Italy Assails Abyssinia
Duluth Herald)

It Is strongly probable that Great
Britain and France have conceded to
italy . free hand in Abyssinia, called
Ethiopia by her people. They con-
cede to her right Of way In Abyssinia,
q name imposed by the Arabs and
later Latinized by the Portuguese
They are willing that Mussolini
shall expand Italy's African empire
by adding TO It the $4,000 square
miles within Abyssinia's borders. In
size Abyssinia compares with Mime
sofa as three to one. Italy Is to en-
Joy q protectorate over Abyssinia,
provided she Is able to win military
mastery.
II It happens. as Is possible. that
Italy shall be held back by the gall
liant colored people she confronts,
there will be little sorrowing about
that In London or Paris. The British
feel that II Italy Is enmeshed further
in Africa she will be docile minority
partner to her In the Mediterranean.
The French consider that such an
involvement will make Italy think
less Of Tunis, Corsica, and Nice.
In 1895 Italy lost an important
battle ct Adowa to Abyssinia and that
country saved her independence. It
Is evident that italy seeks revenge
and that she has not yet abandoned
her design 70 put that part OF Africa
along With Tripou and Eritrea under
the italian flag. The Abyssianians
are about to battle for liberty. They
may make Mussoliui regret his adj
venture.

THE BUILDING BUSINESS

Metabolism Is the sum Of chemical
changes by which material Is assimi.
lated and used In the growth and
life Of plants or animals. The build
ing up or constructive part Of meta
bolism or nutrition Is called anabol-
ism; the tearing down or destructive
part Is called catholicism.
Terms more familiar to the laymau
are atrophy and hypertrophy. mean
ing lack Of growth or wasting and
overgrowth or enlargement respec-
lively. These are Of course faults Of
metabolism, disorders Of nutrition.
The normal, perfect or ideal state Of
nutrition Is called eutrophy. Any i'm
perfection or fault Of nutrition Is
called dystrophy.

Trying Wrong Cure

Delaware legislators are reported
on the verge Of passing q bill which
would prohibit public attendance at
the floggings Of criminals.
The legislators say that the state
has received unfavorable publicity
lately because too much attention has
been focused on the whippings which
are provided by the states criminal
code.
Five youths recently were given
from 10 to 20 lashes apiece in below
freezing weather. and the general re-
action has been unfavorable.
The unfavorable reaction Is easy to
understand. but the remedy seems a
trifle mixed. The theory hack of y
punishment like flogging is that 1t
will have q deterrent effect. Conse-
quently, one would suppose. the more
publicity the flogging received, the
greater its effect would be.

Even Criminals Have Limits

One Of the most significant pass
ages in the story telling how Bruno
Hauptmann was transferred to the
death house In the New Jersey state
prison was the paragraph describing
the attitude Of the other convicts In
that prison upon his arrival.
Hauptmann was led through the
mess hall as some 600 prisoners were
at breakfast. Instantly they stood up
to look at him, and . chorus Of boos
and catcalls resounded through the
hall.
There could not be more striking
evidence Of the horror universally In.
spired by the crime Of which Haupt-
mann has been convicted. Convicts
tn q state prison are not exactly sen
sitive about such things.
But the kidnapping and murder Of
the Lindbergh baby was . thing which
outraged even their sensibilities. It
went beyond the limit, even for the
states most desperate criminals.

Fewer Deaths Under Stress


One Of the oldest things about the
depression Is the fact that the death
rate has been falling. When people
arc going hungry and are unable to
pay for medical care, you would ex-
pect more Of them to die; on the con-
trary, In such a representative state
as New York, the death rate has
dropped from 1874 per 1000 inhabit-
ants In 1929 to Ill in 1894.
The chief explanation, according to
D. j. v. de Porte Of the New York
state health department is fairly
simple. It Is. he says, the fact that
state and federal governments have
assumed ever greater responsibility
for maintaining OF life among the
millions OF unemployed and their
families"
A sharp commentary on American
society, when you stop to think of it
the fact that so many people get bet
ter attention when they are broke
than they do when they are self-sup-
porting.

Roosevelt sides with the first

which CWA gave to business and In

Chief departures from former

JOHNSON WON'T BE BACK
After General johnson went away
from MIRA, there were frequent. re-
ports that sooner or later he would be
brought back into the administration.
A rumor that he would be utilized In
big new federal construction pro-
gram died hard.
But the generals magazine arti-
cles have ended those rumors and
have left no doubt that he viii con-
tinue to stand on the outside look
ing in.
Most memories Of the way import
ant things happened while johnson
was head Of the MIRA are so diver
gent from the generals account that
in private he Is often accused Of q
great mass Of half-truths and mis-
representations.
His slurs at Donald Richberg,

istration figures-as well Is policies

TRENTON, N. j., August l7.-Six
months of life in the State Prison
death house have been far from un-
eventful for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann.
From his cell, six PAGES from the
death chamber. he has helped direct
his fight for life and at the same
time has seen four others walk to the
electric chair.
He has been referee in his attor-
ney's verbal wars, studied his defense
to many civil suits, begun an intensive
study of the Bible and written book.
Sometimes he is sullen and sad. His
wife, Anna, who never misses one of
her allotted two visits a month, once
said she found tears trickling down
his face.
Sometimes he makes the death
house ring with laughter. He did
when his wife showed him a picture
of their son, Mannfried, in girls
dress and when she described his ex-
ploitS in upsetting coffee pot and
turning on all faucets in the bath
room, flooding it.
Visited by Minister.
Sometimes he is deeply religious.
His spiritual adviser, Rev. D. G. Wer-
ner of New York City, visits him
weekly, brings church magazines and
books and says Hauptmann enjoys
them. Hauptmann's last words to his
