 QUICK REPORT.
 WASHINGTON, June 5.-A quick assertion that nobody has proposed changing the form of the United States governme ent is made by Speaker Byrns when informed of the Hoover -Lowden interpretations of the recent Washington develop ments.
 There is no proposed change in the form of government, said Speaker Byrns. "Of course, the Re- publicans like Hoover and Lowden, are trying to put up this political bogeyman for which they have been casting around ever since the last election"

 They, too, are members of the religious group known as Jehovah's Witnesses had explained to bewil- dercd school authorities that 1t was against the precepts of their faith to salute the flag.
 Nichols, an eight-year-old third grade pupil, earlier had called the flag symbol of the devils king dom." He said that government was not of divine origin and there for was the work of the devil.

Registration for Adult Education Classes Disappointing

Streets of Rome were filled until late in the night by shouting, marching, singing merrymakers still celebrating the fall of Aduwa.
 Scores of improvised floats carried caricatures of Emperor Halle 6elassi of Ethiopia in undignified positions, youths and girls waved cardboard placards carrying the words Rome --Aduwa-Addis Ababai"
 Loaded Ships Start
 As the demonstrailts shouted and laughed, five ships, loaded with men, livestock and materials of war slip ped out of Naples for Eritrea And Italian Somaliland. It was perhaps significant, in view of rumors of pestilence among African troops, that a large part of the men de- parting today were of the sanitation corps.
 The foreign office awaited calmly amid the popular excitement for an ofncial transcription of the anti- Italian report adopted unanimously last night by the league council.
 Economic sanctions, the foreign office spokesman said, will have no effect. Unanimous world action in such a situation is impossible, he said, and Italy expects no difficulty in buying essential goods from friendly nations. He would not specify what nations he expected to be friendly.
 Financial sanctions, he said, have for practical purposes been opera tive a considerable time because of the alarm of investors at the pros- pect of war. He said Italy is able to finance itself internally and does not fear international action.

 Faults of Old War
 In the 19l4-17 period the activi- ties most directly responsible for pu.hing the United States into the World War were:
 1. American sale of arms, muni- tions and supplies of all kinds to the allied government.
 2. Financial transactions by American banks with the allied governments.
 3. Insistence by the American overnmen on it's neutrality rights" particularly the right of American ships to carry supplies other than those considered actual munitions" to tse allied countries
 4. Insistence by this government on the right of American nationals to travel on the ships of any na- ton, so long as those ships were not actually transporting munitions.

 Firm Attitude Taken
 The present firm attitude of league leaders was shown yesterday not only by their vote but by their curt refusal of an Italian demand for postponement of the council meeting until next Tuesday, in or der that Mussolini might study the report which declared Italy to be an aggressor.
 Council members took the posi- ton that men were being killed in Ethiopia and that action was ur- gently necessary. They offered Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy an

WHAT'S IN A NAME
By R A Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
One may quote Shakespeare's query
whats in a name?" and may be
convinced of the logic Of his conclu-
sion that "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" yet, but people
still think seriously of the significance
of names.
The Jews considered the Bible
anne significant. Chief among
them were David, Joseph, Abel, Abra-
ham, Jacob, Moses, Noah, John, Ruth
Naomi, Mary, Elizabeth, and Hannah.
But there were very few Gains, Ahabs,
Jezebels and Rahabs.
1t may be argued that in modern
times names have only psychological
influence, but few parents would be
inclined to give the names of motor
ious characters to their children.
There may be nothing to it," but
thoughtful people are careful in re-
gard to the names given their children
lest, in some way, knowing the history
and the reputation of an undesirable
person the child might be subject to
ridicule Or might be influenced to i'm
itate the life of such a one, to the
detriment of the child Yes, there is
something in a name.

White Quits Virgin
Island Council Over
ROOsevelt's Silence

New York, May 16.-Walter
White, secretary Of the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People, definitely
broke with the President this
week when he resigned from the
Virgin Islands Council in protest
over Mr.. Roosevelt s silence DUR
ing the anti-lynching filibuster.
In his letter to the President,
MI. White exressed disappoint-
ment "that you as President did
not see your way clear to make a
public pronouncement by means
Of a message to the Senate or
otherwise, and by giving your
open endorsement to the anti
lynching bill and your obstruc-
tionists who, under the antiquat-
ed rules Of the Senate were able
to thwart the desire Of three
times their number Of senators to
vote for the bill and Of many mil
lions Of Americans, North and
South, and Of all races and creeds
who insisted upon passage Of a
bill to end lynching.
"It is my belief that the utter
less shameless filibuster could not
have withstood the pressure Of
public opinion had you spoken
out against it. The Southern
press itself took the lead in con
demning the Grass and unethical
means taken by the filibusters to
kill the measure.
II feel, therefore, that in just
ice to the cause | serve | cannot
continue to remain even a small
part Of your official family. | re-
gret the necessity Of taking this
action, but | do not see that | can
follow any other course with
honor to the cause | serve and to
myself"

The name Bethesda means House of
Mercy. 1t was given to the pool be-
u in mercy many found healing.
In the world today we see the urgent
need for many Bethesdas.
L. The Christian Church. Every
church building should be a house Of
mercy where the afflicted in body and
mind and the needy of all classes may
find mercy and healing.
2. All Places of Human Abode.
True 'The world is full of heavy
hearts," and every home should be a
house of mercy where the homeless,
the hungry, the friendless may be
given relief.
3. Divine Presence Necessary. The
Bethesda here was beneficial because
the angel Of the Lord came down and
troubled the water. So, for a church
or a home to be contributory to hu-
mar betterment it is necessary that
Divine Presence be manifest there.
4. Divine Mercy Never Exhausted
The pool was troubled only once a
year, but when Jesus came there was
no particular time at which people
might be blessed. So, today, those
who are more fortunate should be ever
ready to relieve those who need mercy,
just a Christ is ready, and willing,
and anxious to help, and bless and
save. Yes let US make every house
a HOUSE OF MERCY"
