Universal Service says Abyssinia
will not take Mussolini, his airplanes

Abyssinian sorcerers, dealers in black
magic, will work against Italy. What
Is more dangerous than magic, Abys-
sinian fighting chiefs will use the poi
sonous tsetse fly against Italian SOL
ders. These flies, feeding on decayed
animal matter caught in the teeth Of
sleeping crocodiles, get the tsetse
germs from the blood Of the crocodiles
and plant them in the blood Of human
beings and cattle.

Two cats hung over line must
fight. The Kilkenny story proves 1t.
Mussolini has committed himself to
war, and once dictator speaks posi-
lively it Is unsafe, politically, for him
to back down, especially when other
nations interfere, as France and Eng
land have interfered. To retreat might
cost Mussolini his prestige.
Difficult also is the position of Halle
Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia. His
hold is not firm. Important chiefs,
heading various Abyssinian tribes,
would like his job. If he should avoid
war by yielding part of his territory to
Mussolini, as advised by England, re-
sulting complications might include as

The United States Chamber of Com
merce objects to the income and in
heritance tax program, calls it confisca-
ton. The question involved seems

Is it only held in trust by them for
public use by those that for the time
being exercise powers of government?

more, now worth about nothing, learn
that in some windup proceedings law

good deal, but you must remember

Figures do not lie, but they surprise
you. For instance, in the year 1901
the government Of the United States
mad 126 employees. Today it has 700,-
OOO employees, an increase Of 5000 per
cent. The number of congressman has
risen since 1901 from 12S to 531, a
little more than 400 per cent, while
United States population has increased
$500 per cent.
The increase in population is due to
mothers, the increase in government
extravaganza Is due to politicians.
Austria seems not quite certain that
she has had enough of the Hapsburg
royal family, that has ruled and mis-
ruled an intelligent people for so long.
Inc state council cancels decree that
Danished Hapsburgs and took their
property. Young Archduke Otto, pre-
tender to the throne, may now return

nnd themselves rich, the confiscated
imperial properties returned.
Young Otto, a handsome boy, with
somewhat peevlshly conceited express

ernment Is not easily learned. Austria,
