Swift and emphatic comment that
the American people are determined to
steer clear of foreign wars was heard
among Senators today as they read of
Emperor Halle Selassie's deciding of
half his kingdom for exploitation by
Anglo-American interests.
Senator Borah of Idaho, widely
known for his stand against foreign
entanglements," heard the news with
displeasure. He characterized such
transactions as buying an interest in
war"
Borah. who is ranking Republican on
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, declared:
The fact that American citizens
have purchased an interest in war
would not change, believe, this coun-
try's neutrality policy.
THE people of this country are de-
termined to stay out of European wars
and no amount of maneuvering upon
the part Of political or industrial lead
ers will, in my opinion, change the
purpose of the people"
Partnership" Hit.
From Senator Johnson, Republican,
of California, came the remark that it
would be perfectly silly for the United
States to enter into any partnership
with England which will put us in the
position of pulling chestnuts out of the
fire for the British"
Senator Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio
declared he saw no reason why the
acquisition of property in Ethiopia by
the Standard Oil Co. should involve
the United States in any prospective
hostilities."
The only comment at the White
House was that other American in
terests already were in business in
Ethiopia.
Official notification of the concession
to the African Development Explora-
tion Co. was received by the State
Department during the day.
State Department officials declined
any comment on the concession grant
other than to express the opinion that
participation of an American-con-
trolled corporation in Ethiopian af-
fairs at this time presented no i'm
mediate problems for the United
States Government.
The African Development Explora-
tion Corp, according to information
here, is registered in Delaware and its

The Ethiopian Situation.

An announcement by the Ethiopian
government that concession had
been granted to African Develop
ment Exploration Co., Inc, in Della
ware, to develop oil resources of half
of Ethiopia startled world states
men.
Francis M. Rickett, British promoter
who negotiated the concession with
Emperor Halle SelaSSie, said the
corporation was controlled by the
Standard Oil Co. but did not specify
which Standard Oil Co. The con-
session was for rs years.
The news was received gravely by
world foreign offices, where officials
searched for possibilities of far
reaching implications.
French officials said they were uncer-
tain of the effect of the disclosure,
but the opinion was expressed un-
officially that the Italians might say
the British stand on principles had
merely masked business aspirations.
British officials said the last thing the
government would want to do under
present circumstances would be to
support an enterprise of the charac-
ter reported.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the
Italian government said the con-
cession could in no way deter
Premier Mussolini's plans regarding
Ethiopia. While the report was
spreading. Mussolini himself was
telling his army that 100000 more
men would be called to the colors

Queen Elizabeth Musical;
Could PLAY the Virginia.

The word harpsichord was invented
because it was seen that the instru-
ment had harp-llke shape, and when
a keyboard was added chords could be
struck on it. Virginals. spinets, and
clavichords are all like the early harps-
ichords, the difference being in the way
the string is plucked. whether by a
quill or wedges Of brass.
Queen Elizabeth played the virginia.
well, and in her day set musical fash
ions. Observation-Disclosures and com
posers were very busy in the Seven
teenth and Eighteenth centuries max
ing better Instruments and writing mu-
sic for them. Later harpsichords had
device for opening and shutting the
lid to increase or decrease the sound,
and there was separate keyboard
with single strings to make soft sounds.
All Eighteenth century orchestras had
harpsichord, played generally by the
conductor.
BY the Nineteenth century the piano
had arrived, for people wanted more
light and shade in music. and the
harpsichord could not produce it. Gu
riously enough, a Spaniard wrote the
best early harpsichord music, Do
menico Scarlatti, whose music sounds
fresh even today-Montreal Herald.

Famous Home in Scotland
Center of Great Dispute

An interesting place in Scotland's
s'farthest north is John O'Grnat's
house, now hotel. The place has a
great lure, many people travelling from
Lands End in Cornwall to John
O'Groat's for the Lleasure of saying
they journeyed from the southernmost
to the northernmost point of Great
Britain.
The legend attached to the old John
O'Groat's house is often recalled. 1t
relates how, during the reign of King
James w. a lowlander came to these
parts, settled and founded family
the Greats. In time the family had
eight branches. AT an annual festive
reunion dispute arose over who had
a right to sit at the head of the table.
John Groat settled the question by
building an octagonal table The house
had eight doors. He then summoned
the eight representative members of
the family to a special feast, bidding
each of them enter by different door
and take the seat opposite it. This
they did to their own satisfaction and
to Johns This ingenious arrangement
restored perfect harmony.-New York
World-Telegram.

Color, Luster, Shape,
Determine Pearls Value

Four factors determine the value of
pearl-color, luster. shape and size,
according to an authority in the Wash
ington Star While many kinds of oys-
tiers make pearls. the kind in demand
are few only, made by mollusks pos
sessing a special type of shell with
an inner lining of mother-of-pearl-
that is, lining with a fine rides
cence. This same iridescence is i'm
parted to the pearl, giving it the rare
beauty desired in gems.
While pearl colors are largely a
matter of individual taste, most people
seem to prefer the white stones. But
to the true expert the pink pearl of
a fine delicate tint is most desirable
Golden yellows and greenish blacks
are also highly priced by connoisseurs
The technical term for the characteris-
tic pearly luster is "orient." This ex-
lists in various intermediate stages be-
tween dull and bright. If pearl has
the finest orient-that is, an unusually
brilliant one-it might be worth many
times the value of the same sized pearl
with inferior luster. Large-sized pearls
of exceptional quality are exceedingly
rare. Generally speaking, the most de-
sirable shape is perfectly spherical
pearl.

Duel to Death in Stage
Coach; Seconds Ride Box

In the early days of the Bourbon
restoration. in spite of anything Louis
XVIII could do, the mutual hatred ex-
listing between the rehabilitated aris-
tocratic ROyalists and the parvenu i'm
perialists was extreme and persistent.
writes Rev. r. D. Bruce in Chambers
Journal.
The most redoubtable of the latter,
perhaps, was Colonel Dufoi. One
evening this officer deliberately trod
on the toes of young officer of giant
stature named Raoul, an ensign in the
Royal Guards, during function at the
Palais Royal, and the result was one
of the most ruthless and bloodthirsty
duels on record.
1t was arranged that they should
fight with daggers inside closed car
rage, to insure a duel to the death.
The two seconds sat on the box and
the fight was to begin as soon as the
carriage moved away. Off went the
coach and terrible cries soon came
from the interior. At the end of the
time arranged, the seconds stopped the
CHASTITY journey and opened the car
riage door.
inside amid weller of blood, Raoul
lay dead; Dufoi, stabbed four times
through the chest. seemed, dead also,
but he ultimately recovered

Tulip, the Wonder Flower

For centuries the tulip has been
looked upon as a wonder flower in
many countries, but it has long been
associated especially with the famous
tulip fields of Holland. 1t has often
been called "the flower that set a ma
ton mad' because of the craze for
these gay but simple blossoms which
began in the Netherlands in 1891 and
reached it's highest point in 1887. Dur
ing this period, when only two bulbs
of the September Augustus were to be
had, one was purchased for 1000
forms, new carriage, two horses and
complete set of harness, while the
other was sold for IL acres of land.
This tulip mania reached such proper
lions that hundreds of families had
become impoverished and the govern
ment was forced to interfere and put
an end to the gambling in tulip bulbs

Early Settlement. in Greenland

In the Tenth and Eleventh centuries
Morse sea rovers, starting from Ice
land, made small settlements in Green
land and pushed as far as the coast
of New England or possibly Nova SEQ
tia. in transient visits But the Green
land colony was obscure, the country
was believed to form part of Europe,
and the records of the farther ex-
plorations were contained in sagas
which were only rediscovered by mod
ern scholarship. Throughout the Mid
die ages legendary tales of mythical
lands lying in the western ocean were
handed down. The true discovery of
America, as historically recorded, was
October IL, 1902, when Columbus land
ed on the island of Guanahani, now
identified with Waiting island, in the
Bahamas.

Animal Zoology

In general way animal geology is
a science which seeks to give some
definite form to the vast number of
observations which have been accum-
ulated during the last few hundred
years by field naturalsts and various
other people interested in wild ami
mails. Geology is concerned with re-
ducing and co-ordinating vast avail
able information concerning habits,
life histories, and numbers of the diff
ferent animals, with view to solv-
ing some of the urgent practical prob
lens arising as result of mans be-
coming civilized and interfering with
the animal and plant life around him.
