clusion of a secret Anglo-Italiar
agreement, designed to effect 6
quick rapprochement between the
two countries, is being considered
by the British cabinet today.
Such an agreement, it wa
learned, would be based on the fol
lowing four points:
/. Italy is to abandon all in
tervention in Spain-but quietly,
and without any public atten-
tion being focused on the with
drawal.
2. There will be no granting
Of belligerents' rights to the
Spanish insurgents. Generals
simo Francisco Franco, rebel
chief, is prepared to drop his
demand for them.
RECOGNIZE ETHIOPIA
8. Britain will recognize the
Italian conquest Of Ethiopia as
soon as London is fully con-
vinced that italy is actually re-
calling her volunteer" from
Spain-probably within the next
few weeks.
4. Britain will bring pressure
upon the loyalists in Spain to
send their own foreign "volun-
teers" back whence they came,
under the threat that Italy,
otherwise, will resume interven-
ton on a large scale.
Experts have estimated that Il
would take six months for an In
ternational commission to effect
substantial withdrawal Of "volun
teers" from Spain, and even ther
there would be no assurance Of
successful outcome Of the plan

Equality for Japan
Asked by Fish

UN.sJ A proposal that the
United States call a world naval
conference with the aim to give

Testifying on the 100000
naval expansion program, Fish
opposed further naval building on
the ground the present Navy is
adequate for national defense
unless we want to police the

PROPOSAL AssAnED
Fish's proposal came as warfare
broket out among congressman
over q proposal by Senator King
(D.) of Utah and Representative
Maverick CD Of Texas that Presi-

Denunciation Of the King.

drew from the washington treaty
establishing the 5-S-S naval
ratio.

have the opportunity for world
peace once again." he added.
,Japan's refusal to divulge details
of her naval program, whipped up
sentiment in Congress for expedi

ness program.
OPPOSES FARLEY
Il think any action by the
Senate now calling for an inter-
national armament conference"
said Pittman, would weaken the
effect Of our Governments firm

"One rainy day a clerk was work
ing behind the window of a New York
post ONCE when a wet and hungry
dog walked in," the letter continued.
THE clerk, feeling sorry for the
dog. fed him. So the dog took the
post office to be his new home and he
became a favorite among the postal
men and began to travel in their cars.
"The dogs friends named him
Owney, and soon he became a great
favorite
"Owney enjoyed riding in freight
cars and ships with the mail. and he
was allowed to do this. And every
where he went he was presented with
medals
once he went as far as China,
where the Emperor, thinking him q
strange creature, gave him another
medal
Returning to the United States,
Owney travelled through the States,
but his journey was abruptly ended.
One postmaster. thinking him stray
dog had him shot.
But Owney was sent to the Smith
sonian to be stuffed. and later he was
placed in the museum at the Post
Once Department. Here he has q

Donald explained. Il was collecting

The biggest key in his collection
is about inches long. It Is also
one Of the Oldest, having been made
in 1880 for the front door OF the

His smallest key is about a quarter
of an inch long. It once opened

fashioned chain bracelet together.
Donald has several keys almost as
old as the one from Raleigh. Re-

because Donald got so far out ahead

PAPER Is Made
OF Wood Pub

IN THE early days Of King Tut
ankh-Amen-And after-there was
little enough need for paper.
1t was . rare scholar who could
read his hieroglyphics. and . rarer
one who could write them. And 20 a
little paper was suficient for 4 long
time.
But in those days paper, like every
thing else, was made by hand. In
deed, it was made by hand for CEN
turies, but while so little Of it was
required. the limited amount q skilled
workman could make in q day was
adequate.
Gradually, however. things changed,
and after several centuries had set
tied the dust over Tut-ankh- -Amen's
royal tomb, paper had become more
or less necessary part of civilization.
BY the time the 10Th century had
rolled around. the demand for cheap
and abundant paper was so urgent
that machines for its manufacture
were invented. Today those machines
have been so changed and perfected
that they can produce tons OF paper
in a day.
OF course, the most abundantly
made paper nowadays is cheap news
print paper. A single edition Of any
large daily newspaper actually re-
quires tons Of paper.
Newsprint paper-which Is the poor
est Of all qualities of paper-is merely
mashed and ironed wood pulp. Many
kinds OF logs are used. the best sorts
having little resin in them.
The logs are ground into mush. the
wood fibers float OF loosely separated
in the water and are caught on a wire
screen. The function of the paper
machine Is to dry and iron the wet,
thin layer Of pulp into sheets of paper,
by means Of hot rollers.
But the better grades of paper are
made by dissolving out, with various
chemicals, all Of the impurities. like
resin. in the wood until only the fiber
remains. Spruce, balsam and hem
lock are the best woods for this pur-
pose.
In former years. old rags were used
IN the manufacture Of the best paper.
but now wood fiber has been success-
fully substituted for them. Straw.
cornstalks, fiax, bamboo and many
other fibers are more and more taking
the place Of the pulp Of forest trees
In the manufacture Of paper, which
Is one Of the five largest industries Of
America.
