Neutrality Measure

legislation desired by
Y the administration does not meet
with the approval of Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois who, though
a loyal Democrat. is sometimes OPP
posed to measures fostered by the
President. He says the law under con-
sideration in senate and house commit
tees would close the markets of the
Middle West to world commerce, and
has asked the Illinois Manufacturers
association and the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce to support his oppo-
sition to it.
AS a substitute for the general neu,
trality law proposed by the President,
Senator Lewis advocates enactments
granting the Chief Executive authority
to issue regulations placing embargoes
upon shipments of commodities which
would threaten American neutrality,
but STIMULATING that these regulations
should be submitted to the senate for
acceptance or amendments.
Before an executive session of the

Rains in Ethiopia Stop
the Italian Operations

ETHIOPIA'S "little" rainy season
IL has come, and the advances OF the
invading Italians are therefore stopped
effectually for several weeks at least.
The downpours are heavy and con-
tinuous. roads are being destroyed,
especially in the northern part or the
country, and landslides in the noun
tains are frequent. Foreign observers
were of the opinion that all lighting
must cease, even in the south where
the rains are not so heavy. The big"
rainy season is due to begin in May.
Mussolini continued the dispatch OF
fresh troops to Ethiopia, despite un-
favorable conditions. He postponed the
meeting of the Fascist grand councii
from January IS to February 1, by
which time the League of Nations
council, it is presumed, will have de-
cided whether to impose an oil en-
barge on Italy. The league council
would very much like to have the Unit
ed States congress pass its neutrality
legislation before the oil embargo ques-
ton is settled.
DIR. Marcel Junod, international
Red Cross delegate, announced at Adj
dis Ababa that he would recommend
withdrawal of all Red Cross units from
Ethiopia unless Italy definitely prom
Used not to bomb them.
The Ethiopian government, accusing
Italy of continued employment OF poi

termination" of the Ethiopian people,

patch a commission of inquiry to the
scene of strife. League officials an

they had permitted the transfer of GER

Administration leaders were cOnSid-
ering a plan to raise the half million
dollars year necessary for this
scheme by enacting most of the old
processing taxes as excise levies. The
farm leaders favored this, and also

Foremost among the agricultural eX-
pertS who took part in the conferences
was Howard r. Tolley, director of the
Giannini foundation in California. He
has been described by administration
officials as the leading agricultural
economist in the United States, and
was hurriedly called from the West
coast to Washington.

Democratic Convention
Goes to Philadelphia

A UCTIONED off to the highest bid
"A der, the Democratic national con-
vention of 1886 was sold to Philadel-
phia by the party's national commit
tee. The price was 100000, plus some
prizes and concessions. Chicago and
San Francisco also bid for the conven-
ton. The former offered certified
check for $4,000. The California city
made the same bid and later raised it
to 5000, 800.
During brief recess Chairman Far
lev telephoned, presumably to the
White House, and Vice President Gar
ner moved among the members of the
committee urging the selection of Phil
adelphia. Therefore the City Of Broth
erly Love won the prize. The opening
of the convention was set for June 70,
two weeks after the Republican con-
vention in Cleveland.

Raskob Is Angered by

John j. RASKOB is angry, and so

Process Tax Refund Ordered
bv Supreme Court

PROCESSING taxes amounting to
S200,0OO,00O, impounded by the
courts, must be refunded to the tax
payers, according to a unanimous rul-
ing of the Supreme court of the United
States. The decision did not go into the
question Of whether professors must
prove they had absorbed the tax be-
fore they could recover, though this
was one of the main points at issue.
Presumably this will first be passed
upon by district court. The case was
brought by Louisiana rice millers.
The nine justices all agreed that the
review of the Bankhead cotton act
case, which had been allowed on to
3 vote, had been 'improvidently
granted and so they refused to pass
on the validity of the act at this time.
Another case involving this law, filed
by Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia,
a Roosevelt administration foe, will
give the court another opportunity to
rule on it.
The expected ruling on the validity
of the Tennessee Valley Authority act
was not forthcoming.

Meaning of Word Humor

The word humor is taken directly
from the Latin and meant fluid or mois
ture. Old Psychologists believed thers
were four fluids-blood, phlegm, choler
or yellow bile, and melancholy or
black bile. The relative proportions
of each, they reasoned with seeming
logic, determined persons mood.
Hence came the expressions good hui
NOR and i'll humor. But, under the
wear and tear of usage, words shift
their meanings. Gradually, perhaps
because of mans natural optimism, the
pleasant meaning triumphed over the
unpleasant, and humor came to signify
something wholesome, cheerful and.
finally, downright funny and laughabie.

He will tell you that before the

against by physicians as bad for the

Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritiS and neuralgia. And the expert
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your oUR interest re-

His Lines

am not making any predictions as
to where this trend will lead. 1t is
important to note, however, that it is
an old political trick to impugn the
motives of the opposition. Such was
the mood into which former President
Herbert Hoover fell when in 1881 it
became apparent his political life was
on the skids and slipping fast. When
he was ION his way OUT Mr.. Hoover
became so picayunish that even his
own associates found it difficult to do
the things he wanted done in the way
he desired. This condition continued
to develop until he began to complain
personally about the "hair shirts" that
he had to wear. The "hair shirts" in
cident probably was the best tip-off to
the sinking feeling that had begun to
permeate Mr.. HoOver's outlook at that
time The rest is history.
AS to the course which Mr.. Roose-
Welt is following in impugning the mo-
tives of his opposition, one can hardly
take objection because it has been
done so often and for the further rea-
son that neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor
Mr.. Farley is political novice. l be-
lieve that Washington observers gen.
orally give each of these men credit
for being thoroughly versed in politics
and since Mr.. Roosevelt is ''dimly con-
scious that a campaign is under way
and an election is scheduled" he nat
urally is laying his lines. They will be

sultant display for public view intend
