The beginnings of Ethiopian history, like those of
olden Rome are wrapped in the mists OF legend, but
the Ethiopian legends go back farther in time.
They go back, in fact to the Old Testament. Halle
Selassie's people claim descent from Cush who was
son Of Ham, who in turn was of Noah. They
maintain that the word ethiopian" appearing in
the septuagint and the vulgate, is the translation
Of "Cushites" y.

Who saws folks won't listen to music
Unless it's canned or on the air,
Or just something by any other name .o;.,
Like poor jazz which hardly rates 1air
Summer symphonies show to the contrary
That real music is liked by the masses
When throngs numbering 5000 strong
Represent all sorts and classes. .,..,
A pianist was playing Emperor, by Beethoven
In stadium packed to the doors,
And all and sundry that gathered there
Were not up on tempo and scores.
Proving fine music is not alone for the students
who can cleverly fashion cefs and bars,
Who know whole from a semi-tone
Or recognize poor harmony that mars:
Good music IS like something beautiful in nature
Or picture that is lovely to see
To be enjoyed by receptive mind and ear,
And pleasure for you and for me.

LEGISLATURE
TRIES AGAIN
TO BEGIN JOB
State Watches Solons
After Strike In
Which Quorums On
Two Days Fail

AUSTIN, Oct. 10. Up Legisla-
tive leaders Saturday looked u
next week for resumption Of work
on old-age pensions and other
pressing problems Of state.
A few members in Austin dur
ing the weekend believed re-
action TO adverse criticism by the
people back home" OF inactivity
ut the start OF the second special
session would cause both houses CO
buckle down to work.
Legislators counted only one day
or work In the sessions initial
short week. Lacking quorums for
two days, both houses adjourned
over the weekend.
Governor Alfred convened the
session primarily for enactment OF
an old-age pension plan with
revenue 20 pay the cost. Other
problems awaiting solution, but
unsubmitted, included liquor regu-
lation and salaries for county and
district officers removed from a fee
basis.
Those problems we're considered
IN a preceding special session which
yielded only one major bill, that
imposing graduated taxes on chain
stores.
Bills 70 provide pensions and TO
raise the necessary revenue we're
introduced the opening day. Com
mitteeS In both houses promptly
reported pension bills, on which
floor consideration may be start
eel Monday.
Both committees approved the
principle Of restricting pensions to
needy persons, an issue which slow
ed action In the first session.
Neither OF the bills contained
revenue plans. The senate finance
committee eliminated a three per
cent sales tax from one OF the two
senate bills. Senator Roy Sande-
ford of Bolton. the author. intend
ed 20 renew the fight for q sales
tax BY asking the senate 20 over
ride the committees recommended
ton.
More than q dozen tax bills
awaited action by the house reve-
nsfe and taxation committee, which
ordered a sub-group 10 study the
proposals and report Immediately.
Committee work was delayed when
a quorum was not developed at It's
first meeting.
