l34 pounds of ode, idyll and sonnet
Ampers. who advanced from alli-
gator TO cat to jitterbug to a de-
sire for his own swing band, has
been training faithfully on the from
bone. clarinet. and snare drum at
Madam Bey's bungalow of bop. He
spent some time in the ring punch
ing at sparring partners but his
real work was done in his room
on his musical instruments.
Al Well, Ambers' manager, said
he had never in all his life seen
anything to equal the trombone as
a sharpcner of fighters.
Before he took up the trombone, "
Well said, LOUIS right hand was
just another right hand. Not bad,
not good. But a week on that in
strument and his right hand became
a killer diller. The snare drum help
ed him, too. To play one Of those
things, and play it hot you got to
swing your body like monkey on
a limb. Lou would get to swinging
q piece and then ask his sparring
partners to try and hit him. They
couldn't put a glove on him when
he was really going to town on that
Flat Foot F1oogie.'"
Armstrong came down from his
Pompton Lakes camp just as fit
as Ambers. Henry is poet and
the composition of IS odes, IA SON

him into magnificent shape. He

MIND IS SUBJECT
OF SCIENCE CHURCHES

mind" was the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies
on Sunday, February 20, 1888.
The golden text was from
Psalms 92:5: 20 Lord, how great
are thy works; and they thoughts
are very deep"
Among the citations which
comprised the lesson-sermon was
the following from the Bible:
"And one Of the scribes came,
and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that he
had answered them well. asked
him, Which is the first command
ment of all? And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the COM
mandments is, Hear, o Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord {:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment
mark ~: $500.
The lesSon-sermon also lnclud-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy;
at should be thoroughly under
stood that all men have one
Mind, one God and Father one
Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind
will become perfect in proportion
as this fact becomes apparent,
war will cease and the true
brotherhood of man will be estap'
Iished. Having no Other, gods,
turning to no other but the one
perfect Mind to guide him. man

eternal, having that Mind wnich

EDEN OF ENGLAND,
QUITS CABINET

Continued from page one)
of "Mussolini has triumphed ovel
his old foe"
Observers believed that the res.
ignations Of Eden and Cranborne
were only the signal for a graver
government crisis, that will burst
in full blast when Eden - and
Chamberlain - appear in the
House of Commons to explain
their positions.
Eden, in high anger, was ex-
pected to accuse his erstwhile col
league of embarking on "cow-
ardly surrender" to the dictators,
and repudiating the principles of
the League of Nations.
The government, to justify its
policy which forced Eden's resig-
nation, must now sidetrack his
insistence on withdrawal of the
10000 or $4,000 Italian "volun-
teers" fighting in Spain, stopping
of Italian anti-British propagan-
do in the far east and other Gin
ternatoinal" measures to drive di-
rectly toward a new friendship
with Mussolini.
II Duce's prime demand as the
price of new Anglo-Italian friend
ship, formally conveyed to Cham
berlain last Friday, is British rec
ognition of Italy's conquest of
Ethiopia. Eden had opposed,
along with France, such recogni-
ton in months of bartering.

j. S. POLICY is NOT
CHANGED BY SHIFT

Continued from page one)
Empire in event of war.
Through the expeditions use of
such power, Dodd was quoted. the
Roman Eagle could exact tremen-
dous concessions from Britain.
Dodd's testimony was given be-
fore Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's
Notification of Austria.
He assertedly told the commit
tee that Germany and Italy prob
ably would not resort to arms cx-
cept as last means Of gaining
their detectives. He said that ia
pan is most important consid-
Grafton in activities Of the Rome
Berlin axis and predicted that the
island empire would come to the
aid of the two European Fascist
powers Immediately in event Of a
major war.
Dodd also testified that war be-
tween Germany and Italy is en-
tirely conceivable because of jeal-
ousy resulting from one nation
obtaining more than the other.
He said a boycott of the "have
not" powers by the "haves" would
crush Germany. Italy and Japan,
but added that the horrors of the
last war are still so fresh in the
memories of the British, French
and American governments that
thew are afraid to act.
With this knowledge, he was
quoted, Hitler and Mussolini will
go the limit to gain sources of
raw materials and room for ex-
pansion in Europe and northern
Africa.
One of Great Britain's greatest
difficulties, Dodd repeatedly testi-
fed. is the fact that the empire
actually is a loose confederation
of states. some of which might re-
fuse to bear arms in defense Of
the motherland in event of Eu-
ronean war.
He said the overwhelming paci-
fist sentiment of the major powers
was largely RESPONSIBLE for the
war-like. aggressive moves of some
of the dissatisfied nations. He pre-
dicted that in any realignment of
powers, Russia undoubtedly would
be found in the camp of the
"haves" against the "have nots,"
and added that recent Soviet pol
icy has been slanted towards
friendliness with the democratic
nations.
1t was learned that Dodd charged
that after the Intcr-American
peace conference at Buenos Aires
late in 1886, Germany sent secret
agents to the Argentine capital to
undermine the good will engen-
dered by President Roosevelts and
Secretary of State Cordell HulPs
visits.
