BROOK, and THEL THURSTON
all picked the same day to grace
mankind with their coming - and
to disturb the peace of the world.
MYRTLE WORMLEY upset some
body's equilibrium on February
eleventh. (This is THURSTON'S
idea. She's here helping me put
out this hooey.) Of course, LIN
COLIN and WASHINGTON and
LINDBERGH and FREDERICK
DOUGLASS, and a few others of
note came into the world in Feb
ruary-but they're just small fry,
Ell? CURTIS CHIVERS SEE
that it's perfectly possible that
HAUPTMANN could go into a
strange room in the dark and not
stumble over anything. Oh, yeah ?
And how does he know, pray tell?
I hear there are a lot of local
Clark Gables who can get OUT
of strange rooms in the dark! Hey,
hey. Wait minute, Thurston
is gonna have her say.
ThurstOn speaking: Well, I real
ly don't know about my taking
up this column in mid-stream like
this but this is a grand OPP
portunity to tell you gentle read
ers about dear old aunty's real
reason for going into what seems
to be a permanent form of social
seclusion. First Of all, here's
warning: Do not let Aunty deceive
you no matter how implicitly
you believe in her. There's a
method in her madness and there's
a secret behind her seclusion. Wait
a minute, don't get me wrong! It
lis not that! It's a man down in
Iowa. And folks! What a man
that man is! Aunty has you folks
fooled. You think it's S. B.
/. However, I know better. It's
B., all right, but B. in this case
stands for BENNY BROWN of
BIRMINGHAM! He is a man Of
aesthetic tastes (take it from me!)
He's majoring in languages and
mirroring in music. When Dodson
was down in Iowa, the man played
fiddle solo that so befuddled the
poor gal that she's been seeing
fddles in her sleep ever since. {.
And speaking of fiddles or fid-
dlesticks reminds me that a GER
tain bass fiddle player in local
orchestra took the cutest picture.
It's so good-looking that can't
believe that it's he but I guess
it is he's the only man who
smiles that generously. :.
I enjoyed the PHYLLIS
wHEATLEY HOUSE ANNUAL
DINNER, didn't you? AS usual,
w. GERTRUDE BROWN looked
perfectly charming. =. She really
knows how to wear her monotone
costumes with just the right touch
of color in just the right place.
And in the vernacular of
MARIONNE PEBBLES, that mar
ionette or puppet show (there's a
difference between them, you
know was just "too ducky!" And
ALICE ONQUE'S little Russian
dancers were darling, too. But
the thing that bowled me over
was the discovery that KERMIT
KITCHEN has dramatic aspira-
lions and all that! Imagine it!
Il couldn't until I saw the playD

from a previous repast), but some

NEW WAR THREATS ABROAD.

With peace plan after peace plan falling by the waysde in the Italian Ethiopian dispute the Euro pean situation daily becomes ominous to the rest of the world. The extent to which nervous tension has gone abroad indicated the other day when dispatches revealed soundngs being made by diplomats to the possibility of forming a League of Nations military force to enforce it's decisions. While especial decision or cause was mentioned it plainly referred to but thing, and that the enforcement of sanctions against Italy. It truly startling revelation for it could mean only the invitation for an alliance of armed forces against MuSsoini.
 Following this significant report came Great Britain's query to nations bordering the Med- terranean with the replies from Yugoslavia Turkey, Greece and France that they stood ready to enforce sanctions. That, of course. could be expected for there is little that any of the 52 nations which voted the sanctions can do but back them up if called upon. However, standing military force for the League of Nations would be something entirely different It probably would blast the good intentions of the League all the map. An alliance in time of war is thing while an armed force under many flags a constant threat, like the initial proposal suggested would be nothing than invitation to those countries not in the League to get together quickly against the inevitable-war
 
 Mediterranean is sufficient cause to give the world a bad case of nerves" for it is out of just such things that conflict invariably emanates. But with the Franco British peace suggestion in the waste basket it is to be expected. The British apparently have had any idea of letting Mussolin get too great foothold in Africa and when their plan of turning part of Ethiopia to Italy as a compromise failed serious sure to follow.
 That Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia has gained confidence in his strength, or, which is more likely, gained assurance that certain of the bigger League nations will come to his support is reflected in the Emperors sudden bristling peace plan He will make peace with Italy, he says, if the latter will withdraw her troops clear out of his country, recognize Ethiopia a sovereign State, and pay indemnity for the damage done There isn't any indication of submission of compromise there, Rather coupled with the maneuvering of France, England and several of the other League nations it is more than threat of another European war. We in America can do well to regard is as just that and strengthen in every way possible our strict neutrality program.

Horoscope "The stars y.icline
 but do not c0mpel'
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2s, 1885

According to astrology this is day of conflicting planetary influ- ences with benefic aspects dominat- ing. It is a time most suspicious for church ceremonies and for philan- thropic efforts.
 Under this rule of the stars the mind is susceptible to uplifting in- fllences which should encourage clear vision regarding the spiritual side of human experience.
 Churches and the clergy should benefit at this time which is to in- troduce many important interests into the routine of religious institu- tions.
 While this configuration prevails concentration on. the mind and it's relations to world progress will be especially beneficial, because many wrong ideas must be eliminated with the beginning of the new year.
 This is not sway favorable to love making. Romance should be kept ill the background for logic must rule as the year closes.
 Heavy storms may distinguish January when much relief work will be imperative in many parts of the United States especially in the larger cities. Florida and California are to have an increase in the num- Der of indigents who seek milder cli- mates.
 The stock market is to be subject to sudden fluctuations and early January, after Congress convenes, may furnish real sensation.
 London seers have prognosticated the end of airplanes as an implement of war because an invention or dis covery will make them quite unneces- sary
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck that brings a great deal of pleasure. Old friends will be best, although many new contacts are made.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and practi- cal. Subjects of this sign may be exceptionally intellectual and studi- ous
 William F. Gladstone, En glis h statesman, was born on this day 1909. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Andrew Johnson, l7th President Of the United States, 1908; Charles Goodyear, inventor, 1900; Laurens Perseus Hickok. Amer ican clergyman and metaphysician, 1798.
