Aviation authorities think that Italo-
Ethiopian hostilities may supply the
first classic evidence of air power as a
decisive factor in war. The theory is
that belligerent with indisputahle COM
mand OF the air is invincible. This view
is partially predicated on the supposi-
ton that the supreme air power has
something to shoot at, in the form of
large bodies of troops. large population
centers, munition plants and the like,
but vulnerable targets in Ethiopia will
be few and far between. Troop forma-
tons In particular will have little diff
ticulty in hiding away from aerial attack.
Miss Charl Ormond Williams of Wash
ington, newly elected president of the
National Federation Of Business and
Professional Womens Clubs, is one of
the Democratic party's pioneer woman
politicians. After serving as the first
Democratic national committeewoman
from her native Tennessee, she became
the first woman vice chairman OF the
national committee and has been active
in party affairs for the past Is years.
A former president of the National Edu-
cation Association, she has in late years
been its field secretary. Miss Williams
is also prominent in D. A. r. child
health and parent-teacher affairs. She
has been a delegate to several interna-

been politically expedient; that their
transfer to positions in Washington Is
exactly what Is needed TO bolster the
National Government. And in the
meanwhile young Lawrence Cramer, who
has been astute enough to keep himself
from being involved in the row, is pro-
NOTED from the lieutenant governor
ship of St. Croix to the goyernorship
left vacant by Governor Pearson.
So everything is lovely. Governor
Pearson takes over a new ten-thousand-
dollar job especially created for him,
described by the President as the sort
of task that will engage the interest OF
a man with your background and con-
Germ for humanity" while Judge Wilson
goes to the Federal Board OF Parole, a
position which, the President happily
finds, will enable the judge to render
service in that post for which by train
ing and experience you are adapted"
But to accommodate Judge Wilson on
the Federal Parole Board q vacancy
had to be created. The person chosen
to vacate the board is DR.. Amy N. Stan

She is not a politician, but she was ap-
pointed by President Hoover. And the
politicians have been cunning for her
job for a long time. II places on the
Federal Parole Board are to be dispensed
as political jobs, the much abused parole
principle is still to receive Its hardest
blow.

Everybody Happy?

Tt is almost universally remarked in
connection with the Presidents method
Of handling the Virgin Islands imbroglio
that it was distinctly characteristic of
the President. Here were two men, Gov
ernor Paul Pearson and Judge T. Weber
Wilson, whose personal warfare was
manifestly inimical to the best interests
OF the people OF the Virgin Islands and
promised soon or late to get the admin
istration deeper and deeper into embar-
RAISING hot water. But it might have
continued indefinitely-for Governor
Pearson was backed stanchly by Secre-
tary Ickes, while Wilson was protege
of Senator Pat Harrison-had not Sem
ator Tydings indicated by the nature of
his investigation that he proposed to
throw bright light into all dark corners.
Then the investigation was halted
abruptly and a conference at the White
House ensued. The sequel was the
Presidents exercise of his right to undo
q Gordian knot In the traditional FASH
ion. The reader of his letters to Gov
ernor Pearson and to Judge Wilson is
left with the impression that both OF
these public servants were eminently
right. though both of them could not
have been right; that both of them are
greatly needed by the administration
in its work toward universal salvation,
though either one would doubtless have
been dropped like anot cake had that

both the post once and the occasional
purchasers OF one-and- -one-half cent
stamps. Also one-mill coin would pro-
vide q practical device for raising certain
postal rates which Post Once DEPART
ment experts believe TO be too low.
Nor would those opportunists be the
only persons ready TO welcome frae-
tional penny pieces. Indeed, 1t is prob
able that Mr. Morgenthau's plan would
result in an advance OF prices ell along
the line. Costs Of production have been
rising and, merchants almost surely
would pass on to consumers the per-
eentages they now are paying for lack
of a currency completely amenable to
such changes. To illustrate: IL the cost
of a barrel OF -four goes up thirty cents
in response to a rise In the price of
wheat. the ordinary baker may feel
Obliged to ask ten and one-hah cents
for a loaf of bread for which hitherto
he would have been content to take
exactly one dime.
But 1t is fair to ask: Would not the
buying public resist? And the answer
to that query would be an affirmative.
In Europe, anyway, fractional currencies
have had that effect. The German
people have the pfennig, equivalent TO
about four mills in United States money.
and the coin incontrovertibly is con-
venient. But they will bargain a long
time over purchases OF small goods In
the interest OF holding back the least
portion of a mark. Americans, 1t may
be granted, are less thrifty, but even
they would learn to take care OF mill
on the theory, generations old that In
that event the dollars will take care OF
themselves.
The nuisance money would solve the
problem OF how TO meet the nuisance
taxes" but otherwise 1t would be only q
bother. It's influence on trade would
be both good and bad; its value as an
aid TO recovery from the depression
would be inconsequential.

The Fight for Peace.

Events are marching fast toward
decisions that will determine whether
peace or war is finally to emerge from
the Italo- Ethiopian controversy. Under
the spur of British and French diplo-
macy every effort is being exhausted to
amicable settlement through the League
OF Nations.
Although Premier Mussolini reveals no
inclination to be checked in his militant
purposes, the League Council has been
convoked in extraordinary session for
next week to deal with the crisis. Upon
the outcome of it's deliberations depends
not only whether war is to be averted,
but whether the League itself will have
any practical excuse for further existence.
If the Council insists upon haling the
Italians before it for adjudication of the
dispute, MussoliniS detection from
Geneva. following the examples set by
Japan and Germany, is regarded as a
foregone conclusion. II the League takes
no action TO protect the Ethiopians from
aggression it will sign its own death
warrant. 1t is because Genevas prestige
is at stake in either eventuality that
Britain and France are making feverish
eleventh hour moves to induce ii Duce
to agree to a peaceful solution. With
the Fascist dictator demanding nothing
short of complete Italian control of
Ethiopia, the outlook for any arbitra-
ment short OF war is bleak.
The past few days have witnessed
series of Developments designed TO curb
Italys martial passions. Foremost among
them is the government decree allowing
the gold reserve OF the Bank of Italy TO
fall below the statutory forty per cent
coverage OF notes. Everywhere in Europe
that action is regarded as indiSputable
evidence of the strain which war prep
arationS are imposing upon the Fascist
financial structure and ominous indica-
ton of what the African campaign itself
will entail. Coincident with this step
came news that Great Britain may lift
the arms embargo against Ethiopia.
Next followed the revelation that Japan
does not view Italys plans in East Africa
through entirely unneutral eyes, and,
because of her trade interests" there,
would look upon hostilities with concern.
The ire which the British and japanese
reports arouse in Rome proves that Italy
is not wholly unmindful of what is being
said and done abroad in the face of her
preparations for conquest.
1t is slender enough reed for the
friends Of peace to lean upon, but it is
apparent that impressive mobilization of
world opinion against war in Africa is
now about the only thing that can pos
sibly prevent it. Until Mussolini actu-
ally begins hostilities, despite daily full
limitations about the infiexibility of his
program, hope must be maintained that
he can yet be dissuaded from carrying
1t into effect. The heavy toll that heat
and disease are taking among Italian
troops already in Africa is yet another
argument that may carry weight in
Rome.

The man ut the typewriter carelessly
pressed his finger against the coloriess
spiderlike creature which ran up the
page.
Maybe this was q type nea." even
as printers have their mythical type
lice" only this thing had been alive.
Ordinarily, the typist would not have
given 1t another thought, but today he
began TO wonder over life and how 1t
Is here one moment and gone the next.
1t had been just one of the nameless
creatures, one of the many which seem
to prefer paper and paste and ink for
suStenance.
1t had been slightly larger than the
mite often found in old books and had
possessed perfectly visible legs.
Now 1t WAS just . blob on the paper,
totally without form or feature, or
even blood.
Perhaps Mussolini will put his finger,
so, on Ethiopia and wipe 1t out.
Maybe he won't-maybe Halle Selassie
will turn around and bite him back.
This animalcule on the sheet of paper
didn't have a chance.
A part of another creature, finger,
itself hundreds perhaps thousands of
times as large as itself, suddenly
crushed him out of recognition.
The man did not feel like typing
right over him.
He pulled the paper from the ma
chine. began all over again.
1t was q needless, but understandable
gesture.
Life crops up everywhere and is In
everything.
A city is filled with 1t.
When one speaks of the "teeming
city" usually he refers directly to the
people.
Tho people, ah, the people, are the
only part although very conspicuous
one, indeed, of the life of Q city.
There are dogs BY the thousand, most
of them named few unnamed, there
are cats, friendly and lost; there are
birds, insects Of q thousand kinds;
there are germs to use but one term
for the strange bits OF life everywhere.
Man. the ruthless killer OF his own
kind, kills at the drop OF the hat.
There are, In every age, however, many
who have grown soft. so the pagans
would say.
They despise killing and pain, suffer-
ing and termination.
If they stop to think about it. as the
man at the typewriter did. they resolve
to have nothing to do with it.
Then, out OF nothing, they put q
finger on q living creature and put ii
to death needlessly. 1t is in the blood
No wonder the cry perpetually is, Out
damned spot"
The hard part Of it is, TO the gentle
soul, that 1t grows TO be . sort OF dis
ease Maybe he should be proud OF It,
but at times it becomes a strain.
He longs for the old days, when he
could put o rife TO shoulder and bring

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES L. TRACEWELL,

This Is the true field Of intelligence.
All else 10 ashes In the mouth. The
thinker stands or falls on this platform.
Yet such will realizes that out of
death and destruction have come re-
form, betterment, growth, building. II
IL all very puzzling.
1t is an old mystery and the loving
soul stands abashed before 1t.
Not his kindness which the world
judges sort OF weakness, but their
harshness has resulted in all this, the
visible world of men.
Kindness and light are stolen, rs it
were. from the field OF blood and
suffering.
Look down that cellar door in a busy
downtown block.
There are four kittens asleep on the
freshly Whitewashed steps.
One of them Is mottled gray, two Of
them black and white, one a curious
light brown which bespeaks q yellow
cat somewhere in his ancestry.
A thousand might pass and see them
not, or, il seeing, walk on without q
thought.
Not him or her who somehow finds
animals q part of life in an acute sense.
The quartet lifts heads, blinks, sinks
back to sleep, while the rumble Of the
city goes on above them. They are
only 4 weeks old and life Is mostly sleep.
They are part of the subterannean
life. In time they will skulk about
cellars and Easements. expected to take
care OF rats and mice, expected above
all TO take care of themselves.
The electric lights of the city bring
teeming millions of bugs the Summer
through.
They bat themselves against brilliant
show windows
Some lose their lives in light.
Millions OF firefies wing their way
over the citys lawns. They hide their
with brilliance.
Firenies are unusually bright this
Summer.
1t is a real display they put on. bright
points of light at an unusual height.
Not In many years have these curious
insects flown so high.
The tops of trees are nothing in their
young lives.
How the squirrels love the Summer!
There is one sitting on favorite
limb.
He Is as particular about his precise
spot on the limb as q famous tired
business man sinking into his favorite
easy chair in the evening.
No place else will do him TO eat q
walnut.
First, however, he must crack it.
Have you ever heard squirrel get
ting at a walnut?
He rasps away until you would swear
he would have no teeth left.
The grating he sets up goes on minute
after minute.
Il have TO work to eat" he says,
proudly. Man could be no more con-
ceited.
All around him the birds are flying
They are glad he is eating a nut, not
trying to catch them.
Life lives on life. The more the sensi-
tive soul resolves not to hurt, the more
. he is hurt.
