PROTECT CRATE
Of ABYSSINIA
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent


Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
ROME. June 13 UP) - Italy is
seeking to establish a proctorate
over AbysSinia. retaining the
present dynasty of Emperor Halle
classic I, it was said authoritatiyely
today.
Abyssinia 1t was said. was ready
10 cede to Italy the province of
Cgaden, to be joined to Italian
Somaliland.
Ogaden borders on Italian and
British Somaliland. 1t is triangular
in shape. and flat, between the
mountains and the coastal strip Of
Italian Somilaland to the east. 1t
was the scene of the clashes be-
tween Italians and Abyssinian
tribesmen which led to the present
crisis
Italy, it was said, regarded the
establishment of a proctorate as
practicable, believing it could be ar
ranged by getting the consent OF
Great Britain and France to the
alteration of the British-French-
italian treaty of 1906 and the assent
Of the emperor.
It was said III Abyssinian circles
here that Halle Selassie was ready
10 make concessions to Italy by Of
fering the disputed zone of Ogaden
Diplomatic exchanges are pro-
ceeding with Great Britain and
France, it was learned, to find a
way to harmonic the contemplated
Italian relations with the existing
treaty.

Need Of Highway
Safety Is Stressed
By Insurance Man

This weeks article on highway
safety. furnished by the Imperial
County Street and Highway Safety
committee. was prepared by G. D.
Newton, news bureau supervisor Tor
the Travellers Insurance company,
and is as follows:
Time IS replete with instances
when great opportunities 70 per
form such good were fiddled away.
To look back upon these episodes
is TO impeach many on grounds
of rank stupidity and indifference
To safeguard life and limb upon
the streets and highways. certain
methods Of procedure are known TO
produce results.
It is known that many persons
drive who should not. Yet not all
states have drivers license laws.
And though much has been SAID
about uniformity Of regulations,
much remains TO be done.
It is known that in numerous
localities cnfOIcement Of motor Fe-
hicle laws has been reduced to a
farce that has become a most Vi
cious racket.
It is known that safety educa-
ton would serve to make motorists
drive more carefully. Yet only
fragmentary steps have been taken
II is known that engineering can
remove some Of the elements IN
yolved ln automobile accidents. But
as an example Of the obstacles in
this approach TO a solution Of the
problem. streets are used as public
garages.
When Rome burned, Nero is sup
posed TO have admired the spec
tacle from a distance and 10 have
reciyed verses about The burning Of
Troy How many persons today
are virtually Going that. when Oh
al sides are mute evidences Of tLe
destruction of life and property or
streets and highways?
Consider the failure 10 safeguard
hfe and limb. isn't It fair 10 ask
Why Sneeg al Nero?"
