Par diplo matic gall, the proposed peace terms have never been equalled. They pro vided that Italy be ceded territory, and the Ethiopians could remain in the portion of their native land that Italy did not want. The Ethio pians were told to get off the earth, but remain on it. If they could. The prli proposal requested that Halle Belssale. emperor of Ethiopia, give up his throne, without auggestlng that II Duce Mussolini yield his dic tatorship. and cease malting fiery .peaches to his eicltabte country men. Italy started the war. but was unable to finish it. The peace terms were concocted on the theory "the future of Italy ! at stake."

Kohl, the ancient cosmetic, has been made of finely powdered anti mony aa well aa the smoke black of burnt almond fibrils or frankincense. Why We Favor Ethiopia? AN intelligent and well informed citizen of Medford has changed his attitude toward the Italio-Ethiopian war. ' He started out as pro-Ethiopian. 'He is now pro-Italian. The reason! England. "Perfidious Albion.". He. has become dis gusted with what he calls the hypocrisy of (ireat Britain, and her obvious attempt at the present time, to use the League of Nations, for her own selfish purposes, thus preventing Italy from doing in Africa what she herself has doue, not only in Africa, but in India and in other parts of the world, for over 100 years. . ' ' ALL of which, of course. is true enough. These professions of righteousness and virtue not only from Downing Street but the Q'uai D'Orsay are entirely dishpuest and insincere mere smoke screens to cover up the obvious purposes of both great powers, to safeguard their own possessions in Africa, and keep Italy from doing what they both HAVE done. It is not love of peace but lore of self (self interest) that is the motivating force; behind all this League, of Nations activ ity during the past several weeks, as far. as these two major powers are concerned. OUT after all that is nothing new. As far as international relationships are concerned, self interest has been the domi nant force for at least two thousand years, and promises to continue for two thousand years more. THE ONLY HOl'E IS THE IDEA OF WHAT REALLY CONSTITUTES SELF INTEREST MAY CHANGE. Many believed that as a result of the world war this idea HAD changed. There was the League of Nations, for example. There was the Kellogg pact. There was the 9-power treaty. All three were based upon the assumption that war had ceased to be to the self-interest of any natiou, injurious alike to victor or vanquished. War had always been morally wrong, under modem conditions it had also come to be, economically indefensible, a losing proposition, if not actually suicidal, for all participating in it.' That was the idea. So hy common consent of the, so-called civilized powers war was outlawed, as a method of settling international difficulties, and So (we thought) a new era' been reached; an entirely new True England and France resources and wealth, by military conquest so for that matter, had the United States. Roughly speaking the era starting at 1S00 had been an era of advancing imperialism. But the world war, theoretically at least ended all that.. Not only theoretically but in fact, for every important nation in the world signed at least one treaty, some of tjiem two or three, pledging them selves to peace, and against war, PARTICULARLY any war of conquest. . . HPHEN ' suddenly "Japan, ' one of . the peaceful signatories, plunged into a war of conquest in China, and Italy followed suit by doing the same thing in Ethiopia. Tt is significant that neither formally declared war, that might have placed them in the same category with iniquitous Germany who regarded its treaty with-Belgium, as merely a scrap of paper.' No they did nothing as wicked as declare war, tbey justr proceeded to wage it, they waged it against far weaker powers and for one sole purpose CONQUEST. WHEREUPON we come to frienil vrhn ham swiiohet is making a mistake. The hypocrisy and cynicism prevailing in London and Paris are admitted; also the fact that Japan and Italy are doinj; in the 20TII century only what Great Britain and France and the United States, did in the 10TH. But (and here we come to the crui of the whole matter) times have changed siuce,18:?.V .This is a New World, and it should be a better one. Yc sec little chance of its being a better one however if the militarism and imperialism of the Inst ceutury is going to continue unchecked through the present one. VTe see no chance of its being a better oue. if the written pledges of nations their solemn, word .to do this, that or the other thing, are to be regarded for another hundred years, as merely scraps of paper! But as we see it, that is what support of Mussolini against Ethiopia and support of Japau against China means, and such support can mean nothing else. JAPAN because she is strong, fearless and far away, to the shame of England and the Ieagne of Nations. got away with it. Now if Mussolini and his Fascist hordes also get away with it, then GOOD night 1 The world will be turned back another hundred years, and we will be just where we started from, bn.'k to the tooth and claw of the jungle again. with no law but the will to power, and no right but MIGHT. That may be the result anyway. Things in Europe and the Far East look black euough, we admit. But we think people who WANT a better world, who believe if modern civilization fails to find a way to eliminate war, civilization as we have known it will end. Miotild at least do what THEY CAN to help England, and Untie ScWsie in the present conflict, and do what they can to force Mussolini to sue for peace.

Williams studied and weighed when the fat folk were thru with them had attained the age of 70 yoars. rho average length of life ot thes 136 overweight adults was 52.1 years, and the oldest one of them was only 76. So cut your cake accordingly, my hearties. The 136 fattlsh ones who didn't live long were on the average 45 per cent overweight. Some of them were only 13 to 18 per cent too heavy, one of them waa 170 per cent too heavy. Their hearts were all more or less fat amotnered. That Is, excessive de posit of fat under tne smooth, cover ing membrane of the heart and small er masses of fat between the mtucle bundle and between the muscle fi bers of the heart wall. That, of course, handicaps the heart of the overweight Individual; explains the breath lpssness on slight exertion. In part explains the tendenry to shorten life. Once In a great while we hear'of some one who has lived to be seventy five or eighty years old in spite of overweight. But these exceptional cases do not seem to Impress the hard-headed Insurance people. They still frown on even moderate over weight In an adult over thirty years of age. They know the moderately stout adult of mature age Is not so good a life risk as the adult of nor mal weight. Women are rather too conscious of overweight, meaning moderate nccum- 1 illation of flesh above the stantiard for age and height. But they are con- j cerned mainly with figure and fash- j Ion, and little or not at all with , health. j Men are not sufficiently conscious j of overweight. They try to conceal from the world and themselves the Insidious accumulation of slacker flesh aftr thirty, by the cut of their clothes. Not until the condition de fies disguise in that way does the average mature adult male become conscious of his sorry state. This Is another argument In favor of nudism. For health, comfort, efficiency and longevity, every mnn should watch his weight after thirty and If ho finds k gradual Increase creeping upon him after this age he should institute whatever change of his Uvlng regimen or habits may be necessary to correct the trouble.
