NEGROES
PLAN To AID
ETHIOPIA
Recruiting Station to Open
and Former Service Men
Say They'll Sign Up

Sidewalk discussion of the Ital-
ian. Ethiopian conflict continues
along U Street in the city's most
thickly populated colored district.
Plans to open a recruiting sta
ton this week have been favor
ably received. Many ex-service
men say they would like to go to
Abyssinia and join its forces. The
Universal Multitechnic Associa-
ton will have charge of recruit
ing. The station is to be opened
in the 1900 block U st.
Financial Aid Also Asked
Sympathizers are also being
asked to lend financial aid.
Throughout the United States
Negro patriotic leaders and SYM
pathizers are organizing groups to
assist the Philippians. Hubert
Julian, colored aviator of New
York and former officer in charge
of the Abyssinian air corps, has
returned to that country and is
said to be assisting in the organ
ization of an air fleet for use in
case of invasion by the Italians.
It is understood in colored
circles here that DR.. John West,
son of DR.. Charles West, of the
900 block M st. N. w., may re-
turn to AbysSinia in case of war
to assist in the medical depart
ment of that country. DR.. West,
who is graduate of Howard Uni
versity and now at TuSkegee In
stitute, spent some time in the
public heath service of Ethiopia
several months ago.
Prince Returns Home
It was reported that Prince
Malaku Bayen, nephew of the
Abyssinian emperor. who was
graduated from the Howard Medi-
cal School this year and has now
sailed for home, is much inter
ested in having him return to
AbySSinia.
Young DR.. West, upon his re-
turn from Abyssinia here several
months ago, delivered several lee
lures on the people and condi-
tions in that country.

According to DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the Zoo, the
birds that walk like a man" and
which came to Washington via
the Antarctic in July, 1888, are
"jackass penguins."
But to the kids, they are just
a couple of friendly fellows who
walk upright even as you and I,
and poke their beaks through the
bars of the cage at the bird
house.
While in the Antarctic, Admiral
Byrd and his men made pets of
them. They aren't good to eat
because they taste fiShy, but
they're amusing to watch. They
are from Is to 48 inches tall and
weigh about IS pounds.

1t was stated, however, that ad.
justments probably will be neces-
sary to further adapt the bus
line to the needs of the COM
munity.
The regular street car fare and
the ST. weekly pass will apply on
this bus line, with the same
transfer privileges as are enjoyed
on rail lines.
Route Of Bus Line
The route, starting from the
Congress Heights end, will be from
HALEY Pl., S. w., to First St.,
south to Livingston Rd., west to
Nichols Ave, north across the
Anacostia Bridge, continuing north
on Eleventh st. to K, west on K
St. to Virginia Ave-, to Fourth

ST., S. w., continuing to the ex-
tension of E St., west to Sixth St.,
north to Pennsylvania Ave-, N.
W., west to Eleventh St., north to
1 St., and east to Tenth st. Dur
ing the rush hours an additional
service will be available which
will take a portion of the BUSES

will turn back at the Peace Monu-
ment.
so Buses Ordered
Sixty buses for the Calvert
Chevy Chase Circle route are to
be delivered to the Capital Tran
sit Company here the latter part
of August.
These BUSES will run on about
a 15-minute schedule, probably
with lesser Roadway during rush
hours, according to tentative plans.
With the approval of the Mary
land Commission of the aban-
donment of the trolley lines on
Connecticut Avenue. the plans for
running the BUSES into Maryland
on that street will be completed
so as to give Chevy Chase, Md, as
far as Chevy Chase Lake, and
probably Garrett Park, bus service
when it starts on Connecticut
Avenue, D. C.
It is probable, according to
Capital Transit Company officials,
that the buses running into Mary
land will run on an express sched-
ule.
Line to Rockville
Meanwhile, with the Maryland
Public Service Commission having
approved abandonment of the
Wisconsin Avenue trolley line, it
appears that the plans for sub.
shutting BUSES for street cars
there to connect with the Wiscon-
sin Avenue trolley line, will be the
next major change.
This bus line will connect
Rockville with the District by way
of the Old Georgetown Road. The
Alta Vista street cars also will be
taken out of service. but the bus
schedule to the latter point will
double the schedule. Buses trav-
cling to Rockville will run on an
hourly schedule.
With the present Montgomery
County bus line continuing along
the Rockville Road and regulat-
ing it's schedule so as to stagger
with the new line, Rockville will
be given half hourly service be.

Mr.. Copp comments, but apparent
ly the means of payment for these

greater or less extent from Italian

This statement is borne out by
the fact that Libya, which takes

Why Not Build Manhood


MI. Carl Rabe, proprietor of RABIES Buffet, oath and Lake
Streets, says he believes the government should help fathers and
mothers of today with the youth of our country. The following
is a suggestion Nh. Rabe made to the Acting Editor of the Omaha
Guide. Mr.. Rabe says if there were some way for the United
States to take full charge of our youth between the ages of IS
and Fl veaTs, and place them under proper discipline in a position
where they could be of some service to our government and at
the same time be taught discipline, obedience, poiteness and the
value of good health and how to build a muscular body, we would
dispose of the criminal incEnatons in the youth of today. Mr..
Rabe says that every youth of the country should be forced to
accept this training at least eighteen months of his life. He
makes the statement from experience.
Mr.. Rabe is a native of Germany, and when ne We eighteen
years old, ne voluntarily entered the army. He spent eighteen
months in training and says that the foundation Of his future life
was built during that eighteen months. First he was taught dis
clpine, next, physical endurance, then obedience, and on the whole,
came out physically and mentally fit to face the world as a ch-
zen. Mr.. Rsbe says that not part of his life was spent to SO
great an advantage in building his future as the eighteen months
ne spent in the army.
The youth Of our country at eighteen, as a rule, are turned
loose, due to the fact that at this age they become restless, men
tally disturbed and uncomfortable by their parents and neighbors,
and their environment is not strong enough to hold them in check.
and prevent their becoming dredges n society, either. by physical
defects or criminal inclination of the mind.
Mr.. Rabe takes off his hat to President Roosevelt's C. {. C.
Camp, and says that his only regret is that it isn't compulsory.
He says that he thinksevery youth should be forced to sign an
agreement for at least eighteen months, as this would be one large
step IN building manhood in our youths.

years. Jacobs intends to give Louis the opportunity to fight frequently if he desires and already has lined up several prospects for a November bout.
 After that Jacobs plans to take the heavyweight sensation on a tour which will give the fight en- thusiasts of South America and Eu- rope chance to see the Bomber in action against the best man avail able.

NEW CHANGE IN FOO BALL
 THIS SEASON
Alteration of Rule Now Leads to Wide
 Open Play

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-This is the year marked for wide-open football.
 The only major alteration in the rules since last fall-and it is called a mere interpretation of standing rule-makes it legal for a player whose forward progress has been halted to pass or break away for a kick or run until the ball is blown dead by the referee.
 This liberalization effected by a supplementary note inserted in the old rule book is expected to en- courage lateral passes. You may see the ball pop out of the arms of a tackled runner to tcammate at any time, so long as his pass is eitLsr lateral or backward after he has ad- vanced.
 A Radical Development
 H. J. Stegeman, director of ath- letics at the University of Georgia and member of the national rules committee, regards this as radical development in one of the spectacu- lar phases of the game
 "The remarkable popularity of such lateral passing teams as Col gate and Ohio State has brought an insistent demand for this type of play" says Stegeman.
 .'The new interpretation is going to allow the ball carrier all possible opportunity to pass the ball to a teammate- even if he is held in the grasp of an opponent.
 This season the referee is re- quired to allow a ball carrier to throw the ball as long as he is in any possible position to do so. As long as the ball carrier is not on the ground hA opportunity to pass must not be taken from him. As soon as this opportunity ceases the ball will be declared dead.'
 Stegeman Answers Critics
 Answering the viewers-with- alarm, the stand-patters who think the new interpretation will devitalize foot ball, Stegeman says:
 There is no danger of the game developing into basketball, but the fans can expect to see the ball in the air on almost any play. You will see the ball carrier, as he is about to be tackled, look around for a teammate. The forward passer also will have more opportunity to complete his passes under the same interpretation, so it is to be expected that more forward passing will result
 "The passer will be allowed more time to find his receivers-and re- ceivers will have more time to get into the open.
 All in all it looks like a season of wide open play"
 From the coaching ranks comes the suggestion that the change wrought by the interpreters likens football more to the parent game of Rugby, and that the American game will benefit thereby.
 There are dangers in the lateral pass" says William H. tBilD Spauld- ing, coach of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, but it has come definite advantages. In Rugby the offense expects to lose the ball from time to time through intercep- tions and in football the other side is going to take the ball away from you occasionally and perhaps score on the play.
 However, team ought to get more out of Rugby tactics than il loses-if the youngsters know how to handle the ball"

mings, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Franklin Cummings, at Brownsville, Tex. To them were born five sons and a daughter. All of the former served their country during the World War, four as commissioned officers and the other as a corporal.
 First Govt. Assignment
 Supplementing his studies at West Point Gen. Sibert took three-year course at the Engineer School of Ap- plicotion and then received his first government assignment as assistant engineer on river work in Kentucky From 1892 to 1894, he was in charge of the construction of the ship chan mel connecting the Great Lakes and then was transferred as general manager and chief engineer of the Manila and Dagunan railroad At the same time he served as chief engineer of the Eighth Army Corps During the next seven years Gen. Sibert was in charge of engineering in river and harbor districts in this country with headquarters at Louis- vile and Pittsburgh. The success with which he completed his assign ments up to that time led to his appointment in 1907 as a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission and incidentally to the most important engineering work of his career.
 In Canal Zone
 General Sibert was engaged in the Canal Zone for seven years, during which he built the Gotun locks and dam, the west breakwater in Colon harbor and supervised the excava- tion of the canal from Gatun to the Atlantic ocean. It was for this work that he was thanked by Congress and raised to the rank of Brigadier General. There followed an assign
