appeal urges the broadest support
for the united front defense con-
ference to be held Sunday, Feb. 10,
at 2 p. m, in Carpenter Hall, liz
Valencia Street, San Francisco,
Calf, and for financial aid for the
defense. The appeal, signed by all
1S defendants, says in part:
To ALL Persons and Organiza-
tiOns who are for LabOr's Civil
Rights and are opposed to the
Criminal Syndicalism Laws:
We, 10 men and women now on
trial for Criminal Syndicalism in
Sacramento, face 6 to "a years i'm
prisonment each for our labor ac-
tivities, total of 1912 prison years.

diately followed the San Francisco

The chief tool behind the prose-
cution is former District Attorney

dated in the last election. The
State, disregarding this reputation
by the people, is spending thou
sands of dollars in order to hire
McAllister and his two deputies,
Buekler and Johnson, as special
prosecutors.

issues of humanity for which it
stands, and all those who stand
for repeal of the criminal Syndi-
calism Law.
"The issues involved are Of ut

In the first place. the young
woman in the picture doesn't
strike one as being the peasant
type. She sits straight and stron Z,
her back against a straight, strong
chair, her face in profile.
Be the title as it may, the fact
remains that the picture was
painted by a dashing young art
ist. Samuel Richards. 1t is inter-
esting to attempt to determine
from the unfathomable back
ground, not painted into the pic
ture, just why the artist picked
this girl to pose for him.
She is strikingly attractive-al-
most beautiful. But there is a
subdued tone to her nature as
portrayed by the artist which
makes one believe that there was
much more TO her than ever
reached the outer world.
The pale blue earring, cleaning
coyly from the uncovered tip of
the Peasant Girls" ear, bellies
hidden craving for fine jewelry
and at the same time, the fact
that the earring is the only piece
of jewelry the girl is wearing tells
boldly that her desires were never
quite fulfilled
A pale pink scarf drawn over
her brown. practical looking
apron, depicts as we'll as words
could tell, the fact that the model
may have played at king and

Richards, who died at an early
age. had the ephemersl something
which guided the hand of Shelley
and Keats.
TN laughing contrast to the
i splendid portrait of the Peas
ant Girl" is shown a canvas by
John Gibson Dunn, peculiar fell
low who was doctor by profess
sion and wrote poetry in his, if
any, idle moments.
The painting is called "The
Pledge" and has for subject mat
ter, a habitual drunk who is be-
ing tempted by his faithful spouse
and a ruSty-colored devil. His
wife is tempting him into signing
a large Pledge" and the devil
is holding, enticingly near, a most
refreshing mint julep. Probably
the most significantly obvious fact
about the picture is that it es-
tablishes without a doubt that
mint juleps existed more than 100
years ago. 4
The central figure, with the full
morning after" stare still lurk-
ing in his eyes, has not made up
his mind, when the picture was
painted, just what he was going
to do.
But by the look of insistence on
the face of the wife and the fact
that the drunk is already holding
a quill pen in his hand, one may
assume that he probably took to
the wagon.

every modern device for warfare,
developed a general belief that
Mussolini might have on his hands
a war Of attrition. in which guer-
rilla fighting. ambushes, and the
weather elements may combine to
prevent any wholesale conquest of
Ethiopia.
On the other hand, the war-if it
comes-will provide a vivid test of
airplanes, bombs, and gas, as an
effective means of waging mountain
warfare, and the most optimistic
Ethiopians recognize that Mussolini
is not likely to engage in any un-
dertaking the outcome of which
would be doubtful in his own mind.
The tribes of Ethiopia, giving
feudal loyalty to Halle SelaSsie, are
considered rugged. courageous, and
daring.
Cactus Studded Frontiers
Ethiopia, save for the railroad line
from Djibouti to Adds Ababa, and
in the vicinity Of the capital, is a
country without modern roads and
without cities. Part of its terrain
is similar to that of the American
Southwest.
It has desolate, cactus-studded
frontiers. and a natural barrier of
highlands, plateaus, bleak peaks,
chasms and canyons. 1t could af-
ford hiding places for a scattered
army of a million men.
Most Of the tribesmen are held in

Quarrel An Old One
The quarrel with Italy is not new,
and the question of boundary line
between Abyssinia and the two
Italian protectorates, Somaliland on
the Southeast, and Eritrea on the
Northeast, has been troublesome for
more than 40 years. In Italian
school book maps there is no such

Two Religious Assembly Grounds Near City

Hendersonville is the home of the summer as
sembly grounds of the Associate Reformed Presby-
terrain church at Bonclarken, three miles out on the
Flat Rock road and the Protestant Episcopal church
at Kanuga Lake, six miles from the city over paved
highway.
Bonclarken assembly grounds, in addition to be-
ing beautiful spot add very much to the moral
tone of the community. Here are 70 acres and
large church assembly building, which is also used
part of the season as hotel, snd a number CT
cottages. On the grounds facing Highland Lake are
also number of private dwellings. This property
formerly known as Heidelberg" and many
unique and unusual features about the buildings
and grounds add to the interest of the place. 1t is
located among the many private estates in Flat
Rock.
Each summer the Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rian church holds several conferences there, nclud
ing those for young people, adults and aymen. The
Christian church and the Lutheran church have also
held conferences there during the past two three

The property was bought about 1920 by ind
viduals and then later taken over by the Bonclark
en- Association which has dedicated it to the inter-
est of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church
great deal of the pioneering effort in establish
ing this place was done by E. C. Stewart of Barlow

ficers are: K H. Patrick White Oak, S. c., chair
man of the executive committee; j. Y. Todd, Gas
tonia, n c., treasurer; and Mrs Carrie Brlce' II

and operates the hotel when the conferences are
not in session.
Kanuga Lake Inn, situated six miles from Hen
Jacksonville, will be opened June 10 for its eighth
season of ownership and operation by the Episcopal
church as training and recreational center. Amid
naturally beautiful surroundings the place itself
has much to offer-a 1O-acre lake, artistic hotel
building and cottages, comfortably furnished and
equipped with electric lights and hot and cold
water pavilion on the lakeside has dancing
floor and stage for pageants and theatricals while
an excellent golf course and livery stable are avail
