Who Did That

Who Did That
When George Varney awoke dur
ing the night not long ago he was
SO thirsty he finally decided he
would have to have drink or lie
awake until morning wanting one.
/ 1t didn't take him long to realize
THAT the electric light in the re-
frigerator as off. That's bad, he
thought sleepily, that means the
\ refrigerator isn't working. So he
found some fuses and put them in
wherever fuses are supposed to CO.
No light.
He told his wife about it the next
morning and she telephone for
trouble shooter. The box was in
good order the trouble shooter in
formed her, and therefore the
trouble must be in the wall or cell
ing Next she telephoned for an
electrician. The electrician and his
helper craWled all around in the
opening between roof and ceiling,
checked the wires in the walls.
They tested this and that. Every
thing was in good order.
Now" said the electrician like
a hound on the trail of fox" we
will begin at the beginning and
! do it all over again. Where is this
Fbox hooked up?" Mrs. Varney
pointed to a switch in the wall.
The button was turned to OFF.
The electrician punched the but
. ton to ON and the refrigerator
started.

department these days. Such an
upheaval of house cleaning is in
progress that the whole staff, men

usually associated with a housewife
in the throes of the annual fall
cleanup. DR.. E. B. Godfrey, county

Northwestern Ethiopia tableland ap-
parently were the 10000 to 10000
survivors, of Italy's fleeing Eritrean
army. Five hundred miles farther
south the Duke of Aosta's Ethiopian
army was falling back toward Adds
Ababa with imperial columns in
pursuit.
OF their setback in Libya, the
British said the withdrawal from
Bengasi was "in pursuance of the
policy of waiting to choose our own
battlefield. Bengasi is inde-
fensible from a military point Of
view and it has not been used by
us as port"
The East African campaign, how
ever, was summed up by one official
In the words "Eritrea is in the bag
and Ethiopia is going that way"
British general headquarters said
the pursuit in East Africa was so
rapid that there had been little
news from the forward units except
that progress had not slackened.
Whether the Italians would draw
up for a stand at Aduwa, natural
Ethiopian fortress so miles south of
fallen Asmara, or would press on
toward Adds Ababa to join the Duke
of Aosta's army, was matter for
speculation.
Spearheads Menace Adds Ababa.
The British admitted the difficult
Ethiopian terrain would aid the
italians in fighting a strong rear
guard action. but expressed doubt
that they could travel the 500 miles
to Adds Ababa in time to be of
help to Aosta's retreating troops.
Adds Ababa, the British said, is
threatened by converging spear
heads of the main South African
force on the Diredawa road and i'm
perial forces striking north from
Neghelli and by a general rising of
native patriots"
Referring to the patriot" rising,
the British pointed out that after
the fall of both Asmara and
Diredawa Italian military and civil
authorities had asked the British to

heavy Italian forces between the
city and British troops driving west

Railroad.
The biggest Fascist concentrations
were reported along the Awash
River, 100 miles east of Adds Ababa.
Along with this thrust and the
drive from Eritrea, other British and
native columns are pressing toward
the Ethiopian capital from the
north, south and east.

The imperial forces were said to
have caught up with the Fascists at
Adj Ugri, 40 miles southeast of As
mara on the highway leading toward
the Ethiopian frontier. Mopping up
operations between there and the
Eritrean capital were under way.

It made no difference. however. as the Elks scored two runs in both the fourth and fifth, and held the Red Coats down to only one more run for the remainder of the game.
 Last Run
 At the end of the fifth. the Elks had taken IA hits from Erskine, and then the Douglas nine came up to bat to take their last run in the fray. Alex Miller took first on Rab- bit Ellenberg's error and then came in for the run as Rabbit made an- other error and allowed Stewart to make first.
 From then on the battle was strictly Elks as the lodgemen tripped and ripped through the game to end with their side of the score doubled over the Islanders tiny five runs.

 Russia pushed her border into Poland during it's partitioning with Germany at the start of the war and incorporated the states of Lithuania, Latvia, Es- tOnia and the the Russian ter ritOry of Bessarabia and north- ern Bucovina about a year ago.
 Whether Russia will withdraw from her bases in the territory she wrested from Finland to guard the land and sea ap- breaches to Leningrad, remains to be seen, but the Finnish gov- ernment's statement of neutral ity was followed by a denial that German forces are using Finnish bases.
