ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 6.--Nine Ital- ian planes bombed Dessye last night, hitting Emperor Selassie's tempor- ary palace and wrecking the office and one ward of the American Sev- enth Day Adventist Hospital.
 Casualties were heavy among the civilian population, and panic broke out throughout the city.
 Major G. A. Tifaport, Belgian of ficer, was wounded and Miss Petra Hovig. Norwegian nurse, suffered broken leg. Twelve persons were re- ported killed and more than 200 wounded.
 More than 1000 bombs were dropp- ed. and the hospital was evacuated just a few minutes before the raid ing planes appeared overhead. Beds, surgical equipment. operating tables and other pafaphernalia were strewn all over the place by blasts of three bombs which pierced the corrugated iron roof
 An official Italian communique reported that 24 Philippians and three Italians died in intensified combat between patrols along the Northern front, the outbreak being interpreted as marking the start of the first major Ethiopian offensive.
 Reports from Makale said Ethio- plans were making swift thrusts on towns where attachments of invad- CTS are encampeds and also on sup ply trains. They are said to be deal- ing out punishment behind the Ital- ian lines and then withdrawing tenn porarily.

MOFFETT URGES
LUMBER MEN
To BOOSTFH

international News service
The lumber dealers were told
today they can increase their own
business and business in general
and decrease unemployment If
they will redouble their efforts
through advertising and new pro-
motion methods to make every
property owner conscious Of the
Federal Better Housing program.
James A. Moffett, Federal Hous-
ing Administrator, told the Ma
tional Retail Lumber Dealers AS
ISOLATION here that some local
dealers have not cooperated in the
modernization and new home
drive mainly because they do not
understand it. He said
LAS your efforts increase, so
will your business. So will en-
pl0yment. So will industry in
general. And so will the pros
perity and happiness Of our
country"
Stating he is retiring as Admin
1strator, Mr.. Moffett reported big
increases in the lumber business
where the dealers have advertised
how cheaply such work can be fl
nanced.
January's lumber shipments in
Texas averaged $4,000 board feet
week. 80 per cent greater than
December 1884. The Kalamazoo
(Mich.) lumber men say business
in Southwest Michigan is coming
back" while carloadings of lum.
Der throughout the country were
% per cent above production for
the week ending March 80. Pay
rolls in millwork firms increased
II per cent in January over the
same month last year.
Mr.. Moffett stated business in
the lumber trade is soaring high.
The R. S. Foster Company, of In
dianapolis, reported an increase of
so per cent. A Seattle firm re.
ceived $1,000 worth of orders dur
ing a single day. F.. K. Weyer-
hauser, of the Weyerhauser Sales
Company, wrote his stock and in

Rockville Faces Uphill
Baseball Fight Sunday

Although Rockville has taken three
out Of five from Coiesville this sea-
son, it will face a tough battle Sun
day when it again meets the Car
dinals at Welsh Field. Rockville win
have 10 win to be considered when
it comes to picking the best team in
the county. Even then it's claim is
no better than the other two aggre-
cations which stand out, namely,
Colesville and Gaithersburg.
Colesville has the edge on CATH
ersburg. Gaithersburg has the edge
on Rockville. Rockville has the edge
on Colesville. Figure it all out for
yourself. Rockville has probably met
and defeated better teams than either
Of the other two contenders. But
that doesn't count when it comes to
the county championship.
Rockville took q bad licking last
Sunday when Gaithersburg and a
gent by the namc Of Murphy put e
all over Rockville and Mr.. Wesley,
who at his best never had much more
than a prayer.

Commissioners Seek Funds For New
Roads; STATE Tentatively Approves
Roads Commission Said To Favor Plan If Sufficient
Money Can Be Apportoned-C County Debt
Taken In Consideration

1t now appears that the State Roads
Commission will recommend that
Montgomery County be given Is per
cent of the funds needed for highway
projects this coming year. The Fed
eral Government, through the Works
Progress Administration will neces-
sarily provide the other rs per cent.
The County Commissioners were
informed yesterday through a re-
resentative who conferred with the
State Roads Commission that, mas
much as Montgomery County was
financially involved already with the
State Roads Commission and would
probably have to borrow money in
event of furnishing the 25 per cent
required by the government, some
thing might be worked out whereby
the State Roads would put up the
costs not borne by the Federal adj
ministration. f
The county officials were also in
formed that about 100000 would
be released this month. It was init
mated that Montgomery County
would receive fair-sized proportion
of this amount.
Elimination Of the railroad grade
crossing at Rockville and Kensingtor
heads the list as the two projects Of
paramount Importance, but the COM
missioners failed to voice any pref
erence. Thus it will be left to the
P. w. A. and highway officials to de.
termine which will be built if funds
for only one are available.
Leading the remainder of the pro.
gram, which includes work only or
incompleted or overburdened rOads
are suggested improvements to sec
ondary roads which are now in g
nearly impossible condition and sore
ly in need of repairs.
1t is reported that at least two Of
the commissioners favor spending thu
first money obtained to bring thu
farmers out Of the mud in the upper
section Of the county.
Included on the list are proposals
to extend River road distance Of g.
miles from it's present terminus neai
Potomac to Travilah and to surfac'
the 1.9 mile unimproved section O.
the Viers Mill road between Wheaton
and Rockville. astA
The commissioners recommended
the River road extension be built II
feet in width and estimated that tn,
work would cost $61, 900. They pro
posed that the Viers Mill road exten
sion correspond to the present. road il
width and surface and that provision

pi Eiful for those of US who live on

NEVERTHELESS, THE EAST

Henry Mencken may offer solution
of this strange phenomena. You
cannot beat the EAstern Shore for
hospitality and good will. Its inhi-
billions are ingrown md cannot be
displaced. Easton is fspe prettiest
town on the Shore. SALISBURY the
most business-like and citi6edk Whyi
one cannot even park a car in SaaSS-
bury. What would a Rockville resTSl
dent do in that town?
THERE is NO DOUBT that the
average Eastern Shoreman more
nearly approaches the typical Amer
lean of the Colonial period than any
citizen of any other section of our
country. He is never in hurry
and always gets where he is going
without having to make oublandlsh

fortunate as 10 possess plenty OF
money could do no better than make
his habitat the Eastern Shore. The
unfortunate without a cent, could
easily fare worse in other parts.
WHEN WE READ OF THE

some hesitation, knowing that such
animals as Huey Long and Georgia
