Virginia now is considering a law to
prevent smoking by automobile
drivers
MANY motorists smoke and it Is
recognized that the distraction of
smoking, as well as the momentary
effect on the vision Of smoke and
possibly ash have bearing on driving
efficiency" Mr.. Campbell pointed out.
1t is not always the careless or mali
cious driver who causes accidents.
For the protection Of themselves and
others in modern heavy. high-speed
traffic, drivers should avoid even the
small distractions caused by lighting
and smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes
and the danger of even a momentary
interference with vision at critical
moment.
Fourteen per cent Of all blindness
today results from accidents and at
least Z per cent from transportation
accidents. Any factor which contrib
utes in any way to the making OF
accidents should be considered"
The Columbia Institute for the
Blind, which has its headquarters at
1908 H street, is headed by H. r. w.
Miles, president, who is himself a
blind man. The other officers, S. S.
Hufty, secretary, and E. N. Ellis.
treasurer, also are blind, and most OF
the Is directors are either blind or
partially blind.

endure the unjust war that has been
imposed upon them for as long as
may be necessary to defend their age
long inheritance.
They will not give way to force
despite the superiority of the imple-
ments of war and massacre accumu-
lated against them by a merciless
enemy.
They are conscious of defending
not only their existence but the
sacred cause of the independence of
all small states which, If this unjust
aggression should triumph. would one
day be as exposed as Ethiopia is to-
day to becoming the prey of power
full and INSCRIPTIONS aggreSsor.
Ethiopia asks the League of Ma
tons to declare that treaties must
be respected. that the pledged word
must be kept, that wars of agrees
sion be outlawed. that force must
give way to justice"
Report Adopted.
The League of Nations Council
Committee of Thirteen earlier had
adopted report on the Italo- Ethi-
opian warfare for immediate submis-
sion to the Council, committee men,
Der asserting it inferred that Italy
clearly is in the wrong"
The committee decided 70 ask
Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy and DR..
Tecla Hawariate of Ethiopia to appear
before the public session Of the Coun-
Gil this afternoon and present their
final arguments
After adopting the committees re-
port and listening to both sides, the
Council will consider the question of
designating the aggressor in the Italo-
Ethiopian warfare.
The League thus would leave its
basis Of Article is of the League Cove
nant, on which it had been working
heretofore, and would proceed toward
decision based on Article -6-the
punitive article.
Present plans called for a resolution
by the Council, appealing to both
Italy and Ethiopia to cease hostilltles
Immediately.
The idea was that only when fight
ing had stopped could there be any
question Of new peace negotiations.
The committee member who dis
closed the tenor of the report stressed
there was nothing in 1t specifically
designating Italy as the aggressor. It
is for the Council itself to name the
aggressor, officials pointed out.
He summarized the report thus:
ANY one reading the report will
get the impression from the form OF
the record that Italy clearly is in the
wrong, for one thing, because she has
never appealed to the League for
settlement of the dispute, whereas
Ethiopia has"
An Italian communication to the
League denied that Fascist airplanes
had dropped bombs on a Red Cross
hospital at Aduwa. There is no such
hospital, said the note.
The day opened dramatically. Re-
ports were current that Premier Mus
Solini was maneuvering for a peace
talk with England and France, that
his armies had wiped out the stain
Of the Italian defeat at Aduwa in
1895.

Belief Spreads That She
Will Not Desert Italy for
British Viewpoint.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, October 5.-A belief that
France would not desert Italy for
British conceptions Of League justice
in the Italo-Ethiopian conflict per-
meated government circles today.
The controlled press printed in bold
type reports of numerous demonstra-
lions in France by veterans and others
favoring Italy.
These demonstrations were the the
signal for counter demonstrations be-
fore the French Embassy in Rome to
display Fascist appreciation for blood
ties binding the two races"
The fact that Charles Pineton de
Chambrun, French Ambassador to
Rome, did not appear on the en-
bassy balcony. as had been hoped,
was discounted here as evidence OF his
diplomatic reluctance to commit his
government by any spontaneous DEM
onStration.
Fascists took additional comfort
from the fact that Premier Laval mad
been given full support by the Frenc,,
cabinet in acting on developments at
Geneva.
Laval was one of the principal par
ties to the Franco-Italian rapproche.
ment during the tripratite conference
at Stresa. This had been supposed tt
produce solidarity among France, Italy
and Great Britain on Western Euro
pean problems.
The French premier emerged from
that conference as personal FRIEND
of Premier Mussolini.
Fascist Black Shirts throughout
Rome meanwhile awaited impatiently
news of the fall of Aduwa.

have very defective vision Mr.. Camp
bell said. I'm either case it Is oniv
common courtesy to yield the right Of
way to such persons. The twelfth point
of The Star Safe-driving pledge is To
be courteous and considerate of others.
1t should be the cardinal point fer
observance by every motorist."
Mr.. Campbell said that with the
cooperation of the District Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles and Traffic,
the American Automobile Association
and the Lions Club, the Columbia
Polytechnic Institute is seeking to
have written into the District traffic
code a regulation making it COM
pulsory for motor vehicles to stop
and yield the right of way to any
person carrying white cane and at
the same time making it illegal for
any person who is not blind to carry
white cane.
Van Duzer Favors Law.
William A. Van Duzer, director OF
traffic, said that the regulation now
is being considered and that he can
see no objection to its enactment.
The Columbia Polytechnic Institute
for the Blind now has 531 blind per-
sons on its records, and Mr.. Camp
bell said that he believes there are
about 700 persons in the District who
are either totally blind or nearly blind.
There is one blind person to every
300 to 1000 Of population" Mr..
Campbell pointed out There are
many persons with very defective
vision who do not appear on the rec
ords. Many of them conceal their
defects even from their families

There is dealer in glass eyes In
Washington who must have at least
100 customers who are not on our
records In virtually every instance
where a person has lost one eye the
other is overstrained and also i'm
periled. In any event, the one-eyed
man is handicapped in swift-moving
traffic"
Also Aids Detectives.
Columbia is not established wholly
for the care Of the blind, but also for
the assistance Of those Of defective
vision and for preventive work. Or
gained in 1897, the institute was in
corporated in 1900 under a 5O-year
District charter. A bill now is pend
ing in Congress to provide for per-
petual Federal charter.
The institute maintains class rooms
and workshop. Vocational training
Is given and the blind may use the
workshop facilities for producing ar
ticles to sell for their partial support.
Home teachers and family visiting
service" also are provided. The eld-
erly and shut-in blind are given COM
partnership and training in their own
homes in the reading of Braille and
the use Of their hands.
The institute maintains a truck to
collect and deliver chairs for recaning
by the blind and for other services.
Three volunteers are available for
transporting the blind and the Junior
League of Washington and the Motor
Corps of the District Chapter of the
American Red Cross also cooperate
regularly in providing necessary trans
portation.
Mr.. Campbell expressed the belief
that eventually State and municipal
traffic officials will be forced to recog-
nize and deal with the problem of
smoking by drivers of motor vehicles.

centrated many thousands of warriors.
The Italians sent planes over Bessie
and dropped bombs, which were re-
ported to have missed their mark.
The Southern Front.
1t was along the southern front,
however, that Italy appeared to be
most seriously menacing the railroad
and the capital itself.
The fighting here has been in Oga-
den Province. which stretches along
the border of Italian Somaliland.
One report was that 1000 Ethio-
plans had been killed and many
wounded at Harar, which is about 70
miles south of the railroad line, and
about 100 miles in from British
Somalilaud The report. however, was

In Ogaden Province the Southern

hardly be more than 200 men, Ethio-
plans and Italians
The General Movement.
The Italian campaign plan appeared
to be in the nature of huge pincer
movement, with one side of the pincer
pushing from the north-Aduwa,

the other side pushing from the
south along virtually the entire Italian
Somaliland- Ogaden Province line.
The entire western border and
much of the southern area is free
from menace, the territory being
largely British controlled.

RED CROSS GIVES
|. PREVENTION PLAN
Grayson Pledges Fight on
Appalling Accident Toll
in Nation.

The new first aid and accident
prevention program to be carried out
on a national scale by the American
Red Cross was outlined last night over
National Broadcasting Co. network
by Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
chairman of the Red Cross, and DR..
Robert H. Kennedy, surgical director
of the Beekman Street Hospital In
New York City.
Admiral Grayson said that with
compelling frankness the appalling
number of lives being taken each year
as a result of accidents is being
brought to the attention of the public
by the newspapers, magazines and
the radio.
THE public conscience is aroused
and rightly"
The speaker pledged the Red Cross
to national fight against careless
ness, unpreparedness and lack of in
terest that the average citizen until
this time has obviously displayed"
DR.. Kennedy cited figures to show
there were approximately $4,000 deaths
from accident last year, and $500, 600
persons suffered disabling injuries"
The majority cause of accidental
death Is the automobile" DR.. Kennedy
said.
ANY plan which offers the posi-
bility Of decreasing this steadily ris-
ing death toll deserves the earnest
consideration of every one of us. The
American Red Cross has launched
such program with a new point of
view. 1t plans the institution of first
aid stations at frequent intervals along
the highways to save lives and pre-
vent permanent disabilities"
Prior to mis- radio address Admiral
Grayson was presented with the Grand
Cross of the Order of Honor and
Merit by the Cuban Red Cross in
recognition of his interest in inter-
national humanitarian Affairs.

opian commander in the area) and
of Gen. De Bono (the Italian leader ,
resulting in the capture by the Eth
opians of one Italian captain. three
Eritrean officers, two machine guns
and 10 rifles.
mo Ethiopian officers were killed,
but considerable casualties were re-
ported among the soldiers on both
sides"
Internal communications were i'm
proved by resumption of service by

two days
The Italian forces were making a
heavy use of airplanes. 1t was re-
ported without confirmation that nine
Italian planes last night passed over
Ahafatchi. a village not shown on
maps, As miles west of Adds Ababa.
The unconfirmed report stated they
intended to bomb the capital but lost
their way and returned to their base.
The Italians were reported to have
attempted to bomb Makale, 100 miles
southeast Of Aduwa on the northern
front, but their craftsmanship was
poor and their missiles dropped into
forest, setting it afire.
simultaneously unconfirmed reports
reached the capital that 1000 Eth
opian casualties were suffered in fight
ing on the southern Ogaden front,
facing italian Somaliland.
"a Reuters News Agency dispatch
said the Italians bombed bessie, an
Ethiopian troop concentration point
$50 miles southwest of Mount MuSsa
Ali. 1t reported TOO Italians were
said unofficially to have been killed in
an all-night battle in the Danakil
country, with Ethiopians losing 5000
In accordance with their pre-
arranged plan, the Ethiopians appar-
emily intended to allow the Italians to
advance virtually unopposed up to q
certain well-deflned line deep within
the northern boundaries. Then the
defenders would release fusillades OF
rifle, machine-gun and artillery fire
from their mountain perches.
The governemnt announced that,
contrary to reports that Ras Seyoum' S
forces suffered a major reverse, they
had not yet participated in the fight
ing at Aduwa.
Cornelius Van H. Engert, American
charge d'affaires at Adds Ababa, pre-
sented large American flag to the
proprietor of the hotel where the ma
jority of American journalists and
cameramen are living, hoping the
Stars and Stripes flying from the roof
would be sufficient to dissuade Italians
from an air attack.
1t was believed generally that while
the Italian Minister, Luigi Vinci-
Gigliucci, and Italian consular au-
thorities remained in the country the
Fascist flyers would refrain from
bombings which might conceivably
lead to reprisals against Italians here.
Ethiopian government officials ex-
pressed belief II Duce might attempt
to keep his Minister and other Italians
here as long as possible, hoping for
some incident to occur which might
constitute real casus belli.
The Emperor's advisers studied the
situation closely, realizing that If this
government requested Vinci to leave,
Italy could consider the act a rup-
ture OF diplomatic relations and q
virtual declaration of war.

Finnan said he is asking the au-

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS,
ETHIOPIAN ARMIES IN THE
FIELD, via Harar, October 5.-As war
flares in the northern provinces, no
one in this armed nerve center OF
Ethiopian strategy cares to predict
anything as to the nature OF the con-
dict between Ethiopia and Italy.
Though all Ethiopian officials are
bending every agency to provisioning
and arming troops and there is a sur
prising amount of arms and equip
ment pouring through Jijiga. to the
south, for the Somaliland armies, the
general attitude seems one of blind
ignorance to such operations. 1t Is
the same to the west, where, from
Diredawa, supplies begin the tortuous
road to the north.
Watching the peasant infantry
stream through the towns. their wives
pleading to go along, their command
ers straight-faced and grim with the
awareness taught them in the Swed-
ish and Belgian schools at Adds
Ababa, an observer knows, regardless
of wild-goose opinions, that these
people will resort to guerilla fighting
early-heedless of tactics, command
ers and arms.
One should not like to be among
the Italian invaders, even though
served with the best weapons which
q civilization devoted to such instru-
mentS can provide.
The Ethiopians are pressing for
ward to a conflict which, from their
notions, seems to be one with late
eighteenth century weapons Ger
tainly, the French inside Blenheim-
IN so far as the peasant goes-were
hardly less well equipped to meet
