Q. Why does metal furniture feel
colder than wooden furniture?-
c. R. B.
A Metal furniture and wooden fur
niture attain the temperature of the
room Metal furniture feels colder to
the touch because metal is good con-
ductor Of heat, whereas wood is a
poor conductor. When you touch an
object with your fiBger you supply
some of the heat Of your body to the
object through your finger II the
object is a good conductor the heat
passes through it quickly and you get
an impression Of cold in your finger.
On the other hand, if the object Is a
poor conductor Of heat, 1t feels warm
for the same reason.

 Meanwhile, the British fleet is still concentrated in the Mediterranean and Italy planes Great Britain for the leagues action in voting sanc- tions against the Fascist state.
 Thus, 8 war hazard exists con- Stantly in that situation, just as it did in 1898 in Cuba when the battle ship Main was anchored in Havana harbor.
 Fervor of Italians
 I was in Rome when Premier Mussolini announced from his bal- cony on the Palazzo Venezia that the Ethiopian advance was about to start despite the opposition of the league. Therefore, I have a keen appreciation of the fervor and impetuosity of the Italians.

 In l775, when war with Eng land seemed unavoidable, the Continental Congress elected him Commander-in- Chief of the Ann erican armed forces. His services and his military genius are among the chief glories of our history.
 When independence had been won he resigned his commission. hoping to devote his life to his personal affairs. The young ma. ton, however, had need for his leadership and in 1787 made him president of the Constitutional Convention. Two years later. despite personal reluctance, he became the first President of the United States.
 After two terms in that office he retired to Mt Vernon, but lived only two years in its enjoy ment. He was buried at Mt Yer non, where his home, his grave. his many memorials have become sacred shrines for succeeding generations.

 Almost 40 years ago." he said, "the United States took over the sovereignty of the Philippine 1s- lands. The acceptance of sovereign ity was but an obligation to serve the people of the Philippines until the day they might themselves be independent and take their own place among the nations of the world.
 we are here to welcome the commonwealth. I consider it one of the happiest events of my office as President of the United States, to have signed in the name of the United States the instrument which will give national freedom to the Philippine people.

 That both nations kept to the policy leading to this most happy result is due to the fact that both nations have the deepest respect for the inalienable rights of man. Those rights were specifically cham pioned more than a century and half ago in our own declaration of independence. Those same rights are hcampioned in the new con- struction of the Philippines com- monwealth.
 There can be no true national life tither within 8 nation itself or between that nation and other nations unless there be the specific acknowledgement, of, and the sup- port of organic law to. the rights of man. Supreme among those rights we, and now the Philippine commonwealth, hold to be the rights of freedom of education and freedom of religious worship"

Town Officials to Take Action If Contest Starts
 Without Sanction

New Haven, Dec. 10-After con- Sidering reports that the scheduled Savin Rock "walkathon" will be opened within several days, regard less of the fact that no license has been granted by the board of se- lectmen, Chief of Police Harry W. Futile conferred last night with Prosecutor William T. Hollerar.
 Prompt action by town authori- ties, it was indicated, will follow any attempt to start the contest without proper sanction.
 Meanwhile, First Select tm a n Charles F. Schall,w ho introduced a motion favoring the granting of the permit at Friday nights meet ing of the board of Selectmen, is- sued 8 new statement clarifying his views in the matter, which re- mained unsettled when Second Se- lectman James w. Gilbert and Third Selectman George w. Char man failed to second the motion that the permit be granted.
 Discussing the protests made by GIlG WcSb 11dNCLA ' CdCA doAOA OA Churches and other organizations, he said: "The effects of the non- licensing of the proposed mara thon at Savin Rock have already been felt in the Selectmen's office and in the welfare department. Several residents were promised jobs in connection with the event, and on the strength of that aSsur- ance obtained credit with town grocers, and are now forced to apply for direct relief, adding to the towns relief burden.
 T cordially invite any member of the church organizations which protested against the marathon to occupy a special seat in the wei fare depjartment for the next few days, where he or she will be able to realize why I was willing to sidetrack the moral issue, so as to provide employment for approxi- mately 40 people, who will other wise be supported by the town, through its welfare department, for the balance of the winter"

 Both the chamber of deputies and senate were in session today, con- vening at 3 p. m. @ a. m. EST). It was planned, if the time for 8 state ment was considered to have arrived, that Mussolini should make state ment in parliament, most likely be- fore the chamber.
 But the F'rench-British proposal had not been made formally this morning. It is known to Mussolini. That it was not submitted to him in formal shape immediately after its approval by Premier Pierre Laval and Sir Samuel Hoare, British for eign secretary, at Paris Sunday night was because approval of the British cabinet was necessary.
 Will Get It Today
 Hence it was assumed that the offer might be before Mussolini in final form some time this afternoon or tonight.
 Italian spokesmen maintained strict reserve regarding the offer until its formal, submission in 8 manner that would permit of no re- ceSSion.

 Searching over the list of enemies whom Liggett admittedly created through his pointed publications, police found 8 huge array of per- sons ranging from several in high offices to underworld characters. All had felt the sting of Liggett's at- tackS.

 Olson, with whom Liggett once was allied, never has recognized the charges. He has taken the position that they were too absurd to dignify by commenting upon them.

 London, December 10 - (UP) - Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin called special cabinet session to- day to discuss contingencies that might arise from the new French British proposal for settlement of the Italian Ethiopian crisis.
 The cabinet was believed to have discussed procedure to be adopted in event both Italy and Ethiopia either accepted or rejected the pro- posals, or in event one accepted and the other rejected.
 It was known that there was sharp criticism of the proposal, as unjust to Ethiopia, in yesterdays cabinet meeting when the proposal was ac- cepted, and it was reported that unfavorable reaction in an import ant section of the press also im- pressed government circles.
 Maurice Peterson, Ethiopian ex- pert of the foreign office, who went to Paris to work out the foundation for the peace proposal, attended the cabinet meeting.
 Anger Over Betrayal
 Anger reflected in many quarters over the alleged betrayal of the league and Ethiopia by the agree ment was rivaled by hope that the new proposal might end the gravest European crisis since the world war.
 That there was anger over the peace plan worked out by Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, and Pre- mier Pierre Laval of France was plain. The offer was understood to be unpopular even among some members of the cabinet which ap- proved it. Opposition elements in parliament are expected to demand an explanation in commons today or tomorrow.
 There were reports that Anthony Eden, minister for league affairs. who has been foremost in seeking a solution of the crisis which would defend Ethiopia's interests and strengthen the league considered re- signing because of the proposal. These reports. however. were de- ciared authoritatively to be untrue.
