 Undated, Nov. 29, East ern African warfare engen- dered new European un- rest today.
 Sources close to the gov- ernment of Mussolini said that forceful resistance might be expected if the League of Nations pressed for an extension of the sane tions.
 On the front, the Ethio- plan reports of victories on the southern front were fol lowed by a communication saying that a thousand It. alians occupying Makale, had retreated to Adigrat.
 Italian advises admitted that the Philippians were putting up a better, but in- effectual resistance.
 U. s. Taking Stand
 The United States ap- peared to be stiffening it's vigorous stand against the export of essential war materials. An authoritative source in Washington to- day indicated that a new step was under considera- ton for the creation of a system of quotas which would limit the shipment of cargoes such as oil, cop per, scrap iron and scrap steel to warning nations.
 General Aspects
 The league general staff of experts assembled to ex anime the general sane tions situation.
 The British cabinet met to debate the question of including such embargo penalties as are already as- sessed.
 Authoritative sources to day said that the question of cutting off oil shipments to Italy overshadowed all other developments, pre- Senting a new crisis for col lectiVe action.
 The spokesman for the Italian government said the addition of an oil and coal embargo would mean the slow Strangulation of the nation. He added that the longer Italy awaited the at tack by European nations, the weaker she would be at the critical point. It would be much better to face a showdown while It. ally is still fresh, he stated.

 The pair were last heard from last Saturday while flying toward the Bay of Whales, the former base for Admiral Byrd's base ship.
 A message said should no news be heard within the next day, it then only re- mains to carry out the meas ures outlined by Ellsworth in a statement left at the ship, in which he outlined his procedure in the event of a forced landing and an inability to send communi- cations"

apparently felt that the demonstration had
gone on long enough. She stopped abruptly
in her tracks. MIR. Smith h-Smythe, having no
brakes on his skis, naturally kept going -
and crashed headlong against her launches.
The impact not only awakened Gladys from
her lethargy; it infuriated her. With an in
dignant whinny. she kicked up her heels and
headed for the open spaces with MIR. Smith
Smythe still clinging to the reins
For the next ten minutes we saw ski jump
ing such as we had never seen in the news
reels. At the stone wall beside the clubhouse
Gladys hesitated only for split second and
then cleared it as neatly as any greyhound.
Her driver did likewise; the tip of one ski
licked the top of the wall as he went over,
but he landed standing up and SKINNED after
her like shadow.
Both were silhouetted clearly against the
snow as they bounded across the white ex-
panse of the golf course. We saw Mr.. Smith
Smythe rise in the air like kite when Gladys
yanked him over bunker. We saw him vanish
into snow filled sand trap, and emerge mir
aculously with the reins still in his grasp. And
then we saw him no more, for horse and
driver disappeared around bend.

across the porch As he started to descend the
steps sidewise, the tip of his left ski snagged
the door-mat and he clattered down the full
flight backwards landing on all fours in a
puddle of slush.

it refused to stop until he was flat on his

lessly, struggling into an upright position and
taking few tentative steps across the snow.
"You will observe that have fallen down
twice without hurting myself. That is because
l know how to relax. It's all a matter of
-Oop!' Both skis skidded sidewise unex
pectedly and MIR. th-Smythe went down
with crash of splintering hickory
This time it was obvious that he had neg
lected to relax sufficiently. For fully half
minute he lay where he had fallen. Then
he gathered up the broken skis and limped
back to the clubhouse. That gives you a
rough if not downright brutal - idea of
how to start" he informed his audience
grimly Tomorrow I'll bring out my own skis
and show you something about skijorning."
The following morning MIR. Smith-Smythe
brought out not only his own skis but a large
gray mare named Gladys. Skijorning it seems,
is a sport like aquaplaning; but instead of
being hauled over the billows in the wake of a
boat, you are hauled over the snow-drifts in
the wake of horse The trick is to stay on
your own feet and keep off the horses feet.
And never cross your skis - except over the
mantelpiece.
The rest of us gathered on the snow-covered
lawn to watch MIR. Smith-Smythe take off
with Gladys. She wore heavy caulks on her
hoofs and lei Of sleigh-bells around her neck.
while MIR. Smith-Smythe on his skis stood
discreet distance behind her
This" he said nervously, lis what is
known as - whoa Gladys! = as skijorning.
1t is more restful than ordinary skiing, and
any number can whoa Gladys! Any num-
Der can"
But Gladys, made restive by her jingling
bells, decided that action would be more
enightening than mere words. She plunged
forward and trotted across the lawn at brisk
pace, pulling MIR. Smith-Smythe after her.

morning. Shortly after lunch, however, there
was familiar jingle of sleigh-bels in the
distance. Hurrying out on the porch, we saw
Mr.. Smith-Smythe and Gladys coming slowly
across the golf course. They were still ski
jorning, but this time it was MIR. Smith
Smythe who wore the caulks, while Gladys
wore the skis.
Hauling her after him like an diversified
hobby horse on rockers, he tottered across the
lawn and collapsed at the front steps. Turn
about is fair play" he gasped. Then he sank
into Inconsistencies.
Hell be all right tomorrow" said Mrs
Smith -Smythe reassuringly After hot bath
and good nights rest, he'll be ready to give
you another lesson in skiing"
But MIR. Smith -Smythe's recovery was not
as rapid as she had predicted. He did not
reappear at the clubhouse until one day last
week when by coincidence. a February
thaw had made skiing quite impossible. As
long as the sun shone he was his old self; but
late in the afternoon when the sky clouded up
and snow began to fall. he suffered a sudden
relapse and had to be taken home in an
ambulance
In the meantime, the rest of us are again
enjoying our winter sports vicariously through
the medium of the news-reel. Mr.. Smith
Smythe remains East Teabones champion
ski jumper. In fact, he jumps at the mere

"A AUcH has been written concerning the
MI effect of motion pictures upon the
AVA youthful mind. Reformers glare with
disapproval at the Wild Westerns, the Mae
Westerns, the gangster epics and other melo-
dramatic offerings of the Beverly Hll-Billies.
But no one seems to worry about the influence
of motion pictures = and particularly news
reels - upon the middle-aged mind.
At this time of the year, the newsreels are
giddy with glimpses of fancy skaters, tobog-
gan races and ski tournaments. They may be
the same old pictures we saw last year and
the year before. But their atmosphere of
wholesome hilarity. spiced with danger, is in
fectious; even that spill at the air-pin curve
of the toboggan Slide in which several Nor
wegians broke their necks, seems quite jolly
when viewed on the screen.
The insidious feature of these films is that
they put young ideas into heads that haven't
worn stocking cap since the spring of 'O9.
They make it all look so easy
But for the news-reels, Mrs. mith-Smythe
probably would never have succeeded in
arousing any interest in skiing at the East
Teabone country club this winter. She and
her husband were the only people in town
who had ever actually participated in this
perilous pastime. They had been to St. Moritz.
Mrs Smith-Smythe called ski ''she" -
which was correct, no doubt, though it
sounded rather personal Mr. Smith-Smythe
called ski something else which sounded
even more personal. 1t was evident that the
Smith -Smythes' visit to St. Moritz had been
strain on the family hyphen.
But when Mrs. Smith -Smythe suggested
that the covered golf course be utilized
for winter sports, the rest of US agreed enthu
siastically, and even her husband admitted
that the idea had possibilities. What with the
bunkers and the hazards and the rolling fair
ways, there was almost as much Typographical
variety as Switzerland could offei.
And that steep approach to the seventh
green, with the ravine on the other side, i" said
Mrs. Smith-Smythe, "ought to make perfect
take-off for ski jumping"
Maybe we'd better stay on level ground
for while at first" her husband suggested.
Remember, these folks have never done any
skiing before"
We'll, you can teach them, dear, !" said Mrs.
Smith -Smythe airily. "Just show them how
YOU did it at St. Moritz."
MIR. Smith-Smythe seemed reluctant to
share the secrets of his art. But when we all
assembled at the clubhouse next morning,
dressed for battle with the elements and
each with pair of shiny new skis the role
of mentor was forced upon him. He borrowed

Primitive Lamps
 Great Stone Age
 Used By Eskimos
Most Necessary to Comfort Of the Northland Tribes And Was One of Most
 Cherished Possessions

The necessity of warmth and light, without question, was one of the greatest prim tive needs of the stone age of the Eskimos. Without the lamp there was no possible way to combat the rigor and darkness of the long Arctic winters. Was it any wonder that on their household uten- sil. in fact, it's most cherish ed possession, all domestic and social life was focused.
 And yet, the necessity of light and heat was really of secondary importance. With out the lamp their drinking water would have been im- possible to obtain from ice
 and snow. Besides that it was indispensable for drying the clothes Gan Eskimo would freeze in wet clothing), This was done by hanging the cloth ing on a rack or frame built over the lamp. It was also very useful in making imple- ments, such as snowshoes, sleds and many others. The making of these implements was greatly aided by dipping in water or urine and slowly steaming over the lamp until the material became flexible. The bone, ivory and deer horn were all similarly treat ed. A lamp burning brightly was a sign of prosperity. On the other hand as the lamp consumed great deal of fat and fat was an important ar ticle of diet among the nativ- es, the. dim, flickering lamp

It was the woman's work to ob- tain oil from the seal and Walrus fats although a very inferior substitute was some- times obtained from the fat of the reindeer or polar bears. This fat was usually render ed by an old woman taking the blubber in her mouth and and chewing it, squirting the oil in a small wooden vessel and draining it into the mem- brane of a walrus or seal stom ach.
 The lamp wick was made from finely powdered or twisted moss. The moss was placed in long ridge on the lowest part of the lamp and a piece of bone shaped like a long, narrow spoon was us- ed for trimming it.

 It is surprising that the lamp figured largely in all re- ligious and festive gatherings. Oral history still preserves the names of ancient native women who won fame for their skill in procuring a max imum of light and heat from a minimum amount of oil.
