President and
Pershing Visit
Soldiers Tomb
Foreign Nations Join Leaders in
Paying Tribute to World
War Dead

President Roosevelt, war time as
sistant secretary of the navy, and
Gen. John j. Pershing, last survivor
of the Allied high command, led the
United States in observance of Arm
istice day, in pilgrimage to the
great white tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington National ceme-
terry, Washington. The President and
the general went to the tomb to-
gether.
Secretary of War Woodring made
the principal address at the tomb,
calling upon the American people to
unite in an endeavor to preserve
peace, and saying:
1.-THE world looks toward peace.
In this advance, we must show the
way"
The 18th anniversary of the end
ing of the World war in 1918 was
the occasion for pleas for everlasting
peace, as many nations held COM
memorative exercises for fallen he
roes of the great war.
The 18th hour of the 18th day of
the 18th month-the hour of the or
der of cease firing" in 1918-struck
a common note in many lands.
There were parades of martial
music reminiscent of the war days
and millions went to worship and
prayer in churches, synagogues and
cathedFals."
French Foreign Minister Delbos
on Armistice day announced policy
of armed might-as Frances 'only
choice" in a world thrown into
state of permanent mobilization.
While tens of thousands in Paris
cheered the war-like spectacle,
heavy guns, tanks and armed cars
rumbled down Champ Elysees, in a
display of the nations military might,
which Delbos said would be placed
Sin the service of peace" A schedul-
ed aerial display was abandoned be-
cause of a driving rain.
But the solemn ArmiStice day
ceremonies were marred by counter
demonstrations of leftist followers
of Col. Francois de la ROGUE.
King Edward VIII of England
stood at the Cenotaph, London's War
memorial, to pay tribute for the first
time as sovereign.
Italy observed the 9th birthday
of King Victor Emmanuel. Fascist
troops paraded before the King and
Permier Mussolini.
In Belgium, King Leopold fasten-
ed a cross of fire upon the tomb of
the nations unknown soldier not far
from the famed battlefields in Flan-
ders that were blood-drenched in
the war.

Improvement in
US. Causes Huge
Inflow of Gold

A continued inflow of gold, push
ing stocks $102,000,00O upward in a
month, was shown Saturday in the
Federal Reserve boards weekly con-
dition statement.
The sustained influx brought this
country's holdings of the metal to
$11, los, 100000 on November 10. This
compared with $11,058, 100000 for
the previous week and $11 ,003, 000, 900
on October IA.
When the United States, Great
Britain, and France effected the tri-
power monetary agreement late in
September, some economists predict
ed the. cooperative understanding
would tend to retard gold shipments
to this country. A trend to the con-
trary, however, has been the case.
Imports for October increased sharp
ly over September.
Government financial experts said
this week the continued movement
of gold to the United States was at
tributable largely to two factors
uncertainties over future economic
and political developments in Eu-
rope and the sustained improvement
of American business, attracting for
eign investment.

Editor Of Atlanta
Constitution Dies
Clark Howell Had Held Offices
Under Both Republicans
and Democrats

A tWo--month illness claimed the
life Saturday of Clark Howell, Sr.,
editor and president of the Atlanta
Constitution and Democratic nation
al committeeman for Georgia.
The 73-year-old publisher, a close
friend of President Roosevelt, died at
his home in Atlanta after two opera
tons failed to correct an intestinal
ailment.
He was an early supporter of Mr..
Roosevelt for President and was long
identified in State and national poll
tics. Only last June he returned to
the States Democratic committee
post which he had held from 1896
to 1924.
Upon resuming this important
party assignment, Howell succeeded
Governor Eugene Talmadge. He had
supported Ta1madge in every race
he ran for State office, but broke
with the Governor when he began
his attacks on the New Deal.
Opposed to Senator Richard B.
Russell's candidacy for the United
States Senate in 1882, Howell sup
ported him against Talmadge in the
Senate race this year Russell won
reelection by a landslide.
Although staunch Democrat,
Howell held appointments to COM
missions under both Democratic and
Republican national administrations.
He declined proffers of diplomatic
posts in 1888, maintaining he could
be of geater service to the President
in his capacity as editor of the Con-
Stitution.

ALI Landon and John
Hamilton Confer on
Republicans Future

Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas,
defeated Republican presidential
nominee, and John Hamilton, nation
al chairman met Saturday-the first
time since election-to lay ground
work for their party's future.
They met in a hotel lobby and
shook hands heartily. Hamilton came
from Chicago by airplane and Lam
don by train from Topeka. Before
they retired to a hotel room to con-
fer Hamilton discussed plans to re-
tain a working organization party
headquarters at Washington, adding:
This last campaign has demon
strated that you can't build an eff
fective organization in just four
months. That's about what we're GO
ing to discuss"
The national chairman pointed to
''three things the Republican party
can do.
First, we must see that the Re-
publican point of view is clearly
presented. Second, we must keep
contact with Republican office hold
ers, particularly those in Congress.
Third, we must keep in contact with
field workers.
1--WE want to keep an active mi
nority. And it's fair sized minority.
Seventeen n1illion-17, 600, 900 people
who, / believe, voted their honest
convictions without fear or favor.
That minority won't be proportion
ately represented in Congress"

WAR. IN ETHIOPIA NOT OVER

Italian columns are on the move
again in Ethiopia to complete con-
quest Of the land of the ousted EN-
peror Halle Selassie.
Six months after troops occupied
this capital city and Premier Musso-
lini proclaimed the annexation of
Ethiopia, the war still Is in progress
against unconquered chieftians.
With the end of the rainy season,
Italian columns are pushing west
ward toward the Sudanese border
and Gore, reputed seat OF what re-
mains of an autonomous Ethiopian
government, and southwark through
the Gala and Sidamo toward the
Kenva frontier.
Ethiopian irregulars-the Italians
call them bandits-are fighting bit
terly to prevent the invaders from
extending their dominion. The ter
ritory which the Italians have not
yet occupied represents approx
mately one-foourth of all Ethiopia.
1t includes Uollega to the West OF
Adds Ababa, an area reputed to be
rich in mineral resources, and a fer
tile lake district to the South.
The unsubjugated warriors are
estimated by Italian military sources
to number about $4,000. Many OF
them are well-equipped with ma
chine guns, modern artillery, anti
aircraft and anti-tank guns.

QUESTION and ANSWERS
 ClOtting of Blood

QUESTION and ANSWERS ClOtting of Blood Will you please help my physio- ogy work by telling me why the clotting of blood of value. (Miss C. W)
 Answer--It stops bleeding and later the clot (coagulated blood) be- comes the material with which re- pair and healing is effected.
 Thalllum
 For a month I used cream for superfiuouS hair, and later I read that 1t contained thalliun1 acetate which is very poisonous. stopped immediately, but am worried. (Mrs A. N. B.
 Answer - Nothing you can do about 1t now. If a month has elaps- ed since you stopped using 1t, probably you will have no Ill effects. Thallium acetate has caused loss of hair from large areas of the head. Too bad women have to learn by experience that cosmetic nostrunns are not always harmless.
 MoIasses
 How can we tell real molasses from, ordinary molasses? (Mrs. F. D.
 Answer - Old fashioned molasses contains no sulphur dioxide. All so- called molasses obtained as by product of the manufacture of sugar contains sulphur dioxide. The old fashioned kind is still made here and there, by boiling down the sugar cane in open kettles. Doubtful Improvement
 Recent issue of Scientific Amer ican described "super-artificial res- piration", which claims to be 8 4i per cent improvement over the ef- ficiency of the Schafer method which you advocate (B. A. Mo Answer-It is an attempt to com bine the old arm-pumping method with the pressure (Schafer) method. In expert hands 1t might be of some advantage, but certain ly It is no improvement, in fact l should consider 1t a hindrance, in ordinary emergency first aid. As va cation season approaches, 1t would be a good time to make sure you know how to resuscitate. Instruc- tons, with illustrations, In booklet "Resuscita tion"- will be mailed on request, if you inclose ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Olive Oil
 Notwithstanding your scoffing denial that olive oil is absorbed by the skin, I commenced rubbing 1t on my cheeks months ago, and every one says my cheeks are perceptibly stouter. co. H.
 Answer--I still deny that anything is absorbed through unbroken skin. You are scoffing at science.
 Oxidation
 Is orange juice squeezed at night to be used for breakfast lower in vitamin content than fresh squeezed juice? (B. F. M)
 Answer-Yes. Vitamin 0 is de- stroyed by oxidation. Better to
