Thursday morning. July 18th. 1886

more. She had been in poor health
for about two years but always met

Italian Immigrants
Ready TO Sail
For Ethiopia

ROME - The greatest immigra-
ton movement of the twentieth
century is about to begin, with
thousands of Italians eagerly await
ing the completion Of the road from
Asmara (Eritea) to Adds Ababa.
Then the vast plateaus and plains
of Ethiopia will be populated with
a new people. The crown lands in
the fertile provinces will be the
first settled. The most fertile coun-
try in regions most accessible will
be opened first. In these the first
choice of land will be given. to
soldiers who, have expressed a de-
sire to remain in Ethiopia. OF
the regiments of Italians recruited
abroad (outside Italy, 700 already
have decided to remain, while the
is equally high for the
soldiers who came from Italy her
self. Natives will not be deprived
of their lands without due process
of law, it is claimed.
Land can be obtained in two ways
by those wishing to own it. The

settle on a piece of land-the size
to be determined by his financial
ability to operate it and the set
Ter will be required to pay small
yearly tax for a number of years,
on the value of the land.
Land also may be purchased direct
ly from the natives, but official ap-
prevail must be obtained first.
Speculation in land will be rigidly
prohibited.

NEW YORK DR.. Mary
Mcleod Bethune, director of Negro
activities of the NYA at Washing
ton and president of Bethune- Cook
man College at Daytona Beach, Fla,
made the first page of the New
York Times Tuesday morning when
she was substituted on radio pro-
gram in place of Mayor LaGuardia
of. New York, but her race was not
mentioned. The Times headline:
~LaGuardia Not on Hand For
Roosevelt Broadcast" and the story
ran in part: "a radio program in
which Mayor LaGuardia had been
announced as a speaker on a coast
forecast hook-up under the auspices
of groups seeking the reelection
of President Roosevelt was changed
last night by the substitution of
DR.. Mary Mcleod Bethune of Wash
ington, for the Mayor. No reason
was announced for the change.
An announcer for the Columbia
Broadcasting System, over whose
network the program was sent,
merely said it had been informed a
substitute would be provided for
the Mayor"

"Out here in West Texas, where

The truth of Senator Nelson's
statement is open to question.
Tahoka, the home Of Senator Mel
son, is the county seat of Lynn
County. Lynn, and other count
les in Nelson's senatorial district,
are among the districts of Texas
where the Southern Tenant Farm
ers Union is organized. Needless

BY KONRAD BERCOvICI

no more than eleven years of married life had
dampened his enthusiasm for Lucia, his beauti-
full wife, the daughter of Battista Areto the
trombone player of the orchestra.
He did everything with great gusto, An
tonic Flauta did. At the end of eleven years
of married life he had eleven children, and
he was as happy when the last one arrived as
he had been when the first born had made
his appearance.
When number eleven was born, Antonio ar
rived at rehearsal with large box of cigars
and cried, Its boy. l pretty soon got
enough to make my own orchestra Papa
Flauta and his banabini? Eh? What you say?
The older boy he already play the fiddle better
than you, Eldner.'
Antonio always picked on Eldner, the first
violinist, sour faced, bespectacled man, who
disliked the explosive Italian
You ought to be ashamed of yourself to
bring somany children into the worldg' Eldner
said, throwing his hands up in the air.
Eleven children! Cot mein Gott!'
In the discussion that followed, while vio-
Inns we're being tuned and saxophones were
being footed, Antonio father -in-a law, as happy
as his son-in-law at the newest addition to the
family, cried out, He should be proud, not
ashamed. My mother gotta twenty children"

The leader, Rudolph Waldman, arrived and
rehearsals began. At the end of the tenth
bar, he raped his stick, looked furiously at
Flauta, who was blowing his lungs out. He
had never played so loudly and Justify.
Mr. Flauta you are not playing a from
bone, and the part is marked piano.
Sure, know" Flauta grinned, but the
composer he no was the father of the eleventh
child when he marked piano on such beauti-
full melody" and he stepped up to the leader
to offer him fat cigar. This gotta specially
for YOU
Again? Again2" the leader laughed.
No one else in the orchestra would have
dared or gotten away with such piece of
impudence with Rudolph Waldman.
We were invited yearly to the wedding
anniversary of the Flautas. Antonio would
design special invitation card, use upon it
his talents as painter and poet. The day of
the anniversary he would rise at daybreak to
decorate the room with festoons of colored
paper radiating from the chandeliers; push
the folding beds into one room; take out the
doors between all rooms that ran into each
other, and empty my home of utensils, dishes,
table linen, tables and chairs.

talked to Flauta about my troubles. The re-

Antonio was flutist with the Metropolitan
orchestra Short, fat, round-faced, with large
brown eyes and a name of curly black hair,
he looked like cupid that has grown
mustache.
He was good flutist, but his playing was
so uneven, orchestra and leader were always
on tenter-hooks when he had to play solo
part. He was as dangerous when he was in
good humor and blew away too Justify as he
was when he was depressed and made a
plaintive chant out of the gayest little melody.
However, he was mostly in good humor
Reproaches were useless. At the end of the
concert he was so contrite, so downcast the
bitterest fiddler, whose playing he had deaf
ened, was ready to weep with him. 1T wasn't
so bad, Antonio, just a trif1e too loud'
What endeared him to all, however, was
his enthusiasm for music. Years of playing
