SLUMP STILL
HITS SCHOOLS
Many in Nation to Have
Short Terms Tor Lack

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP)
MANY children who hoped the
school building would burn down
so they couldn't attend classes
needn't utter that wish this year.
Depression-hit funds have closed
many schools early. according to
statistics tabulated by the Federal
office of education. More than
one-eighth of the eountry's school
children are in districts with IN
sufficient money to operate the
customary academic year, when
is usually eight or nine months.
Schools which serve 3,429,92O
pupils in % states were listed
in districts reporting insufficient
funds to operate the usual term
pnIess federal aid was received.
Some of these schools have decld-
ed to close early.
OF the 42,200 schools when
will have to cut their year an aV-
ersge of three months unless ad-
ditional money is received, 3Il53
are classified as rural schools; the
others rank as city or Indepen-
dent school districts.
at is rather difficult to define
what a closed school is, but it is
relatively easy 10 determine
whether or not a school has any
money with which to pay its
teachers. q,
In many cases, last year and

For the present school year.
SIT schools serving $1,000 pupils
reported they had no funds at all.
Double that school population
would equal the people in the
whole state of Nevada. Thus l.
745 teachers served as mission
aries except for some federal aid.
Educators estimated it would take

school districts up TO their usual
standard.

FAMED ALEXANDRIA
WAS ERECTED OVER
ALLUVIUM OF GOLD

united freSS StaIr correspondent
MADRID, April q (UP). -
The famed Alhambra of Granada
is built on an alluvium of gold,
Pablo Fabregas, president of the
mining council, said yesterday
when he returned from an eX-
ploratory tour of old Roman gold
fields in South Spain. Despite
excitement caused by the an
nouncement, Fabregas refused
further details.
The government plans eXpendi-
ture of 100,000,O00 pesetas ($13,-
660,000) for investigation Of the
nations mineral resources, a pro-
iect which will employ 10000
men. They will be divided into
squads and will explore for gold,
copper and lead.
The Romans exploited with
success gold deposits in several
provinces. Febregas said oil lamps
used by Roman miners were in a
perfect state of preservation in
mines near Granada, and that
the works were in exactly the
same state as when they were
abandoned on the flight of Ro-
man miners before invaders.
Fabregas said that there is
more than four billions tons of
gold bearing sand and gravel in
Spain, valued at five billion
pesetas.
''In Cabo &c Gaia zone in AL
meria province during the last
few years more than a ton of
gold quartz was extracted, smelt-
ed and sent to England because
our national bankers, on protext
the gold was mixed with parti-
cles of copper, refused to buy
it," he said.

DEMAND ITALY
SUBMIT ISSUE
TO THE LEAGUE
Abyssiinians, Still Defiant,
Send New Note Out
lining Position
By WALLACE CARROLL
In;,ed Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, April 2.-UP).-
Abvssinia defied Rome again yes
terdav and demanded immediate
submission of the Italo-Abyssinian
border dispute in East Africa to
the League of Nations.
The league made the note pun
lie last night. Steiner in tone, 1t
demanded that Italy halt all NH
tarv preparations during the arb
tration period. 1t limited Italy is
seeking a preteXt for aggression.
Italy has been adamant agains,
permitting Geneva to intervene IN
this dispute over border clashes
between Abyssinians and native
Italian troops in Italian Somali-
land, and Premier Benito Musso-
lini is not likely to back down.
The Abyssinian note says the
appointment of arbitrators must
not, unnecessarily delay a solution
Of the dispute, which has threat
ened to throw the two nations
into war. 1t adds:
"These delays must not be util-
lied (by italy, for continuation
of military preparations and des-
patch of troops and war munitions
as hitherto.
"Otherwise, once these prepare
tons are completed nothing would
be easier than to create incidents,
with the help of a press campaign,
to find a pretext for aggression"
The note suggests that Italian
and Abyssinian representatives
meet in Geneva, Paris or London
and appoint arbitrators to draft
an arbitration agreement and pre-
serve peace. If an agreement of
this nature cannot be concluded
within 80 days, the league council
would name the arbitrator.
Pending this proposed settle
ment by arbitration, Abyssinia
again may seek to place her ap-
peal before the league council
under Article Is of the covenant,
permitting members to ask for aid
, if threatened.
The Abyssinian note reviews
Italy's military preparations and
asserts the Italian press "has not
concaalcd tia fact the final aim
was 20 establish Italian domino
tier over the Ethiopian (Abyssin-
ian empire"
It denies the Italian allegation
that Abyssinia is making military
! preparations.

dergoing any hardships. She never
bemoaned the fact that we were 'un-
derprivileged.' She made work a
thrilling adventure and buoyed us up
with tales of what other poor boys

quenchable optimism that owe what

CHEERFULNESS is the one and only

bands affection and mailing him to
his own fireside. A woman ceases to
be a spellbinder when she becomes a
wilmer and complainer. Even. good

salted with tears. No man wants as
a wife a woman who looks as if she
were pinch hitting for the early Chris
tian martyrs.
Life is hard on men. All day they
are bullied and badgered and torn
with anxieties, and by night they feel
that they have had about all the grief
they can stand. They don't want to
hear the saga of anybody else's
troubles. They don't want to be re-
minded Of the depression. They don't
want to hear of everything that has
gone wrong in the home.
They want to be met at their front
doors by wife who wears the smile
that won't come off, wife who laughs
off misadventures instead of having
Mysteries over them, wife who has
read something funny in the papers
or heard a good joke, and when a
man finds wife like that, not all the
good lockers in the world can drag
him away from her. Probably half
the men who leave home do so in
search of cheerful companionship and
to get out of place that reeks with
gloom.
Moreover, cheerfulness is first aid
to popularity. Gay people attract us,
and we just gravitate toward them.
It is such a relief to get with some
one who isn't going to tell us tale
of woe and beat upon their breasts
while they bemoan their sorrows. We
have troubles of our own that are all
we can bear, and we shun those who
are going to add to them.
Women have always thought that
tears were their most effective weapon.
They are mistaken. It Is cheerful
ness. A woman with q laugh hung
on hair-trigger can always get whom
and what she wants.

RY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: Last Sunday
noticed several ladies of our
church kept on their gloves to re-
ceive communion. have always
thought this was very bad taste.
Answer-I can't answer with Ger
tainty about all churches, but in all
those about which I know, it is ex-
acted that gloves be removed. The
wafer is laid in the palm Of the bare
hand and is then lifted to the lips.
The chalice is held by the officiating
clergyman.
pear Mrs. Post: My sister is
adopting a very young baby and
would like to send out announce
ments. There are too many names
on her list for note writing and she
has very little money to spend. Can
you suggest way?"
Answer-Engraving is expensive.
Therefore, the best announcement at
less money would be a plain small
plate-marked white card, printed In
good looking type, saying:
Mr.. and Mrs. Nuhome
Have the happiness to announce
The adoption Of
Mary
Aged months.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband and
I would like to invite our family doc
tor and his wife to dine with us in a
hotel in order to express, in at least
a small way, our appreciation of his
many kindnesses to us over a period
of 10 years. We have never met his
wife and would like to proceed
properly.
Answer-Write a note to the wife
and tell her that as a tenth anniver-
sary. as it were. you and your hus-
band would like so much to meet
her and tell her as well as DR.. Jones
how deeply grateful you are for his
many kindnesses to your family. And
ask her II she and her husband will
dine with you and your husband on
such a day and hour and place.
Dear Mrs. Post: am giving a
tea for a friend who is moving far
away. At previous teas she has al
ways poured for me. since she Is very
expert at the tea table. Would 1t be
out of place for her to sit at the tea
table again?"
Answer-At this party in her honor
she should be left free to talk with
her friends. It is impossible to pour
at a big tea and pay more than fras-
mentary attention to anything else
at the same time.

Dorothy Dix Says
Tears Are Far From Being a Woman's
Best Weapon.
Best Weapon.

ONCE heard a small child ask his
mother why she never laughed
as Mrs. A. did, as a jolly peal of
mirth came from a neighboring
window. Before she could answer,
her husband exclaimed Il would give
a thousand dollars to hear your
mother laugh Ike that just once" to
which the woman replied by signing
and saying self -righteously that she
was not of the vulgar and noisy type.
The little episode made me wonder
why it is that among women cheer
fulness Is discredited virtue and one
they feel that they are under no obi
cations to practice in the home. Yet
it is the one thing that their families
crave of them above all others. the
one thing that would do more than
anything else to make them successes
as wives and mothers.
When a. conscientious woman tries
to do her sacred duty by her family,
she keeps her house clean and order
": she serves scientifically balanced
meals that contain the proper vita
minis; she looks after her husbands
and children's physical wants, but she
cnly too often overlooks their need TO
be popped up and she fails to realize
that they would rather she made good
Jokes than good pies.
EOR proof of this we have only to
l. observe the women among our
personal acquaintances. All OF us
know some ole woman who is a
slack housekeeper, whose windows are
never as clean as they might be,
whose meals are never on time, whose
children generally need patch or
a darn or to be washed behind the
ears. who wastes her husbands money,
but who is jolly and easy-going and
whose house always rings with laugh
ter. and invariably she is adored by
her husband and children and her
home Is the gathering place for all
the Youngsters in the neighborhood.

upon the material comfort in 1t. 1t
depends entirely upon the attitude OF
the woman at the head OF it. A gay
and lieht-hearted woman can make q
place of enchantment out of hovel.
A dismal, weepy woman can make a
palace an abode Of woe that gives
every one who crosses its threshold

an inspires her children to do their
best and keeps them on their tiptoes.

menu, per Sc. because while driv-
ing few people are inclined to stop,
unload all equipment, and really take
time out for a three-course meal!
The easiest thing to do would be
to make some sandwiches at break
fast time of bread, butter and bacon
and pack them in wax paper in a
small container with some fresh fruit,
cheese, crackers and a jar OF pickles.
This combination would. be suitable
to adults and older children, and for
the littlest mites the prepared baby
foods OF which I wrote recently could
be quickly heated and administered
direct from the tiny jars. Thus even
mother would get rest during the
day and not have to toll over hot
cookstove three times in the "a hours.
For details regarding the suggested
breakfast menu: The pineapple juice
should be Of the unsweetened. vacuum
packed variety and might be chilled,
if you have no ice. by being allowed
to stand in its tin in cool water OVER
night. The pancakes could be done
in the same frying pan that cooked
the bacon and eggs. and the coffee
would be easily made If the concen-
trated essence that is now on the
market in one-cup containers were
used.
The dinner menu seems little
more elaborate, but in reality is
simplicity itself. The bouillon may
be made from the wonderful new
