Ethiopia Arms
100000 Troops

That Premier Mussolini has tough
er nut to crack in Ethiopia than he
apparently imagines was indicated BY
the diplomatic correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph, who revealed
interesting details of Ethiopia's fight
ing resources, which, accs ,ding to re.
ports that may be considered authentic,
are constantly being augmented by Inn
portations.
Apparently, the Philippians do not
share Italy's view that they will be
wiped out by their modernly equipped
adversaries.
Most reliable estimates, according to
the correspondent, place the total Of
Ethiopian soldiers armed with rifles at
100000. OF this number 100000 have
modern rifles and $4,000 could be de-
scribed as "well equipped" The total
of machine guns probably does not ex-
coed 200, supplemented by number
of automatic rifles.

Miss SULLIVAN picks a name at
random from the phone book. and
It happens to be Herbert Marshall
a poor and struggling young lawyer.
Morgan calls on Marshall the next
day and offers him an important
executive position with the COM
pany.
One complication follows another
until the principals are involved in
comedy situations that are said to
border of slapstick.

by William Wyler, who. in private

Kate is 81. She doesn't look it,
not by a couple of decades. Seventy
four years ago she was playing Lit
tie Eva at the Metropolitan in In

She remembers the Civil War and
the Chicago fire and the disastrous
Grant administration. The foot
lights were coal oil lamps in those
pre-mazdadays.
In the dreary months when ma
ton was holding its breath and
wondering what the South would do
if the North elected its lanky
Springfield lawyer, Kate was as
cending nightly to heaven in Har-
riet Beecher Stoves infammatory

All that she had to report re-
garding those troublous times was
to correct an earlier report that she
