BACKGROUND SHADOWS

Easily discernible in the back ground of the discussion lay the shadow of the constitutional issue; but its outlines remained almost as nebulous afterward as they were be- fore the two speeches were delivered.
 MT Roosevelt talked of challeng- ing the methods of the old order" but he did not say what, if any, constitutional amendment he favor ed.
 MT Shell rejoined by protesting against any new order which would require that our federal constitution must be wholly rewritten
 The disparity in terms between these two utterances is obvious. Whether MT. Roosevelt's mind and MT. Shells mind met in a clear -cut constitutional issue remains a mys- tcry; certainly their words did not.
 Nor is there any real assurance that this issue will be more clearly defined before election day-that is, that the Democrats will say oi- rectly that they favor any consti- tutional change, or that the Repuh- licans will say directly they oppose all constitutional changes.
 Such issues have a way of getting tangled up in inconclusive language when the platform committees of political parties come into posses sion of them That easily might happen to this issue next year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Roar- ing lions that awaken him morn- ings, hyenas that prowl through the streets by night, and the calm. mo- notonous daily routine of life in Addis Ababa, are described by w. Perry George, American charge d. affaires in Ethiopia, in the Amer ican Foreign Service Journal
 Georges article, written before the Italo- Ethiopian crisis assumed it's present seriousness, pictures the Abbysisian capital as it was before throbbing war drums called the tribesmen to prepare against pos sible invasion by Mussolini's le- gions.
 "'tOne wakes of morning, George writes, to the roar, distant and muffled, of lions. They are at the imperial Gebbi (palace), some en- caged and others lettering about the stairways, and they want their breakfast. Then the lions have breakfasted and throughout the day the only sounds are the meaning less, carefree chatter and laughter cf the crowds that throng the streets, the plaiptiye squeal of the large brown hawks circling endless ly over the town, and the cawing of the crows.
 There is something undisturbea and eternal about this mythical land that denies the existence of other where and otherwise, and it seems to reside in the faith that has be- come tradition The beginnings oi Ethiopia are lost in the prehistoric nnists.
 "The error of the foreigner has been uncomprehending impatience. The Portuguese missions and the floods of Islam's hosts shattered their lances against the Ethiopian beliefs that are as firm and vigor- ous' today as they were when the Queen of Sheba trekked homeward from King Solomon's court, the God of Israel in her heart, and when Menelik, her son, bore home the ark of the covenant.
 tomorrow the routine of every d3y will be enacted. Caravans of cof- fee and hides will slowly wend their way for few hours over mountain trails Trade will be carried on in remote parts of the realm with salt bars as medium of exchange. Ecu daf chiefs will travel on mule back through the streets of the capital their srank and dignity attested by the numbers and equipment of the hen-a arms trotting alongside with their stubbed bucklers of rhinocer- ous hide, their spears, and their rifles. ss
 Great ladies, yelled to the eyes, and wearing large felt hats, will ride solemnly by, their mules sup ported by the hands of dozen re- tainers on foot Many priests will walk more miles, prayer staffs in their hand and the Psalms of David slung over their shoulders as a tourist would carry camera.
 And about it all there will be no sign of haste There will be no concern for market quotations, or for the news of the day or for the passage of time" NaM

 Both addresses were couched very largely in general terms with little specific mention of concrete gov- ernmental problems or individual legislative proposals.
 The one specific measure to which MT Shell devoted considerable space was the bill increasing the tax on wealth, which he condemned as de- signed to "confiscate property"
 The special points advanced by MT. Roosevelt were in relation to regulation of banking and industry, which he spoke of as necessary to save the economic structure.

SAVOLD| SHOWS
'DROP-K|CK'
TONIGHT

A wrestling speciality outlawed
in many points will be featured
locally tonight when "Jumpin'
Joe" Savoldi, former Notre Dame
footballer, cooperates with red
haired Jack Donovan in head
lining the inaugural wrestling
card of Promoter Joe Turner's
1885 open-air season at Griffith

of the mat, Sayoldi's celebrated
"drop-kick" will be brought into
play full force against the equal
ly potent and picturesque Irish

returns to Washington for the
first time since 1888.
$5O,OOO-a-Year Man
During this period the fiery
Italian has established himself
as one of the $5O,000-per-annum
Standouts of the wrestling trade,
establishing himself as great
card along the Pacific Coast and
through the Midwest.
Since gaining a disputed fall
over Jimmy LondoS, Savoldi has
ranked with the mats banner at
fractions. Only the disbarment of
the "drop-kick" he brings into
play tonight, Savoldi charges, en-
abled Londos to actually even the
score in a return meeting that
played to capacity in Chicago
several months later.
To Watch Donovan
While much of tonight's atten-
ton will be centered upon Savoldi
