Mussolini Goe* Through

Snake Killed One
\\ hich End of the Gun?
Mi ssollni's men entered Addis
Ababa, driving out the Ethiopian
Arthur flriahnnr
looters, bring
ing safety to va
rious foreigners,
Including our
own minister.
Rome went
wild with Joy;
and no wonder.
In seven months
Mussolini has
conquered Ethlo
p l a ’ s millions,
killing and
wounding 250,
000 of them,
marching stead
llyahead through
dangerous val
leys and high mountains, driving
out the Ethiopian armies, that
were directed by skilled soldiers
from Turkey, Scnndinuvla and else
where.
Those Impressed by the high
qualities of Ethiopia’s Arab slave
trading ruler will note thnt In the
great crisis his presence of mind
remained. The Associated Press
says he took with him on the Brit
ish boat "the Imperial family Jew
els, many cases of gold bullion
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
Dlrednwa.
In Florida, a well-meaning
preacher, who thought It his duty
to let rattlesnakes bite him to
show the power of God, actually
did let the snakes bite him with
out first removing their fangs. He
is dead, the Jury sold, “by the bite
of a rattlesnake through his own
carelessness."
The poor fanatic succeeded only
In proving the power of rattlesnake
poison. The laws of the universe
could hardly be suspended to Jus
tlfy the whim of one well-meaning
fanatic.
It makes a difference, even to
the No. 1 Public Enemy, “I'll
never-be-taken-allve” bandit, which
way the gun Is pointed. Mr. Kar
pls Is taken, much alive, with no
struggle, beyond holding a straw
hat over his face to baffle pho
tographers.
Much efficiency In cash rewards;
Dlllinger defied ull the "G-Men’’; a
reward was offered, and a red
haired lady delivered him to the
“G-men" bullets, and got $5,000.
Whether the $7,000 reward of
fered for Karpls tempted some
friend of that courageous one re
mains to'be seen. /
The criminal Is In business foi
money, and when he can sell a
friend for $5,000, that seems prefer
able to risking his own life. The
reward system should be extended;
$5,000 reward for evidence resulting
In arrest and conviction of any
murderer.
The Carnegie Institute announce*

Tlie uncle of the .voting lady says

Dr. Walter Emerson Briggs, who
teaches dentistry In Tufts college,
says "women can take any kind of
pain without a whimper.”
Women endure pain more coura

Isolation. Man shows his heroism
preferably in crowds. In squadrons,
platoons; often he would not do that
if It did not take more courage to
stay behind alone than to go ahead

Two misguided Mexicans decided
to ring bells of the ancient mission

of Juarez thought those old bells

More Gay Prints and Gay Flowers!
By CHER IE NICHOLAS
MORE, more, more! And still
fashion keeps calling for more
guy prints In the spring and sum
mer wardrobe, for more gay (lowers
on your hat, on your lapel, at your
throat and at your waistline, for
gloves that are going In strong for
high color, for footwear, too, that
Is most daringly gay. As flamboy
antly colorful a season Is this, ns
wildest (lights of Imagination e'er
might venture to picture.
When the salesperson shows you
the newer prints that fairly scream
with color, do not be timid, but
throw discretion to the winds and
Indulge to your heart’s content In
nil the Dubonnet reds and the gor
geous tulip shade., that are so fash
ionable und the lovely_ violet and
purple tones und the radiant mimo
sa hues und the glamorous blues
and the stunning greens plus dozens
of equally cnptlvuting hues such as
the color-card of fashion records.
Typical of the present trend Is the
costume to the right In the lllustra
tlon. A galaxy of (lowers In multi
color Is the theme of the lovely
triple sheer of bemberg print which
fashions It. The colorings ure as
riotous nnd entrancing In this triple
sheer us ever glorified a midsummer
garden scene. You cannot but look
your pretty-prettiest self In a (low
er print like this. Then, too, this
costume Is eminently practical. It
Is the sort that has a way of tittlng
Into the picture anywhere and ev
erywhere. With such a dress plus
Jacket ensemble In your wardrobe
you will never be haunted with the
ever-recurring question “what to
wear.” You will know.
The white pique bow and gllet
treatment sound a winsome note of
freshness. The short pleated sleeves
ure distinctively chic. The little
Jacket is double-breasted and belted
ut the buck. These brief perky
youthful-type Jackets, some of which
look like basques, others flaunting
animated peplum, are quite the
rage. You may, however. If you
wish, go to Just the extreme oppo
site und have the coat made of print
that tops your print dress, full
length buttoned down the front from
neck to hem. Long or short, be
sure your print dress has Its match
ing coat, Jacket, or cape.
If you ure looking for something
distinctively new and out of the or
dinary In prints, here It Is, pic
tured to the left. White shadow
flowers on a dark background such
us this Is the very lutest print
news. Fancy, If you will, white
shadow-outlined (lowers against a
rich Dubonnet red, or contrasting
a vivid green ground, or gray or
black or the color you like best.
No happier choice could be made
thun this cool frock mude of triple
sheer print of bemberg. It is durk
enough to be practical und It Is light
enough to look and to feel summery
and sheer. Marquisette sleeves cut
full and shirred ut the wrist with
appliques of the flower motif cut
from the print Itself and a very
feminine Jabot of the marquisette,
contribute to the charm of this gown.
We couldn’t resist Including the
cunning flower-trimmed hat in this
group. It tits so perfectly Into the
scheme of things colorful and en
tranclngly springlike. It is Just
such a headpiece us will crown any
flower-print dress with glory. The
shiny black of Its basket weave
straw Is contrasted by n spray of
gay posies — yellow bachelor’s but
tons and blue cornflowers. The bow
Is of silk talTeta In mutching corn
flower blue.

terned cotton, woven In navy and

NAVY BLUE POPULAR
COLOR FOR SPRING
» __
Blue—especially navy—Is the pre !
dominating color In the fashion pa
rade. it Is shown In formal and in
formal costumes from morning to
night — In suits, coats, frocks and
even pajamas. There's particular
emphasis on blue as an important
evening fashion. Blue is present in
numerous copies of Schiaparelli,
Vlonnet, Mainbocher, Lanvin, and
Molyneux, featuring peplums, yokes,
pleats, tunics, and petticoats and
squared shoulders. Great stress is
laid on jacket dresses, and also
bright and contrasting accessories.
Black costumes are next after the
navy blues In Importance.
New Frocks Are inspired
by Fashions From Orient
The stately robes of the Manehus
and the distinctive appurel of the
peasants have Inspired extremely
smart occidental frocks. Printed
jacket dresses copy the brilliant col
luring and designs of Chinese em
broideries and porcelains, and fea
ture graceful mandurlu sleeves. The
coolie Jacket becomes a tunic with
the typical standing collar and slit
sides, posed over a slim straight
skirt. Black paper taffeta makes
a delightful dinner dress with a
high neckline piped with Jade green,
short kimono sleeves and a Jude
green sash. It Is worn with bluck
kldskln sandals and a flat beret of
black felt faced with green.
The White Ensemble
One of the loveliest ensembles
seeu recently was white In every
detail—the gown, the ermine wrap,
long white gloves, two strands of
pearls, diamond bracelets, a dia
mond hair clip and three pure-white

Hornets’ Nest

T THE crossroads John Kay
-* stepped down from tlie bus
and, bag in hand, climbed the bars
Into the pasture. Swell of the ripe
strawberries, red cows wading in
the brook, the bent cedar tree at
the foot of the lane behind which
lay his camp—there was even the
hornets’ nest, hanging like a misty
little balloon from the cedar’s one
twisted, eastward arm.
It ail made a shameful, sick feel
ing come up In his throat. He was
a fool to have come. Then he
saw that there was somebody in
the hollowed-out seat In the gray
boulder across the brook—some
body with a ruddy head smooth as
luster wure In the sun.
Dropping Ids bag in the tall grass
he crossed the brook on stepping
stones. It was all the same, even
Jane—
By the time he had reached her
his speech was on the tip of his
tongue: "I didn’t dream of finding
you here, Jane. Just ran down for
the week-end." Instead he stood be
fore her, mouth foolishly open.
It was Jane who spoke, the same
upward quirk at the left corner of
her mouth: "Why, Kay, who’d
dream of It! You tearing yourself
from your office, and business hum
ming again. And I’m using your
camp." She spoke regretfully. “I
took your word for It, about my
being free to come here, but of
course—”
The same dragging slur to her
vowels, the same husky, madden
ingly dear catch In her low voice.
Kay dropped on the grass. “I’m
only here for un hour or so, to get
some books I want,” he continued
to invent, thanking Ills lucky stars
he hud left his bag out of sight.
“We’ll have tea before you go."
Kay winced at the charming hos
pitullty of her tone. Just so would
she speak to old Doctor Thorp.
“You're not going abroad?" lie man
aged a smooth casualness.
Click of knitting needles above
his head. “I decided not to. Things
came up."
“A man? Not that I’ve any busi
ness asking. If it’s that asinine
donkey, Wayne—’’ he caught his
breath in a hard thread.
"You haven’t, and it’s not.” Jane
slid from the rock with a cool
swish of smooth linen, draped the
red silk scarf she was knitting over
her shoulders and went rustling
through the tall grass. “But it is a
man, and I've come down here to
try to decide what to do about him."
The clock on the village church
tower struck four notes. An hour,
and he'd be on the way back to
town on that confoupded bus. On
the way across the stream to re
trieve Ids bag he tieard Jane scream.
The next moment he had turned
and was pursuing a slim, gray fig
ure, Hushing past the old celur tree.
In its wake was a gray, misting,
snarling cloud.
I’ast the Juniper thicket, past the
cedar tree where a red scarf hung
from the swinging hornets’ nest; at
last he hud her in his arms and
was making for the mud hole by
the brook. The lltt’e gray demons
swarmed for a moment about his
face, and then a merciful whiff of
wind swept them down the meadow.
lie put Jane down on the grass.
There were no stings on her face
or her hands, but her lips were
puckered. Like a child, too proud
to cry. “My feet!" she gasped.
John Kay snatched off the red
sandals. On the bare ankles were
angrily swelling lumps. One mo
ment he was scooping up handfuls
of brown sticky clay mud and plas
tering it over the slim feet. The
next he was peeling off his shirt,
rending it In silken strips and bind
ing the long rags over tlie mud plas
ters.
‘‘They’ve stopped hurting," she
said at last. “Maybe I can walk to
the camp.”
For answer John Ka.v lifted her
and went trampling through the
lane that led through a honeysuckle
hedge to the lodge. On the threshold
of the living room he hesitated. The
anger that had been seething In
him ever since he saw Jane on the
bowlder—their bowlder where he
tirst made love to her—boiled over.
There was the fireplace, laid for
lighting, the big wicker chairs, the
table—set for two.
Unceremoniously he dropped Jane
on the window box. “So you're hav
ing him here? That’s too much,
Jane." Jane had slumped, eyes
closed, lie felt for her pulse. It
heat like a husky little engine under
his hand.
“You're putting It on, Jane. What
in heaven’s name do you mean? If
I should miss that bus—’’
Five clear notes from the town
clock. A shrieking of brnkes down
the hill, a Hash of brown and red
from the state highway.
Jane was sitting up. “You have.
1 was put up to it, though, to make
you do It, you big pig-headed don
key." She began unrolling the mud
bandages.
He caught Jane in one arm and
with the other pulled the telephone
toward him. "You knew I was com
ing, and you came Hrst."
Jane’s voice was muffled against
his coat. “Do call Tompkins and
tell him to stop those divorce pa
pers," she said.
