two days Of defending the admins
tration's farm program before the
Supreme Court, the Attorney General
explained his personal appearance by
saying:
"I would not have spoken at all. or
have come into this court, except that
I have been deeply moved by the
strain under which many of my asso-
ciates have been working"
The injunction suits attack the
holding company law, which would
regulate utility holding firms and
eliminate those deemed "unneces-
sary." About so such suits have been
bought.

"Suits have been rained upon US

clared Cummings, who compared the

But John G. Higgins, New York
utility lawyer, accused the Government
Of "hand-picking" its test case. and
said it did not cover al points in
volved, In the others. He indicated
q willingness, to negotiate to narrow
down the court battles, II the utilities
could have q say in choosing the

Justice Jennings Bailey suggested
the disputants try to consolidate the
seven cases pending here, but Cum

Higgins, jumping to his feet, replied:
I'VE would be very glad, in spite Of

advisement. His decision is not ex-
pected for at least two weeks.

X Il

There are two determining factors
which have induced the British cabi-
net to become realistic by admitting
at the eleventh hour that the Ethiopian
war is merely colonial campaign.
One is the fact that the British in
telligence service has produced con-
elusive proofs that the Italians mean
business and Mussolini's statements,
I'VE shall meet violence with violence" /"
were not empty words. Furthermore,
II Duce has the means to make such
a challenge effective.
The other factor, probably more
important than the first, is Frances
reluctance to fight somebody eIse'S
1DdT." While LGDdl 1CGs publicly

government that FrGnce UoHId
stand by the League" privately the
French premier iDds Ddrning his
British friends not to push him too
hard. Another tpdr, said the
sIlrelDd premier, 1Diu make nIince
meat OF the politicians tDho are
ruling France today. The people
tDiU take potOer In their otDn hands
and tDtH refuse to fight.
~
There is also a third consideration
which precipitated the sending Of q
brand-new set of peace proposals to
Italy. That is the situation in Egypt
and in Arabia.
MuSsolini has not spent money and
energy in those outposts of the British
Empire for nothing. The nationalist
anti-British element in Egypt has
been active since September.
At first it was believed in London
that the street riots were only the
usual outbursts Of the Egyptian stu
dents paying their debt to the Italian
money lenders. But it soon became
obvious that these riots were more
deep rooted and that Great Britain
might have to face again the music
of 1924.
King Ibn Soud, despite his friendly
feelings toward the Ethiopians, was
getting restless, too. He may love
Selassie, In accordance with Mo-
hammed's instructions In the Koran,

Ethiopians are unbelievers and the

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb, 2. A new treatment for prevention and cure of the common cold was announced today by University of California scientists, who said the treatment consisted of hypodermic injections of vaccine known as cold antigen made by extracting un- modified proteins and carbohyti- rates from cells of bacteria which are secondary invaders in common cold cases.
 While the exact causes of the common cold still are largely un- known we determined that after a cold starts these secondary bacteria infest the nose, throat and other regions, and these, taken from them, developed cultures which pro- duce vaccine" the announcement said

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala, Feb. Tn the face of open conflict with private power companies, the Tennessee Valley Authority is rap idly electrifying the countryside in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals with current from Wilson dam.
 Residents of four cities-Corinth and Tupelo, Miss, Athens, Ala, and Pulaski, Tenn--as well as scores of farmers, the Authority claims, are saving thousands of dol lars annually as a consequence of IVA rates.
 Plans of the Authority to pur- chase distribution systems in Ala bama and at Knoxville, Tenn, have been halted. The restraint came in the form of suits filed in Ala bama and Tennessee by coal and ice dealers and preferred stockhold- CTS of the private companies that propose to sell their systems.
 kn0xvlle lr1eS Agaln
 In the face of that, the city of Knoxville took another path lead ing toward obtaining IVA power The city council voted to build a municipal power distribution sys- tenn and purchase current from the Authority. One contract for structures costing s197,575 was let and bids were sought for building the remainder of the system.
 Only in Mississippi has the IVA hydro-electric program progressed extensively without serious opposi- ton. Tupelo, a city of 6,000 popu- lation, was the Authority's first municipal customer, contracting for Wilson dam power last February
 Tupelo Takes Contract
 Tupelo signed 20-year contract with the Authority February G. 1884, agreeing to purchase electric ity at wholesale rates fixed by the IVA. The city further agreed to adhere to resale rates determined by the Authority. teN
 Under the contract, the IVA is given general supervision of Tu- pelo's power system which is op- erated as separate unit of the municipality
 Athens, Ala, is another IVA cus- toner which has it's own distribu- tion system.
 Corinth Buys Power
 Corinth, Miss, and Alcorn coun- ty organized cooperative electric association and are huying IVA power at rates that are about 40 per cent less than those formerly paid.
 More recently the IVA move ment gained further impetus in Mississippi when 21 cities organiz- ed to petition the Authority to make power available to- them They are Alligator, Calhoun City Cleveland, Friar Point, Greenville Greenwood, Gunnison, Itta, Bena Lambert, Merigold, Beulah, Coffee vile, Duncan, Grenada, Houston aIndianola, Leland, Moorehead, Tun- ica, Rosedale and Shelby.
 Memphis Moves Toward TyA
 Memphis, Tenn, more than 300 miles from Wilson Dam, is the latest major city to take decisive action to secure IVA power. In a municipal election last November citizens voted 32,735 to 1868 for the issuance of bonds to build a municipal system for distributing current from the Tennessee river
 Thus far l3 cities have signed contracts with the IVA for elec- tricity and 25 zothers in Alabama Tennessee and Mississippi have held municipal elections looking
