tual history only IN the sixteenth
century of our era when Portu-
guese explorers reached 1t. At
times Portuguese kings sent troops
to help the people of Ethiopia re-
pei MoSlem invaders.
The history of the country was
a confused and contradictory
chronicle of the struggles of the
rulers of the various provinces to
become top dog Chief of these
provinces were Tigre in the north,
Amhar in the center, Gojam in
the northwest and Shoa in the
south.
Leadership usually fell to the
ruler of Amfar, who had the
stoutest warriors, and he became
Negusa Nagart-King of Kings.
TN modern times the first note
Il worthy figure was Theodore
the Third, born in 1918, who,
starting out as son of small chief,
made himself emperor. He made
the mistake of imprisoning some
Britons.
England sent an expeditionary
force under Sir Robert Napier,
who in 1867 captured and de-
stroyed Theodores stronghold
town of Magdala and the emperor
killed himself.
The greatest king was Menelik
the Second, born in 1912. Son of
the King of Shoa, he led trou-
bled life under Theodore, who had
conquered his father.
But upon TheodOreS death,
Menelik had made himself strong
enough to proclaim himself sue
cessor to the throne of all Eth
opia. 1t was Menelik, who signed
a treaty with the Italians, who by
this time had colonies in Eritrea
and Somaliland.
The Italians claimed the treaty
gave them a protectorate over
Ethiopia. This Menelik denied
and the two countries soon were
at war, resulted in a terrible de-
feat of the Italians at Adowa in
March, 1896.
In the peace treaty which was
assigned at Adds Ababa, the COM
plete independence of Ethiopia
was recognized by Italy.
n
old MENELIK had a way
~ with him. In his own coun-
try one of the powerful chieftains
was a certain Ras Ali, ruler of
Wolles, who refused to recognize
Menelik as his leader.
In the short campaign which
followed RaS Ali was captured. He
was a Moslem. All the greatest

If II Duce's potential foe, En-
peror Halle Selassie 1 of Ethiopia,
cared to do so, he could go Mus
solini not one but a half-dozen
better.
The beginnings of Ethiopian
history, like those Of olden Rome,
are wrapped in the mists of le-
gend. but the Ethiopian legends
go back even farther in time
They 90 back, in fact. to the Old
Testament. Halle Selassie's people
claim descent from Cush, who was
son of Ham, who in turn was son
Of Noah They maintain that the
word Ethiopian" appearing in
the Septuagint and the Vulgate, is
the translation of "Cushites."
The Ethiopians set forth that
the Queen of Sheba, mentioned in
the Bible, was a sovereign Of their
country and that, out of the love
that King Solomon bore her, grew
the son from whom are descended
the actual rulers of the Ethiopia
of this very hour.
The legend goes farther and
says that when Sheba and Solo
mons son escaped from the land
of the Hebrews, he took with him
the very Ark of the Covenant and
that this still today is in possess
sion of the land of the EthiopS
Solomon flouriShed in the tenth
century B. Ca period when
Rome was not even collection Of
mud hutS.
EVEN today the story Of Ethio-
~ pia has not been worked out
completely, but roughly it goes
something like this:
Far back in time the land was
conquered by the Egyptians, be-
came one of their provinces and
paid an annual tribute of oxen,
gold, ivory, hides and slaves to
the Pharaohs.
In the Eleventh Century B. G.
the Philippians successfully re-
volted, achieved their freedom
and in the Eighth Century &C
tually for time held Egypt as
conquered land The Egyptians
later were freed, but Ethiopia re-
manned independent thereafter.
In biblical times, when Jerus-
alem was taken and the Jews led
into captivity. many of them es-
capped and settled in Ethiopia.
II
WITH the rise OF the MOslems
w in Arabia and their sweep
through the Near East, Ethiopia
was cut off from the world for a
thousand years. The great his

that land were forgetful of the

Ali chose to live and become the
Ras Mikael. When Menelik died
in 1913, he designated Mikael's
son, his grandson, Lii Jasu, to be
his successor.
T II had short shrift. He was
IL absolute, he antagonized
many of the chiefs and, worst Of

Abuna, or head of the Christian
church. excommunicated Lii in

The StreptococcuS is not really lust one germ.
but wide variety of germs possessing the one char
acterlSuc of growing in chains. Under various con-
dtionS OF growth however they change their nature
and bring about diseases of different types
IL IS now generally conceded that a StreptocoCcus
Is responsible for erySpelaS and that another strep
tOcoccS causes scarlet fever But scientists are not

that attacks women in childbirth in all sorts of

As evidence of the fact that these germs are not

specialist points out that there are no records of
epidemicS in which patients had scarlet fever
others eTySipeaS I'd still others both diseases.
There are very few instances indeed in which
erysipelas develops complication of scarlet fever
Out Of almost $500 of scarlet fever there were
only SIX IN which erysilepas appeared as complica-

What is known about these streptococci permits
scientists to study the nature of live organisms.

in Puerto Rico and that children with this disease
tend 70 get better in that climate.
Puerto Rican doctors point out. however that the

distinctive. and which probably are related to the
fact that the conditions in Puerto Rico for the

A MERICA needs to learn the proper of the
tooth brush. Therein lies the greatest hope for
preserving the teeth Of the nation Improper use Of
the toothbrush is the largest factor in the appalling
increase in dental cares or tooth decay today.
So says Dr. W. M Gardner assistant professor of
presentive dentistry at the Western Reserve Univer
sity Dental School,
"A person who brushes his teeth in an efficient
manner for sufficient length of time, twice day
without exception, is making use of the most prac-
teal method of dental disease prevention that the
dental profession has at its command at the present
time DI. Gardner says.
Three minutes brushing, twice day, is sufficient
for the person Who has regular teeth and no disease
10 brush teeth.
toothbrush designs have been patented. He advises
the use of a small brush with fairly stiff brstles
In using the brush, he says, a back and forth
movement an up and down movement, or rotary
movement are sufficient. These clean only three Of
the five exposed surfaces of each tooth.
THE ordinary methods of brushing the teeth sue
i coed in cleansing only the surface toward the
cheek or lips the surface toward the tongue, and
the grinding chewing surfaces.
The surfaces between the teeth are not cleaned
by the ordinary methods and these surfaces, DR..
Gardner says, are the ones which most of the de-
cay takes place.
To reach these surfaces, Dr. Gardner, writing in
Hygeia advises the following method which ne calls
the "ABC of proper brushing:
The bristles of the brush placed at right
angles the teeth where the gum tissue meets the
tooth The brush rests entirely the teeth, not
the teeth and gum tissue Pressure is then gently,
but firmly, applied so that the ends Of the bristles
slide off of the prominent parts of the teeth and
penetrate into the spaces between them.
AS they penetrate the sides of the bristles come
in contact with the gum tissue and compress it. A
slight wriggling or yibratory movement is then
started. being taken to restrict the movement
sufficiently and to maintain enough pressure to keep
the brises in the spaces into which they have been
forced.
in the wriggling vibratory movement, the ends
of the bristles do in little circles. but be-
cause of the exbility of the bristles chisel IN and
out between the teeth This chseling action of the
ends of the bristles is most efficient in disturbing
and dislodging acid factories and deposits from be-
