NEVER subject to any
foreign power in its
history, Abyssinia today
stands on the brink of a
bloody conflict which may
grind her under the heel of
Benito Mussolini's Italy
an Italy that must expand
or burst.
There seems little chance
that Italy can be checked in
her determination to pun
ish Ras Taffari for the bor-
der raids by tribesmen. 1t
seems quite apparent that
France and Great Britain
have given II Duce tacit
leave to do as he will with
Abyssinia.
To believe that Mussolini has
been calm and patient is, to say
ne least, just a little naive. The
dictator of the cooperative state
has had his eyes pinned on East
Africa for long time. All he has
needed has been the green flag
from Britain and France-and an
excuse. The go" sign he was
given by Pierre Laval, Frances
foreign minister. The excuse has
been made public this week.
Mussolini, to take his spokes-
men at their words, is raging
mad over the Sayings of colonial
troops, of the destruction of his
outposts in Italian Somaliland
and Eritrea. Protests to the
Abyssinian government, Italy
roars. have been ignored. Formal
apology and payment for dam
ages are demanded. Of course,
the damages are fraction high
SIS. 100000, is the money in
demnity, according to cables from
Rome.
To expect Ras Taffari to swal-
low Italy's demands is pushing
matters slightly far. Ras Taffari
is a proud black emperor and
already thousands of native war
riors are on their way to Adds
Ababa to join the forces of the
king of kings"
Mussolini by no means has kept
his ambitions a secret to AbyS-
sinia. A review of his moves in
the last year tells more than
tale of preparation. When the
Duce sent Gen. Italo Balbo to
Italian Libya, America was given
to believe that the dictator had
become displeased by some ambi-
ton on the part of the flying hero,
and was exiting Balbo to the
colonies.

CENATOR ALVA B. ADAMS is
- bothered about "leak'' trouble.
Elected in 1882 as a Progressive
Democrat, the little Colorado
banker was once sorely discom-
fitted by a leak from a barred
committee room to the effect that
he had voted to emasculate the
Stock Exchange Control Bill.
Now another instance of his
undercover warning on the Ad-
miniStration has leaked out.
When the Presidents $4,800,000,-
900 work-relief bill was being
fought in the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, of which Adams
is a member, he not only Joined
with the Old Guard Republicans
in trying to slash $2,0OO000,O0O
from the fund, but was the spon-
sor of this motion.

XXTINSTON CHI U R HILL,
w when in this country, said
that when the American flag was
hauled down in the Philippines
that Of Japan would go up in its
place.
Senator Gibson takes a some
what similar view. Both econom-
ically and politically, he holds,
Japan is stepping in as we step
out.
Vicente Soto, delegate to the
Philippines constitutional conven-
ton, in a communication to the
writer, takes issue with this view.
1.-THE Japanese peril" he said,
ais greater under American SOW
ereignty than under the Philippine
republic" And he cites the fol-
lowing reasons:
l. Japanese have "mortally
hated" the Americans for a quar-
ter of a century-ever since the
California conflict and exclusion.
2. For some time now Japan
"has been provoking the United
States to war;" beating up Ameri-
can consulS in China, etc.
3. The American Navy admit
tedly can not defend the Philip
pines.
4. If the American flag is not
over the Philippines, the other
powers interested in that part of
the world-Britain France, Hol-
land and so on-out of self-inter-
est would not permit Japan to oc-
cupy the Philippines.
CENATOR M'KELLAR says the
- independence program must
go through if the Filipinos want
it. He hopes, however, they will
ask for modification. Dominion
status or something like that, he
seems to feel, would suit the
Philippines better. Under such
status the United States would re-
tain sovereignty and keep control
over the national defense, tariff,
immigration and foreign affairs.
A bitter fight, reminiscent Of IS
years ago, can hardly fail to de-
velop over the widely separated
views Of Congress. One faction,
paraphrasing Senator Schall's
hectic comment on Europe, says:
ITO hell with the Philippines!
They asked Tor freedom. Now let
them take their medicinel"
Others insist we can not shed
our responsibilities thus lightly.
And if we are to have the respons-
Utility, we must have the means to
make it effective. BY which they
mean an army, navy and air force
out there plus some degree Of
sovereignty.

Gibbs. famous American pioneer scientist is one OF
the worlds highest scientific honorS.
Since he graduated from the University OF
Kansas in 1898 DR.. Kraus has been studying the
chemistry Of liquid ammonia. His own primary
interest was that of pure science, desire to con-
tribute new knowledge TO the world. But as is so
often the case many practical data have come out OF
his researches.
His researches have had important bearing upon
the preparation Of various materials by electroysS
among them copper, zinc and chlorine. He is like
wise credited with much Of the research which led to
the discovery Of pyrex glass.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

WHENEVER the least little pimple blemish
w appears on your face or scalp, don't try to
pick at it with your fingers, no matter how clean
they may be. Doing may make the condition
worse and cause the spread of what is generally
called acne.
Acne usually refers to that type Of eruption
which comes on in young and women in the
period between youth and manhood and woman
hood. The scalp is scaly the skin slightly greasy,
and marked by considerable number Of blackheads
and pinples Sometimes these pimpes break, form
crusts, and leave either tiny pits in the skin, or
scars.
Since this condition is associated usually with an
infection by germs which almost constantly
present the skin, cleanliness is of greatest i'm
portance
1t is particularly important that the material
from the scalp does not spread down over the skin.
DLENTY Of good soap and warm water is Of great
l. help in this condition. Soft water is preferable
and any good non-rritating soap will help to clear
up greasy, scaly skin.
If cloth is used in washing the face, this cloth
should be boiled each time after use and new
cloth should be taken frequently 1t is sometimes
helpful in such cases to apply repeated hot towels
or to steam the face.
The flow of perspiration carries with it good
deal Of infected material After series of such
hot applications it is we'll to apply cold briefly, to
contract the swollen blood vessels and pores.
The question often is raised about the use Of
makeup on a face frequently covered with pimples
and blackheads. Makeup will do no harm if it Is
completely removed each night and applied freshly
the next day.
THE lotions used on the face preferably should
include those that are antiseptc by their con-
tent Of alcohol and which are at the time
astringent
In many cases, it will be found that persons with
acne are constipated and that they overeat. Both
Of these conditions should be corrected.
There are many cases in which the condition is
very resistant and in which the skin needs to have
its resistance stimulated This be accomplished
sometimes by suitable treatment applied TO the
blood including the injection Of non-speciic pro-
teins
In other cases. the condition may be helped by
right use of the X-ray.

first opponent the Emperor Of Abyssnia. This
match may be compared in its prudence and safety
and the effect which it is expected to have on the
Italian morale with Primo'S opening battle in the
United States Primo fought that occasion
Big Boy Peterson, who folded himself away without
delay. Primo left the ring thinking he must be
pretty good, which a deuson.
The manner in which II Duce promoted his fight
with his first victim seems 20 follow the conven-
tional pattern The Italians intruders intrud-
ing upon country where they had right to be,
which is the way that civilized nations make their
living and one threw a rock al them This
made the intruderS indignant so they asked an
apology for the affront to something which, with
their gay sense Of humor, they called their honor
The invaded people, backward race in need Of
civizing, long accustomed to being intruded
upon, but they had their pride and moreover, they
more than half suspected that the Italians had
thrown the rock at themselves preext for start
ing fight. This is civilized procedure with which
all invaded, backward nations are thoroughly
familiar from old experience. The Chinese and the
American Indians could fill the Abyssinans in on
anything they haven't learned.
Of course, there may be thought in the back
OF II Duce'S mind of squaring up very tasty lick
ing which the AbySsinians handed the Italians in
1895 when invading force of 600 Italian troops
forgot to duck and reduced to about 1000 before
