Prince Alexis Met
 Death L Accident

London to Paris--everything that couple might take interest in were but a few features of their married life.
 But more and more Alexis, a three-goal man, devoted himself to polo, and more and more Barbara wistfully travelled alone, denyine stoutly that there was disagree ment.
 Barbara went to Reno and was divorced May IS. She married at once Count von Haugwitz- Revent- low.
 Alexis, at Venice, said "It's all Tn a lifetime" and continued his hap py life.
 Barbara Very Sorry (Copyright 1895, by United Press)
 Warnemuende, Germany, Aug 2 -UP)-"I am terribly, terribly sorry" said Countess Barbara von Haugwitz- z-Reventlow, divorced wife of Alexis Mdivani, when informed today of his death in Spain.
 T am not surprised. always felt something like this would hap pen. He drove like mad"
 Countess Barbara obviously was deeply moved when the United Press correspondent informed her of her former husbands tragic death. She neither cried nor broke down, however. She hesitated and asked:
 Are you sure?" and then: When did it happen?" Was he alone?"
 She was with her new husband, Count Court von Haugwitz- -Revent- low, and a small party. The count, beside her, was stirred but made no comment.
 Countess Barbara seemed in the best of health. She said she was looking forward eagerly to her first visit to Denmark. They are on their way from Paris to Denmark, and will go direct to the counts es- tate outside Copenhagen.
 Jose Mendoza, civil guard who identified the princes companion, told the United Press:
 When I arrived on the scene, I found the investigating judge al- ready on hand. The car was a C. passenger Rolls-Royce touring with a British license, apparently be- longing to Mdivani. It had rolled over three times.
 We found Mdivani underneath it, his head badly crushed.
 The baroness was unconscious. She had been thrown clear and was lying six feet away. She had injuries about the face and at the base of the skull. She was taken to Gerona in Red Cross ambu- lance. Another ambulance took Mdivanis body to Albons.
 "The baroness had German passport issued to Baroness Maud Chyssen."

Failure of the bill to pass robbed every city. town and borough of the state of substantial sums that could have been used in extending relief to needy persons.
 William M. Harris. head of hte local Mutual Aid and EZRA ad- ministrator here. is a member of the league. He will cooperate with the mayor in preparing the figures asked for. It is likely that if a special session of the legislature is held the league will once more urge a two-cent sales tax or else the adoption of the Mutual Aid system. the latter to go into effect mandatorily in every city. town and borough of Connecticut.

clashes on the disputed East African frontier of Ethiopia and the Italian colonies of Eritrea and Somaliland.
 2-Negotiations by Britain, France and Italy to settle the whole dispute between Italy and Ethiopia, of which the frontier clashes are but minor part. Bri- tain would represent Ethiopia.
 It was hoped that the league council could be convoked this aft ernoon and asked to give its ap- proval to the plan.
 Council approval was believed certain.
 The negotiations provided in the "big three" resolution to be pre- sented-if all goes well-give a months respite in a situation which European statesmen fear might send the flames of war roar- ing from Ethiopia to Europe and bring world chaos.
 Victory for Italy
 The plan is a compromise. a vic tory for Italy in it's. defiance of the league and its own ally Bri- tain; a compromise distasteful to Ethiopia-but one which, delegates of the powers hope. may prevent a war.
 It is a triumph for swarthy. Pierre Laval, premier and foreign minister of France.
 Mussolini, by telephone from Rome. curtly rejected yesterday a plan for two part negotiation which his delegate Baron Aloise submitted to him. The rejection was expected. It would have been a marked victory for Ethiopia.
 Laval started to work at once to re-draft his plan.
 The compromise was telephoned to Mussolini. His answer was awaited this morning as Eden sought to "selp' the plan to Tecla Hawariat of Ethiopia and his legal expert assistant, Prof. Gaston Jeze.
 Negotiations Go On
 Under the plan the two-part negotiations would proceed, if necessary, until date during Sep tember. If there had been no agreement, the league council would meet and stake the leagues life on a bitter fight to fix responsi- bility for certain war; a fight in which small nations would de- nounce Italy angrily, and which would almost certainly result in Italy's resignation from the league unless the 57 world nations in 1t capitulated to Mussolini's demand for colonial expansion.
 Success would mean that Ethi- opia unwillingly surrendered a measure of its independence, un- der a formula which would give Italy important concession but would preserve, in formal treaty words, the name of sovereign na- ton.

 About 12 in Party
 About 12 young men and women made up the party. All are em- ployes of Worth's store, except sherman Kramer. He was an in- vited guest. The young people left here after the store closed and drove by car to the pond. An eve- ming of enjoyment and gaiety fol- lowed, during which the members of the party went bathing, ate frankfurts and danced in the cot tage.
 Boat Was OvercrOwded
 Lieutenant William Schatzman of the Beacon Falls barracks who took charge of the investigation, stated today that the return to the mainland was made in two boats. He said one of the boats made the trip safely. The other he described as being overcrowd- ed, carrying either eight or nine and started for shore. At a point about 100 feet from the pier and about 15 feet from shore, the boat sprung a. leak and started to fill with water.
 Lieutenant Schatzman said the people in the boat became pam icky and jumped into the water, which at that point was about five feet deep. Some of those who jumped, managed to grab hold of the overturned boat. while four went down.
 Two Were Rescued

But there is a spirit of utmost determination to fight for independence, and Etho- plans are arriving from points one- third of the way around the earth to volunteer. The correspondent passed today dozens of groups drilling and marching in the streets as he walked between his hotel and the foreign office. Some were armed; others just drilling, in the preliminary stages of train- ing. All were deeply concentrated. Beside them groups of six-year- old boys and of all aes upward, marched in faithful imitation.
 Bare-footed Men in Line
 Rangy, postling, bare-footed men at arms came trooping into town, some times hundreds strong. Those in the encourages of the tribal chiefs may carry rifles 50 years old, but they carry them with con fidence and familiarity; and the guns shoot.
 Observers here question whether Emperor Halle Selassie I will be able to rely on the Danakili war riors of the northeast lowlands, bordering on Italian Eritrea. or the Somalis in the southern lowlands, bordering on Italian Somaliland.
 Bue these upland Amhara tribes 4P fx.k tn,. EtHtAvfa the great plateau which threatens to nullify infantry and motorized units and to make air attack diff ficult.
 On the slow, pumping, rattling narrow gauge railway from Djibou- ti, on the coast, this correspondent saw crossed miles of boulders where it was impossible to step along flatly. Theer were lava flows capable of cutting feet--or army boots-to ribbons, waterless wastes, gorges.
 Real Difficulties
 But the real difficulties start with the Plateau and its huge ero- sion gulches, its 15,000-foot moun- tains, its 5,000-foot chasms, its fever ridden valleys-with only mule tracks for roads.
 This combination brings many foreigners to the belief that an Italian attack, in event of war. would be stalled after a short ad- vance southward after the conquest of all of Ogaden below the pla- teau edge.
 (The Italians are expected to at- tack southward from the hilly northwest corner of Eritrea, in their main force; and to advance westward to take the ogaden low lands bordering on Somaliland, where theer occurred most of the clashes which are the immediate cause of the Italian-Ethiopian dis pute).
 If the Ethiopians avoid a pitch ed battle, if they stick to guerilla tactics in which they are skilled. if they remain unpanicked by gas and other unknown weapons, the conquering of the plateau may meen years of slow, consolidated effort at prohibitive cost in men and money, in the opinion of these foreigners.
 Others point to the meager Eth iopian equipment and ask what chance they have against tanks and airplanes.

 Meets His Father
 The suspect was brought face to face with his father, J. Andy Zen- ge, a retired dairy farmer of Can- ton, in the states attorneys office.
 The aged man, broken with grief, insisted for a half hour that the youth was not his son. Later, however, he broke down and admitted the suspects identity, according to Assistant States Att torney Charles Dougherty. The fa- ther accompanied by another son, Leighton, 24, arrived in Chicago last night from Missouri. Both said they believed Mande- vile to be alive and innocent of the brutal assault upon the professor, despite a suicide note signed Man deville" and left in taxicab al Navy Pier Wednesday night. Suicide Note Hoax

 Hong Kong. (UP) = Young China is etching a bold western pattern on the surface Of ancient eastern life, but 1t is only skin deep. The mode of life has chang ed little and the same poverty and disease of centuries ago remain as heritage.
 Woman remains in her bondage and old China takes slowly to the liberalism of the Occident. Still prevailing is the point of view which regards women as chattels and recognizes the right of a hus- band to sell his concubine, or a father his daughter. The mother also is given the right to atone for her failure to give birth to a son by taking her own life. Many young Chinese women are masquerading in western ideas. clothes and even amusing them- selves in adopting Western cus- toms and speech - idioms and slang but underneath, few of them are so fundamentally chang ed or so far removed from the old at home to be completely com fortable in the new.
 Still Bound By Family
 Even though she is allowed many of the liberties of the West, the little Eastern girl still must follow the traditional rule of duty to the men of her family. As a child she obeys her father; when she marries she gives up her own family forever and follows her husband; when he dies she fol- lows her son who has the right to command her in any way he sees fit, and she must observe the Four Womanly Virtues which are: 1. Obey your parents in law with submissive filial devotion.
 2. Respect your husband. 3. Foster harmony between the wives of your husbands brothers. 4. Instruct your children and grandchildren.
 There is less cause for the men to adopt Western ideas, especially as regards their women, and even the most modern of them still fail until she becomes the mother of son. When a Chinese father is asked how many children he has. he gives only the number of his boys. If he has no boys he re- plies that the gods have not fav- ored him yet in this respect. for he is without issue.
 And because girls are so despised and useless, small boys are often dressed as girls to deceive the gods and demons of disease and death. They wear silver collars and strings around their necks and ankles with charms and amulets attacked to them. There are dozens of such children in the streets of Hong Kong today. Sometimes they even have pad locks to flock them to life," thus frustrating, the Kwai, or evil spirits who may try to steal them away. Mirrors Used on Hats Mirrors are stitched into the fronts of baby hats so if demon comes near and confronts the child, he will see himself in tfie mirrors and be so mortified with his own ugliness he will flee in terror!
 These are only a few of the ancient customs still being ob- served in 1885 and which, to the less superficial observer, are re- latively sound proof.
