One of the attractions out
at Ashland Farms, the Ashton
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Connor, is, according to guests,
the very tame and very friendly
duck which is the pet of the
two Connor boys, "Tim" and
Mike" Whenever a car drives
up to the house, the duck wad-
dies gravely over and greets
the newcomer. Then, just as
gravely, he sits down, waiting
for "Tim" and mike" to put
him in the pond, where he gives
an exhibition of his swimming
prowess. Once that's finished,
he gets out and waits until the
next arrival, when the entire
performance is repeated.

over the sacred home of the Nations

Decisive action followed and, after
some tall climbing by fireman armed
with blow torch, the flag went up in
smoke and the Republic was returned
to a sound basis. Later it was ru-
mored that Congress may declare a
state Of emergency and decree that
all loyal citizens be armed with blow
torches.
Capitol police examined copy Of
the Harvard Lampoon discovered at
the base of the flagpole. In the maga-
zine, in addition to few jibes at Yale
and Princeton, was an article entitled
Down With Capitalism" Police felt
certain that the red flag bearer had
not mistaken the court building for
either Yale or Princeton, so greatest
significance was attached to the anti
capitalistic article.
Discovery of the emblem raised a
real problem as building guards found
the halyards so skillfully and COM
pletely knotted that they resisted all
attempts at disentanglement. AS in
most emergencies of an unusual ma
ture, reliance was placed in the Fire
Department-andn not In vain.
Realizing full well the importance
of their mission, Truck No. from the
nearby station rallied quickly to the
cause. Hosting an extension ladder up
beside the pole, one Of their members
lighted himself blow torch and went

the torch to a stick, he placed it
strategically under the fiuttering ban

Defense is Study.
Directing the defense was Capt. p.
E. Crook of the Supreme Court
Guard, who had been summoned in
the emergency. Interviewed later,
Capt. Crooks explained that the un-
furling must have taken place while
a patrol was making the hourly

done by some one familiar with the

A careful investigation is under way,

ment really intending an insult to the
court.

ment, the State Department wished
to postpone trade conversations until
1t saw how MuSsolini'S aggression
would end.
According to dispatches from Eu-
rope, it appears probable that the
sanctions imposed on Italy by the
League of Nations will be lifted in the
near future.
Discussions are taking place in Rome
now to preserve Britain's and Frances
rights in Ethiopia in accordance with
The treaty of 1925. Britain Is inter-
ested in the preservation of her rights
at Lake Tana, while France is inter-
ested in the Djibouti-Addis Ababa
Railway. p
Mussolini, it is stated. has no in
tention OF preventing the British from
obtaining the surplus water from Lake
Tana when the Nile is low. The con-
cession for the construction of dam
has been granted by Halle Selassie to
the j. G. White Engineering Co. of
New York, and it appears unlikely
that II Duce will void that concession.
AS far as the French railroad in
terests are concerned, the Italians al
ready have obtained a Is per cent in
terest in that line by the Laval-Mus-
solini agreement signed in Rome in
1885. Nobody foresees any real diff
culties in cooperation between the
two governments, as it is assumed
that the Ethiopian interests will be
taken over by Italy. Hence, the Ital-
ians will have a. greater share than
the French in the railroad.
In the mentime there is likely to
be some pressure exercised on the
State Department by a number of
American business concerns. These
already have approached Ambassador
Rosso in Washington to find out what
opportunities would be offered foreign
interests in the development of Ethi-
opia.
Rosso was Eon-committal, but said
that Italy does not intend to make out
Of Ethiopia a CLOSED country" and
it will undoubtedly need the assistance
of international capitals.
Mussolini, the Italian Ambassador
told the interested American concerns,
will not hesitate to encourage bona
fide and substantial American COM
panies to contribute to the develop
ment of the new colony.
