T h ro u g h o u t N ation
RMISTICE day was celebrated In
the United States more generally
and elaborately than It had been since
the first of those occasions seventeen
years ago. Chief of
all the ceremonies,
naturally, was that
at Arlington National
cemetery In Washing­
ton, where many thou­
sands gathered to
hear an address by
’resident Roosevelt.
Standing before the
tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, the Chief Ex­
ecutive paid a brief
President
but eloquent tribute
Roosai-clt
to the gallantry of
America's fighting men in the World
war, especially those who gave their
lives in that conflict. Then, as the
bugles sounded taps at 11 o’clock, he
bared his head and stood silent for a
minute, as did millions of his fellow
citizens all over the land. The Presi­
dent next placed a wreath on the
Unknown Soldier’s tomb.
For six
hours, afterward, uniformed organiza­
tions marched up the hill In Arlington
and laid their wreaths at the tomb.
The celebration in the national cap­
ital was culminated by a ball ar­
ranged by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Congressional Medal of Honor
men headed the list of guests, others
being cabinet officers, diplomats and
high officials of the army, navy and
marine corps. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
was one of the guests.

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT will be
fifty-four years old on January 30
next, and once more the day will be
marked in many cities and towns by
balls, the receipts from which will be
devoted to the war on Infant paralysis.
Mr. Roosevelt announced his approval
of the plan, which Is fathered by
Henry L. Doherty.
Doherty wrote to the President urg­
ing him to lend his name to a third
series of birthday balls. He pointed
out that the proceeds of the first ball
enabled the Warm Springs Foundation
In Georgia to carry on its program
and the second financed and organized
a major attack on the disease by re­
search and provided funds for com­
munities in which the balls were held.

XTOT of vast Importance, but inter-
i e s t i n g enough to command the
presence of Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and 100,000 other persons, was
the twelfth annual national corn husk­
ing contest held on a farm at the
village of Newtown, Ind.
The winner was Elmer Carlsen,
twenty-six years old, of Audubon coun­
ty, who was competing against 17
opponents, the winners and runner-
ups of nine midwestern states’ con­
tests. Carlsen shucked 41.52 bushels
of the golden corn In 80 minutes, which
means that he ripped the ears from
the stalks, tore the flimsy husks from
them and pitched a gross weight of
2,995 pounds Into his wagen. He lost
88.43 pounds deducted fcr gleanings
left in the field and husks left on the
corn.
Carlsen set a new world’s record,
the old one being 30.9 bushels, which
mark was beaten also by four others
of the contestants. The first prize was
a check for $100 given by the Prairie
Farmer. Mr. Wallace said the contest
was “the best I’ve ever seen.”
Ita lia n King C elebrates
H is 66th B irthday
ICTOR EMMANUEL, king of Italy,
celebrated his sixty-sixth birth­
day rather quietly because of the war
in which his people are engaged In
Africa. He reviewed
a parade of armed
forces, and with him
was the real ruler of
the country, B e n i t o
Mussolini. 11 D u c e
then appeared on the
balcony of his Venezia
palace to address a
great throng of cheer­
ing citizens In the
plaza. He spoke just
these two sentences:
King Victor
•The f o r c e s you

ian defeats at Aduwa and Makale,
Ethiopia, in 1S96) and the remainder .
will be settled later."
Mussolini that same evening sent to
the nations participating in the sanc­
tions against Italy a formal protest
against their nctlon, and warned them
that Italy would be forced Into re­
prisals with serious consequences to
the economic world.
Meanwhile the Italian armies In
Ethiopia were advancing steadily to­
ward the Interior from both the north
and south. The strategic towns of
Makale and Gorrabel were occupied
practically without resistance, llarrar
and Jijlga in the south and Dessye
in the north were apparently the next
major objectives.
Haile Selassie lost one of his ablest
commanders in the death of General
Afework, who was struck by an Italian
bomb splinter during a bombardment
of Gorrahel. He was educated In Eu­
rope and was skilled In military
science.
