Italy


the cabinet ordered two consultative
bodies set up-a governors council,
presided over by the viceroy and COM
posed of the highest officials in
Italian East Africa, and a general
"consulta," formed of resident citi-
zens chosen by the viceroy from
established merchants and in
dustrialistS and six chiefs and
notables chosen among East African
subjects.
The cabinet declared ''the greatest
guarantees" for the Mohammedan
religion. At the same time the Coptic
Christian Church was made the
object of explicit regulations because
of its connection with the Coptic
Church of Egypt. These regulations,
however, were not announced i'm
mediately.
It was stated, however, that the
coptic church of Ethiopia now IS re-
united with the patriarchial see of
Alexandria and the Egyptian coptic
church.
Traditionally, Alexandria was the
mother church of the coptic sect to
which Ethiopian bishops held ecclesi-
astical allegiance.
In recent years the connection has
been broken of and the coptic church
nationalized.
Gesture Toward Egypt.
The cabinets move was believed in
diplomatic circles to be a gesture to-
ward Egypt as an effective means of
linking Ethiopia and Egypt in at least
sentimental bonds.
A cabinet communique said the
accord was reached with the coptic
hierarchy of Ethiopia so that the
greatest development may be given
the religious institutions of the Chris
tian lands of Italian East Africa and
so that the bonds which unite the
religious populations of Ethiopia with
the coptic church of Egypt shall be
given cultural effect"

Andy Trzeciak, who did all the

his 90-yard touchdown run from

Fifth at Rockingham

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Jack
Doyle, Broadway betting commits
sioner, today reported "plenty Of
action" on the world series, but
no change in the betting odds.
The price is still II to 20
against the Yankees to win the
series. For the first game, the
odds remain 3 to against the
Giants and 6 to 5 against the
YankS.
However, there is plenty of
Giant money showing, reflect
ing the faith of the fans IN
Carl HubbelI," says Doyle.
"The price on the opening game
may go l to 2 against the
Giants and 3 to 2 against the
YankS."
Yankee supporters, in Doyle's
opinion, are holding off until after
the first game before making
their wagers, because they feel
Hubben will win his start. Even
should the Giants win the open
ing game, the Yanks will remain
even money to win the series or
4 to 5 and take your pick.
But should the Yankees beat
Hubbell in the opener, then the
odds on the series will sky
rocket" Doyle says. "It may
be 312 to l or 4 to 1, with the
Yanks, of course, favOriteS."
There have been few bets on
a series sweep.
If he were quoting odds on a
team winning four straight, Doyle
said, it would be 10 to l against

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

r RECALL the pleasurable excitement which came
to millions in 1888 when the new President used
the radio and newsrees to talk to the people. An
awed hush fell the vast throngs when the voice
of Franklin Deano Roosevelt was heard over the
air. The applause was wild when his smile flashed
upon the screen.
1t was all part of some miracle which was to
save us. The power of such appeal made directly to
the voters will inspire confidence and affection it
was said. Along with everybody else believed it.
Now doubts assail me.
For it is possible to see too often the flashing
smile; to become too familiar with certain vocal in
Elections and certain we'll turned phrases. The citizen
who attends three movies week, let say, may
hear the same speech three times in the space of
seven days and see the same benign countenance.
And within fortnight the experience is likely to
repeated.
Figure it out for yourself. Human nature being
what she is. the results may not be so good-for
the New Deal 1t is to be hoped the publicity forces
of the Administration will remember the ancient
saying, as true as it is old: Familiarity breeds
contempt"
Contempt, of course, is not the right word In
difference would be better one in such case but
for Presidents and political leaders it is equally
dangerous
1t is very evident that Mr.. Roosevelt's charm of
personality his beautiful diction and his undeniabe
sincerity beginning to bore the radio and movie
going public, even that part of it which admres
respects and loves him. It's pity we are made
that way, but so it is.
He who would remain great to the masses must
remain secluded The legend of Calvin Coolidge
persisted because Calvin himself was good deal of
mystery.

DIR. ECKENER

DR. HUGO ECKENER, modern Magellan who
II great honors for his German Fatherland
through decade of amazing Zeppelin flights has
just added another by flying the new dirigible Won
Hindenburg from Germany to Rio De Janeiro, car
rying 81 passengers and automobile
His fight got less notice than it deserved in
American papers because they were full of the story
about another German, facing execution in New
Jersey. 1t got at all in Germany. because Hit
lers little Herr Goebbels, the Naz propaganda min
lister, had sent out to all German papers this
notice
The of DR.. Hugo Eckener will no longer
be mentioned in newspapers and periodicals. No
pictures or articles about him shall be printed"
This sentence of silence pronounced because
Dr. Eckener refused to participate in propaganda
before the recent farccal election.
So as far as the German press is concerned,
Dr. Eckener is dead. The rest of the world will
honor him as a great liberal journalist, master
scientist and OF the boldest navigators of the
modern era, We will honor him the more because
he refused to betray his conscience. And some Gay
when Germany is finished with it's day of little
dctators Dr. Eckener will be seated in her Valhala
along with the other authentic German heroes.
