YOUNG AT RICAN
RULER SCRAPS
OLD C USTO M S
Death Of Daughter
Prompts Issuance
Of Decree

washington, ID. C.-Haile Selas-
sic, the progressive young Emper-
or of Abyssinia, in Afrca. who
traces his lineage back TO King Sol
onion and the Queen of Sheba.
mas sprung into the international
limelight again, by the issuance
OF a recent royal decree in which
he demands that his subjects in
Abyssinia change their religious
customs regarding funeral cere-
monies.
According to Universal Press
dispatches, the Emperor chose an
occasion of deep personal sorrow
the loss Of is young daughter, TO
decree the end of fantastic funer-
al rites in his ancient domain.
While Western minds may see
nothing strange in the Emperor's
decree, those acquainted with the.
history Of the little monarchy dat
ing back to biblical times, saw a
sharp break with the past when
the report reached here today. 1t
may involve the young and pro-
gressive Monarch in a sharp dis
pute with the established church.
Daughters Death Pathetic
The current episode, taken
from the newspaper Berhanena
Salem, contains much pathos.
Recently allie Sclassie's young
daughter, Zenab Work, a bride
and an expectant mother, died.
If the young Emperor had follow
ed ancient ways he would have
gone into mourning for 40 days.
he might even have lacerated his
face, uncovered his body and ex-
ecuted wild pagan dances of la
mentation such as was the Gus.
tom of his land.
But Halle Selassie did none OF
these things. Widely travelled anC
cognizant of modern ways, he dc
-~-sss.sss~ ..tss-s sffe sssA~n on bii- cA-
ample to the people. So, in digni-
fed, measured phrases, he wrote
this decree: THE dead shall rise
and their works shall follow them
"The lion Of the tribe of Judah
hath conquered.
Halle Selassie the first and
anointed of God.
Emperor of Ethiopia
81 have renowned my sorrow.
sin order that we may not re-
semblc the heather, who have
neither hope nor resurrection, but
also in order that we may not be-
come hardened in our cruelty by
entirely renouncing our sorrow,
we should moderate our mourn
ing"
Limits Days OF Mourning
Therefore, said his majesty, let
there be three days of mourning,
rather than 40. After that let the
people return to their work.
at is not right that they Uhe
people) should uncover their bod
les and lament by leaping around.
"The mourning that is becom-
inc 70 Christians is to weep, eth
er loudly or silently, and TO shed
tears" =,
And the Emperor. having OBJ
served his three days OF mourn
ing. again turned his hand to the
task of making a modern, demo
erot;c land of one of the worlds
few remaining autocracies.

KANSAS CITY, June 17.-Five men were killed in a gun battle between the police and a number of armed men at the Union De- pot and two other men are report ed dying after an effort was made by aides trying to release Frank Nash, fugitive from justice. The dead include Nash.

RURAL SCHOOL BOARDS WIPED
 OUT BY BOARD
Board of Education Makes Important Changes in
 Existing Policies

Abolition of rural school boards, discontinuance of payme ent of transportation of pupils and elimi- nation of high school work in rural and special schools have been de- cided upon by the Territorial Board of Education which ended it's first meeting here today after five days of work. The first step is to be taken immediately, and the second and third will be effective upon the close of the school year, 1933-34, it was announced by H. L. Faulk, ner, President of the Board.
 All of the changes are taken in the interests of economy and to promote efficiency of administra- ton, it was said. The Board fixed the second Tuesday of March, 1884. for it's next meeting.
 Pay Own Transportation
 Heretofore, the Territory has paid for the transportation of pupils residing nearby, to schools in in- corporated towns and incorpor- ated school districts. Under reso- lution adopted unanimously by the Board, the costs must, after next year, be borne by the residents Of the areas from which the pupils come. This, it was pointed out, can be easily done by the organiza- tion of school districts and the levy of small school tax for that pur- pose. The Territory, however, will continue to pay the tuition fees as in the past.
 Regarding the elimination of high. school work in rural schools, which will be replaced by corre- spondence work under the Office of Commissioner of Education, the Board said: There are many places in the Territory outside of incorporated towns and cities and Incorporated school districts where high school courses are being giv- en at the expense of the Territory to such numbers of high school students that the cost of furnishing such high school course is out of all proportion to the cost and ex- pense in incorporated towns and incorporated school districts, and out of all proportion to the results obtained. For these reasons, at the close of the school year 1933-34, no further Territorial funds will be used or expended for the estab- lishment or maintenance of high schools except in incorporated

Ford Would Eliminate ssDOle
 System;'' R. r. c. Is. Attacked

DETROIT, Mich, June 17.-The shortest cut to restoration of an economic balance, Henry Ford said in an interview yesteray, is the elimination of the dole system
 One of the quickest ways to eliminate the dole, Ford added, is to "get rid of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Recovery can come only up through the people and not down through financial organizations and schemes. We must put work everywhere, not the kind of work that pays a dole, but a wage with a margin.
