first step of their demand for a

was "a to l.

a year extra for street improve
ment purposes, the added amount
to be expended on state highway
routes through the municipalities.
The bill now goes to the lower
house.
Farm district senators voted for

Halle Selassie has offered four

The animals were brought into

Two lionesseS and one lion are

The Emperor was surprised

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Ninety per cent of farm
homes in the United States
are without bathrooms; 80
per cent of the village homes
and 10 per cent of the city
homes lack this necessity.
1t requires nineteen sec
onds for a bomb to reach the
earth when dropped from a
plane a mile high.
During the World War
the United States navy en-
listed young women. These
girls were enrolled as voc
men and served at shore es-
Establishments in clerical posi-
tions, thereby releasing men
or duties on shipboard.
