Abbott Makes Another
Present To Hampton


HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. =
The Library has recently received
a very generous gift from Mr.. Ro-
bert Sengstal1e Abbott of Chicago
of three beautiful oriental rugs
for the Leonora E. Heron Brows-
ing Room. Mr.. Abbott is founder
and president of the Chicago De-
fender and president of the Robert
S. Abbott Publishing Company and
is an alumnus of Hampton Insti-
tute. When he came to Hampton
last spring he visited the Library,
and was much interested in the
Browsing Room and spoke of the
need of rugs to make it more home
like and cheerful. This gift has
added greatly to the attractiveness
of the room.
1t should be remarked that Mi.
Abbott is not only a most loyal
alumnus of Hampton Institute, in
word and attitude. but that he Is
constantly seeking ways by whici
he can help advance its interest.
Not many of the thousands Of
persons who sit every year in the
large athletic field where the In
stitute's football games are played,
gre aware that Mr.. Abbott made
a donation of $1,000 toward the
initial expenses of that spacious
arena.
It is also reported that he gave
the $500 prize for a contest which
resulted in the writing of the Al
ma Mater song.
That Hampton appreciates Mr.
Abbott's loyalty and success is
shown by sketch of him which
appears in a little booklet recently
issued by the school, in which are
described the achievements of GER
tain Hampton graduates. Under
the title, "A Printer Who Found

Special Feature Writer

NEW YORK = The Ethiopian
Legation in London, England,
headed by DR.. A. w. c. Martin,
has received a report from a young
Ethiopian woman who was in
Harrar when the Italians occupied
the city and later in Adds Ababa
up to September, and who manag-
ed to get out Of the country, ac-
cording to an exclusive story pub
lished in New Times and Ethiopia
News of London. The statement,
which gives a graphic account OF
what is happening under Italian
occupation, and which is nolSnown
to the general press because of the
strict italian censorship, is told as
follows:
"Since the fall of Adds Ababa,
food has become very scarce on
accound of the Italians forcing the
Gallas, who bring supplies to the
market. to accept paper money in
lire.
"If a Gala peasant refused to
accept lire the Italians took all
the man had and sent him to pris-
on for three or four days
ION account of this no Gala
peasant brings any foodstuffs to
the capital, therefore the price of
all necessaries has risen five or six
fold. For instance, before the L
Italian occupation of Adds Ababa,
one could buy a chicken for two
or three piastres, whereas today
one has to pay thaler (16 pias-
tres), or five lire, to get similar
chicken.
"Food is so scarce in Adds Alb
aba that a family is allowed to
buy five kilograms of flour week
from the Indian firm of Moham-
med Ali and Co. The populations
Of Harrar and Dire Dawa are fed
from British Somaliland.

Parents and Daughters

Eighteen year old Elizabeth
sn1ith of the Bronx, N. Y, is =
trial for her life On trial for kali
ing her illegitimate child at birth
or so they claim. Her parents
and not the poor, frail ignorant
Elizabeth should be on trial.
Why did disgrace and shame
and tragedy overwhelm this girl ?
Not alone because of the rape by
q brutal man, a friend of the fa-
mily for whom she minded chill
dren, though that was bad en-
ough. But she is in her present
desperate situation mainly because
her parents failed in their duty to
her. She was afraid, she says, to
tell her father what had happened
to her. So she went on month af-
ter month, alone and Mortified I'M
til that final fatal night when the
baby came while she writhed I'M
assisted on the bathroom floor of
her parents Bronx flat.
What Fathers Owe Daughters
Her father was a good man, I'M
doubtedly. Elizabeth says she low
ed him but feared him more. You
know the type. They look upon
themselves as vastly superior tc
the weaker" sex, their daughter
they regard as eternal spinsters.
They live under the same roof
with them for twenty years with
out ever once speaking a frank
and honest word to them of fun
damental facts. Such fathers, an
the world is still full of them, can
cause more havoc than all of the
rapists in the world. Their hypo-
crisy and evasion of the truth can
make emotional cripples of all of
their womenfolk. Makes prudes
and neurotics of their daughters,

invalids of their wives. Finally,
they send their daughters out into
life unequipped in any way to be-
come sound, healthy mothers and
wives. And so emotional misery
is passed on from generation t.
generation.
More than likely, too, this same
father is no saint in his own right.
But he would keep his womenfolk
sterile in mind and in body. He
makes them, as it were, atone for
his own lapses. This vicariour
virtue allows him to feeel he is
doing his part to maintain the de-
cency of society AS matter o.
fact, he is helping it to rot at its
very core.
New Trends in Child Training

of it, but there is new trend in

L ENDS SENATE;
SETS UP UNICAMERAL
LEGISLATURE

By A. F. Of l.. News Service.
The Dali E%ireann, by the decisive
vote Of 70 10 81 has abolished the Sen
ate of the Irish Free State Parliament.
The Dali Eireann is the equivalent to
the Chamber Of Deputies in other par
liaments and to the House Of Repres-
entatives in the Congress of the United
States.
The present bicameral parliment is
ended by the act, which was requested
by President canon de Valera. 1t will
be replaced with a unicameral legisla-
ture, similar to the established by
the labor government of the state of
Queensland, Australia, some years ago
and more recently by the State Of Ne
braska, where its strong advocate was
United States Senator George W..
Norris.
In the Irish Free State the Dali
Edreann passed a similar abolition mea-
sure last year, but it was vetoed by the
Senate. According to the Irish consti-
tuition, however, the power of the SEN
ate TO hold up legislation was limited
to l8 months. This period expired
"a. Consequently the SEN
abolition Measure becomes a law 90
lays after it is signed by De Valera,
regardless of any action the Senate
nay take.

ORGANIZED LABOR
SUPPORTS UNION
MADE CLOTHING
Nation Wide Response Meets
Plea of Amalgamated Clothing
Workers for Support of Cloth
ing Strikers.

Cincinnati, Q. - As the strike OF the
three hundred Cincinnati clothing
workers OF the Hamilton Tailoring
Company, the Lauer Tailoring Com
pany, the Brighton Tailoring Company,
the Robert Tailoring Company, and the
Ohio Custom Garment Company STREET
ches into the third wintry month, the
militant spirit of the strikers is receiy-
ing great impetus from the support be-
ing extended to them by organized
labor everywhere.
Greatest response to the Amalgama-
ted Clothing Workers of Americas ap-
peal to the labor movement for moral
support to the strikers is coming par
ticularly from the locals of the United
Miners, the Brewers, the Ladies Gar
ment Workers, while Central Labor
Unions everywhere have enthusiastical-
" entered into the campaign to buy
union made mems clothing only.
The %sweatshop bosses are ganging up
together in the hope of crushing the
organizational spirit of their striking
workers. Thugs, imported scabs, pro-
fessional union busting lawyers have
been hired by the gang of sweatshop
bosses to help defeat the Amalgamated.
Anthony Pesa, a leading striker, has
just received a five day jail sentence,
to add to the growing number of jail
sentences melted out by local courts to
the more militant strikers.
Despite the elaborate efforts of the
bosses and their henchmen, the strikers
are determined to hold out until they
win. Their determination increases as
they witness the fine solidarity Of labor,
being shown by veteran ~unionists all
over the country, in the nation wide
campaign Of labor to buy Union Label
mems clothing.
The Storrs- Schaefer Company, the
Windsor Tailoring Company, the P. H.
