Halle Selassie's Men
Flock To His Cause

KHARTOUM, Anglo-Egyptian Su-
dan, Jan. 12.-R-Haile Selassie, de-
throned by his italian conquerors
five years ago, is receiving a con-
slant stream of tribal revolutionary
agents in this city only 800 miles
from the Ethiopian frontier.
These native tribesmen loyal to the
ex-emperor have been evading Italian
border patrols to cross into the Su-
dina and contact the Lion of Judah
who has set up an informal court
here.
Here they receive guns and am
munition furnished them by the Brit
ish through their exiled leader, and
re-enter Ethiopia to carry on guerril-
la activities against the Italians.

No accurate accounting NAV no

If one stumbles off a mule trail
a few feet, n is likely to blunder'

of unexploded hand grenades,
bayonets, packs of ammunition and
explosion-torn refuse.
These nests of shallow trenches
hang onto the sides of Jagged
peaks, cloaked in mist.
Trench mortar and machine gun
positions are cunningly concealed.
The steep slopes with brush be-
low them are laced with barbed

The positions look impregnable

charge up the slopes on the run.
Somehow they dodge a rain of

Somehow they smash through the

BY w. B. RAGSDALE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-R-A
plan to take care of the families
OF those who go into military serv-
ice is being worked out for incor-
poration in the social security pro-
gram.
Informed officials say it will be
sent to the capitol in the new ses-
sion of congress along with a re-
newal of suggestions that farm and
domestic workers be added to the
50, 900, 900 men and Women in in
dustry and commerce who already
have social security accounts.
Tor the needy man who needs
the call to military service, the
plan being considered would work
something like this: AS a soldier,
he would get $50 a month. Of this,
he might keep S. and allot $25 to
the needs Of his family. In addi-
ton, through the federal security
agency, the government would pay
another SIS or $40, perhaps even
more, toward the support of his
family, the amount depending
somewhat upon the number of de-
pendents and their need.
The adoption of such a plan, like
that for broadening the scope of
the social security laws, would be
dependent upon the wishes of con-
gress. One of the big difficulties
about bringing farm and domestic
workers under the social security
law has been the development of
a method of collecting taxes to
cover them. Officials now speak
of the possibilities of a stamp tax.
What the attitude of congress
might be is problematical. 1t might
easily adopt n of the plans and
bat down the other, it might &C
cept both, or it might refuse to
agree to either. Efforts to include
farm and domestic workers have
failed in the past.
Already the social security agen-
cy is approving about a thousand
claims for benefits a day from re-
tired wage earners, their a G e d
wives, and from widows, orphans
or the dependent parents of work.
ers who have died. Benefits of
this type became available only
last January and upward of 237, 900
such claims have been approved
already. Benefit payments are 60
ing out to them at the rate of $4,-
$50. 900 a month. That figures out
to an average of $17.93 a person.
Actually, there is considerable
variation in the figures for the diff
ferent groups. Retired workers OF
IS or older are getting an average
of $22.72 a month. Added to this,
in many cases, is the $12.21 a
month drawn by wives who are IS
or older. Children under 10 get an
average of $12.23 a month. Widows
IS or older get .$20.45. Widows OF
workers who have died, and with
children under 10, are getting an
average of $19.73 a month. And de-
pendent parents of insured workers
who have died are getting an aver
age of $13.11.-
Twenty eight million workers
now are covered by unemployment
compensation laws, operating in
all the states, which help them to
bridge the gaps between jobs. Sig

Can't 1t Be Arranged?

When the town water is
shut off, an occurrence which
is necessary and unavoidable,
some sort of warning should
be given to the Smyrna peo-
pie. 1t is most inconvenient
to many to discover them
selves without water, when, if
they had known beforehand,
some arrangement could have
been made. The business peo-
pie and housewives would ap-
preciate some system whereby
the entire town can be notified
of the waters being shut off.
Could not some arrangement
be made with the fire company
to blow one blast on the siren
as such a warning. It would
seem that by this relatively
simple means, Smyrna people
would benefit by a great CON
venience.

Join the Red Cross

More than ever before, sup
port of the American Red
Cross is vital at this time.
That organization is seeking
to sell its membership to a fig
ure comparable to the days of
the first World War, when
more than 100000 adult
members were enrolled under
the Red Cross banner.
Four of the Red Cross SER
vices, disaster relief, nursing,
First Aid and nutrition, are
being geared to stand ready
as relief units in time of ma
tional emergency, as part of
the United States Civil De-
fense. Increased threat to
the lives of civilians has Gre
ated an obligation of national
preparedness.
Already, the Red Cross has
provided more than 81, 100000
worth of athletic equipment,
for which government funds
were lacing, to aid the morale
of our soldiers and sailors.
So much has already been
done, but the Red Cross needs
money, much more money, to
operate. Anyone who joins

Smyrna is doing a part in the
defense of this nation. The
drive here starts on Novem-

Accepting Criticism
correefs Ego Foulfs

TN understanding personalities,
i the most important key is the
fact that every human being begins
in infancy to form a mental picture
of himself. From birth, the baby
gathers impressions about how i'm
portant or unimportant he is, and
what he can or cannot do. These
impressions make up his mental
image which he believes ito be a
true one.
Such mental pictures are imper-
feet, write Roy Dickerson and Fritz
Kunkel in the August issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, and it is
psychologically significant that the
Individual feels that his mental
image correctly depicts him. This
inaccurate picture is called Ego,
and is important because every
individual tends to play the part
of the person he thinks he is.
There are four basic Ego pat
terms, the authors contend, and they
call them Nero, Clinging Vine, Star,
and Gaby. The Nero, a superiority
pattern, is apparent in person
charming and gracious to friends,
but a tyrant at home; in social or
business activities the tendency to
dominate is again noticeable. An
entirely different type, the authors
point out, is the Clinging Vine.
Here is capable person, desirous
of getting ahead, but through the
necessity of depending on someone
else, unable to make decisions
promptly and at the right time.
Still another sort is the Star pat
tern. This type is able and inf1uen-
tial but deeply jealous of his pres
tige, and RACES inwardly when his
path is crossed. The fourth, or Gaby
type, is also capable, but SO imbued
with thought that the rest of the
world is against him, that his life
is frustrated. n
1t is the authors premise that
no person conforms to any one Ego
pattern, but is rather a mixture in
varying degrees of two or more
basic types. To overcome the handi-
caps of the traits displayed by
these familiar types, they have
made the following common sense
suggestions which are in fact the
best applied psychology.
1. Learn how to face criticism.
The more criticism hurts, the more
is the probability that it contains
some truth. 2. Always be on the
lookout for sound advice. Do not
delude yourself into believing you
are wise or strong enough to work
out all your problems yourself. 3.
Lose yourself effectively in a good
cause. AS far as you can, replace
the conscious or unconscious efforts
to serve your Ego with service to
others. A. Seek new experiences in
fields in which you are most under
developed. Everyone should seek to
enlarge his experiences by doing
things that are most difficult for
him.

Vitamin C is essential to the we'll
being of bones and teeth and to help
maintain a high level of health.
1t is one yitamin we must get every
single day of our lives since it can
not be stored in the body, So you
see how important tomatoes and
tomato juice are in our diet.
Getting enough Vitamin c is
simple One glassful of tomato juice
supplies sufficient Vitamin C for the
day. And a good time to enjoy it
is breakfast time because a glassful
of chilled tomato juice is a fine
rousing start on the day.
In buying tomato juice select a
brand that offers the real taste of
fresh tomatoes. Fresh tomato flavor
is achieved by using only tomatoes
that are fully ripe and luscious and
taking just the juice that comes
from a first light squeeze. Nothing
is added but pinch of salt. Canned
this way the juice is true in flavor,
a lively red in color and of the same
consistency from the top of the can
to the bottom.
For breakfast, tomato juice is
best served plain, with maybe
wedge of lemon on the side or, for
a change, you might occasionally
try this simple variation:
Tomato Juice with Lime
l can IA oz.) tomato juice
" teaspoon salt
tablespoon fresh lime juice
Add the salt and fresh lime Juice
to the tomato juice. Chill and serve.
