More Paint

Dear Scoop:
We have often wondered in what
land and when, the fashion of painting
cheeks, lips and finger nails, as women
of today are doing, first originated.
Recently, in reading Magellan" by
Hildebrand, our query was solved. On
page 243 of this book we read, "ln the
afternoon the Queen came to the plat
form. She was young and beautiful,
her mouth and nails stained red"
Is it not strange that women Of a
Christian land should go back to- 1920
and follow the fashion of heather
island discovered by Magellan?
Please give your idea on this in
your column.
Yours respectfully,
Etaoin Shrdlu.
*##
For my own personal ideas, you
know what happens to bull when he
sees red. The degree of madness de-
ponds upon the degree of red. The
milder the better, if anybody cares to
ask me. But who will?

FRICTION OVER
BRITISH POLICY
IN VIENNA Seen
Eden and Chamberlain at
Odds; Former May
Resign

LONDON, Feb. 10. (UP)
The British cabinet wres-
tied anxiously with the Eu-
ropean problem today and
as the critical emergency
session dragged on, reports in
creased that there was friction over
Britain's policy.
After an hour and a half, ru-
mors were widespread that Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, at odds
with Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain over Italy and Austria,
might resign.
Results of conferences yesterday
in which Chamberlain, Eden and
Dino Grandl, Italian ambassador,
took part have been communicated
to the German government it was
understood.
1t was largely on the basis of
these conferences that the cabinet
meeting was called today.
Grandi yesterday declined to dis
cuSs the Austrian situation and
made it plain that any approach
toward Anglo Italian agreement
must be accompanied by British
recognition OF the Italian conquest
OF Ethiopia, it was reported.
The general impression was that
the differences between Chamber
lain and Eden would be solved by
compromise because it is necessary
to maintain a. solid cabinet front,
both because of the international
situation and because of the inter-
nal reaction which would ensue.

MOBILIZATION
BILL BROUGHT
UP IN TOKYO
Sweeping Measure Calls
For Use of Every
Vital Resource

TOKYO, Feb. 10. (UP)-
The government introduced
in parliament today a sweep
ing general mobilization bill
providing for mobilization of
every necessary resource in time
of emergency.
Munitions general industrial,
shipping, mining and other essen
tial branches of the national econo-
my may be mobilized under the bill.
Its introduction in the diet, the
lower house, came one day after
vague but obviously important
statement from Imperial head
quarters, the supreme war author
ity. that the armed forces would
be reorganized and "replenished
in according with long term opera
tions."
The mobilization bill meant that
every ounce of the national strength
was to be girded for a struggle that
seemed farther and farther from
its end.
