 With the Ethiopian Army, Harar Oct. e(UP) -- Dedjazmatch Mas. sibu, commanding the southern Ethiopian army, charged today that the Italians were using gas in theil invasion of Ogden.
 Bursting aerial bombs, he tolc the United Press, had blanketec 8 wide area with a thick yellow gas causing soldiers and non-com- batants to fall to the ground anC suffer painfully"
 From the descriptions of the ga. reaching him from the front, ht said, he believed the gas being usee was mustard gas.
 "The Italian use of gas," said thu veteran Ethiopian commander, f incredible and disgusting" A few of the Ethiopian regulars holding the front lines on the southern front have gas masks. But most of the irregulars in the region of Gorrahei and Gerlogubi, however are defenseless against gas. The defenders of the Ogaden front, exultant at the prospect of battle, moved out of this strategic city to-day in secret to meet the invad- CTS. Movements of Halle Selas- sie's warriors from Harar, from Ji- jiga and in the vicinity of Cor rahei are, for obvious strategic req sons, being kept from the knowledge of all foreigners in accordance with strict imperial orders.
 AS Italian columns commanded by Gen. Rodolphio Graziani were reported advancing to meet the troops of Dedjazmatch Nassibu in what promises to be one of the bloodiest battles of this undeclared war, 100000 rounds of ammuni- tion distributed among the soldiers charged with defending Ogaden. Nassibu, whose field headquarters are somewhere north of Jijiga, in- formed me that his troops are un- daunted by intensive Italian air raids. Thousands of troops, con- centrated around Gorrahei, one of the strongest outposts of Jijiga, strategically abandoned their trenches in accordance with a pre-

approximately 3,470 miles in three hops. They are:
 London-Londerderry (Northern Ireland, BIO miles.
 Londonderry-Port Botwood (New- foundlandD, 2,060 miles.
 Port Botwood-New York, HOO miles.
 The southern route, to be taken in winter when bad weather vir- tually bars the northern one, will be in four hops:
 London Gibraltar.
 Gibraltar Azores.
 Azores Bermuda.
 Bermuda New York.
 This route, which also has an ocean hop of more than 1000 miles, will be about 2,000 miles longer than the northern course. If pres- ent plans materialize, 1t will be op- erated alternately by the British government-subsidiZed Imperial ] Airways and Pan-American Air ways, which already has a regular service between New York and Ber- muda.
 It is understood, however, that last-minute weather reports may divert planes from the northern to the southern route even in the sum- mer months when the weather can be far from fair over the North Atlantic.
 Air Bases Surveyed A preliminary report on the po- tentialities of Londonderry as a trans Atlantic airport and seaplane base has been made to the British Air Ministry by Maxwell Ayrton, architect of the British Empire Ex- hibition at Wembley in 1923. He estimated that a suitable airport could be established there for about $150,O00. The Irish Free State has also put forward the claims of Gal- way in Free State territory as an- other possible port of call at this end of the Atlantic hop.
 Two experts from the British Air Ministry, I. H. Mcclure and M. R. Banks, have conducted similar survey in Newfoundland and re- ported in favor of Port Botwood as a seaplane base. The airdrome will probably be at Glenwood, near Cobb's Camp.
 Meanwhile tenders have been in- vited for the construction of sea- plane base in Bermuda, probably on one of the smaller islands. Plane Type Uncertain
 It has not yet been decided def- initely whether airplanes or flying boats will be used on the Imperial Airways Atlantic services. It is believed, however, that airplanes will be used on one route and fiy- ing boats on the other. The Short Aircraft company is planning to build a flying boat of 200 tons and 30,000 horsepower designed to with Stand any weather normally en- countered over the Atlantic. Owing

Tubby. Only, you're really wrong
about Douglas Marsh"
That's what you say. Bye"
Tubby turned into the Inn for
her possible-but not probable
glimpse of the glamorons Lolita
MonteZ.
Alone, 10 walked slowly down
the lake path. Contrary to Tub
bys remark, the night was not at
ali chilly. Amusedly 10 told her
self that Tubby probably wanted
her to be alone, believing she was
half-planning to encounter Doug
las Marsh. Tubby was the grand
est person in the world when you
were in trouble; but at other
times she was likely to be just
the least bit difficult. Of course
she was wrong about Marsh-and
vet, what she had said about him
and Babs Montgomery was true.
10 herself had recognized that
the two were together not nearly
so much these days.
Hello 10"
Startled, she turned on the
path to see a figure in the shad-
owS behind her. She did not
recognize the voice at once, and
she wondered for { moment who

Tubby nodded. "All right. But
Pm not blind. He's been as cool
as a cucumber about Babs, and
she hasn't liked it. She's been
giving Bret Paul a rush, appar-
emily just to see if she can stir
Marsh a little, hut he won't stir"
81 think you've got things
wrong, Tubby. Babs always liked
Bret. You know that"
"Sure. But don't evev dream
she'd pass up chance to join
the Montgomery money with the
Marsh money. That would make
quite a pile of dough, YOU know. u
81 suppose it would" 10 said
wishing Tubby would stop hel
persistent probing. "What do you
say we take one Of the motor,
boats out? There's q moon, and
it should be nice on the lake to,
night ?"
"Not me. It's too darned chilly,
even if it is almost August. I'm
going to curl up in the lobby
with book-and maybe I'll get
glimpse of Lolita"

by the lake anyway, Tubby.'

to watch their diets! Then there
was Jarvis Maurice. a new Eng
lish actor who had just signed a
contract with Atlas after success
full stage work in London. The
third Of the principals was Johnny
Barley, the comedian who had
saved many a bad picture from
utter failure. Barley was a
short, sad-faced little man who,
off the screen, was anything but
comical.
Most of Drann's company was
composed of cameramen, sound
technicians, script clerks - and
even carpenters. For several sets
had to be built before the &C
tual shooting" began. The prin-
cipals stayed at the Inn, and the
others Marsh assigned to the cot
tageS.
Instantly the lake became a
hive of activity and the sound
of hammer and saw echoed and
reechoed. The guests, far from
Nresentlng the intrusion of the
Hollywood workers, welcomed
the diversion. They were all
eager participants when Dram
: would allow it, ana they were al
ways willing observers.
| II really haven't any use for a
hostess now" Marsh told 10 hui
imorously. Dram and his crew
of ants are keeping everyone
entertained in fine fashion,
While Dram drove his tech
nicians without mercy, the prin-
cipals were seldom seen. Lolita
Montez had gone to her room
upon her arrival and had hardly
been visible since. The English
man arose before dawn each
morning and tramped in the
woods alone, returning for a late
dinner in his room after dark.
Occasionally 10 and Tubby caught
a glimpse Of Johnny Barley stalk
inc about the buildings morosely.
Usually he carried with him the
faint aroma of liquor.
"Tll never be able to believe
that man is funny again" Tubby
told 10. But what Tubby wor-
ried about mostly was Lolita
Montez's absence. "Whv doesn't
she show herself once in a while?
Is she high hat, on what?"

But Tubby got her reward at
last, for one night at dinner she
received a compliment from Silas
Dram, perhaps the greatest mo-
ton picture director in Holly
wood. She and 10 had come in
to the dining room late, after a
hard game Of tennis, and were
the only ones there. While they
were ordering dinner Silas Dram

less shirt open at the threat and
his golf trousers stained with
pitch.
"Ah :" he said, bowling low.
II should like to join you young
ladies'"
WED be delighted" 10 said,
and Tubby could only stare.
She stared a good deal during
the dinner, when finally, with
alarming suddenness, Dram turn
ed to her. 81 have noticed you,
Miss Davis, more than once. And

"Y-yes?" stammered Tubby.

force. 81 want to congratulate

looked at Tubby fiercely. "Do
you understand"

When the dinner was over, and
Dram, after a cigalet, had ex-
cused himself and stomped up to
his room, Tubby hesved a great
sigh. At sight Of Tubby's relief,
and remembering her wide-eyed
fearful establishment at Drann's
speech, 10 was beside herself
with amusement.
