' Edward S. Babcock 4. DUKE DARES DEATH AND WINS FOR SELF ITALY HERO'S ROLE Sergeant Threatens to Cut Off Commander's Head as He Leads Charge By EDWARD J. (Associated Press Foreign Staff) Selaclaca, Takazze Region, Ethiopia, March 6—(By Airmail and Boat to ‘New York, March 30)—(?)—In a deep gorge, cutting through the middle of the lush Selaclaca plain, the Duke of Bergamo came close to death—at the hands of one ef his own loyal sol-} diers—but won himself a hero's place | in this war. Here in this sunken valley, the remnants of Ras Imru’s army made their last stand before the Italians! who shattered the buik of Imru’'s 25,- | 000 in two days of stpady hand-to- | hand fighting carly in March at the| northern end of the plain. | Here the Duke of Bergamo, com-; mander of the Gran Sasso division of | regulars, led his men into a hail of| machine gun fire, led them until a Sergeant forced him back on pain ot | death, i Ravine Full of Natives i The Ethiopians had planted ma-| chine guns at the far side of the val-| ley top, commanding the other side. | The ravine was full of desperate na- tives. Their fire was deadly. The range was too long for hand grenade | To go that close meant certain death. Up to them the Gran Sasso ad- vanced, then stopped, and up from} the rear charged the duke. cousin of King Victor Emmanuel. H A revoiver in one hand, a hand| grenade in the other, he took com-j; mand of the first company he en- countered in the plain facing the; gorge, and roared out the battle cry; of his ancient house “Savoia!” | Through Italian history that cry has rung, symbolic now of “charge with cold steel.” Duke Leads Charge They swept forward into the Ethio- pian fire, the duke ahead of them. They tried to stop him. He wouldn't stop. Then the sergeant found a way.| Waving a great sword he had pick- ed up from a fallen Ethiopian, he raced ia front the duke. “Go back, go back, your highness,” he screamed. “You can't do this. Go back, go back, your highness, or T'll cut your head off.” His highness stopped. The Italians tavern can stop feeling their pu!

But some of the ‘body's internal changes are known, enough to in- dicate*that second wind is probably the work of metabolism, a call on the salt reserves, a speeding up of the circulation of the white substance called lymph. Medical’ experiments suggest, too, that second wind is probably often due to making the mistake of under- taking too much; that for perfection of athletic performance it is not a sign of the very best expenditure of effort. Percy M. Dawson, M.D., formerly associated professor at Johns Hopkins and at the University of Wisconsin, in summarizing his scientific studies, points out that oxygen consumed de- creases markedly when second wind arrives. In some experiments, in the labored breathing before. the second wind, oxygen consumption has measured 10.7 times that of rest. With secord wind this oxygen use dropped to 8.5 times rest. Others have measured the carbon dioxide exhaled, and found it also drops with the coming of scc- ond wind. This oxygen and carbon dioxide use is called ventilation.

O, Sathre said Monday. In addition to Sathre, Gov. Walter Welford and Arthur E. Thompson, state superintendent of public in- struction, will conduct the meeting.

Editor, Tribune: We have a man here in Bismarck who seems to be gifted with rather ® marvelous power from on high to “see things” in the night time. Just recently he had a vision and tells of a strange midnight race be- tween Governor Welford and Bill Langer, each on a good horse. The race was plenty long—four miles around a section—and the prize was a large pile of eggs at the end of the run. Well, it seems that Langer had: the best horse, or else he used the whip more freély, for he finished first. But as he sprang from his horse to grab the prize lo, out from each sprang ® good, lively chick and st running back to Welford. Interpret this as you please, but to me it looks like a sure thing for Welford. T. B. Bismarck, N. D. March 28, 1936.

H OHIO BEGINS RECEDING Cincinnati, March 30.—(#)—The Ohio river receded to below flood tstage from Pittsburgh to dam 24 at ,Pomeroy, O., Monday permitting a quickening of the task/ of rehabilitat- ing the damage wrought in the upper Bismarck, N. D. determine feasibility of consolidation of certain schools. The proposal is to be submitted to voters at the primary election, to give citizens an oppor- tunity to express their wishes on prop- ositions to be determined by the com- mittee. “As it stands now we feel we will not recommend any closing or con- solidation of any schools, although no definita conclusions have been reached,” Sathre said. “A preliminary conference with heads of schools at Mayville, Valley City, Minot, Dickinson, Wahpeton and Ellendale resulted in expressions that any closing or consolidation of institutions would ‘mean depriving communities of educational facilities to which they are entitled.’” Final determination whether rec- ommendations will be made for cer- tain consolidation probably will be reached some time next month, after the committee has completed its in- vestigation, Sathre explained. Under way at the present time is a plan, broached by the state board of administration, for elimination of the four-year normal school training courses at Ellendale State Normal and Industrial school, and replacing it with @ two-year course. The board is considering broadening the industrial activities of the school to include a number of trades. It is possible El- ‘lendale and the State School of Science at Wahpeton may be placed under one administrative head, ac- cording to the board’s present sug- gestion.

Lefor, state bank examiner, termed the shrinkage due to voluntary liquidation and federalization. Total footings for the associations Dec. 1, 1934, were $9,964,420, while at the end of 1935 they equaled $8,216,- 622, “It will be noted,” Lefor stated in his report, “that during the past year two associations having combined footings of $1,367,811 have federalized and: one tion with totals of $34,875 was voluntarily liquidated. ‘The combined totals of the three as- sociations which have been eliminated is $1,402,687, which leaves a net shrinkage of only $345,110.” “A considerable portion of the re- duction can be attributed to refinanc- ing and revamping of loans, and does MORE RAIL TRAFFIC Great Northern Anticipating at Least 20 Per Cent Increase Over Year Ago St. Paul, March 30.—/7)—Rail traf- fic greater than last year when freight tonnage showed a more than 20 per cent increase, the Great North- ern railway said Monday in its an- nual report, is anticipated for 1936. Continued improvement in iron ore tonnage and lumber shipments, as well as speeding up of the railroad’s less-than-carload traffic combined with the new pick-up delivery serv- ice, is expected to swell traffic next year, says W. P. Kenney, president of the road. Another favorable indication cited by Kenney is the revived confidence in land and farms with an increase during 1930-35 of 55,292 farms in the principal states served by the Great Northern, : Total income to the road last year, including income from subsidiaries and other sources totaled $27,300,163, the report stated, compared to $18,- 939,827 in 1934, With interest, miscellaneous appro- priations and other reductions » {amounting to $20,190,296, net income totaled $7,109,867—exclusive of net losses in 1935 of $2,283,398 of subsid- jaries, in which the Great Northerfi holds directly or indirectly a major- ity of the outstariding capital stock.

He pointed out interest rates “have been reduced by most associations to @ point that will compare favorable with rates charged by other loaning agencies,” “The reduction,” he said, “has @ tendency to attract safer and more desirable loans and should promote a! sounder and less hazardous investment ! structure,” he said. : He found a “consistent and com- mendable improvement in the general condition of the associations.” Four Negroes Jailed For Woman’s Murder Birmingham, Ala., March 30.—(?)— Four Negro suspects in the attack and slaying of Miss Vivian Woodward of ‘Huntsville, Ala., were placed in the county jail here at 5:35 a. m. Monday, after they were brought from Hunts- ville by automobile under escort of national guardsmen. Twenty-four guardsmen and three state highway patrolmen accompanied the Negroes. Men armed with rifles and clubs followed the officers’ blood- hounds and anticipated the authori- ties in taking the Negroes at their house.
