Pushing on after perhaps the
greatest victory OF the talo-Ethi-
Opian war, italian forces today
concentrated upon Emperor Halle
Eelassie'S own imperial guards
and, according to italian circles,
neared a final stage in the con-
quest Of the Negus' kingdom.
Rome expected the emperor to
sue for peace as a result Of Italian
victories during the past two
weeks, but at the same time II
Duce prepared Italy for any
emergency, by launching q great
national defense program.
The Italian press, jubilant over
success Of the italian armies. as
sumed q defiant attitude toward
Geneva, where League Of Nations
statesmen met TO debate further
sanctions against Italy, including
an OIL embargo, but did so only
alphabetically.
Moving very slowly regarding
the Ethiopian war, the diplomats
showed more interest in other
European problems, notably Ger
many's reported threat to send
troops into the demilitarized
Rhineland zone.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 2.
Buddy Myer. field captain of the
Washington Griffs, signed his
1896 contract this afternoon.
The signing came after Myer
and President Griffith had argued
for more than two and one-half
hours. In fact. they adjourned
their meeting for lunch when Grif-
fifth turned and said:
Buddy, here's my last offer.
It's good and / want you to aC-
cept it,"
Whatever the sum stipulated, it
must have been all right, for Myer
signed the document.
Neither Myer nor Griffith would
disclose the amount settled upon.
Griffith said it was a substantial
boost and Myer said everything
was all right.
Myer didn't get the $4,000 he
sought, and Griffith didn't get off
with the $12, 900 which he offered.
It is probable that Myer came out
with $4,000 or thereabouts.

By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Downtown washington, twice
day on weekdays, is a wriggling
mass Of automobiles, street cars,
busses and pedestrians struggling
to get somewhere.
They get there; but not before
nerves have been Jared, tempers
cracked and someone injured in
an accident.
Concentration of traffic in the
early morning and late afternoon
is so bad that visitors from other
cities wonder how residents Of
the District manage to go back
and forth from work.
Subways the Answer
The same concentration exists
in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. But it causes little de-
lay in transportation. because
those cities have facilities for
speedy transit. People come
downtown and return home in
one half the time that it takes
to negotiate a similar distance
here.
The reason2
Subways. ~
While Washingtonians are risk
ing their lives on foot and in au-
tomohiles on the surface Of the
streets, New Workers are rushing
to their destinations in under.
ground tubes, on trains that have
long since proved to be the safest
public conveyanceS known.
Subject Not New
The subject of ways for
Washington is not new. They
first were proposed many years
ago. Great prominence was given
to the matter in 1927, when plans
for the new Federal triangle
south Of Pennsylvania Avenue
were announced; conferences,
speeches on the floors of both
houses of Congress; meetings of
District officials and newspaper
editorials have been devoted to
SubwayS.
But the result to date is less
than nothing. While Washington
continues to grow larger, while
the Government builds more and
more beehives downtown and
while the concentration Of traffic
and slowness of transportation
become worse and worse, little or
nothing is done about solving the
problem through a means that
will need to be adopted sooner or
later.

Indianan Refuses to
Face Gresham on
Filed Charges

Representative Virginia e.
Jenckes Cd of Indiana today
broadly charged before the House
District subcommittee considering
the Red-rider repeal bill that the
local Board of Education is guilty
Of deliberate neglect and inef-
ficiency', and has authorized an
instruction course on Communism
preparatory for the instruction
course on Communism given by the
school of Communism operated in
the District of Columbia
Her charges, which were made
in statement sandwiched between
statements of advocates of the re-
peal bill, threw the crowded hear
ing room into temporary panic
and resulted in members of Con-
gTeSs present arguing over whether
or not she should be allowed to file
a brief later in the week carrying
evidence which she said will show
the basis of her charges.
Statements Challenged
After reading the fiery state.
ment, Mrs. Jenckes asked to be
excused from cross-examination,
explaining that she had gotten up
from q sick bed to make her ap-
pearance before the subcommittee.
She said she would permit cross
examination later. in the week
when she files her brief.
In reply to- the Indiana Con-
gresswoman, Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the Board of
Education, asserted:
81 absolutely challenge every
statement Of Mrs. Jenckes, both
rs president Of the school board
and aS an American mother.
deplOFe the fact that she
made her statements without the
least bit Of supporting evidence.
81 depIOre the fact that she
made her statements under the
cloak Of congressional immunity,
In the knowledge that she can
not later be called to account for
her charges in case of future
action, which, otherwise, could
be taken against her"
Among Her Charges
After several members of Con-
gresS had urged the subcommittee
to repeal the red rider, Mrs.
Jenckes took the stand, asked per.
mission to file her subStantiating
brief later, and declared:
II will show by specific refer
ences that the Board Of Educa-
ton has knowingly permitted a
book to be used which the Board
Of Education and its SubOrdi-
mates knew contained material
advocating and teaching the
practices Of Communism.
"The Board Of Education Of
'ficiaIly advised me as q member
Of Congress and as a member Of

that this book had been ordered

The Semaphore

In 1893, Claude Chappe. a young
French engineer, established between
Paris and Lille an experimental line of
semaphore telegraph stations. The eS-
sential features of his apparatus were
an upright post on the top of which
was pivoted a movable beam or cross
arm carrying. at each end, another
movable arm. The apparatus was SO
arranged that the positions of these
three movable units could be changed,
as desired, from within the tower on
which the semaphore was mounted.
Various combinations or sequences of
these positions could be used. either for
code phrase or alphabetical communi-
cation. Carlyle's 1.-The French Revolu-
ton" gives dramatic account of the
telegraphing to Paris. by means of
line of Chappe semaphores, Of the
news of the surrender of the town of
Condo. Chappe's system was widely
used in France and similar systems
were adopted in practically all Euro
pean countries and in the United
States.
