ETHIOPIANS TO
TAKE OFFENSIVE
AGAINST ITALY
Copyright 1885 by United Press

Adds ABABA, Oct. 81. UP)-Evi-
dence that the Ethiopian army is
preparing to take the offensive
against the Italian invaders multi
piled today.
Several thousand troops of the I'm
perial Guard streamed out of the
Capital for the front, equipped with
modern weapons.
The Emperor called in some of
the best warriors in the country, in
cluding those led by the former War
Minister Iere Biru, who had been in
disgrace for selling government arms
for private profit. Biru's old offense
was forgotten in this national crisis.
He is known as one of the fierceSt
fighters in Ethiopia.
Meanwhile, diSconcerting reports
reached the capital from the south
of outbreaks of old tribal feuds there.
The withdrawal of the majority of
the Amharas from Ualual by the gov
ernor of the district for war service
has resulted in a flare-up between
Silti and Marako tribesmen. The
former raided the market town of
Makaro Later the Makaro tribesmen
returned from the raid leaving two
dead Siltis behind them. Further
trouble is feared.
After being out of communica-
Uion with Ras Siyoum, commander of
the defense forces in the north, for
nearly a fortnight, the government
today re-established telephone con-
tact.
Siyoum, now in the Makala region
with Ras KaSsa Sakihat, talked to
the emperor. He denounced as vic
ious canards the bazaar rumor that
he had deserted with 10000 men.
Siyoum reported that the Italians
are fortifying strategic points in the
Agame region, thus adding another
link to the chain of towns being pre-
pared to meet an Ethiopian attack.
The Italian line of defense includes
the towns of Aksum, Aduwa and
Adigrat and a drive to extend this
line farther south is expected mo-
mentarily

LAVAL FACES SUPREME TEST IN
EFFORT TO BRING EUROPE PEACE

The prospect Laval faces is dis
heartening. The essential deadlock
between Italian ambitions and the
Leagues stand that Italy shall not
be allowed to profit by an illegal
war has not been broken. England
still stands firmly at the head of the
Leagues united front.
Ethiopia's King of Kings did not
make Laval's task easier when he de-
clared yesterday that he was unwill-
ing to talk peace with Mussilini as
long as an inch of his country's soil
remains under the heel of an Ital-
ian soldier.
The improvement in Franco-B Brit
iSh relations produced by France S
promise to lend England naval as
SiStance if the British fleet were at
tackled in the Mediterranean assures
Laval sympathetic hearing in Lon
don.
Pay-off Light
me of the most encouraging de-
velopments-from Laval's viewpoint
is the apparent willingness of the
radical Socialists, led by former Pre-
mier Edouard Herriot, to allow him
a free hand during the crucial days
ahead.

PARIC, Oct. 81. U.P)-Premier
Pierre Laval, whose foreign policy
received the endorsement of the
French electorate at yesterdays par
liamentary election, today faced the
supreme test of his abilities as a
conciliator in the international field.
The honest broker" who seeks to
keep the war in Africa from leaping
across the Mediterranean by recon-
ling Anglo differences and
by acting as go-between for MuSso-
lini and Halle Selassie has 10 days
of grace in which to work a diplo-
matte miracle.
October 81 Deadline
The League of Nations will take no
further punitive action against Italy
before Oct. 81, when the penalties
committee reconvenes to decide the
date upon which the sanctions al
ready voted shall go into effect. La
val's power to legislate by decree also
holds until Oct. 81.
His efforts will be unhampered by
political pressure on the home front,
as parliament probably will not be
called into session before mid-No-
vember.
The cabinet will meet Tuesday and
Wednesday to hear Laval outline the
course he will pursue in his dual ca
pacity of Premier and Foreign Mini
Ster Then will begin week of diplo-
matte activity upon the outcome of
which may depend the peace of Eu-

ADUWA, Ethiopia. Oct. 90 Via
ASMARA, Eritrea, Oct. 21) U.P)-
The Italian army on the northern
front is ready at the given signal
to start a wide, deep advance into
the largest uneXplored region in
the world.
1t will be an advance unique in
warfare, in which baby tanks CO.
operating with airplanes will lead
an advance into country unmap-
ped, unknown, whose mysteries
include a race of black Jews whose
origin no one knows.
Primitive Tribes
1t will cover great tracts of coun-
try where people have never seen
a white man, never heard of the
World war, who if they have heard
of such countries as France, Great
Britain and the United States, be-
lieve that their names stand for
tribes.
There is no activity on the from
tier at present, such as fighting or
advancing.
The army is on the Aksum- Adu-
-Adigrat line from west
to east. Within the last few days
the area of occupation has been
extended out southwark from the
line for strategic reasons, giving
the positions of the soldiers great
er strength.
Scattered Resistance
Reconnaissance flights of air
planes have revealed only few
scattered assemblages of Ethiopian
troops in the Bircutan-Tembien-
Makale regions extending so miles
southwark.
Official spokesmen hesitate to
estimate the total Ethiopian
strength before them, but believe
it may reach from 10000 to 10000
men. However, they say the Eth
iopians may be able to muster 100,-
600 men in all on the whole north
ern front from the Sudan to the
Red Sea.
Actually the Italian northern
army is occupying a front of only
about 81 miles from east to west.
1t has met with almost no resis-
tance since the campaign started
October TO-
The principal activity at the mo-
ment is the continuous consolida-
ton of the position-advancing
supplies for the next stage, extend
ing and widening roads.
Even the roads improved for
transport of supplies it is far from
plain sailing. For example the
road from Eritrea to Adigrat has
1500-odd sharp curves, many on the
edge of precipices.

Rugs Require
Right Care

To make your Oriental rugs
enduring as the Sahara, take
care of them properly, advises
House Beautiful.
Vacuum them daily. Run the
machine with nap not against
it. Don't beat them. Rugs
which get hard wear should be
cleaned by an expert once a
year. If the rug is not much
used and is in good condition
at the Ell 1 of the year, vacuum
it thoroughly on both sides.
Then pack it away in your attic
or a closet, wrapped in heavy
tar paper and camphor.
At the first sign of spotting,
or thinning, or ragged edges,
be sure to send the rug to a
good repair man at once. De-
terioration, once begun, pro-
crosses rapidly. If you catch 1t
promptly, the rug will be as
good as new in a few days.
It's worth sending it to an
expert as he will know how to
knot the section which has to
be renewed in the exact way in
which it was knotted originally.

Stop When Tired

The first thing for her to re.
member is that, after all, she is
her own boss. She does not
work by a time-clock, even
though her hours be long. She
is not the victim Of some eff
cheney experts Speeding-up sys-
tenn.
When she goes about doing
her housework and begins to
feel tired, she ought to stop
then and there for a short rest.
Though she takes only five
minutes, lying down for that pc
riod on bed or couch will have a
refreshing effect. Why should
she not enjoy several such brief
rest periods each day? Who's
stopping her?
There are natural intervals
between many household tasks
as, for example, when dinner
goes into the oven and there's
little more to do to it until the
time comes to take it out. A bed
or couch or comfortable chair is
always close at hand.
A wife and mother is one
worker who, if she will, has the
opportunity to treat herself more
or less like a human being in
stead of a driven machine.

How is a fruit cup eaten
with your teaspoon or fork?
When ordering a meal, is it
correct to first mention your
entree or should one first men,
ton the appetizer and soup?
When hould waffles be
eaten. and how? K.
When foods are served in
individual side dishes, you will
usually find it more convent
emit to serve these foods to
your dinner plate. And the
thing to keep in mind is that
this serving should be done as
"daintily" as possible. That is,
you should use, if possible,
both the serving fork and
spoon, or. if both arr not pro-
vided, the serving spoon. And
usually it is better not to serve
the food all at once to your
plata portion at a time is
better.
This type of service, the "side
Dishes" is not in good form,
and has practically gone out
Of use in homes. But we do
often encounter it in restaurant
service.
A fruit cup (fruit cocktaiD
should be eaten with a teaspoon.
This is much easier and more
convenient than using any kind
or size of fork. And then too
we have the spoon to be used for
eating the delicious juice that
Is at the bottom of the glass.
1t is easier for all concerned
II you order the dinner in the
sequence in which it is to be
served. 1t needn't all be ordered
at once. In fact, usually we
wait to order our dessert, for the
obvious reason that very often
our choice of dessert changes
after we have eaten the previous
courses.
WaffleS seem to be an ex-
tremely popular food for all
times of the day-for breakfast
through late supper. They are,
think, most conveniently eaten
with the knife and fork. But
eat them with only the fork, If
you prefer.

Give Skin
Patient
Care
By JULIET SHELBY

Enlarged pores and black
heads are common skin con-
ditions with which many
women must cope.
In some instances, regular
skin scrubbings with a COM
plexion brush and special
medicated soap will clear the
skin of these pesky blem-
ishes; in other cases, more
drastic treatment is required.
Every prominent salon has a
special treatment for black
heads, and if you can afford to
indulge in one or two a week
until your skin has cleared, y
all means do so. For struggling
at home with the problem re-
quires infinite patience, and
you must at all times refrain
from squeezing" them out.
Two Aids
But, on the other hand, If you
have the patience to tackle
your problem, I can tell you Of
two products that make an ex'
c. basic t. ent.
One is a lotion that is ap-
piled twice weekly, after you
have cleansed and steamed your
face. The other is an ointment
with which to soothe your skin
after you have "rolled" out some
of the irritants.
The same salon has a pore re-

use between treatments If your
pores have grown enlarged be.

This is a good time of the year
to get your face in order. A new

And don't think that you are
the only woman in the world
with such a problem. Many Of

constant watch lest they, too,
develop this common condition.

Its worst feature is the fact
that with an unlimited amount
to spend most women give their
clothes very little thought.
They buy the thing that hap

on it hangs in some closet, for
