BRISBANE THIS WEEK Mussolini Goes Through | Practical Selassie . Snake Killed One A Which End of the Gun? Mussolini's men entered Addis Ababa, | driving out the Ethioplan looters, bring- ing safety to vari- ous foreigners, in- | cluding our own minister. Rome went wild with joy; and no wonder. In seven months Mussolini has con- quered Ethiopia's millions, killing and wounding 250,000 of them, marching steadily ahead through dangerous valleys and high mountains, driving Arthur Brisbane ,;: the Ethiopian armies, that were directed by skilled soldiers from Turkey, Scandinavia and elsewhere, Those impressed by the high quall- tiles of Ethiopia's Arab slave-trading ruler will note that in the great erisis his presence of mind remained. The Associated Press says he took with him on the British boat “the Imperial family jewels, many cases of gold bul- lion and gold coins.” On his way from Addis Ababa to the British ship he stopped to take all the cash from the treasury and customs house at Diredawa, In Florida, a well-meaning preacher, who thought it his duty to let rattle snakes bite him to show the power of God, actually did let the snakes bite him without first removing their fangs. He is dead, the jury sald, “by the bite of a rattlesnake through his own care- lessness.” The poor fanatic succeeded only In proving the power of rattlesnake pol- son.

Nevertheless, it Is difficult to believe that King Edward wlll remain a bache- lor, whether he marries this charming young princess or some other, possi- bly a good healthy young Scotch girl, if one available could be found, Dr. Walter Emerson Priggs, who teaches dentistry in Tufts college, says “women can take any kind of pain without a whimper.” Women endure palin more courage- ously than men.

It must be of | great interest to provide a child to fill a throne and rule the world's greatest empire—whether or not it lasts, Two misguided Mexicans decided to ring bells of the ancient mission church at Juarez, Mexico, to celebrate the nomination of a National Revolutionary candidate for governor of Chihuahua, The plous ladies of Juarez thought those old bells should not be rung for any revolutionary candidate, and it became necessary for troops to rescue the beliringers from the Infuriated women, giving a good Imitation of Euripides man-hunting Bacchae, When women start they mean it Features alos. ay about: Chronic Influenza, ALM SPRINGS.

And a week or so before that it happened when a young girl dragged the only other survivors of an airplane crash out of the flaming wreckage and ministered to them and forgot her own hurts while she waded long miles down a snow-drifted mountain to give the alarm, and, having given It, stageered back again to do what else she might. » * ». loss, happened Bankers Versus Politics. poLrics certainly makes estranged bedfellows.
