 Harar, Ethiopia, Oct. 31.-CUP)- Colin Alexander Mackenzie and his wife, Mollie, British missionaries, decided to-day to return to their station at Asbat Afari, in Chercher province, despite consular advises of that region.
 Once back in Asbat Afari, they will be directly in the path of the Spearhead of the Italian advance if the Italians, now in Bale Province, southwest of here, attempt to reach Hawash, on the Addis Ababa- a-Dji- bout railway.
 Another British missionary, Miss Doris Benson, recently returned to Harar after spending two months as a refugee at Hargeisa, in British Somaliland. She at once went on Asbat Atari to collect possessions which she left there. Her plan is to return to Harar ito assist in the work at the Red Cross dressing sta- ton being established at the Swed- ish mission.
 The disorderly houses, which have been prospering because of the con- stant procession of troops through this city, suffered their first re- verses due to hostilities to-day when mounted policemen, followed by dusty, panting gun-bearers, ordered the owners to remove the red cross- es over their doorways, which local ly are traditional symbols of houses of easy virtue.
 They also ordered house operators to produce slackers who have been dodging war service by concealing themselves beneath the beds of tinseled damsels who, while cur- rency values have been dropping, have been profiteering along with all vendors of food and other neces- sites.
 If there is any truth in the re- ports of peace moves in Europe trickling into Harar, it is certain that no official confirmation has been received here. For the atmo- sphere in Harar grows daily more warlike.

Hebrew Institute
 Plans Ceremonies
Formal Induction of Newly Elected Officers Tonight;
 Rabbis Chief Speakers-Degree Team to Perform

Officers of the Waterbury Hebrew Institute for the year 1935-36 will be installed tonight at banquet to be held at the institute auditorium, the ceremonies beginning at 7:30 o'clock. The new slate of officers, headed by Samuel Million as presi- dent, will be inducted into office by Bernat Holczer and the degree team from Theodore Roosevelt Lodge, Knights of Pythias.
 The history of the institute goes back over several decades of Water bury history, with the present spa cious institute structure having been erected in 1916. The building houses the Waterbury Hebrew school and is the center of Jewish community activity.
 Rabbis to Speak
 Speakers at the banquet and in- stallation tonight will include Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf, Rabbi William P. Greenfield, and Rabbi Bert Stein. An entertainment program will also be a feature of the evening.
 The Roosevelt Lodge degree team, which will assist MT. Holzer in in- stalling the officers, has the follow ing members: Attorney Maurice Gruskay, William Schneer, Robert Kosersky, Joseph Reiner, and Louis Levine.
 The committees in charge of the installation and banquet have been working for several weeks on plans for the affair.
 Committees
 The women's committee, with Mrs. B. Schryer as chairman, has the fol- lowing members: Mrs. L. Goldman, Mrs. L. Ginsburg, Mrs. H. Levine,

ment officials stated today that such permission would be readily granted.
 City Supply Is Big
 This is due to the fact that the water supply of this city at the present time ranks about the high est in Connecticut despite the con- tinued dry spell. While the feeder reservoirs are down somewhat the Wigwam and East Mountain reser- voirs, which keep the mains of the city filled, are up to standard. The water of the Shepaug river has been pumped into the Morris reservoir, feeder reservoir for the Wigwanl. There is no fear of water shortage as far as the city is concerned.
 Plumbing Inspector James Walker stated today that he will have the precipitation figures for November complete after midnight tonight when the month ends. The month has been an exceedingly dry one, he pointed out, and promises to ex- ceed many dry records of the past. No rain of any material benefit has fallen in Waterbury since the first of September.

 Similar anxiety to anticipate the boycott has made the importation of Italian products unusually high, but the French import quotas and other restrictions have served to hold down incoming tonnage with the result that piles of materials for export are accommodating at static on the Italian side of the frontier.

rising abruptl.' from Q narrow ribbon of lowlands along the Red Sea coast. Tn these lowlands bor- dering the sea the climate is an inferno. The average temperature is 120 degrees in the shade in the l0Wlands, and seldom falls below 100 at night. Except at a few points like Massawa and Assab, which are important military concentration points, there are few white men along the Red Sea coast of Eritrea.
 Air Thin and Refreshing
 But within 25 miles Of Massawa the escarpment rises sharply to more than 1000 eet and you are in another world. The plateau greatly resembles Southern New Mexico or Western Texas in ap- peaTance and climate. The air is thin, refreshing and cool, even during the middle of the day when the sun is hot. Men can wear about the same kind of clothes as in America, but sun-helmets are advisable because the suns direct rays are dangerous. Within five minutes after the sun sets it be- gins to get cold. This is the chief danger to healt hon the highland. It is necessary to don additional clothing immediately after dark. Everyone wears light overcoats or sweaters. We sleep under two or three blankets. The other day slept in a tent at soldiers camp at Adj Ugri. With the best will, the officers were able to furnish only one blanket each to our par ty. I piled on top of the camp cot my oyercoat, the top of a canvas tent, rolled in with my clothes on and still slept little on account of the sharp cold. But within half hour after sunrise 1t was too hot to stand bareheaded in the sun.
 To newcomers the altitude at first is extremely trying. My ex- perience was fairly normal. Dur- ing the first days suffered from continual splitting headache and occasional nose-bleed. panted for breath and slow walk of even 100 yards completely exhausted me. My head buzzed and htere was feeling of the eyes popping out.
 Soldiers Soon Acclimated
 But within week I began to be accustomed to the altitude, al- though any exertion still causes painting and exhaustion. However, the Italian soldiers and workmen here rapidly become acclimated and feel little effect.
 Except in the valleys, part of the plateau is somewhat arid. The vegetation is thin, wiry grass, cac- tus, stunted thorn trees. The na- tiyes do cattle-raising on a small scale. The narrow valleys raise patches of dura, a form of millet, and the main subsistence of the blacks. The plant resembles corn and produces a head containing grain the size of a small shot Eome Indian corn is raised.
 As the plateau slopes toward the Ethiopian frontier the valleys broaden and the soil becomes as- tonishingly fertile. It is black loam like 1.-Two soil, of rich, red dish color. The Italian peasant soldiers are amazed by the fertil- 1ty. One told me at Adj Quala that he had raised a whole garden in 25 days, including peas, radishes, lettuce, turnips, etc.
 Children Herd Cattle
 The valley floors along the from tier southward of Asmara are car- peted with rich patches of dark green dura and corn. On the mountainsides are large herds of the broad-horned African cattle with large humps on the shoul- ders, and tall, rangy goats, tended

OAKMONT, Pa, June ALVIN
E. Kreuger. a young red-head from
Beloit, Wis, VINO never took a golf
lesson in his life and who has been
playing the game only three years,
held the role of pace-setter this
morning as the second round of the
national open golf championship got
under way.
Kreuger, who finished in near
twilight after the longest day of
play the National Open has ever
known, was the only player coming
into the second round with a score
better than 70. He came in with
a H.
Scattered behind and chasing him
were Americas greatest golfers,
whose names are heard in every
locker room and seen on every
sports page.
Expected to Slump
Naturally these ace players as
we'll as the thousands trooping in
in the Oakmont galleries were
counting on Kruger to do what the
unknown usually does-falter after
brilliant opening round. There
we're those, however, who argued,
seemingly proper. that no player
who can break Oakmont's mighty
par of 70 can base such a score on
luck alone. and that he is a definite
threat for the title now held by
DIN Dutra of California.
Dutra. by the way, faltered just
as Pittsburgh's golfing experts said
he would, because of the 300 traps
ready to catch the slightest devia-
ton from the middle of the fair
ways. and the treacherous greens,
faster than slate and just as hard
Closest on Krueger's heels was
Roland Mackenzie of Washington,
who was the only player of the
field OF more than $50 to equal par.
Former Winners Near Top
OF the players figured as real
title possibilities, Gene Sarazen, the
betting favorite, was closest to the
top. Gene missed par by three
strokes and his rs landed him in q
ten-way tie for tenth place. Names
given real consideration who were
between Sarazen and the top were
Horton Smith of Chicago, and jim
my Thomson of Long Beach, Cal
who had 73's and Ed Dudley OF
Philadelphia, who was the early
leader at "a.
One stroke back of Gene at 7e
we're Craig Wood of Deal. N. j.;
Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y.
and Sid Brews of Johannesburg
South Africa, the only real foreign
possibility.
Six former winners were in the
next bracket at n. They were John
ny Farrell, Johnny Goodman, Willie
Macfarlane. Walter Hagen, Billy
Burke and Dutra.
