The question OF whether gen.
tleman's formal evening clothes
should be laid away at the begin
ming of summer to reappear in
the autumn, or whether they may
be kept In use throughout the
summer. depends somewhat upon
climate but very much more upon
whether formal evening weddings
are customary in his community.
In hot climates, where evening
weddings are the general rule. but
where formality Is followed only
so far as Is necessary, white din
ner jackets have in the last few
years almost entirely replaced full
dress. In very formal communi-
ties, on the other hand, gentlemen
cling to the convention OF black
tail coats. Smart summer evening
clothes are made of tropical wors-
ted and are really no hotter--so
they ssy-than white linen.

OF course women talk too much.
Don't most OF Us at some time

10 have this woman prove to me
that women talk too much any

work in an office where a few
male mental giants are busy right

their own and everyone else's time
BY forever arguing politics and
solving the destiny of this nation
and the world in general. II one
OF the women who work In this
office were to waste half as much
time in windy wisdom as these
men do, she would be branded as
a typical feminine gabber."

AS ITALY ENTERS WAR
ETHIOPIANS IN REVOLT
BY Crusader News Agency

With Italy's entry into the Euro
pean war, the Ethiopian guerilla forces
which have never given up the armed
struggle against the Italian invaders,
have undertaken an extensive often
sive against Italian garrisons and troop
concentrations in the East African
country, according to reports from
London and Jibuti.
Minor engagements are reported to
have occurred between units of the
Italian Army of Occupation and que
rilla forces. In the northwest provin-
ces of Harrar and Gojam Italian
troops are said to have been defeated
in a number of clashes and are now
surrounded by guerilla forces.
The guerilla leaders already have
more than 100000 troops in the field
and despite four years of Italian oc-
cupation, the Italians have been unable
to effectively occupy vast sections of
the country. The guerillas, poorly
armed as result of Anglo-French
cooperation in keeping modern arms
out of their hands, have been receiving
machine guns and rifles during the
past few days from British and French
sources, now that Italy has lined up
with Germany against the badly bat
tered Anglo allies.
Italian forces in the country are
estimated at 10000 to $4,000 white
troops, and some $4,000 native auxi-
liaries whose loyalty to the Italian
regime is doubtful. The white
troops include one motorized division
of 10000 men.
In London it was intimated that
Britain might supply the Ethiopians
with arms and ammunition through
Kenya and the Sudan. British Off
cials are now dickering with Emperor
Halle Selassie for Ethiopian support
of Britain in the war. The Emperor
after four years of betrayal and neg
1ect by Britain, was suddenly invited
to come to London from his obscure
home in Bath for a conference with
British government officials.
The results of the conference are not
known yet, but the Emperor has SO
far declined to issue statement in
support of Britian's war aims. What
ever action the Emperor takes, he
will have to reckon with sentiments
of the guerilla leaders in Ethiopia
who have never forgiven the Anglo
French betrayal of their country and,
while determined to utilize the pre-
sent situation to press the armed
struggle for Ethiopian independence,
are reliably reported to be highly sus-
picious of Britian's intensions regard
ing Ethiopia, in the event of an Alli-
ed victory.

FOES OF JIM-cRoW JUSTICE
CALLED FIFTH coLUMNIsTsn

New York, June (CNA) - When
three Brooklyn citizens this week tri-
ed to exercise their right of petition to
protest the frame-up of Negro
youth. they were insulted, pushed
around, called "fifth columnists' and
detained against their will in the
Brooklyn office of District Attorney
William O'Dwyer.
Calling at O'Dwyer office to deliver
petition with ten thousand signatu-
res demanding the release of John
Williams, Brooklyn youth, they were
informed by O'Dwyer that their names
would be turned over to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. O'Dwyer
later initiated, in his own account.
witch-hunt against Kings County
Communist Party which he charged
with leading Negroes in subversive
activity" -..
The delegation that called at ths
District Attorneys office was COM
posed of one colored and two white
persons: Bob Campbell, State Com
mittee member of the Communist
Party; Mike Saunders, county chair
man of the Young Communist League
and Sadie Burke, progressive Brook
iyn woman leader. The positions re-
quested that O'Dwyer dismiss the case
against Joe Williams, who was twice
convicted on an alleged rape-charee.
with the convictions twice reversed by
a higher court on the ground that the
convictions were not justified on the
basis of the evidence presented. The
case at present rests with O'Dwver
who has been accused of trying to use
the Williams case to advance his Do
litical career.
The treatment of the delegation was
sharply assailed by Abraham Unger.
white civil Liberties and labor attorney.
who declared: These citizens of
Brooklyn interested in equal protective
laws for Negroes, have the right to ex-
press their opinions that John Viii
iiams should be freed, after spending
more than two years in Jail on
charge which the appellate division
rejected twice.
That is the expression of the right
OF free speech and assembly in the
truest sense of the word. 1t is the at
tempt to deny that right which con-
stitutes breakdown of law enforce
ment.
Judge O'Dwyer, having himself
been the target of witch-hunters should
be the last person to identify himself
with those persons who use the term
fifth column" as pretext for at
tacles upon the rights of citizeas.

And that's what got me these few
months, how many of them? NINE
They took me to that dirty Jail, and
stripped me down you see
And the worst old suit of dirty rags
they dished right out to me.
One trouser leg was too long, the
other at my knee,
And if you delite in funny things you
should have just seen me.
They kept me in that awful place, till
one month rolled around,
And when they took me to the central
prison, had lost just IS pounds.
They put me in the north shop, and at
work l did begin,
And l stayed in the north shop until
it came to its fatal end.
One day the sargent came to me, says
boy, you look strong,
Would you not like to go to Guelph
to work upon the farm?
And when the sargent asked me that
he really got my goat,
And every time l tried to speak, these
words choked in my throat.
Sir, / am getting old and feeble, and
