And. of course. there has been talk of a big pub

the POSTMASTER giving the guest of honor gold

Indeed. the POSTMASTER had his final words all re-
hearsed After handing over the watch. deed to

Only 81 per cent of rabbits died when the body
temperature reduced TO 25 degrees Centigrade
which equals % degrees Fahrenheit.

low temperature changes completely the nature of

death. The glands of animals exposed to cold be

CLAIMS that the weather and numerous other
~ terrestrial phenomena associated with it are
controlled by 23-year cycle corresponding to the
sunspots are repeated and further elaborated IN a
report made public by DR.. Charles G. Abbot, secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution
DR.. Abbot one of the worlds most distinguished
astronomers has devoted his major efforts in recent
years to establishing the Qnnecton between terres-
trial weather and the solar output of energy.
He believes that he has found a 23year cycle cor
responding to the socalled Hale magnetic sunspot
cycle Sunspots go from minimum to maximum and
back to minimum in approximately 1lia years but
because of a reversal in magnetic polarity in each
cycle it takes ordinary cycles to make one mag
netic cycle.
The United States Weather Bureau has insisted
that it find proof for the existence OF 23-
year cycle in the weather
DR. ABBOT reveals number of weather FORE
- casts which he had made for 1884 on the basis
of this 23-yesr-old cycle and the extent to which
they agreed with actual weather conditions during
the year During the past year. the forecasts were
locked in safe at the Smithsonian Institution.
Discussing them now, DR.. Abbot says that 81 per
cent of them were excellent and hit the nail
the head" For example, his predicted curves for
the temperature Of Helena, Mont, and the rain
fall of Chicago fitted the actual curves almost
acty.
The accuracy of these 81 per cent. Dr. Abbot
thinks were far beyond the probabilities of pure
chance that would ridiculous to attribute them
to it.
He describes additional AZ per cent of the FORE
casts good" They predicted surprisingly closely
the general trend of the weather without achieving
extraordinary exactness the first 81 per cent.
Another II per cent of the forecasts showed
fair fit with the actual weather for the first half Of
the year. but deviated widely for the other half.
The final II per cent, DR.. Abbot admits frankly.

One veteran counselor suggested that effort
might be made to interest Herbert in collecting post

WALPI. HOPI RESERVATION,
Ariz., Aug. 20-Priests of the Hopi
snake fraternity today hunted the

Olympic committee has no right to commit Amer

League of Nations thinks about
slavery and what has been prom
ised.
The question of the Moslem
faith is not a small one in EthiO-
pia. Out of it's 100000 people,
probably half profess the Chris
tan faith. But the darker races,
the Gallas, the Danakils and the
SOmaliS, do not.
A considerable number of the
people are pagans. But most of
those who do not belong to the
Christian church are Moslems.
Ras Tafsri made war upon En-
peror Lii because he was supposed
to have reverted to the Moslem
faith of his fathers.
But though a pious, practicing
Christian himself, the emperor
has been clever enough to prac-
tice tolerance to all religions.
Moreover, he has gone out of his
way to weld the Moslem faithful
to the throne.
TINE results since his trouble
Il with Italy have been mani
fold. The Italian army has had
difficulty in getting Moslem labor
ers from Egypt or the Samali
coast. Furthermore, popular opin-
ion in Egypt and most of the
neighboring Moslem lands has
been favorable to Ethiopia as
against Italy.
There was something rather pa
thetic in Selassie's recent abortive
appeal to the United States to use
its good Offices in his present
Italian imbroglio. The background
is this:
Knowing something of the va
rious secret treaties France, Italy
and Britain made regarding his
country, the emperor once said
there was only one great nation in
world that he trusted-the United
States
He knew America did nc' want
to grab any Ethiopian rritOry.
One of the emper 5 jobs is to
be a sort of Sur me Court of
Ethiopia. At tin IS in the courts

Bible days. A brown-faced judge

students.
2. Work-relief jobs. part time,
to college students at SIS month.
3. Similar aid to college grad
yates who can't find jobs and
want to continue with post-grad-
uate courses.
This leaves s22,OOO.OOO for all
other categories of youth, in
Guiding youngsters who have had
little or no schooling and the
thousands of boys who are hitch
hiking over the country.
This is the group which is
worrying Mr.. Williams. To de-
eide on a definite program he
has been getting acquainted with
youngsters at transient camps.
What would you do. boys, if
you were me?" he asks. How
would you run the show?"
Unanimously they tell him they
don't want to be sent home, and
most of them say they don't want
to go to school any more.
This is about the only inspira-
ton they have TO offer. So, Mr..

HALLE SELASSIE | Of
Ethiopia a n d Premier
Benito Mussolini Of Italy,
hurting war-like words at
each other across the Med
iterranean, present a strik-
ing picture of contrasting
personalities.
Mussolini is of peasant blood.
Selassie comes from family OF
rulers. Mussolini fought in one
war-the World War-rising to
the grade of corporal. Selassie
has fought in many rebellion wars
in his own country. but knows
little or nothing of what war with
modern murdermous weapons can
be.
In case of war. MussOlini would
sit in Rome, but Selassie, after
the medieval habit of his race,
would lead his troops into battle.
Mussolini is an educated man Of
the world, who speaks Italian,
French, German and English, has
worked in various countries beside
his native Italy. has in his time
welded a trenchant editorial pen,
built up the powerful Fascist or
ganization, held crowds by his or
atory and proved cool and wise
in international conferences.
Halle Selassie is an educated
man only by Ethiopian standards.
He speaks Amharic and French.
He knows the outside world by a
brief trip to Europe in 1924. He
has led his people rather as a
fighting man than as an orator.
NHUSSOLINI is typically Ital-
1V1 ian. Selassie is not typically
Ethiopian, for in his country
there are many races. But he is
representative of the ruling class.
He is small in stature, with the
delicate hands of an artist. His
features are also delicately carved
with decided Semitic caste. The
skin is the color of browning an
cient ivory. His voice is soft and
we'll modulated.
He is a pious Christian accord
ing to the ancient form practiced
in his country and whose church
is akin to and connected with the
Coptic Church of Egypt
The Emperor's piety is declared
to be exemplary. Each day. as
sisted by the Father of his Soul"
he spends an hour at his devo-
tiOnal exercises. He observes the
many and rigorous fasts pre-
scribed by his church.
With him it is genuine religion,
but if it were not, it would be de-
cidedly good policy, because the
clergy are a mighty and powerful
element in the country.

Il of religion with his devotion

scendants of King Solomon and
Balkis, Queen of Sheba.
IN many ways, Ethiopia seems
u to have the Old Testament law
of an eye for an eye and tooth
for a tooth. Where a murder has
been committed, the relatives of
the murdered person often may
exact and even execute the death
penalty, or let the criminal off
with a money payment.
One day a peculiar case came
up before Halle. A young woman
was strolling in the cool of the
evening. A man was up in the
top of tree gathering some fruit.
He missed his footing, fell. struck
the girl and killed her. The fam
lily demanded life for life.
Very we'll" said Solomon-like
SelaSsie. you shall have his life,
but the father of the girl shall ex-

ecute him. And he shall do so
even as the girl lost her life. He
will go to the top of the tree and
fall down on the young man, kill
ing him thus in the name of the
law"
The family concluded it would
not insist upon the death penalty.
One more thing to complete his
biography: In 1912 he married
Waizeru Mennen, who was kin to
the Emperor Lii whom he de-
throned four years later. The
marriage has proved a happy one
and has been blessed with two
sons and three daughters.
The eldest son and heir to the
throne is Asia Wossen, who was
born July 81, 1916 He was mar
ried in 1882 to Princess Wolata
Israel, daughter of the powerful
Ras Sayoum.
