Turn the masterful eye away from the
machine, for once, and regard life.
Then it will be seen easily enough,
and plainly, that the motor vehicle
going along easily has a much better
chance VI not hitting, not running down,
the pedestrian, whether human or AMI
NAL than the car going at an accelerated
rate of speed.
Here is truck bowling along a resi-
dence street at 40 miles an hour.
When a small dog runs out, the man
at the wheel hasn't time to turn out.
He actually hasn't time in which to
do anything.
So he runs squarely over the pup.
1t isn't pretty sight. He stops
backs up.
He protests his innocence. Maybe he
has dog of his own at home.
He wouldn't deliberately run over a
dog.
He couldn't help it.
So he says. and so 1t is, and that is
the point.
Had he been going at 20 miles he
would have been approaching at slower
speed, and just the few extra seconds
would have permitted him to do some
thing about it.
Il
An automobile accident is usually the
result of few secondS-not minutes.
1t is all over in tWinkling of an eye.
The eye must twinkle just a little
longer, that is all, in each case.

being killed.
God help u.s." said the ragged man.
God help us, indeed. 1t was the sin
cere expression of an honest man, and
it will be echoed by other honest people
who have not permitted the god of speed
to throw too much dust in their eyes.
The trouble comes in translating all
this into action.
Everybody knows how it is.
You can have safety campaigns until
you are blue in the face. You can con-
vert nine-tenths of the people, but until
the other tenth is brought into line the
rest seems undone.
You can write, also, and everybody
will say, Yes, that's right" then go
right out into the street and forget all
about it.
1t is hopeful to believe that motorists
themselves, as veritable self lf-protection,
will bring about a reform.
1t is up to them.
The famous pedestrian can do very
little about it.
He is afraid now
To him it will come as comforting
news that car drivers themselves are
becoming afraid of each other.
Then they will do something about it.
1t rests with them. Words won't do it.
Deeds. restraint, thinking of others,
thinking of ones self-these will do it,
in time. Thoughts and actions will do
1t in time.

The Arabians constitute a large part Of
the merchant class. They have certain
hereditary occupations, including that of
agajeer. or elephant hunter. The skill
of these men, who attack elephants
armed only with sharp knives, with
which they cut the tendon of the heel.
long has aroused the wonder of Euro
pean travellers. These ArabianS remain
fanatical Moslems.
Another group Of followers Of Ma
homet are the Waitos, of unknown ra-
cial origin, who live near Lake Tsana.
These people, however, combine with the
creed OF Mohammed the peculiar "cult
OF the hippopotamus." Every man must
kill a hippopotamuS Single-handed be-
fore he is allowed to marry.
OF equally unknown origin are the
Koomants, chiefly distinguished by a
peculiar religion in which Christian,
MoSlem and Jewish elements are COM
bined.
The actual European intermixture has
been very small Since the advance of
MohammedaniSm the European contact
with the country has been only through
occasional missionaries, diplomatic mis-
sionS and small bodies of soldiers.
q
The population includes about 35O,000
Somali tribesmen - tall, broad shoul-
dered, narrow-nosed people who are
basically Of the same eastern Hamite
stock with considerable negroid and
some Arabian intermixture. Their leg
ends of Arabian descent are believed
to date back to a series of Arabian i'm
migrations into East Africa between the
thirteenth and fifteenth centuries.
For the most part they are nomads,
tending considerable herds of sheep and
cattle. There are few settled farmers
and some so-called "outcastes'-the
skilled workers in leather and iron. The
Somai are fighting race. All go
armed with spear, shield, short sword
and gun. Among some tribes there is
a special distinction for having killed
q man-Signif1ed by the wearing of an
ostrich feather. They are Quick-tem-
pered, keenly sensitive and intelligent
and make good soldiers.
Scattered over Central AbySsinia are
another Hamitic people, the Gala. They
call themselves the Sons of Orma, a
tribal culture hero. They are mostly
nomad herdsmen. with brown skins, high
foreheads and thin noses. The Gala are
the great beekeeperS. Honey is one
of the staple foods; and a recognized
cause for divorce among them is failure
Of a husband to supply plenty of it.
They also have long fighting tradition
and the men go about armed with a
lance, a two-edged knife and shield
of buffalo or hippopotamus hide. They
worship the serpent as the creator of
the human race and sacrifice oxen and
sheep to their high gods. Over some
Of them there is a thin veneer of Abys-
sinian Christianity.

NaZis' Armament Bill.

Astounding figures atteSting the mag
nitude of Germanys rearmament are
revealed in an Associated Press dis
patch from Berlin. They indicate that
the Nazis have been lavishing upon
machinery of war a greater outlay than
any other country in the world. Cal
culations based on the best available
private data disclose that Hitler has
spent on his army, navy and air force
an almost incredible average of 600,-
100000 marks about $240,0O0,OOO)
month. or at a rate, measured in Ameri-
can terms, of roundly So, 900, 100000 year.
The army and navy budget of the
United States is puny by comparison.
OF no less significance than this stag
gering evidence of determination TO
make the Reich a formidable war power
is the effect of that project upon Ger
manys financial position. secret
debt" of about $4,000 100000 has been
piled up in carrying out the rearmament
plans, with the result that the total
Reich debt is now about S12 900, 100000.
Some financial experts place the debt
not officially acknowledged by the
treasury at $8,0OO,00O,0OO. The secret
debt jumped in recent months from
$4,000, O,OOO,O 900 or $4,000, 100000 to $6,SOO,-
100000 because of the issuance of short
term bills to finance the down with
the Versailles treaty program.
The governments procedure appar-
emily evokes no displeaSure in the busi-
ness world because it has become the
backbone of German commercial activ-
ity. Between fifty and sixty per cent
of all industry at present, it is estimated,
is stimulated by orders for the fighting
forces. Italian economic prosperity" is
being similarly promoted by MusSollnlS S
preparations for war in Africa. The
Nazis and the Fascists have seized upon
vast-scale armament production as the
most potent weapon against depression.
While German banks, insurance COM
panies and industrial corporations are
turning liquid assets into Short-term
rearmament paper. a public debt struc-
ture is being created which admittedly
can come crashing down on HitlerismS
head. Any considerable dumping of
these securities upon the market would
not only slow up military, naval and
air plans, but seriously cripple general
treasury operations.
Worldwide speculation continues as
to the true inwardness of the current
crusade against German Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, war veterans and
other organized elements suspected of
hostility to certain phases of Nazi rule.
1t is persistently reported that economic
conditions in the Reich are reaching the
breaking point, and that Hitler has had
recourse to a revival of racial and
religious persecution in order to divert
attention from menacing situation. The
mad rate at which Germany's substance
is being squandered on armaments sug-
gests one of the causes of national
insecurity and peril which the govern
ment is anxious to cover up.

Who are the Abyssinians?
For 1000 years a melting pot Of the
Eastern World, the mountain -fortressed
is in the headlines, is a jig-saw puzzle
for anthropologiStS. Throughout history
there has been a continual ebb and flow
of immigrant peoples. Its mountain fast
neSSeS have provided last refuge for
defeated tribes. There has been the
slow. inevitable intermixture Of Hamite.
Semitic, Persian, Mongol and the grad
ual inf1ltration Of negroid elements from
the south.
This is indicated by the name Of the
country-never used by the natives
themselves. "Abyssinia" is derived from
the Arabian word "habesh." which means
mixed" 1t was applied as term OF
deriSion.
Basically the people are Hamites,
members Of the white race closely allied
with the Egyptians, the berbers and the
nomad peoples of the Sahara. 1t is a
race characterized by curly hair, high
and narrow heads, straight and narrow
noses, thin lips and reddish brown skins.
The skin color ranges from chocolate to
deep black in the south, to pale olive and
even white in the north. In spite Of
their color the EthiopianS cannot be
confused with the negroid races of Africa,
although some elements Of these peoples
have crept into the stock. The origin
of the Hamitic peoples is unknown, but
it is believed that they had a common
ancestry with the dark, narrow-headed
races on the northern shore of the
Mediterranean.
Basic in the Abyssinian stock are the
Beja. They are a truly Hamitic people,
almost identical physically with the pre-
dynastic Egyptians. They are brown
people with curly hair, lean and sinewy
phySiques, straight noses and thin lips.
Some of the tribal divisions of the Beja
probably are very close to the aboriginal
inhabitants of Northeast Africa.
There is unqueStionably large jew
ish element among the Ethiopians. This
is especially notable among the Falasha,
who retain the Jewish religion in a
very ancient form.
Two groups of them have secluded set
Elements high in the mountains. The
religious observance is extreme. 1t is
sin even to visit the house Of an unbe-
lever. They are farmers and metal
workers. They never have taken part
in the commercial life of the country.
1t is estimated that there are about
10000 pure-blooded Jews in Ethiopia,
in addition to the large racial admlx-
ture. How they got there nobody knows.
One theory is that when the Jewish
people left Egypt under the leadership
of Moses at the time Of the plague
part Of them went southwark instead OF
following the leader to Palestine. Still
another legend is that large Jewish
colony attended the Queen of Sheba--
that is, Ethiopia-when she returned
from her well-known visit to Solomon.
Another and more probable theory Is
that the Ethiopian Jews were tmmi-
grants from Babylon during the time
of the captivity.

about it was that it took so long to get

The decision of Circuit Court Of Appeals
in Boston, holding the processing taxes
unconstitutional, doubtless had a good

To needless pain.

Make me say yes"

Dusk Dreams

may not know day dreams Of you.
Not till your hours of toll are thru
And dusk releases your dear feet
My own to meet, my own to meet;
Not till the town has set you free
And given all your heart to me
Can I reveal in twilight's hue
My love for you. my love for you.
Should some chill dusk give me no sight
OF your loved face in early night,
I'd say good-by to dreams and you
Good-by to dreams Of you.

be vigorously fought in the courts and
in the State Legislature. If present indi-
cations are correct. There are power
companies established in Maine, with
thousands of investors in their securities,
which look with horror on the PaSSama-
quoddy project. They see no market for
both their own product and the product
of "Quoddy," and they do not figure that
any private concern can compete with
the Government when it comes to pro-
ducing and selling anything. For the
Government can sell for anything it de-
sireS under cost of production and make
up the deficit from other sources Of
revenue.
Oficials of the Bangor Hydro-E Electric
Co. and the Central Maine Power Co. say
that the power companies are watch
fully awaiting events in regard to
"Quoddy." But they are likely to be-
come very active in a fight to protect
what they consider their own and their
security holders rights. Furthermore,
they are declaring that the "Quoddy"
project will cost the people a great deal
more than $36,000000 before it is ever
finished, if it is finished. Indeed, they 60
so far as to assert that the total cost
may run up to s1oo, 100000. What they
hope is that the people and the country
may get sick of such a project, costing
so much money, before it is really well
under way.
1t is predicted, too, that it will be three
years before the project can be COM
pleted. A lot of this may be propaganda.
