Baff1ed.
The traffic regulations,
I do not know them all.
They've caused me agitations
Which sadly I recall.
I grasp the proper preaching
The Ten Commandments show.
Our Constitutions teaching
I'm truly proud to know.
Though laws that guide the nations
Seem plain, must agree
These traffic regulations
Are far too much for me!

Where I may bear my part in life,

An actor in the worthwhile strife.

This is my plea, Lord. But thy might
Place me while soul and brain are strong:
Before I know extincti0o Night.

war.
The nine-power subcommittee adj

The nine diplomats, meeting in a
tense atmosphere created by British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's de-
mand for prompt action, heard the

ing was that of withdrawing foreign
volunteers, especially Italian, from the
Spanish civil war to remove the main
source of danger that a general Eu-
rouean conflict would emanate from
Spain
The adjournment, to. consult the
governments represented, came after
the Earl of Plymouth and Ambas-
sador Charles Corbin he'd presented
the British and French proposals for
getting foreign warriors out of Spain.
In offering cooperation, Count
Grandi however, specified withdrawal
must be lin equal quantities from both
sides" This, he said, was to be re-
