The boy cott binds these nations to prohibit importation of “all goods consigned from and grown, produced or man ufactured In Italy or In Italian pos sessions from whatever place they arrive.” If rigidly enforced, this would cut off about two-thirds of the export trade upon which Italy depends in getting funds for prosecution of the war In Africa. The countries ap plying the sanctions agree to aid one another in compensating losses by Increased trade facilities, cred its, cash and loans If possible, and discriminating against league mem bers such as Austria and Hungary which continue to trade with Italy. Austria, Hungary and Albania spoke against the sanctions. Swit zerland, which seeks to preserve her tradldtional neutrality, was si lent. Some South American repub lics made complicated reservations. It was decided ‘that the sanctions should be put In force on October 31, and Laval thus had time to con tinue his peace efforts. These seemed to center on a way to "legal ize'' Italian occupation of that part of northern Ethiopia which Musso lini's troops have seized and to ar range for Italy’s partial control over the entire empire. European Tension Lessened by Diplomatic Juggling IN THE course of his negotiations, which were given approval in the French elections, Laval worked hard to dissipate the threat of hos tilities between Great Britain apd Italy. In this he apparently was fairly successful, at least for the time being. He asked the British to withdraw some of their battle ships from the Mediterranean and Mussolini to call back a lot of the troops he had sent to Libya as a threat to Egypt At first the Brit ish cabinet rejected this proposi tion, but there were reports that It might yield the point. Sir Eric Drummond, British am bassador to Rome, informed the Italian government that Britain would not undertake any action In regard to the conflict in Ethiopia, “beyond what Is demanded by Its collective obligations In its quality as a loyal member of the League of Nations, nor they ond what might He agreed to or recommended by the league on conformity with the dis positions of the pact.” Laval's reply to Great Britain’s query as to whether France would support Britlan and co-operate with her fleet In the Mediterranean in case of Italian attacks was still somewhat uncertain but seemed to satisfy the British. Warns Italy Against “Unfair” War Methods IN A long and solemn statement the Ethiopian legation in London warned Italy that its “ghastly methods” of warfare,. the use of poison gas and dum-dum bullets, would have dire results. The legation stated that' Italy’s nse of “unfair and nltra-clvilized methods of warfare," of which the legation says it has Impartial sub stantiation despite public denials by Ambassador Dino Grandl of Italy, “will lead to the most unfor tunate consequences, not only to Italians who will. Of course,, deserve it, but to all white peoples as well.” The whites, the statement said, "will be intensely hnted by all the peoples ofa Africa and, we think, of Asia also “for years to come.” The statement warned that it will not be possible to restrain the wilder section of the Ethiopian army from retaliating in some sim ilar savage method on Italian sol diers who may happen to fall into their hands. Italians Win Victories jn Soutbern Sector Gen. rudolfo grazianfs forces In southern Ethiopia wer reported to have won several Important victories in their ad vance toward Harrar and the rail way. They captured several towns despite desperate resistance by the natives, and took many prisoners. The main movement in that region ■was up the Webbe Shlbell river. The Ethiopians were repeatedly dis persed by aerial bombardment In Tig re province, on the north, the Italians were consolidating their positions and preparing for another big thrust toward Addis Ababa. Their line there extended nearly 70 miles from Adlgrat through Aduwa to the holy city of Aksum. Italian aviator-scouts reported that Ethiopian troops were digging In at Makale, about 60 miles south east of Aduwa and the next logical objective In the Italian campaign of occupation, forming a major con centration for a dseperate effort to frustrate the next attack. From Dessye, Ethiopia, came a story that Danaktl warriors had cut off and surrounded between 500 and 700 Italians In the hills southeast of Mount Muasa All,'and that the latter were very short of food and water. Helena, Mont., Hit by Series of Quakes HELENA, capital of Montana, and all the western part of that state were terrified by a series of earthquake shocks extending through a number of days. There were only two fatalities, but numer ous buildings were wrecked or so weakened that they had to be razed. Hundreds of persons were driven from their homes, and the suffering was Intensified by a sudden fall of the temperature to below freezing. Fortunately the gas mains of the city were not broken. National Guardsmen patrolled the business district and all public places were closed for days. Senator William E. Murray and Representative John P. Monaghan surveyed the damage, and Murray, terming the quake as “one of Mon tana's worst disasters," said he would go by airplane to Washington to ask Immediate help. Arthur Henderson, Peace Advocate, Is Dead ARTHUR HENDERSON, presi dent of the world disarmament conference and a most determined foe of war, died in a London nurs lng home. He was seventy-two years old and had been ill for a long time, so 111 that he had not been permitted to see a newspaper for six weeks and did not know that another war had broken out and JjgggKgr-J mat peace in Eu rope was threat Artnur ened. The former Henderson ,ron molder ot Glasgow who became a leader of the Labor party and was foreign sec retary when It was In power, was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1934. His crusade for peace and dis armament was Inspired by the death of his eldest son In the World war. He was a gentle, much loved man, a genuine Idealist whose latter years were made sorrowful by the re peated failure of the disarmament conference to get results. Death of General Greely, Arctic Explorer DEATH came to an eminent American, Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. freely, U. S. A., retired, at the age of ninety-one years. He passed away In Walter Reed hospital, Washington, and was buried in Ar lington National cemetery with full honors. General Greely was univer sally known as the leader of the ill fated expedition into the Aretle re gions in 1881 from which only he and seven others returned alive. But he had already served In the Civil war with distinction, and his later scientific accomplishments won him International fame and recog nition. On his ninety-first birthday, last March 27, he received a medal of honor from congress “for bis life of splendid service." General Greely was one of the original organizers of the National Geographic society, apd a member of the board of trustees contlnously for 47 years froth the date of the society’s founding In 1888. • Williams Asks Care for “Unemployables” ALL states and communities have been asked by Aubrey Wil liams, acting WPA administrator, to make better provision for the care of “unemployables,” for federal aid for the needy will soon be confined to providing jobs. Inaan Interview Mr. Williams said that with six states already cut off the dole, prog ress of the work relief program would bring liquidation of relief ad ministrations In “the great majority of the remaining states" during No vember. This will leave those phys ically or mentally unable to work, the aged, mothers with dependent children, and other handicapped families and Individuals, dependent upon local efforts. “It will be next year before the social security program becomes op erative, and the states have got to take the responsibility.” be said. i Dr. Hugh S. Magin Objects to Snoopers ‘ DR. HUGH S. MAGILL, who as president of the American Fed eration of Investors has been an noyed by congressional Investiga tors, has written to all members of congress a letter asking whether American citizens “still have the right to express their approval or disapproval with respect to pend ing legislation without being har assed by 'inquisitors.'" The federation opposed the recent enactment of the “death shentence” for “unnecessary” holding com panies, and was under Investiga tion by the senate lobby committee. In an open letter to senators and representatives, Maglll said he had “refused” to permit representatives of the committee “to read my per sonal and private correspondence.” He asserted ’the federation “Is not a lobbying organization as that term Is commonly used.” “Having thus been confronted by these Inquisitors sent out by a com mittee of the senate,” Maglll wrote, “may I inquire In all seriousness whether or not you approve of such action? If you do approve, how can you Justify such procedure when the Constitution specifically provides that the ‘right of the people to be secure In their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreason able searches and seizures shall not be violated’?” Senator Vandenberg Not Candidate for Anything SENATOR ARTHUR H. VAN DENBURG of Michigan, who has been mentioned frequently as a possible Republican nominee for the ... Presidency, came DacK rrom a sum mer tour of Eu rope and declared flatly he Is “not a candidate for any thing on earth.” He did not attempt to predict who would he named by the Republicans, but did Senator Vandenberg stay etc icu uic u. O. P. would win In “I think Presi dent Roosevelt wrote his obituary in his first speech In congress In March, 1933,” he said, “all histo rians will show it. when he said ‘most liberal governments have been wrecked on the rocks of loose fiscal policies and we must take care to avoid that.’ ” Liberal spending by the New Deal was defended by Senator Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the senate banking committee. In an interview he said that “government activities and expenditures have restored about $10,000,000,000 of bank credit lost in the $21,000,000,000 deflation of 1930-33. "Business Is going to get the bene fit of that. The money the govern ment Is putting out Is going to peo ple who are putting It In the banks. It is increasing purchasing power and likewise expanding the credit facilities of the banks.” Republicans Happy Over Bay State Election TT DOESN’T take much these 1 days to cause the Republicans to rejoice. The latest event hailed by them as a harbinger of victory next year was merely a by-electlon in Massachusetts to fill a vacancy in the state senate. The district nor mally is Republican, and this time as usual a Republican was elected. The reason for the G. O. P. shouts was found In the decreased vote polled by the Democrats, and the fact that Salem, a mill town and former Democratic stronghold,' was captured by the Republicans. Democratic leaders said that the issues of the election were purely local and that the reverse at most was a rebuff for the administration of Democratic Gov. James Curley. The Republican leaders asserted that the New Deal no less than Curley was involved. Industrial Union Bloc Loses Warm Fight JOHN L. LEWIS, president of the United Mine Workers, and his Industrial union bloc lost a hot bat tle when the American Federation of Labor, In conventlou In Atlantic City, voted to continue the policy adopted last year In San Francisco. This policy was to organize work ers In mass production Industries, such as automobile hnd.steel, along Industrial lines with due protection of the rights of craft unions. William Green was re-elected president of the federation and next year’s convention was awarded to Tampa, Fla. Proposals for the for mation of a national Labor party were defeated. Sibert, Panama Canal Builder, Is Dead Mai gen. william U si bert, one of the three men who really built the Panama canal, and last survfvihg member of the canal commission, died at the age af seventy-live at his country home near Bowling Green, Ky. He was burled In Arlington National ceme tery with full military honors. General Slbert's career as en gineer and soldier was distin guished. He was made brigadier general by special act of congress for his services In connection with the building of the Panama cannl. During the World war be command ed the First division of the A. E.

The biggest Item of difference Is the cost of their clothing. The largest item In the average male student's budget Is meals, with clothing second, while clothing outlay tops the coed’s bud get with meals secondary. The co ed spends almost twice as much for clothing as does the average male student. Popular opinion to the con trary notwithstanding, the modern coed smokes only a fraction as much as the average male student, and spends little more per month on bar ber and beauty shop combined than he spends In the barber shop. These are some of the tacts revealed In a study of university students’ actual living expenditures, conducted b.v the Northwestern National Life Insur ance company of Minneapolis. Detailed records of their expendi tures were kept by 362 students at the University of Minnesota. In uni form account books. The students were well distributed In different de partments of study and were about evenly divided between those affili ated with fraternities or sororities, and those not so affiliated. Aside from tuition, the average male student spent $59.75 per month In the 1934 35 school year, and the average wom an student spent $77.97 per month, the company’s report shows. Men students from out-of-town spent $21.87 per month for meals,. $13.29 per month for clothes, and $9.89 per month for room rent Out-of-town women students spent almost as much for meals as the men—$19.78 monthly—and considerably more than the men for room rent—$12.56 monthly. The average clothing ex penditure for all women students participating In the budget record was $22.50 per month, or almost dou ble the expenditures of the men stu dents for raiment. Surprising repression of personal vanity was exhibited In the women's expenditures of only 76 cents per month more than men students for the Item of barber and beautv shops; the women’s records show $1.51 per month expended, w^ile the men averaged 75 cents per month. Against $1.58 spent per month for to bacco and cigarettes by each man CROCHETED FLOWERS FOR POT HOLDERS By GRANDMOTHER CLARK Pot holders crocheted wltn heavy string are very practical and when made in flower forms aye really love ly.

An out-of-town student’s expenses run about $35 more a month than those of the fortunate one wjio can live at home, the records show. Ex clusive of fees’, out-of-town students’ average expenditures were $81.16 per month, while those living at home only hgd to pay out an average of $44.55 a month attending school. Expenditures of the fraternity men were double those- of non-fraternity men, according to the expense rec ords. the G reek-letter men spending an average of $96.50 per month as against $47.21 per month expended by those not affiliated. There was a somewhat narrower margin between the expenditures of sorority and non sorority women, the records show ing $96.54 and $65.88 per month, re spectively. Fraternity men spent an average of $13.70 per month for amusements as against an average of $6.16 per month for the same Item expended by men outside the letter organiza tions. Fraternity and club dues of the men students were only $10.96 per month as against $16.82 per month expended by sorority girls. The men students taking part in the inquiry averaged 38 per cent self supporting. Fraternity men on the average earned 28 per cent of all their expenses; nonaftiliated men contributed an average of 41 per cent of their expenses. The average for women was 15 per cent self-support ing; 11 per cent for sorority mem bers and 18 per cent for nonaffiliated girls. POWER, OFFICE, NOT WEALTH, THE ' GOAL IN RUSSIA The ambition which under a differ ent system might find expression in acquiring a personal fortune can find an outlet In the Soviet Union only through advancement in the servict of the omnipotent state. Instead of the stimulus to accumu late private wealth, the Soviet system offers to men who rise high In the helrarchy of political and Industrial administrators the equally strong In centive of power, accompanied by a standard of living which, though modest by comparison with what a rich man of luxurious tastes can en joy In western Burope and America, is still far above the bleak Soviet average. To a foreigner who Is accustomed to think of the Soviet ruble as worth about 2 cents a Soviet high official or “captain of Industry" receives a mod erate salary which may seem ridicu lously smaH, but his position Is some thing like tha$ of an army officer In many other countries. The salary Is, indeed, small, but the perquisites of office provide nu merous compensations. An impor tant post in the Soviet Union carries with it a comfortable apartment, the use of a motor car, the right to eat in a good restaurant at a nominal charge, adrhlsslon to the best rest homes and sanatoria, a private car for travel on the railroads and other advantages. These things are valuable In Rus sia just because there Is such a gen eral shortage of what would be re garded elsewhere as normal food, housing and transportation accom modations.—VV. H. Chamberlin la Current History. Scientists Say Gulf Stream Warms Europe, and Not U. S. One by one our cherished de lusions fall. It has long been taught that the Gulf Stream governs the cli mate of the southern and eastern parts of the United States, but scien tists dispute this—rather warmly. They say It Is not the thing which makes the Gulf and South Atlantic states warm, but that It Is the cause of the comparative mildness of the climate of northern Europe. The Gulf Stream is a fascinating subject. It was probably discovered by Ponce de Leon. Its first practical delineation came through that most versatile of all Americans, Benjamin Franklin, and was later defined In concise and understandable scientific terms by Capt Matthew F. Maury, the great “oceanographer.” It was his theory of the stream as a heating apparatus which first attracted world attention. The fact is the stream Is heated up In the Gulf for Its long journey to the North. The Gulf par tially governs the stream. Beginning down in the Antarctic region, an ocean current moves slow ly up the South American coast, gath ering heat as It goes. Somewhere about the northeastern part of South America another current comes In. These merge their waters in the land locked Gulf of Mexico. This current sweeps a semi-circular way through the Gulf, runs only a few miles from Florida and Georgia coasts and heads toward the Arctic. Scientists say the Gulf Stream real ly makes Norway and Sweden habit able ; the climate there la not nearly so severe as that of Alaska, about the same distance from the Nortl pole. The British Isles are said to gain greatly by the heat of the stream; it accounts for the fairly warm and moist climate. The stream Is finally lost somewhere In the Arc tic seas. This stream, some 6,000 miles long, has considerable velocity and irresistible force. It affects navi gation. In the early days of the Amer ican colonies the British seamen were bothered by it and lost many days against the Yankee skippers. The reason was the Yankees knew the stream and utilized it or refused to fight it, and the English skippers blundered Into its power. It is estimated the Gulf Stream, at its greatest depth and force when It reaches the open Atlantic, discharges water at the rate of 100,000,000,000 gallons per hour, or 1,000 times more than the Mississippi river. It seems to be practically unvarying through the centuries.—Tulsa Daily World. Leap Frog Golf As Oscar I.e&th of Keidsvllle, N. C„ struck his golf ball, there was a load grunt. He’d never heard a ball pro test against being hit He watched it sail 100 yards. Then he saw so other object fall. He Investigated and found a bullfrog. His club had lifted both ball and frog into the air. How Calotabs Help Nature To Throw Off a Bad Cold Millions have found in Calotabs a most valuable aid in the treatment of colds.
