THE ADULT SCHOOL IN
NATHANS CREEK COMMUNITY
By, REV. J. c.. SWAIN

This is to give the personal ap-
proval and endorsement of the work
done by the Adult Teachers in Ashe
county under the WPA project.
I have had the pleasure of seeing
the work done in Nathans Creek
community in very fine way, un-
der the supervision of Miss Maude
Grub. Many subjects and projects
have been taught that are of great
Importance to the development of
better homes and environment, and
of the character of both young and
old by giving a limited amount of
education in the fields Of reading,
arithmetic, home making, sewing,
cooking, and many other items.
I believe many have been helped
in their feeble way to have broad
er vision of life, to see beauty in
others, and in nature where as they
never had seen it before. Miss
Grubb, I believe, has done a fine
piece of work as one of the teachers.
These schools are needed in Ashe
county to help reduce crime.

Recent Ethiopian Ruler Goes Into
Exile In Land Of His Forefathers
Halle Selassie Flees With Much
Gold and Silver and 10
Tons of Baggage
CLAIMS KIN TO SOLOMON

Emperor Halle Slassie, sad and
detected, arrived in Jerusalem Fri
day with his large encourage to go
INTO exile in the land of his fore
fathers.
Six days after fleeing his capital
Of Adds Ababa before the arrival
of the conquering Italian armies the
emperor arrived at Haifa aboard the
British cruiser Enterprise. He con-
kinued to this holy city by special
train.
The negus, who claims descent
from King Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba, went into Jerusalem no
tel with his family and large group
of mobiles, former officials and chief
tains who accompanied him in his
self-imposed exile.
It was the second time he had
touched the soil of Palestine, for
eight years ago he went there on a
visit as crown price of his empire.
Halle Selassie's features were bag
gard and drawn but he was reSplen-
dent in a white uniform, leggins and
spats. When he debarked at Haifa
tlle band played the Ethiopian ma
tional anthem.
The Empress Mennen, Crown
Prince Asia Wosan and the two
princesses left the boat first, follow
ed by the little emperor, who walk
ed alone.
Halle Selassie inspected guard of
honor before leaving for Jesusalem.
With him were two of his chieftains,
Rases Desto and Kassa, who were
leaders in the losing seven-month
fight against the invaders.
Hundreds of cases laden with gold
and silver and some 10 tons of per-
sonal baggage were taken from the
cruiser by sailors and dockworkers.
Among the negus' belongings were
dozens of cases of liquor. One case,
containing red wine, broke and flow
ed down the gangplank.
Halle Selassie was under the pro-
lection of the British government
until he arrived in Jerusalem. Now,
it is understood, the British authori-
ties regard him merely as private
citizen.
Well-informed sources said the
emperor wou ssa to Europe after
staying here Winnie.
(He has villa in Switzerland and
there have been reports he planned
to make personal appeal for aid
against Italy to the league of
nations.)

Bob White.

IN OBJ WHITE had given the rally
X ing call and his well-grown
children came hurrying from
- all directions. Those that
were the nearest came running. Those
farthest away came on their wings,
instead Of on their feet. Peter Rab-
bit, who was looking on. could not but
admire the promptness with which
all these brown-coated birds came
hurrying in to that call. And such
a lot of them! There were 20 of them.
So that, with their father and mother.
there was a family group Of 20. 1t
was the biggest family that Bob White
and Mrs. Bob had ever raised. and
they had q right to feel very proud.
Peter really had been. astonished at
the promptness with which those
lively young birds had obeyed their
fathers call. "You certainly have
them well trained" said Peter.
"Of course they are well trained"
replied Mrs. Bob. II wouldn't give
much for a covey of young Bob Whites
who were not well trained. From the
time they opened their shells they
were taught to obey whenever We
called"
"I beg pardon" said Peter, "but did
I hear you say that they opened their
shells themselves?"
"Of course" replied Mrs. Bob. "How
do you suppose they got out II they
didn't open them?"
II didn't suppose anything abou:
It," confessed Peter. In fact. I've
never even thought about it before. I
suppose they kick their way out"
Nothing of the kind" said Mrs.
Bob scornfully. 1.-THE idea of kick
ing their way outl 1t just couldn't be
done. What did you think Old Mother

In their youth they reside In the

sion as to which attack will confuse
the enemy most.
The bombardier beetle has learned
that he Is so we'll armed that larger
foes may be attacked or repulsed.
When a giant insect charges the
bomber there seems to be some rather
clever strategy on the part Of the
smaller beetle. Waiting until the
pursuing beetle gets well within the
reach of the gas attack. the bomber
fires into the face of the oncoming
foe.
The enemy is startled and retreats,
but the gas, coming in contact with
the air, forms choking smoke. While
the blinded and gasping enemy is get
ting over the fumes, the bombardier
has made his escape.
If, perchance, the gasser is met with
soon afterward by another enemy, his
supply Of gas has not been completely
exhausted by the first encounter. but
has four, or even five, more rounds OF
ammunition.
