Italians Retreat
For First Time In
African Conquest
England And France Continue To
Seek Terms OF Peace That
Are Acceptable

After bloody battle in Ethiopian
territory, Italians were forced to
admit defeat Tuesday and retreat.
This is the first time the superior
Italian army has met with any real
opposition and it had the effect of
making Italians "back home more
determined than ever to 'show
them. Faith Day has been set aside
when Italian women will give their
wedding rings to the. government
to be used in the fight against the
oil and ammunition embargoeS that
have been declared against Italy to
help force her to discontinue the
war. The Queen of Italy has offered
to turn her royal rings over to the
government.
In Tuesdays battle a force of
5000 Ethiopian warriors attacked
an advance Italian post on the TAX
kaze river. Four Italian officers
were killed and three wounded,
nine Italian soldiers were killed and
several dozen Eritrean allies of
Italy were killed and wounded.
Ethiopian losses were said to be
considerable.
England and France are continu-
ing in their efforts to establish
peace between the warning coun-
tries and had hoped to do so by
Christmas, but all hopes of that
have vanished since Mussolini has
made more demands that are in
clr.led in the proposed plan. Hope
is still strong, however, to reach an
agreement and all three powers are
comforting daily through ambassa-
doris.

Consumers Not Subject
J. ToPotato Control Fines
Housewives And Other
Purchasers Not
Affected
MANY EXEMPTIONS

.ExempttiiOn of consumers who buy
their potatoes in regular retail es-
adjustments from the penalties for
violation of the potato control act
was announced Saturday by the
AAA.
Previously it had been believed
that not only the first purchaser of
unstamped, potatoes but the con-
sumner to whom they might be re-
sold later would be liable to fine
which might be as high as $1,000.
The potato law, which became eff
fective December l, provide for a
tax of 3-4of cent per pound on all
potatoes harvested after that date
and sold in excess of national tax
exempt allotment. The tax exempt
allotment has been set at 326, 900, 900
bushels.
Potatoes which are sold must be
packaged and the package must
bear either a tax exempt stamp is
sued by the AAA to growers, or a
tax paid stamp sold by the bureau
of internal revenue.
J. B. Hutson, director of the AAA
potato provisions said the majority
of the retail sales of potatoes did
not come within the scope of the
potato act.
'The penalty provision is so far
as any consumer is concerned"
Hutson said, "applies only to per-
sons who knowingly violate the act
by purchasing potatoes which were
not taxed at the time of their first
sale. This means that buyer would
not violate the act unless he pur-
chased potatoes direct from the
: grower, while knowing that the
grower had not complied with the
raep,;s ements eff theFact with Fegafdi
to packaging and stamping.
First Sale Only Affected
The act says the f1rSt sale OF po-
tatoes harvested and sold on or AFT
ter December /, 1885, shall be in
closed containers bearing tax ex-
empt or tax paid stamps. The first
sale means only the initial sale by
the producer.
1.-THE potatoes sold by retailers do
not represent the first sale unless
the retailer is also the grower OF
the potatoes he is selling. Consurn-
.ers buying potatoes from retailers
need have no concern if the pota-
toes are not inclosed and stamped
containers. The potatoes need be in
such stamped containers only at the
time of the first sale.
Housewives and other purchas-
ers of potatoes for consumption will
continue to buy their potatoes in
the customary way, unaffected di-
rectly by the law"

PROPER TRAINING HELPS

How the emotion Of fear is de-
veloped in man, MS reactions to it
and the attempts of religion and
psychiatry to abolish fear in the
human race are discussed by Dr..
NJ. A. Tarumianz, superintendent of
the Delaware State Hospital, in the
leading article in the current issue
of the Delaware State Medical
Journal He declares that fears
from which all individuals suffer.
some constantly and others at in
tervals, have, in the majority of
cases, their foundations in infancy
or early childhood" and shows how
parents often by stressing the con-
cept Of failure and fear rather than
that of success and satisfaction
produce psychic fear that hamp-
ers success in later life The fear
of public opinion, the fear of loss of
position or fortune are discussed as
vital social problems of special
current Importance. DR.. Tarumi-
anz concludes that proper and in
telligent training early in life can
do much to prevent or alleviate
such fears, a task which is difficult
after adulthood has been reached Z"
