Attendance of all members is urged by President William Orr, who announced the NO All) FOR THE WOrXDF.Il THE Italian general staff report 2.000 Ethiopians slain In an engagement with flight of 20 Fascial war plane. Whether it was 2.000 or 200 who were slain, it is quite likely that other hundreds or thousands aUo were wounded. Here's a paragraph from a recent aispateh from Addis Abab.i which can speak volumes for those who will let their imaginations dwell for a moment on the battle scene: physicians said untold numbers of Ethiopian wounded must be prepared to die where they fall because of the almost entire lack of any medical service. Other disabled may be eaten alive by hyenas and jackals at night, since there will be no means of moving them." XO hospitalization for Ethiopia's "boys." Mangled men with no hope, and whom only death can succor. A MATTER OF VIF.WTOIXT RECENTLY, Americ a newspapers carried accounts, many of them on page one, of the horrible death met by several Ethiopian women who ventured out of Addis Ababa in the early morning to carry provisions to their husbands who were to leave shortly for the front from an encampment near the city.

TO Americans, it wis a story of unusual death, and as such merited attention; for the women were attacked by one of the roving bands of hyenas which afflicted cen'ral Ethiopia and torn to pieces. AMERICANS shuddered as they read about it. Such tragedies are rare in Ethiopia. But, they have practically no death toll claimed by automobiles. Americans shuddered at that far-off horror, and turn with indifferent interest to headlines which tell them over S5.000 persons h3ve been killed on American streets and highways in one year by automobiles.

MANY of those automobile accident victims died deaths as horrible as those women who were killed by wild animals. Thousands upon thousands died in agony, and ether thousands live on in agony. But it's the usual thing. ETH I I A took prompt measures when its women were killed. Emperor Haile Selassie ordered out a regiment of soldiers with orders to scour the hills and kill all the hyenas.

ONLY recently has America shown any indication of waking up and doing anything to prevent automobile accidents. Perhaps it's all in the point of view, but death is death here or in Ethiopia whether meted out by hyenas or motor cars it's still Death! A people who developed motor cars can control them, if they will. 'YANKEE' HVRRICAXES "YANKEE Hurricane Hits Miami." That's the banner line on a Miami newspaper following the recent storm that spread death and destruction auain on the east coait of Florida. IT seems they call it a "Yankee" hurricane because it came from the north, and that also entitled it to be dubbed a freak, for hurricanes never, or rarely ever, come from the norta, Floridans say. MAJOR John F.

Nolte, Blair county native who now resides in Miami, describes the storm as "a monster of gray-green coming up over the horizon suddenly." It came after the storm season usually ends, and hit with peculiar pounding blows. Major Nolte says, "like a steam hammer playing on iron. There came a lull, followed by a puff that blew Major Nolte's car 15 feet, and thereafter cirae sporadically with a vehemence that blew down trees, upset autos, tore roofs off buildings and caused damage in all parts of the city. Automobiles could not run against the terrific force of the roaring wind, said Major Nolte, and there was nothing motorists could do but stop and seek 0 heller from the howling gale. IT'S HOW YOU TAKE IT! AND here's some news that may be good or bad.

depending, cf course, upon how you may take it. and whether you are a teetotaler or not. Says Dr. Charles F. Pabst, of New York, rum noses and gin blossoms have been robbed of their stigma.

Even teetotalers sometimes have them, says Dr. Pabst. Thus, a flaming probis-cus doesn't necessarily mean a heavy drinker. It may come from an improper diet. It now becomes quite unfair to lefer scathingly to the bearer of a red, bulbous or otherwise noteworthy "horn." It may have come from too many "snootfuls." or it may be due to eating onion sandwiches at night.
