DOWNS CORRESPONDENT I. NEW YORK, July a recruiting station going full blast in Harlem "Commander" Samue Daniels today declared Secretary of State Cordcll Hull said a big mouthful when he expressed the fear the Italo-Abyssmian trouble would spread beyond Ethiopia's sun-scorched borders. "According to statistics," Com mander Daniels said as he enrolled the names of porters mechanics, cooks and bottle washers who have volunteered to fight II Duce, "more than 1,000,000 people of our race are ready to leave for Ethiopia." The commander, a dusky carbon copy of a British major, questioned his recruits in clipped English accents which he picked up in London after leaving his triba home in Africa.

Each recruit laic the line before he Commander Dan- RASPBERRY SOON WILL BE ON MARKET a large army from a quarter on was accepted. "Gentlemen," iels told the recruits, "we got to fight them. There's 5,000 volunteers in Detroit, 7,500 in Chicago and Harlem's going to give us 15,000. We got over 400 now. "We got to hurry because the King of Abyssinia is going to declare war in September.

We're going to get a big boat and sail across. Gentlemen, just give your names, addresses and experience, and give me two-bits, that's for the overhead. You know the expense of running this." Daniels, a 27-year-old mechanic, was never a soldier himself and says he will leave the military training to somebody else. A former African tribesman, he educated himself catch-as-can around the world, winding up in Harlem 1924. He predicts the King of Kings will draw America.

Father Major J. Divine, the spec- head of a cult which boasts more than 10,000 followers In Harem and Newark, N. looks askance at Daniels' activities, however, and said today he will main- ain a "hands off" policy in case of war. Asked if he would go to the aid of Abyssinia, he said through his iecretary: "I will help the Ethiopians the ame as everybody else. I am gong to help everybody, regardless race, creed or color." Did that include the blackshirts? "Everybody," he replied.

The Benton Harbor (Mich.) municipal fruit market and subsequently the Hammond housewife soon will be getting the raspberry. Not the Bronx cheer type of raspberry, but the savory red and black varieties that last year moved from farms in southwestern Michigan to Hammond grocers and fruit dealers.

Sale of both red and black raspberries has started in Berrlen county, Michigan, the county the federal census credits with having the largest raspberry acreage in the nation. Through Its main trading center, the Benton Harbor city-owned market, moved nearly seven million packages of fruit and vegetables last year to Hammond and other communities. Many fruits producing sections this year suffered severe losses from excessive rain. The territory around Benton Harbor will have lighter volume of raspberries, but conservative estimates indicate that 285,000 crates will be sold at Benton Harbor by growers within the next 30 days. Already the King variety of red raspberry is being sold there to Indiana buyers and truckers.

Kings will be followed by the Cuthbert and Latham types of reds. All are excellent for canning. Black raspberries, which also are popular for table and processing purposes, will be mostly of the large juicy Cumberland variety.

Barnett and his wife, Genevieve. were arrested in front of a theater several weeks back by police who said they were intoxicated and creating a disturbance.

The bald-headed movie comedian protested that the law must be "ribbing" him, declaring fans had mobbed him after making a personal appearance at the theater. He denied at the trial that he was intoxicated or had been tearing posters from the theater. He said autograph-seekers tore the posters off for him to sign. Mrs. Barnett, who was acquitted, became hysterical when her husband was found guilty.

Barnett's attorney asked for a new trial. Dark-eyed Estelle Taylor here was having new calling cards printed with the name of her former husband, Jack Dempsey, left off.
