History will tell exactly what Mus
solini has done. His test lies in the
future.
The London Times and Universal
Service announce clash between Ethi-
opians and Italians, 20 Philippians and
40 Italians, killed, stream supplying
the Italian camp turAed In new d.
rection and the Italians compelled to
retreat.
Rome has no information" on
this incident.
Perhaps Mussolini, who knows that
war should supply only good news, Is
waiting to add something such as:
"Air bombardment of Adds Ababa has
inflicted swift retribution for the kill
ing of 40 Italians"
Italy has $100,0O0,000 in gold stored
in London and can't get it. Why can
not Italy get that gold? England says
to Italy, when you pay the money
you borrowed in the war, you can have
your gold"
Britons are practical. When they
lent money to Italy they said "Send
along your gold; not that we ques-
ton your honor, but as mere for
mality."
Too bad this supplemented country
didn't think of that when it shipped
$1OOOOOO0OOO abroad. Perhaps we
shall think of it next time, more prob
ably not.
The General Electric company has
developed, electrically, temperature
of 1900 degrees Fahrenheit, an
nounced as "hotter than the SUMS
1900 degrees"
But 5000 is only the suns external
temperature.
Go to some distance into the suns
interior, where atoms are throwing
off electrons to supply us and other
planets with heat and light, and you
would find temperature Of 100000
100000 degrees centigrade. When will
Gerard Swope develop that tempera-
ture artificially?
Thomas E. Dewey, chosen to fight
racketeering in New York, says in a
broadcast:
"The criminal underworld plays no
favorites. 1t preys on the public, on
industry and on labor alike Organ
lied labor has been one of its most
recent and most tragic victims. Many
originally honest and sound labor
unions have been slowly but surely
infected with the virus of organized
crime. Today certain corruptive lead
ers operate as extortionists both upon
industry and upon members Of their
own unions.
An intelligent group of motorists
announce ''safe driving campaign for
August" urging automobile drivers to
consider safety, particularly in their
own cars.
The safest thing would be to send
tens of thousands of cars now rum
ming to the junk pile, get new cars
and live longer. Modern tires give
miraculous mileage, but often they
look good for ten thousand miles
more" when they have reached the
danger point.
In Yugoslavia 20 years ago Alexan-
der Bogar, now living in Minneapolis,
Mimi, killed friend in fight. Wish
ing to make amends, he offered to
marry the widow. That could not be
ing in mines, and now offers the
money to the twenty-two-year-old
daughter of the man he killed. She
is poor and will accept.
Atonement by payment is almost as
old as murder. There are still coun-
tries in which crime may be paid for
in cash, the amount depending on
the rank Of the person murdered.
George, former king of Greece will
take the crown If 60 per cent Of
Greeks vote in his favor. He thinks
60 per cent enough. Once crowned,
George might be surprised to find
what 40 per cent of Greeks could do.
George Bernard Shaw. in dispatch
to Editor Walter Howey, remarks that
both Irish and Jews are not easy to
deal with when they are uncomfort-
able. That applies also to Greeks.
The British forbade shipment of
arms from England to Abyssinia, also

They have a way Of protecting their
nationals.
