Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Dream Journey.
Travelling through the land of dreams
When skies are dark or bright.
And nothing is just what it seems
When met by day or night!
We long to view a deal that's new
Which leaves nobody sad:
One which makes pleasant dreams come
true
And quite forgets the bad.
Travelling through the land of dreams
The hopes that we pursue
Are with us still when morning CLEANS
If they are fair and true.
Our dreaming we must all complete
And start the day again
Nor be discouraged if we meet
A nightmare now and then.

Italy's Plight.

WIFI TICSluCllJ 1bOOcS'SA9S
ton of the existence of state OF war,
his declaration of an embargo on sale OF
arms to either belligerent and his warn
ings that American citizens will volun-
tarily engage in transactions OF any klno
with the belligerents or travel on their
ships at citizens own risk, the stage Is
set at Geneva for indictment OF Italy as
the aggressor in Africa. Formal action
to that end is scheduled for today. 1t
will place the final seal Of approval on
punitive steps long inevitable, though
characteristic League paltering more
than once made it seem doubtful
whether the debating powers would ever
find the courage to beat words into
decisive deeds.
The Council Committee has been
tardily spurred into adopting definite
position by military events. Adowa hav-
ing fallen into the hands of the Fascist
legions. to Rome's frenzied Joy, the
Council is no longer required to take
refuge in diplomatic phraseology, but
can without further equivocation pro-
ceed to brand italy as the aggressor.
Beyond question, the United States
attitude serves to strengthen the resolve
to hold Italy to account for violation OF
her League obligations. Geneva has
always been uncertain what Americas s
position would be in case of sanctions.
President Roosevelt's moves will not
formally constitute American identif1ca-
ton with League measures, but they
amount to that in practical effect. The
nations about to invoke the covenant
against Italy are now at least certain
to feel assured that interference by the
United States with League procedure is
highly improbable Mussolini is not
likely to indulge IN any illusions on
that score.
As the shadow of sanctions deScends
upon him, II Duce exudeS significant evl-
dence of a certain sweet reasonableness.
Rome rocks with circumstantial reports
that he is becoming minded. His
abortive appeal to Great Britain for
mutual withdrawal of naval forces from
the Mediterranean speaks volumes.
Frankly anxious to limit his military
operations to East Africa and maintain
peace in Europe, the dictator is authori-
tatively reported anxious for a deal to
settle the Ethiopian conflict on COM
promise" basis. There is talk of his
readiness to accept League mandate
Selassie's domain and to Cooperate"
with the Emperor in organizing the rest
of the country, possibly with Anglo
French participation. If there is any
foundation for such projects, they denote
a wide departure from MuSsolini's pre-
vious claims, which called for nothing
less than annexation of Ethiopia.
Adowa, city of revenge, having been
captured, II Duce may feel that Italy'S
military escutcheon is cleansed and that
she can now make peace with honor.
The Italian people cannot contemplate
with anything but anxiety and alarm
the twin calamities confronting them
the squandering of life and treasure on
cruelty terrible scale in the jungles of
Ethiopia, and the certainty that League
sanctions sooner or later will fatefully
cripple 1talys capacity to wage indefi-
nitely the colonial war" into which
regardless of possibly far graver conse-
quences nearer home.

Conduit Road Held
Menace to Motorists
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I note with interest the excellent
publicity your paper has lately given to
the deplorable conditions of Defense
Highway. I feel sure it will result in
steps to make that highway safer.
I would like. however. to call your
attention to Conduit road, in Montgom-
cry County. In the District this is a
90-foot highway with 30-nile speed
limit. Upon reaching the State line it
narrows to Is feet and has speed limit
Of IS miles per hour. 1t is so curved
that to follow it exactly without cutting
across would virtually twist cars frame.
This highway is heavily travelled, par
ticuarly in the Summer, when Glen Echo
Park is open. 1t is not only unsafe and
a menace to life and property, but is
also disgrace to the State of Maryland.

Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Her Majesty

Her Majesty
A monarch dies Tears at his rites.
The morrow sees new satellites
And q new sovereign on the throne
Claiming the kingdom for his own.
His coronation hymn they sing:
THE King Is dead-long live the King!'
And when a Queen dies. Eyes are wet
For one they may not soon forget
Enshrined for aye her motherhood;
ROYAL succession In her brood
Throughout the world the cry will ring:
The Queen is dead l. God help the

Since we are fashioned all the same

With consequences sad,

I'm also just as bad"

Habit.
Why DO we play at silly games?
Why do so many view
With pride their superficial aims
It's Just because we do.
Why do we leave happy home
Some battle to pursue,
Scarce understanding why they roam
It's Just because we do.
Why does monkey climb and throw
A coconut or two,
And why do men a bombing go
It's just because we do.

Uncle Eben, "a lot Of things dat we
ought to have known by natural common

There is one Republican presidential
possibility who is laying low these days
Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan.
He Is letting all the rest make the rum

refuses to be budged from the posi-

not candidate for the nomination and
will not lift a finger to advance his
own prospects along that line. Yet
there are many Republicans who insist
that Vandenberg would make the strong
est candidate the party could put for
ward. He is good speaker, quality
which some of the others prominently
mentioned do not have.
