WAR REPORTS CONFLICT

The present warfare in Ethiopia is
rather difficult to follow with certainty
The official statements of the two nations
invol> cd Italy and Ethiopia, are very con-
Trajectory at times and leaves much to be
desired from a standpoint of frankness.
Thi. is nothing new in warfare. The
reading public experienced the same doubt
many stages as the communicates of the
various governments claimed too much, de-
MED reports of their adverSareS and some
times omitted reference to important
events.
So it is to one trying to follow the
military campaign in Ethiopia. Recently,
both sides claimed decided advantages in
the northern sector, in the Tembien re-
giOn. The Italians got to the press with
the first report of an offensive which they
undertook to forestall an Ethiopian attack,
claiming that they killed 10000 soldiers of
the Emperor with a loss of only 743 for
themselves.
The Ethiopian leaders claimed to have
reganed the initiative, to have routed
superior forces, killing 5000 Italians
against only 100 of their own soldiers,
specifically claiming the capture of thirty
three field guns, seventy-five machine
guns, $500 rifles and eighteen tanks.
All of which suggests that reports of
military operations by belligerents should
be taken with several grains of the pro-
verbal salt.

81 KNOW YOU AND YOU KNOW ME"

The above might be good slogan for
the business people of Key West to have
in small type some where in every ad. On
cards about the store and in the store win
dow it would be wholesomely suggestive.
The business man you know and who
knows you would not be so foolish even if
he were dishonest enough to do what cured
one man of buying from mail order houses
whose managers he didn't know and who
would probably high-hat him if they met
on the street.
This former mail-Order buyer ordered
what appeared to be fine, colorful, all
wool lumber-jack. He looked forward
eagerly to its arrival He thought how
proud he would be to wear it in the pres
ence of his fellow workers.
When the package finally arrived
and he opened it his spirits dropped. They
sent a substituted drab dirty gray af.
fair. But-here is what incensed him and
cured him of reading bargain" catalogs.
A note accompanying the garment said,
1--WE were out of the 1898 coat which you
ordered but rather than disappoint you we
are sending your size in our number so and
SO. This fine garment is from our $500
stock"
Now had the purchaser known the
substituting tactics of this house he would
not have ordered. Had the house known
this customer and his experience with
wooden goods they would not have tried to
slip one of their lower grade long-profit
garments over on him as though it were
higher grade one.
The local merchant who knows you
and whom you know would have better
sense than to wilfuly sell inferior goods
at long profit. His number of customers
is limited. The next time he meets you he
wants you to feel right toward him.
But since you know him personally
you know he wouldn't resort to such
tactics-even if he could 'get away with
it,

READING PROVOKES THINKING

Among the 1886 resolutions that you
probably forgot to make ought to have
been one that you would read sensible
book, on a sensible subject, at least every
month.
When a man or woman takes a year
to write book on any subject, those in
terested in the topic ought to be able to
stand the work for several hours, without
brainfag.
There are entirely too many people in
Key West who take it for granted that
they can learn everything that is worth
knowing from current comment related by
gossipping friends.
Thinking is what makes men amount
to something. The more the people of a
community think the better and the more
prosperous that community is You needn't
ask us to prove that statement We
haven't the time and doubt if we have the
brains, but it is the truth, all the same.

Two thoughts of moment are before
the American people at the present time:
Where will the bonus money come from,
and after it has arrived where will it go?
Every business man is specializing how
much of the billions will come his way
There is so much of It, that everybody in
every walk of life will benefit to some de-
gree. After the deluge of dollars comes
the day of reckoning.

That was record any other team would have been proud to have assembled, yet, to Pitt. 1t was 8 mediocre re- cord. Pitt has appeared three times in the Rose Bowl, has shown an ability to handle the great Notre Dame and Nebraska teams with regular success, and has won the mythical grid championship of the East six times since 1924 Gin 1925, 1927, 1929, 1881, 1882, and 193D Since 1924. Pitt has dropped only two of forty-fiye November games When Fcrdham blanked the Pam liners last season, 1t was the first time a Pitt team had ben held score less by an eastern opponent in seven years. All the games on Fotdhanns suicide schedule are tough. but Pitt is the toughest.
