GENEVA.-Italy has officially noti-
fed the League Of Nations that she
has ordered the abolition Of the slavery
system existing within the Italian Lee
CATION in the Empire Of Ethiopia
(Abyssinia), which recently applied
for membership in the League. She
has directed the native staff Of the
Legation, which owns slaves, hence
forth to consider them as servants, not
slaves, pending Italian arrangements
to restore them to liberty, with
compensation to their owners.
Slavery as 1t exists IN Ethiopia is
expected to be discussed in connection
with the Ethiopian application for adj

recognized that it is a domestic

 "Oh, dear!" Raggedy Ann said, Those are two mean little old Witches who are chasing Raggedy Andy and me, trying to get our Wishing Pebble and Wishing Stickr

In the deep, deep woods filled with fairies n everything, the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome came upon a lolly pop field. And after Raggedy different favored goodies, she and Raggedy Andy and Ned Gnome heard the two mean little old Witches bowling as loud as it was possible for them to howl.
 So the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome ran and peeked through the thick bushes in time to see the two mean little creatures crawl from a mud puddle and fly away upon their magic flying broom.

After Vacation Peel
 Your Discolored Skin

Women returning from the seaside or country with Drowned, reddened or freckled skins will be wise in i'm mediately taking up the mercolized Wax treatment. Weatherbeaten skin had best come off, for no amount of 'beautifying" will ever make it pretty to look at. The surest, safest, easiest way to shed the despoiled cuticle is with the treatment sug- gested. Put the wax on before re- tiring, as you would cold cream, and rinse it off next morning with warm water. Minute particles of scarf skin peel off day by day, gradually show ing the healthy, youthful skin be- heath. One ounce of mercolized wax. obtainable at any drug store, is enough to make any discolored or spotted complexion clear, white and satiny soft. Its action is so gentle no harm is caused and the face shows no trace of its use.-Adv.

During this last week in August we all feel like holding fast to sum mer with both hands. The holiday has been so joyous, the stay at the seashore or in the mountains so care free and restful, that we wish 1t could last Q month longer and We dread the thought of returning to the city and taking up the house. hold burden again.
 And so we stay on until the very last minute, knowing all the time that if we wait until the final Sat urday, the opening of school on the following Tuesday will find the chil- dren without enough clothes to carry them through the first week. Every thing they have in the way of under clothing and frocks and little suits has been given hard wear through out the summer months, and there will De no time to purchase a new supply before the day y-after-day pro- gram sets in.
 The really wise mother will do one of two things each year-either she will lay in stock of fresh school clothes before she goes away for the summer, and so have them ready WheH she returns September l, or she will pack up and slip home early in the last week of Augusr-hard as 1t may be to leave the mountains or the seashore-and replenish the piles of stockings and underwaists, panties and petticoats, blouses and dresses and guimpes.
 The latter rlan is a good one, for two reasons. By the end of the sum mer she will know better what the ehlidren's wardrobe requirements will be, and the prices on everything will be much lower than earlier in the season, as the shops will be clearing their shelves in preparation for the winter.
 A few days stolen from the pre cious vacation period will be more than repaid by the comfortable feel ing that the youngsters are ready to greet the opening of school with an ample equipment of fresh, at tractive clothes.

 Designed Carburetor

Introduced to the public today, the 1924 Buick cars offer renewed proof of the unreliability of rumor. For months gossip of what Buick would do on August 1st has been prevalent and often solemnly asserted by the wise acres as Ion good authority" Yet so little of it proves true and so many complete surprises characterize these cars, that Buick is to be congratuat- ed on keeping its secret so well.
 There is no question that these Buick cars will be hailed as a substan- tial advance in automobile engineer ing, but it will be noted at the same time that the new features are de- velopments rather than innovations, evolutionary rather than revolution ary and consistent throughout with those Buick fundamental principles that have endured through twenty years of Buick manufacture.

q win" said the President to Sul- livan, after Lundblad confirmed the first shopkeeper's decision.
 But the President was not so fortu- nate in a wager with a newspaper man whom he asked to accompany him on the walk. Some members of the Pres idential party wanted the services of a manicure, and when the question arose whether Seward boasted manicure, the President offered to bet the news paper man that it did. The newspaper man took the wager. We'll make it a tin of tobacco" said the President.
 At the first barber shop the Presi- dent asked the barber about a mani cure and found none in town. He paid the wager at a tobacconist's a few doors beyond.
 There he also bought plug of chew ing tobacco for member of his party, T am doing this in memory of dear old Knute Nelson" he said. This was his favorite brand"
 Strolling around the town the Pres ident stopped to talk with children, many of whom recognized him.
 Whats your name," was his usual question to each child. Two children sister and brother, told him their names were Constance and Jerrold. Constance, that is a beautiful name,' D he remarked.
 A girl of 12 ran out of her home and got the President to pose for photo graph. When he had done this he ask. ed her name and found it was Beulah
 T like the name Beulah," he said I've got a cousin of that name and Pm going to see her when we get to Los Angeles"
 Malcolm Jennings, of Marion, Ohio a member of the Presidents party hailed the President from across the main street.
 Come over here and see some game trophies" he said.
 The trophies, the heads of noun tain sheep, caribou, and other animals, were in the office of the hotel kept by George Sexton, who told the President the history of them. Louis, a 4-year old cyclone, with a pencil tucked be- hind his ear, which he exhibited proud ly, got another pencil from the Presi- dent.
 He's going to be a business man. the President commented.
 Most of the Seward houses are built of wood and stucco. The President likes the stucco ones. He spoke of the attractiveness of the log houses at Fairbanks, where he spent Sunday and Monday. He was particularly i'm pressed by the architect of the log house of Mayor Marquam of Fair banks. You know" he said to those who accompanied him on the stroll. there are only two classes of houses suitable for this country-log and stuc co. I like them.'
