
His Lions Multiply.
The number of lions in the personal possession of Emperor Haile Selassie, "the Conquering Lion of Ju-
jously wants the war, and yet they are moving toward it, sliding in that direction with almost merchanical fatality. Of course, it is not impossible that Mussolini will double on his tracks at the last minute. That would indicate that the people felt too exhaustive to fight. The whole Ethiopian affair rests on very weak foundations as a capitalist war, as a war of imperialist capitalism. All modern wars are, of course, "ultimately" capitalist wars. But the specific motive of this war is not the desire of the Italian bourgeoisie or expansion; it is not the desire of the bourgeoisie to fits but the result of the despair of fascism. The Italian bourgeoisie as a whole is absolutely opposed to an African war, or any war, for it regards war as a leap into the unknown. War will come because Benito Mussolini need to settle his accounts history and because fascism feels wrong and gives fascism nearness its feet. Without Mussolini and fascism there would be no talk of Ethiopia.
Gives Ethiopia the Advantage Now.
London, England.—Battle lines, as tentatively formed, show that the Ethiopian soldiers outnumber the Italians, according to a special dispatch, Aug. 24, to the London News Chronicle from Addis Ababa.
The dispatch, written by Stewart Emeny, says it is estimated that 50,000 Ethiopians are facing 45,000 Italians south of Addis Ababa, and 10,000 of Emperor Haile Selassie's cohorts are opposed to 60,000 Italians on the Eritrean frontier. Pits, not unlike those set to trap lions, are being dug to trap tanks which are expected to play an important part in the Italian offensive. Adapting modern methods of warfare, the Ethiopians are linking the "lion pits" to their army headquarters with wireless communication. The opinion is that Addis Ababa says Emeny's dispatch, that Italy is not ready to make an attack now, because the difficulties of terrain which they have encountered have proved greater than expected.
Thousands Dead Already and Sick.
Thousands Dead Already and Sick.
Thousands of soldiers critically ill have been sent back to Italy already, while more than 15,000 are down with dysentery. No report of the thousands, who have died already, is permitted by Premier Benito Mussolini. Rain ceases at Addis Alaba the end of September, but now the horses in the Italian light artillery (which is not completely motorized) are sinking into the mud up to their bellies. In the Ogaden Desert, the rains have finished, but the area there is a mass of mud in which it will be moved to move until October. If fighting begins, the rilla warfare will be the order of the day. Ethiopians have a childish belief, says the News Chronicle dispatch, that their leaders possess an instrument—a cross between a magnet and a mirror—to destroy the Italian airplanes. Efforts are being made to restrain foolhardy bravery

His Lions Multiply.
The number of lions in the personal property of Hailé Saelassie, the "Conquering Lion of Judah," was increased to 55, last week.
Emperor Haile Selassie.
His favorite lioness, Ambo, gave birth to four husky cubs. Informed of the event, the emperor went into the lion cages and patted Ambo's nose and arm to show his warrior of the fierce Shoan tribe who has been the emperor's lionmaster nineteen years, was bitten by Ambo when removing the cubs to another cage. He only shrugged his shoulders and proudly displayed a lacerated arm. He was then shoulder made by other vicious lions during his dangerous career.
Predicts Another World War.
Beyond the war clouds generated by Ethiopia and Italy lie the Armageddon and the millennium of the bible. That is the prophecy of Dr. C. Fcheckzli, son of an Ethiopian chieftain and for over priest of the Ethiopian fall runs into winter, he believes, every power in the world will be involved in the conflict and he fixes the date for the dawn of the millennium at 1940. In the intervening years the world will be torn by an interruption of colored races from the dominance of whites and will lay the foundation for a huge African empire led by Ethiopia. Dr. Checkzli, who spoke, Monday night, at St. Mark's Presbyterian church, Cleveland, has been composing his prophecy for 33 years. He feels that it is about to be fulfilled.
"It Italy may have some success at first, but it will mean walking in blood," he said. "The millions of Mohammedans surrounding Ethiopia will not be still when the country is engaged in war. They will make it necessary for England to enter the struggle if she is to preserve her colonial empire. France and Germany will be involved in colonies and Russia will go to the aid of France. Japan, waiting for a chance at Russia, will come in then. America will enter to save her honor." Dr. Checlizzi is 74 and looks little more than half that old. He was graduated from both Oxford and Cambridge, England, universities. His father died at the age of 144 and his mother, who is still living, is 133. "In my travels thru this country I have found that at least one-third of the colored people here are willing to work for the international President of the International Research of Racial, Ethical, Educational and Religious Myths of Africa for Africans, Rev. Mr. Checlizzi is now a resident of London. He was graduated from Oxford University.
More than twelve thousand black warriors deserted Italian Somaliland, Monday, and crossed over into Ethiopia to help Emperor Haile Selassie whom they recognize as their emperor. The influence of the Ethiopian warrior culture in Africa for more than a quarter of a century. Thousands of other tribes will join the Ethiopian army just as rapidly as they learn and understand Mussolini's intention. The Italo-Ethiopian war will be a long one and will last for eight years, foreign financial experts announced, the first of the week.

IN UNION
IS STRONGER
SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1935.
The Ethiopians are good shots They brot down an Italian airplane Wednesday, disguised as an Ethiopian plane and added it to their collection of those useful articles.
---
Even the Pope has denounced Mussolini's threatened "war of conquest". This was done in a public address, Wednesday, in Vatican City Rome.
---
It remains to be seen whether or not Great Britain is going to let Musolini get away with his bluster threatening any country that tries to intervene in the Italo-Ethiopian controversy.
---
It is a sad commentary on the order of business of the U. S. Senate when its rules permit any member to do what that Louisiana "cracker" Huey Long, did the first of the week when he talked to death one or more important bills. Some day the U. S. Senate will wake up and change its rule that enables any member to do what Long did.
The N. Y. Post asks: "What has happened to the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill?" "The old Reliable" will answer that question, brother! It has been killed "deader than Heek's pup" by a southern Democrat "cracker" Congress that will always do that very thing to such bills, Elihu Root, and statesmen of his caller, years ago, announced that legislation against mob violence and lynchings was a matter of state concern only and therefore not that of Congress.
Ethiopia.
It now seems perfectly clear that if Mussolini is to be stopped in his mad rush to gobble up Ethiopia, it will have to be done by Great Britain. France, like the U. S., seems determined to side-step the responsibility of siding with Britain. In the face of the treaty of 1906, guaranteeing Ethiopian independence, and the American-French promoted Briand-Kellogg pact since, the positions of both countries seem cowardly. They ought to array themselves along side of Great Britain. This would stop the rush of the greatest egotist of modern times and put an end to his blow-bagging and threatening to wage war on any country that interferes with his conquest of Ethiopia.
BUSINESS IS IMPROVING. Most business charts show an improvement in business recently and forecast an even greater gain during the fall. This is particularly interesting in the light of statements made after the Supreme Court throw out NRA. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson and Donald R. Richberg shouted from the housetops that chaos would come in industry without Government control. But industrial leaders pointed out that business had gone ahead for 150 years without Washington bureaucratic regulation and there was no reason to expect the demise of NRA to injure recovery. The recent economic advances are the proof of the pudding.
WHO RUNS THE GOVERNMENT?
The strike in New York City of relief workers, with coincident attempts by union labor officials to spread it over the country, brings forcefully forward the question of "who runs the government." Is it the elected officials or an organized minority of a few million people? Union officials are demanding the "prevailing wage" upon all work projects for skilled workers, the same as though they were employed upon private construction. They demand that the "security wage", under which the government attempts to keep all unemployed at work, be raised for members of the union. In raising this issue these union or
ganizers overlook the facts. Congress had the "prevailing wage" question presented and after a long fight voted it down. It was obvious that if the Government set out to pay $1 or $2 an hour to some workers, others would have to go hungry for lack of money. Or else the five billion dollars appropriated for relief would not be enough and additional billions would be necessary, thus threatening the credit of the nation further and endangering the jobs of everyone. Stubborn strikes, either against the Government itself or against private plants which throw employees out of jobs, will not aid in getting the nation back at work. Wages must be based upon economic conditions, and it is an unwise leadership which forces strife at this time. Not only is recovery obstructed, but the doors are opened for radical agitators to spread their poison.
HOOVER VERSUS ROOSEVELT.
Former President Hoover, in a sharply wworded statement, has challenged President Roosevelt to make known the changes in the Constitution which he has intimated he desires. Immediately the gist of what the ex-President said was lost in wild speculation as to whether he would again seek the Republican nomination for President. It is unfortunate that Americans as Americans cannot sit down and discuss, without personalities, this fundamental question of where we are going with the Constitution. Actually Mr. Hoover asked a pertinent question, in the minds of many people, and whether he is seeking the Presidency or not is of little consequence in relation to this question. President Roosevelt during his campaign took a fling at the Supreme Court in his Baltimore speech. After the Supreme Court had invalidated NRA by a unanimous vote of liberals and conservatives the President lashed out bitterly in his now famous "horse and buggy" talk to the press. Later he ordered the House to enact the Guffey coal bill "however reasonable" might be doubts as to its constitutionality. All of these incidents make the constitutional question a very live one and it should have nothing to do with politics. There are two amendments which are being talked by so-called liberals in Washington. One would strip the Supreme Court and the judiciary of much of its power to review the constitutionality of laws. The other would give the federal Government the power which the states have enjoyed under the Constitution of regulating all business and industry as attempted by the NRA. Perhaps President Roosevelt opposes both. Or perhaps he favors both, or has his own ideas for changes. Whatever his views it would be wholesome to have them out in the open. If he believes that recovery can be worked out within the bounds of the Constitution, it would inspire business confidence. If he proposes changes, the people would have an opportunity, over a period of months, to make up their own minds sanely and calmly.
GOL. ARTHUR W. LITTLE
Of the Famous Old 15th N. Y. Inf
During the World War the 369th
U. S. Inf.—Addresses Elks' National Convention.
Washington, D. C.—One of the best addresses made to our Elks at their annual national meet in this city, last week, was delivered by Col. Little of N. Y. City and the most telling sentences of that address were:
[Picture of a man in a suit and tie].
"Organize your power intelligently upon the basis of citizenship needs rather than upon color, or racial consciousness. Don't ask for anything; but DEMAND by your organized vote your full share of representation in this representative government." The Colonel sure said a mouth full, and it will pay our people in every city, town and state in the country to cut out, preserve and follow his suggestions. The daily sessions were crowded and were very interested. There was much secrecy in the peculiar affair, as usual, was witnessed by thousands who stood on the side-walks along the line of march. There were a number of bands and drum corps in attendance. Most of the national officers were re-elected.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
MOBS.
Section
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another
6284. Limitations of action
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc. fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of chapter 6279 (93 v. 161. 3). Section 6279. The term "serious injury" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161. 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which such assault was made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood or manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 162 5).
Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children, the widow receiving such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. 6284.

A person present, with hostile intent, may be acquitted by a mob, named a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to com
mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping the county in which the lynching is occurred may recover the amount of this debt from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 1631 1.)
sequence 6229. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for ongaging therein. (93 v. 1631 1.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894
General Code or Rule:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of a building, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

REFRESHING RELIEF OF CONSTIPATION
Avoid constipation! If you disregard its warning and neglect to treat it promptly, look out for sickness! You cannot hope to have good health if you do nothing to prevent or to relieve constipation. Some of its disturbing effects may be—
Billious attacks, poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, bad breath, coated nails, itching of the eyes, bloating of the abdomen, belching up of gas, uneasiness, physical and mental distress.
When you need a medicine for constipation, you won't find a better laxative than a NATURAL medicine, like THEDOPDRY BLACK-DRAUGHT, made out of the leaves and roots of certain highly approved medicinal plants. Black-Draught costs less than most laxative medicines, so you can afford it. If you are feeling bad, like you might be in need of Thedopry's Black-Draught, take a dose tonight and feel better tomorrow. Sold in 35-cent packages.
"G-Men" Throughout Nation Linked By World's Fastest Communication

Indians Still Work With Birch Bark
CANOE
THE Federal Bureau of Investigation, Nenesis of gangland, has the fastest communications system of any national police agency in the world.
When a message is flashed to Washington that there has been a kidnaping, word of the crime is received almost instantly in the bureau's 37 offices throughout the country. Before fleeing criminals can put a safe distance between themselves and the scene of their crime, "G-Men" in all parts of the nation are on their trail.
Has Special Switchboard
This rapid co-ordination of activity is due largely to up-to-the-minute communication facilities, according to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bureau.
"We have a specially constructed telephone switchboard that makes it possible to hook up all of our 37 offices at once" he says.
"During the Weyerhaeuer kidnap investigation on several occasions we had telephone conferences with agents in Washington, Salt Lake City, Butte, Mont, and other places all connected simultaneously. "I have a connection with this switchboard in my home and so do several of my assistants. The kidnap

THE art of working with birch bark is widely practised by the Indians of Northern Ontario. Bark teepees, like that pictured above, are to be seen frequently in those sections of the province where rivers flow towards Hudson Bay. While the cedar canoe is preferred by the Indian who can afford one, he can still make his own out of birch bark, like the man in the photograph.

While the killer cried in a dense eastern Ohio thicket, hiding from the searchers, telephone wires between Washington and Ohio hummed as bureau heads supervised the pursuit.

Besides the operating staff, the communications section of the Federal Bureau of Investigation includes a deciphering staff.

Two rules have been suggested by the Sight Saving Council to aid in better vision: Have your eyes examined by a competent consultant. Read and work with enough light, properly shaded to prevent glare. It is suggested that at least two 60-watt bulbs or one 100-watt bulb (as in the new lamp shown above) be used for ordinary reading, working or sewing, and that the edge of the shade be within 20 inches of the work book.

Sheba's Land
Ethiopian Army Captain in Full Dress Uniform.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
ETHIOPIA, a familiar name in the headlines these days, boasts a long and imposing history. The kings of this ancient empire are traced from Ori of 4478 B. C. to Haile Selassie the First of A. D. 1935—with time out, naturally, from the date of the Deluge until the fall of the Tower of Babel. According to tradition the queen of Sheba was an Ethiopian. She may possibly have lived in what we now call Ethiopia, and certainly she included it in her extended domain.
Modern Ethiopia includes more than 350,000 square miles of the rich and productive northeastern African plateau. It is mainly a mountainous region, much broken by deep valleys. Arid, semi-desert country surrounds it on every side. It does not touch the sea, although some Ethiopian feudal chieftains—like to grasp a marine telescope as they pose for a formal photograph.
A ride of 20 minutes takes the arriving travel part of the city. Ad good streets and no "way tracks" quarter. It tions, consulates, hotel can motor cars, airplan some presentable bus On one of the two print of the city is the ever-latest phone. Here once a guest served for a triplet. The other mowed on the gravel which make up the most imposing edited "Hill of the Audience Hall of the of the Triplet of Judah stone and given its big by order of the late lik. Menelik claimed tue of his descent Menelik who was born her visit to Solomon.
In the population there are, perhaps, 5,000,000 Christians of the true Ethiopian (Hammite-Semitic) type. They are the inheritors of an ancient civilization under whose feudal form of government are estimated to be 7,000,000 Moslems and pagans. The latter are mainly negroes.
The country is surrounded by African colonial possessions of Great Britain, France and Italy. As the Ethiopia of Solomon's time, it probably included all of these adjacent territories, with an Egyptian frontier, and that part of southwestern Arabia known today as the Yemen and Hadhramaut.
There is in Ethiopia a very evident mixture of Asia and Africa. Some of the blood came from ancient Palestine, some from Arabia, and some from the shores of the Caspian. Authorities do not agree as to the elements in this African melting pot of races. But the Ethiopian claims with pride a strong relation to the Semites.
Getting Into Ethiopia.
The front door entrance and port to Ethiopia is Djibouti, French Somalland. The French are commendably responsible for Djibouti. It is the base of their 500-mile railway from the coast directly inland to Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. This railway is Ethiopia's only modern connection with the outside world. Djibouti is, therefore, very important to Ethiopia. It is headquarters for an Ethiopian consul who gives intending visitors their visas.
There are two kinds of trains now on the efficient but expensive little Franco-Ethiopian railway. On Sunday and Wednesday mornings a train leaves Djibouti to arrive three days later in Addis Ababa. Each Tuesday evening departs the "through express," which does the 500 miles in 30 hours. Passengers can sleep on this "fast" train, not in pullmums, but in adjustable seats. On the three-day trains sleeping is done at little wayside hotels the two nights en route.
The first day of this railway journey ends usually at six in the afternoon, at Diredaure, the first town of importance after the train enters Ethiopia. It is on the fringe of a plateau 4,000 feet above sea level and a 200-mile climb from the coast. An interesting side trip from Diredaure is the old Mohammedan walled town of Harar, four hours away by rough motor trip or a whole day by muleback. Camels, horses, or mules are available as a means of transportation, but the mule is considered the most appropriate for one of actual or apparent high station in life.
The second night of the three-day train journey is passed on the banks of the Awash river, one of the peculiar streams of the world. At this point it is a swiftly flowing river in a deep canyon. Rising on the Ethiopian plateau, it turns northwestward toward the Red sea, but loses itself in the Danakil lowlands short of its natural destination. Awash consists mainly of a small railway yard, a one-story brick building housing a hotel under quasi-Hellenic management, a scattering of native shacks, and many cats. Food and accommodations are simple and the most essential thing is a good mosquito net.
Addis Ababa, the Capital.
The train gets under way again the next morning at dawn and rolls through lovely grass and forest lands, where gallop many herds of gazelles and antelope. Occasionally one sees the dark blur of a rhino breakfasting on the far side of the Awash River canyon. About four o'clock in the afternoon of this third day the sprawling city of Addis Ababa is sighted in a forest of blue gum trees, across a rolling grassy plain.
A ride of 20 minutes on mule or horseback, or five minutes by motor, takes the arriving traveler to the main part of the city. Addis Ababa big good streets and no "across the railway tracks" quarter. It has also legations, consulates, hotels, many American motor cars, airplanes of sorts, and some presentable business buildings. On one of the two principal elevations of the city is the ever-interesting market place. Once once stood the great tree which served for generations as a gibbet. The other main elevation is crowned by the group of buildings which make up the imperial palace. The most imposing edifice on this designated "Hill of the Gebbi" is the Audience Hall of the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, constructed of stone and given its high-sounding title by order of the late Emperor Menelik. Menelik claimed his title by virtue of his descent from that first Menelik who was born to Sheba after her visit to Solomon.
Ethiopia claims to be the oldest Christian sovereign state. The teachings of Christ were introduced about A. D. 330 by two shipwrecked Phoenician youths. Before they became Christians, the ruling classes of Ethiopians were adherents of Judaism. Their present church ceremonial retains many traces of that great and venerable religion.
Resources of the Country
After the professions of priest and soldier, agriculture is the principal occupation in Ethiopia. The country is very fertile, though methods of cultivation are still primitive. Many fine beef cattle are produced, and the people are great meat eaters. They have what might be called a ceremonial custom of eating a bit of raw beef as a sort of hors d'oeuvre.
In addition to the ordinary kinds of stock, Ethiopian farmers in parts of the country raise civet cats for commercial purposes. From these animals they obtain a liquid musk marketable to French and American perfumers at $2 an ounce. The chase is also a commercialized industry in Ethiopia, and naturally ivory heads the list of its products.
Many an Ethiopian leopard involuntarily contributes his skin to American feminine fashion. As many as 100,000 of these spotted skins have gone to American furriers in a single year. Also furry furs are an item of profitable trade. A shy member of the monkey tribe, called the guereza, lives in the trees of the Ethiopian highlands. Their long, silky, black-and-white fur, was worn by the Ethiopians as capes until Parisian dressmakers fancied it as a trimming for feminine finery. Lately the Ethiopian government has decided to protect its wild game by requiring the taking out of licenses and payment of hunters' fees.
Where Fine Coffee Is Grown.
The Harar district, town and province, is the center of production of cultivated coffee in Ethiopia. The bean produced is of excellent quality and ranks next only to Mocha in world markets. It is called "long-berry Mocha" and is sold to a discriminating clientele in the United States. Although the Harar plantations are descended from seed introduced from the Mocha district in Arabia, Ethiopia is the home of coffee. The tree was found originally by Arab travelers in the Ethiopian province of Kafa, from which it took its name. Seed was taken from Kafa to Arabia, and thence came back to Harar. According to the Arabs, the cultivation of coffee also spread to other parts of the world from the Yemen, in southwestern Arabia.
In Kafka and adjoining parts of southwestern Ethiopia may be seen today vast and virgin forests of coffee of the indigenous variety. It necesarily grows without cultivation or care and thousands of tons of the berries fall to the ground in waste each year. The outer fringes of some of these forests are worked by natives in sections not too far from export trading centers, where the market value of coffee is known. Egypt buys much of this coffee, shipped via Khartoum, in place of former importations of the Brazilian product.
Lions are numerous in the Harar district. They are the fine black-maned fellows so alluring to the big-game hunter. Probably other kinds can chew one up just as thoroughly, but the Harar fellow is particularly respected. When an Ethiopian kills a lion, he has the right to demand a special audience from the emperor during which to declaim and act out the feat. Afterwards he is privileged to wear the mane and skin as part of his warrior dress.

Oriental Drape and Classic Pleat
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
SEEKING a new fashion thrill? Here it is and a rather startling one when it comes to "something different." It's the draped silhouette either of Hindu or classic Greek influence. Look for it this fall, for drapedfulness is on the way. As a matter of fact it has already arrived.
For quite some time Paris designers have been giving these draped effects a good try-out in evening wraps and gowns. When Schiaparelli and Alix and others first displayed gowns that either went harem or were daringly drape a la Hinduastan and when artful pleatings went classic Greek and the sari and the Ihram headscarf made their dramatic appearance, they created no end of excitement in fashion's domain. The venture went over with such overwhelming success style creators were led to adopt the idea of drapes and pleats as a workable formula in the designing of the new fall and winter modes.
The oriental influence which is being so dramatically exploited this season is shown in the costume to the right in the picture. The front fulness which is a characteristic feature of the newer fashions is achieved through both shirring and draping. As the season progresses the importance of front fulness will become increasingly apparent. The new softly styled frocks, the new separate skirts and the new coats all emphasize this trend. In harmony with this idea of front fulness comes the vogue of draped bodices. The most important feature of these smartly draped bodices is that their technique involves the use of gathers and fulness that seems to radiate from the shoulder line.
It is also significant that this stunning gown is made of chiffon, for the formal afternoon gown of film black is proving a favorite among best dressed women. The square rhine
MODERN VOGUE IN SCENT APPLICATION
A delightful new vogue in scent application—one particularly effective and appropriate with sleeveless and backless summer frocks and beach wear—is the one sponsored by a famous old French perfume house. Perfume, according to them, should not be applied to the clothing or handkerchief, or in little dabs behind the ears (as most American women apply it), but should be applied directly to the skin, spread over it in lavish quantities. Applied in this way, scent becomes an intrinsic part of the personality, being modified differently by the different texture of each skin, and so acquiring a warmer and richer, as well as an individual, fragrance.
A lovely and refreshing preparation known as "skin perfume," which should serve a double purpose in the sticky summer months (since it is cooling and stimulating as well as fragrant) is produced by this French house. The skin perfume comes, incidentally, in the fresh and delicate scent of lilac, unprecedentedly popular this year both as spring and summer shade and as floral perfume.
Another new note in scent fashion widely advocated this summer is the combination of perfume and dusting powder in the same scent to give one a single, individual fragrance. These combined perfume and dusting powder packages are ideal for summer use, from the viewpoint of comfort as well as charm.
Beauty Hint
An astringent lotion with a powder base makes an excellent foundation for make-up during warm weather. It may also be used to cleanse the face several times during the day before applying powder.
stone buttons add sparkle to the costume. The hat of quilted silk is very unusual—suggests Egyptian inspiration.
The other gown is likewise made of black silk chiffon. The waist-depth jacket is done in all-over exquisitely fine accordion pleating. The blouse and the softly tied and pleated sash are of bright vermilion silk chiffon. The classic arrangement of this sash obviously suggests Grecian influence. The Greek trends are reflected in every realm of fashion, ranging from evening gowns to beach costumes. Beach wraps are so designed as to fall over the shoulder in classic cascade pleats. Then there are the lovely white chiffon evening gowns that are all-over plated and go trailing in grace with pleated capelike scarfs which fall over the shoulder in most picturesque fashion.
One outcome of Greek influence is the vogue which calls for flat-heeled Grecian sandals. The smartest Parisiennes are wearing them fashioned of gilt leather. Picture a gown of Greek inspiration made of white crepe. The sculptured classic look is accented with a handsome gold cord with tassels about the waist. Gilt leather Greek sandals add the final touch.
The Hindu turban which the lady to the left in the illustration is wearing is noteworthy in that advance millinery showings are placing particular stress on the importance of Hindu-draped turbans for immediate wear with one's midsummer frocks. These charming' turbans and berets are made either of black or white crepe or chiffon. As you see in the picture the thin fabric is twisted and shirred in interesting fashion. A new look is achieved this season for berets and turbans of Oriental inspiration in that they are worn, in some instances, back off the forehead.
