temblors diminished from their cen. ter, their severity became ragged, hitting hard ct one spot and so slight ct another that only instru- ments could feel them.
 Scientific explanations were not in complete agreement. Some seismol- ogists felt the quakes were part of the gradual shrinking and consol- idating of the earth's crust, while others attributed them to 0 collapse of e huge rock ledge on the Atlantic ocean floor several hundred miles of hte New England coast.

 Geneva, Nov. i.--(UP)-France and Great Britain will proclaim to the world tomorrow that any settlement of the 1talian-E Ethiopian war must be within the League of Nations framework, not by negotia- ton among the great powers, 1t was understood to-day.
 The declarations are expected to coincide with announcement Of the date for imposing on economic boy colt on Italy and denying 1t select- ed key products.
 News of the intended French-4ri- tish declaration came as league leaders despaired of an early ap- proach to peace negotiations and set themselves firmly toward penalizing Italy swiftly and drastically.
 They mean to force Premier Be- nito Mussolini to make what they call just terms of peace.
 Study Final Steps
 Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secretary; Anthony Eden, British minister for league affairs, and Premier Pierer Laval of France conferred to-day as committees studied the final preliminary steps toward effecting the economic boy colt.
 1t was said officially that they confirmed in substantial degree the French British agreement to coop crate.
 As Q result it is understood that Hoare will make Q statement to- morrow and Laval will follow It up with one of his own. They will explain the recent diplomatic negotiations 1t was said, and emphasize that no basis has been produced for peace talks.
 They will emphasize then. 1t was said, that any settlement must now come through the league even if great powers do succeed by talks in providing basis.
 What Britain Wants
 As the result of a talk between R. 0. s. Stevenson of the British delegation and Renato. assistant secretary general of the Italian delegation, the Italian delegation gained the impression that Britain would regard as just a settlement by which:
 l-There would be small rectifi- cation of the Tigre frontier in Ethiopia and Aduwa would be ceded to Italy.
 2-The Ogaden and Danakil bor- ders would be rectified in Italy's favor.
 3. Ethiopia would be placed un- der Q regime by which the League of Nations would assist it. (, Ethiopian territory south Of she 9th nafnllel ok latitude inCluds inH 1l,nzAa would he put under cone

Married Teacher
Ban Dropped by
Education Board
Action Recalls Suit and
Reinstatement of Mrs.
Eua T. Honesty.

Marital status hereafter will not
affect the standing of teachers in the
public schools of the District.
On the recommendation of its Per-
sonnel Committee the Board of Edu-
cation yesterday rescinded a rule
adopted July /, 1888, making married
teachers whose husbands or wives are
employed by the Government ineligible
for appointment.
The rule was adopted then because
of a provision Of the national economy
act. At the time is was upheld by
William w. Bride, then corporation
counsel, in answer to an inquiry from
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah.
chairman of the District Committee.
Mrs. Eva r. Honesty, who was No.
1 on the eligible list for teachers of
biology in the colored high schools,
was passed over because of the rule,
and through her attorney filed writ
of mandamus on the Board of Edu-
cation to secure her appointment.
AS a result of the court action, the
corporation counsel declined to de-
fend the action, pointing out that the
Civil Service Commission on May IL,
1884, had ruled that the provision of
the economy act did not apply to en-
ployes of the District of Columbia.
Mrs Honesty consequently was au-
tomatically reinstated, along with
several other teachers who had been
passed over because of the rule.
The change was made upon recon-
mendation Of DR.. j. Hayden johnson,
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle and George
M. Whitwell, members Of the Per-
Sonnel Committee.

from $4,000. 900 to 100000.
Sale Of the District Building to the

Most economic authorities expect a
good Autumn. The activity in ma
chine tools and in residential con-
struction is what Is encouraging them.
Home Building Active.
Residential construction is still on,
but increasingly active in every sec
tion Of the country. For instance, it
was about BAT per cent in June. as
compared with % last year. 81 in 1929
and 1875 in 1927 Cthe peak.
The administration is going to play
up this phase Of activity shortly. A
stimulating ballyhoo will be made out
Of 1t. That is why Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau recently brought
down his friend Peter Grimm. New
York real estate expert, to coordinate
the various New Deal housing units.
The important hidden question
behind the new bank bill is: Who
is President Roosevelt going to ap-
point to the netD Federal Reserue
Board? No one has an inkline. 1t
is q certainty that there tDil be at
least three 7letD members. As there
are no restrictions on the President,
the identity OF the men means far
more than the ne,D bank bill itself.
He could appoint Senator Thomas
or J. p. Morgan and giue the bill
one meaning or the opposite one.

form. We decided we would empha-

There probably isn't any amusement
in this country accompanied by 50

Favor Semi-Oval Tent.
The trio began with q new form OF
tent, built in semi-oval. to replace
the present oval type. Behind the
performers would be settings which
could be changed to suit the various
acts. Comfortable seats would replace
hard board benches; tents would be
air conditioned: there would be double
revolving stages, and every item would
be worked out according TO modern
scientinc methods.
