MEDFORD,
The Italio-Ethiopian Mess
THERE is more to this Italio
the eye.
On the surface of course it looks simple. Mussolini has gone
crazy just as the Kaiser went crazy.
All the other nations in Europe want peace. Only Mussolini
wants war, and in spite of the effort to deter him, he is going
to have war.
Why? Because he needs more territory, and more raw ma
terials. Ethiopia has both, and now is the time to get them.
GREAT BRITAIN is the only country in the world taking any
active part in opposition to Italy. According to press
dispatches her Mediterranean fleet has been ordered to Egypt,
and the closing of the Suez canal is predicted. Presumably such
action would be regarded as a hostile act by Mussolini, and then
there might be an Italio-British war.
From such an outbreak to another European holocaust would
be but a step, France would aid England, Germany would
jump on France, Soviet Russia would see its chance to clean up
on the capitalistic world, and all western Europe wuld soon be
in flames, as was the case in August 1914. The end of civiliza
tion in Europe would be the inevitable outcome.
ALL simple enough, but probably MUCH too simple.
For only a superficial inquiry discloses the fact that Italy's
determination to conquer Ethiopia is nothing new. Not only
have France and England known about it for two or three years,
but there is every reason to believe, they secretly, gave permis
sion to Mussolini to go ahead.
This permission was undoubtedly given in return for Italy's
refusal to join hands with Germany, when the Austro-Germany
crisis arose.
Why then should England at this late date change its tunet
The boys on the inside at Downing street know, but they won't
tell. That something important has happened however is cer
tain. The answer lies somewhere in the maze of secret diplom
acy, with its wheels within wheels.
Perhaps the explanation has to do with the fact that England
is no longer certain Italy will win. And if Mussolini should
meet the fate in Ethiopia that Spain met against the Riffs, Great
Britain might be faced by a
African and eastern possessions,
superiority, seriously shattered,

THAT doesn't sound particularly convincing.

used to wear clothes woven in England, but of recent years have
been wearing the cheaper clothes woven in Japan. England
would like these markets herself, and needless to say Nippon
does not intend to lose them. Perhaps there have been warnings
from Tokio, which have persuaded Downing street that the
risks in African adventure, are greater than any possible bene
fits, as far as England is concerned.
This however doesn't sound
WHATEVER the true explanation this much can be accepted
ns nrrtnin. Rnmnthinr. lma linnnonn within tlio noaf oiv
months to change England's attitude toward the Italian adven
ture, which undoubtedly she once sanctioned. John Bull is
sincerely anxious to prevent the
ever her reasons, she should be
her ends.
But whero is such assistance to come from! The United
States will not raise a hand. France has her own interests in
Africa to consider. Germany could be invaluable at the present
time, but under Hitler, Germany is in a mood to help no one,
least of all "perfidious Albion."
In short it is a grand and glorious mess all around, outside
and in. And if one wishes to know why, two outstanding facts
should bo illuminating:
Tlio United States refused to join the League of Nations, and
Selfish nationalism and secret diplomacy, so largely respon
sible for the world war, are just as busy today leading the world
over the precipice to another one.
IIAD this country joined the League of Nations, that inter-
national tribunal for world peace, would today be an ef
fective, not nn impotent weapon.
Had selfish nationalism and secret diplomacy been aban
doned for enlightened international coopration and "open
covenants openly arrived at" anything as criminal and silly
and antedeluvinn as this Italio-Ethiopian war would never have
been considered much less brought to the verge of execution.
The older the world grows the more certain it becomes that
former President Wilson, in his stand for the League of Nations
was absolutely right, his tragedy and the world's tragedy, is
the fact he was right BEFORE his time!

JIST AN ORDINARY
Child seven years of age succumbed
to diphtheria In hospital, scarcely
24 hours after having been brought
there by the par
ent. On enter
ing hospital the
child waa cya
notlc (blue or
dusky ), lips
blanched, gasp
ing and fighting
for breath. In
the emergency a
tube had to be
placed In the
larynx- to give
the child some
air. The history
given by the
parents was
Pay particular attention to this,
you parents, teachers, and especially
children who read this story.
The parent said the child had
been all right until the night be
fore, when they noticed he could
not breathe properly. They had called
a doctor who prescribed for the
child and instructed the parents to
call hint If the child was not bet
ter in two hours. The doctor's medi
cine seemed to Induce slight vomit
ing, after which the child seemed
better, so the parents had not called
the doctor again until next morning.
When the doctor arrived he saw the
child was In a desperate state, and
rushed him to the hospital for in
tubation. Besides Inserting the tube In the
throat, the hospital physician gave
the child Immediately 80.000 units
of anti-toxin In the ordinary way
and 10.000 units in dextrose solu
tion directly into the vein.
Now on closer questioning the
child's father said the boy had been
suffering with Just an ordinary cold
for several days, but as he had not
seemed feverish and kept at play
and at school, the parents had paid
little attention to It. Oh, yes, the
child's voice had become hoarse too,
but still the parents thought It was
Just an ordinary cold, and indeed
they had not thought of having
medical Advice until they noticed
the difficulty In breathing. 1
I should like to repeat a few
things I have said many times be-!
fore, and leave you to draw your own
moral. !
1. There Is no such condition as
i "common cold." "ordinary cold,"
'slight cold," "bad cold" or Just a
'cold."
2. An honest name for It, when
you don't know what la developing, j

ably can't tell In the early hours
precisely what Is developing. Call It

with yourself and with others.
pokey tee cream man. So many flos
sier rivals have sprung up w.th their
colored custards, double-Ueck cones
and faintly hued Ices on sticks. Thus
the hokey-pokey man has vanished In
most crowded sections. But In The
Village I saw one whose perambulator
was adorned with this: "Jake, the
Hokey Pokey Man Since 1900." Jake
could have gone on aa David Warflcld

otherwise, they Jockeyed mo into one

a poker group desiring a smack. The
lure of the Welsh rabbit was lrresis

their steins and seldels but, being
still non-alcoholic, my liquid refresh
ment for such a dish was a puzzler.

COLD PROVES FATAL.
4. No one. whether school child,
teacher, worker or executive, has a
moral right to associate Intimately
with other persons when he has crl
or an alleged "simple cold."
5. To ignore the crl in the hope
that It will not prove serious Is per
haps a fair gamble for an adult
whose life Is not worth much, but
It Is unjustifiable where the life
of a child Is concerned.
6. The history of this tragic case
reflects upon the ability of the doc
tor who first saw the child. Evi
dently he acquiesced in the treach
erous notion that it was "Just an
ordinary cold." Unfortunately some
doctors still believe there Is such an
entity as a "cold," tho no doctor
can define It or give an Intelligent
view of Its nature or cause.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Luncheon for Two.
I drink two cups of linseed tea
fmade by steeping one hour pint ot
water with two tablcspoonfuls Un
seed meal, 1 lemon. 4 teaspoonluls
sugar) and eat two Swiss cheese
sandwiches every afternoon at 4:30.
Is it Injurious? (a. w. B.) (aged
78).
Answer It Is not injurious, but
sounds enough for two. May I drop
In and help you dispose of It some
afternoon? I could manage the sand
wiches while you drink the flaxseed
.tea, or if you prefer you may take
the tea while I deal with the sand
wiches. Lead Poisoning.
My doctor wonders whether my
troutal may be due to chronic lead
poisoning from my work . . . you
told of a test by painting something
on the skin . . . R. M. M.
Answer Paint a carefully cleansed
area of the. skin with a solution ol
one-eighth ounce of pure crystals ot
lead sulphide ( which are colorless,
transparent) In one-half ounce ot
distilled water If excess of lead is
being eliminated the painted area
turns black in a few hours. While
the test is being made you must
avoid exposure to lead fumes or dust.
Dwindling.
I have taken up the "Design for
Dwindling" and have been reducing
2 or 3 pounds a week without dif
ficulty. I have a craving for lemons.
Is one or two a day too much for
the good of one's health? How many
calories should an active woman con
sume per day? S. B. G.
Answer Copy of "Design for
Dwindling" sent for ten cents coin
and stamped addressed envelope.
Lemons are all right. Active woman
needs perhaps 3000 to 3800 calories
daily. On well balanced reduction
regimen she may consume 1000 to
1600 daily.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
"lONORESS, about to adjourn,
makes big news. It Is big news
because congress has given us about
all the new experiments we can hope
to digest soon, and most of us are
glad to know there will be no more
for at least a little while.
Now If all the rest of the experi
menters would adjourn and give us a
chance to catch our breath, It would
be grand.
EMPEROR HAILE SALASSIE orders
Immediate civilian evacuation of
Addis Ababa In the event of an Ital
ian air attack.
"Three cannon shots wtll be fired
from the palace, factories will sound
sirens and churches will ring their
bells ceaselessly If the attack should
come' his proclamation reads, "When
you hear the warnings, abandon your
homes and flee. Alrpllanes seek out
crowds massed on constructions. Run
to the woods, spread out and hide.
Remain CALM." ,
ALL of his advice can be followed
except the part about remaining
calm. Under such circumstances, re
maining calm would be about as easy
as flying without wings.
WAR has changed since the old
days when soldiers fought sol
diers and It was regarded as Just
plain murder to kill non-combatants.
WE READ In another dispatch from
Addis Ababa:
"The emperor's order stirred the
capital's 120.000 residents. Americans
and other foreigners remained calm,
some believing that the League of
Nations might yet save the situation."
Believing that the League of Na
tions oan stop the threatened war in
Ethiopia is about the height of opti
mism. THIS dispatch Is from Istanbul;
"Turkey, anxiously watching the
Italo Ethiopian situation, determin
ed to keep In close touch with the
Balkan pact signatories, and to
AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS."
Well, Turkey has nothing on the
rest of us there. Awaiting develop
ments is what we're all doing.
ONE more dispatch before closing:
"Denver's firebug suspect, believ
ed responsible for 15 fires In three
days, escaped a fusillade of shots to
day, set fire to Denver's new six mil
lion dollar city hall, escaped half of
Denver's police force as they sur
rounded the. building and then set
flames In an office building several
blocks away.
He's crazy, you say? To be sure.
But no crazier than the diplomats
and the dictators who are setting war
fires around Europe's powder keg.
The difference Is that this poor
nut in Denver will be put In Jail If
he's caught, whereas the diplomats
and dictators won't.
