until either Italy or Ethiopia was
forced into submission.
II II Duce should indicate willing
ness to discuss the plan being drafted
by Laval and Hoare to forestall neces-
5ity of an extension of sanctions, with
all its implications. diplomats said an
armistice might be suggested to en-
able the French and British leaders
to discuss their program with Italian
representatives.
This course would involve the call
ing of a tri-power conference, with
Laval inviting Hoare and probably
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Mussolinfs
Geneva spokesman, to meet him at
Paris or on the Riviera for a final
effort to break the deadlock.
The first task Of the French and
British statesmen in their talk this
afternoon was to reconcile their still
conflicting viewpoints as to what con-
stituted a peace plan acceptable alike
to Italy, Ethiopia and the League Of
Nations.
Experts Work on Program.
Maurice Peterson and Count Rene
de Saint Quentin, Ethiopian experts
of the London and Paris foreign Of
fees, had been working on the pro-
gram here for two weeks, but were re-
ported still at odds over their final
conclusions.
The major point on which the two
nations agreed was their opposition
to permitting Italy to take Ethiopian
territories linking its East African
colonies of Eritrea and Somaliland.
The French opposed any such prof.
ect on the grounds that the railway
from Adds Ababa to Djibouti. French
Somaliland, would be cut in two. The
British objected to any such further
blocking Of land-locked Ethiopia from
the sea.
Aside from this. Paris and london
still lacked complete harmony on other
points of the program-from the ques-
ton of cession Of Ethiopia's Northern
Tigre Province to Italy. to the pro-
posal for giving Ethiopia an outlet to
the sea.
The previous Suggestions" for peace,
dispatched to Rome by Laval, were
reported to envisage cession Of an
Eritrean seaport to Ethiopia, yielding
Of part Of Tigre Province to Italy, &C.
quisition by Italy Of part of South
ern Ogaden Province. with the re-
mainder Of Ethiopia to be absolutely
independent.

IRISH TOWER REPRODUCED

OF that most characteristic type
of ancient Irish architecture, the
round tower, the only reproduction
in America stands in Massachusetts,
at Milford. 1t was built in 1894 by
the late Rev. Patrick Cuddahy, a
native of Ireland. Interested In
Irish antiquities, he studied the tow
ers and obtained descriptive books
on the subject. He was his own
architect, using the Glendalough
tower as a model.
His construction is of Milford
granite, coursed ashlar with rubble
backing, - feet high, with a circum-
ference of A feet and internal diam
eter Of feet. The conical roof, formed
of layers of dressed stone, and the
point, surmounted by the shamrock.
are chiseled from one stone. The
attic story has four window opes,
angular-headed, and one square
headed opening is in each interme-
date story. The tower stands like

first thing that men want to know
What's in it? They've had TO ask
that, because men have families to
support. But women are used to
taking jobs with nothing in them,
just for some silly idea that they
can Go some good.
And. last but not least, about be-
ing mayor Of Calera, it looks like a
job without much action or fireworks
or glory. The work requires less
dramatic qualities than the power
and willingness Of Cancellation and
self-effacement and patience. Al,
most any wife and mother, of course,
is an expert along those lines.
"No, dear reader, happy as 1 am
at all times to pin a feather in wo-

it's not because the male politicians
of that little city were too weak or
incompetent to hold down the job
that it was given to a woman-but
because no man wanted it. That's
why she's the man for the job"
