 Europeans were first to scent danger in the dollars future. They sold dollars heavily. Then New York took up the selling. The pound ster. ling climbed above 96 for the first time since late 1884.

on or about the first week in Feb- ruary. The publication of these dates is of great interest to the many teachers in Waterbury who have attended this summer session In great numbers in past years.
 This years schedule Is not com- plete but 1t has been announced that Q number of courses have been included for teachers who are working toward a Bachelor of Edu- cation degree under the direction of the State Board of Education. The dates set aside for the purpose of registering have been extended this yaer and include Q span of four days, from June 28 through to June 30. It Is suggested, in the recent release, that all registration be forwarded by mail, if possible.
 For teachers who either reside within the state or who teach here and for all persons under contract to teach here, the tuition fee has been set at ten dollars. This in. cludes registration fee. When sum- AuCA oGSoAOA4 ASCU W0o AAAOU AkAdUtS u- rated in the state more than twenty-five years ago, the courses of instruction embraced but a small part of the extensive curric- ulum of to-day. No less thar twenty-four tentative courses of in- struction are planned for the com- ing summer and the only reason they have been listed as being ten- tative is because of lack of reg istration data. If there are not a sufficient number of teachers to take any particular course the di- rectors of the session do not inc clude 1t in the curriculum. The present schedule includes, aside from what are more commonly known as standard subjects, courses in health education, industrial arts. mental hygiene, methods, sociol- ogy, supervision and Q course in tests and measurements.

 New York, Jan. 25.-(UP).- Pub lie utility issues led Q rally on the stock exchange today after the list had sagged on the higher margin ruling of the federal reserve.
 Some selling came from Europe which interpreted the margin ad- vance as bearish. In Wall street the interpretation for the long run was bullish. The trading element con- cluded the reserve knew of some radical monetary change ahead and was seeking means of ctlrbing in advance @ wild bull market.
 Shorts covered commitments as rulnors spread that some import ant government announcement would be forthcoming over the weekend. The oftenest heard re- port was that something would be done of silver despite the state- ment of President Roosevelt yes- terday. Silver shares rallied after a sharp setback in early trading.
 Electric Power & Light reached a new high at 9 3-8 up 7-8. Its pre- ferred made good top at 4o 3-4 up g l-4. Standard Gas 6 per cent pre- ferred hit 34 up 3 and new top. Peoples Gas jumped more than ? points.

NNgSsebsAaes99 ee0eAb G0MU SeI ~-.s---~-s~~-~--.-~-.--~ slump in the dollar and fears of monetary and credit imitation,
 Raising of the requirtnents gen. orally was unexpected in govern mental and financial circles in view of the recent statement of Federal Reserve board chairman, Mariner g. Eccles, that the rise in the secur- ity markets was healthy and fi- nanced largely by cash purchases.
 The action was taken without the knowledge of the securities and ex. change commission, which is charged with supervising the nations secur. ity markets.
 Chairman James M. Landis of the SEC declined to comment. Asked If he considered the action justified, he replied:
 For Federal Reserve
 That is a matter for the federal reserve board to answer"
 Neither was the treasury con- suited, 50 far as could be learned. Failure to consult other federal fis- cal departments would be most unusual" 1t was said.
 Under the new order c broker may lend Q customer up to 76 per cent of the current market price of a security, and thus require Q min. imum margin of 25 per cent, or he may decline to loan more than AS per cent, and thus require @ max tmum margin of '55 per cent. Most stocks are expected to fall in the latter class.
 Unusual attention was attracted to the order by reason of President Ro0sevclt's notice yesterday to four board members that they would not be re-appointed to the new board taking Ofiice Feb. l, the day the margin order becomes effective.
 Avoid Being Caught
 The action indicated that officials were trying to avoid being caught in any runaway market rise that might lead to speculative excesses and Q consequent slump. The fed- eral reserve system last drowned upon unusual security market buy. ing in the summer of 1883. when prices appeared headed toward 8 boom.
 In raising It's margin require- mentg the board laid down the fols lowing rules respecting the ii1axi- mum loan value on 6 security:
 "A-46 per cent of the current market value of the security, or
 "B-l00 per cent Of the lowest market value of the security com. puted at the lowest market price therefore during the period Of 30 calendar months immediately prior to the first day of the current month. but not moro than 7b per cent Of the current market value; provided, that until July 1. lo30, for the purpose Of this reguintion. the lowest price ct which . secure ity has sold on or after July 1, 1883. but prior to the first day Of the current month. shall he considered as the lowest market price of such security during the preceding 90 iaonths; and provided: that the lowest market price which could be used under the provisions Of this regulation during any calendar month meg be used during the first [ calendar days oe the succeeding calendar monln."

 Rome, Jan. 25-(Up)--More thar 5000 Philippians and 743 Italian and native troops have been killed or wounded in Q three day fight t the Tembien area on the mortimer front, 1t was announced today.
 Italian casualties included 2l white officers killed and ie wounded 30e white soldiers killed or wounded and BIO Eritrean troops killed ol wounded, 1t was said.
 Tn official Communique No. 106 Marshal Pietro Badoglio. comman. der of Italy's Hast African armies reported: 4

 Foil Ethiopians.
 while this eIneny offensive wal being prepared, our action was or. dered to begin to foil the Ethio. plans, on Jan. 10, the first army corps advanced southeast of Max. ale, occupying the villages of Debr1 and Negaida and thus avoiding tho possibility that the enemy forces before Antalo could penetrate the Tembien region further.
 "On Jan. 2i, in Tembien, . column of Eritrean troops advanc. ing westwards devisively attacked the enemy which had taken posi-. ton on the heights of zeban neal Kerrkata and on Mount Lata while the second division of Blackshirts emerging from the Pass of Uarieu engaged the enemy decisively ir battle, proceeding from the north to the south. The maneuver sue. ceeded fully.
 Eritreans Conquer
 The Eritreans conquered after q bloody fight at Zeban and Kerka- ta, compelling the enemy to retreat on Mount Lata.
 "On Jan. a the great part of the Philippians went towards Uarieu and attacked the second division 0i blackshirts with considerable force with the intention of forcing Uarieu all spelling the results we had achieved the preceding day, The blackshirt division resisted the enemy valiantly all day and thta gave the Etitrean troops the possi- bility of attacking and conqurerine Mount Lata. :.
 aOn Jan. g. another Eritrearl column effected It's conjunction with the second division of black shirts. Thus the enemy was routed everywhere.

ably exceeded in importance the three day conflict on the Takazze river in December and may prove to have been the turning point in the hostilities on the northern front. The fierce and long drawn out na- ture of the fighting which began on January 20 and lasted until late into the night of January g indicated that the Italians at last have re- alized their hopes for pitched bat tie. According to common observa- ton, Italian stan officers have been attempting to force the Ethiopian armies into . conflict of this nature since the campaign started in oc- tober.
 Ras Kassa, commander of the Ethiopian consul ct Port Said, at the zion, apparently underestimated the strength of the Italian army. The Ethiopian general apparently be- lieved that the rough, desolate ter- rain would give his men an advan. tage despite their numerical and equipment flaws. Tn any case, the re. pulse Of the Ethiopians is regarded here is great Italian victory.
 Dunn Dunn Bullets
 Addis Ababa, Jan. 25--(Up)-The Ethiopian consul at Port Said, ct the entrance to the 6uez canal, said in Q letter to the government today that 100000 rounds of dunn dunn arn- naunition consigned to the Italian forces in Eritrea passed through the canal within the last month.
 A government olficial commented sardonically, perhaps the dunn dunn shipments are for the purpose of putting in the cartridge belts of dead Ethiopians." The reference was to Italian charges that Ethiopia has used dunn durn bullets.
 Ethiopia Claims It
 Addis Ababa, Jan. 25--(UP)- Ethiopians under Ras Siyoum have won Q three day battle northwest of Makale on the northern front, an ofiicial comraunique said today.
 Unofiicial dispatches asserted that the Ethiopians captured 100 Italian machine guns. 10 cannon, several tanks and quantities of rifles and ammunition. No mention was made of casualties.

CHANGE IS DUE
IN LAME DUCK
AMENDMENT

Revision of the Norris lame
duck" amendment to the Consti-
tuition may be demanded in the
next Congress because Of the pos
sibility that the nation may at
sometime be without a President.
Approach Of the national cleo
ton has caused many election
and parliamentary experts to
study the Constitution and laws
governing choice Of the President
and they are in a other about it.
Election Upset
Here are some of the con-
tingencies that might arise to pre-
vent president being inaugurated
on next January 20.
/. If no candidate has a ma
jority of the electorate votes
the election is thrown into the
House.
2. The Constitution provides
that electoral votes shall be
counted by Senate and House
in joint session on January 6.
3. But the House must first
be organized by electing Off
GERS before memN ers are sworn
in-and the House doesn't meet
until January S. There have
been occasions when the House
fought for weeks over election
Of a speaker.
Must Get Majority
4. If the election is thrown
into the House, the presidential
choice must receive a majority
of the votes of all States-with
the State congressional delega-
tions voting as a unit. An cleo
ton contest might last beyond
January 20-the date for the
Inauguration.
S. If a president is not chosen
by January 20 the vice-preSident-
elect, says the Constitution,
shall serve. But under the pres
ent system, failure to choose a
president by the House proba-
bly, would be accompanied by
failure to choose a vice-presi-
dent.
6. If objections are made to
counting the electoral vote of
any state, Ser e and House vote
separately. They also may vote
concurrently to reject a states
vote. But the law isn't clear.
and a parliamentary tangle
might follow.
