Path of Empire Mussolini’s path of empire in Ethiopia is strewn with thorns rather than roses, according to reliable advices from Ad- dis Ababa, and the result may be to make the Italian dictator even harder to get along with than usually is the case. After the recent attempt on the life of Viceroy Rodolfo Graziani there where wholesale reprisals in which Ethiopians were lined up and shot without much regard to whether or not they had anything to do with the plot. That left the conquered people in a bad mood and since then they have refused to have much to do with the invaders. ‘That is one reason food now is being rationed in Addis Ababa and the reason why the garrison has been reduced by several thousand men.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 18—It’s one thing to have a sit-down strike a thousand miles away from here and, as many Washingtonians found out, quite another to have one in this non- industrial capital city. Especially one which ties up food and drink in that nationally famous hostelry, the New Willard, When the strike involves John L. Lewis and other celebrated labor leaders, and is settled by Assistant Labor Secretary Edward F. McGrady, maestro of mediators, and it all hap- pens right in the heart of this strange city—well sir, you have something such as a Washington correspondent is seldom privileged to observe. The first surprise is when you go to the hotel to check up on labor's Non-Partisan League's convention and find a dozen waiters, cooks and waitresses picketing with standards which proclaim “The Willard Hotel, Residence of Presidents, Is on Strike.” Then you find the other waiters and waitresses sitting down in the dining Toom, coffee shop and cocktail lounges, and a few remaining guests prepar- ing to leave, Down in the kitchen, 20 cooks ‘and helpers have put the food away and stopped production at the source. Union men prepare to bring them sandwiches, A hundred employes are sitting down. kee Her Mama There, Too Ask how come and you hear accu- that time, it is feared, the Ethiopians may decide to do a little| *ccompanied by butchering on their own account. management refuses to make a state: It is a very interesting situation. One which gives the United States cause to rejoice that it has no part in it. And it does prove that even with modern machinery the way of the conqueror is a difficult one. : The situation gives new emphasis to a thought voiced by many observers, that even in winning Mussolini may: have lost. » What of the Airplane The world is preparing for war again and navy yards in every nation are busy with work on new battleships. With trouble looming in the foreground the men charged with de- Zense and attack are again putting their faith—and their money —into the bulldogs of the sea. All of this is in sharp contrast with the emphasis which only a few years ago was being placed on military aviation.| “ Indeed, in some quarters this still is the case. It is.interesting to note why the battleship still dominates. The first and most important reason, apparently, is that a battleship still is the most effective weapon for controlling the surface of the sea. Airplanes may strike hard, on occasion, but the big gray vessels have been equipped with weapons for fighting them off. Not only does the modern battleship carry planes of its own, it has armament to resist aerial bombs and anti-aircraft batteries for fighting off attacks by planes. Unless the military strategists are wrong, airplanes will ment, Guests are checking out, es: pecially labor leaders there { strike is a hostile frameup by A.

All the more reason why the United States should be careful to avoid future conflict. : 5.61 Gallons of Wate: ; _ ~ Advocates of pasture furrowing for great plains land re- cently have been calculating the effects of this type of soil management. In so doing they have discovered that shallow furrows, cut by an ordinary plow at right angles to the slope of the land is a very effective water conserving measure. Such furrows, closer together, are better practice than deeper fur- rows farther apart because there is less danger of turning in- | ° fertile subsoil to the surface and there is no difficulty in pass- fing oyer the ground with machinery, The most significant finding, however, is that a furrow so made, six inches deep and 18 inches wide, will hold 5.61 gal- Jons of water per linear foot, keeping it in place until it sinks into the soil: In seasons when no rain falls at all this system will do lit- fle good but in normal years it should greatly increase the pro- duction of grasses, ; This system, incidentally, gives more promise of restoring subsoil moisture and raising water tables than does the im- ‘ pounding of water in large bodies, since experiments show that Jakes play little part in determining sub-surface levels. Plowing rings around a pasture may seem a bit ridiculous fo the old-timers but not half so rdiitulous as the dust storms and the drouth which have been all too evident in recent years. The Will to Die Travelers in primitive lands long ago noted the fact that sboriginal peoples have the power to will their own death. There gre numerous authentic cases in which our own Indians have announced their impending demise, then laid down and given the ghost on schedule. Natives of the South Sea islands re the same faculty. They can die as they will without ap- parent reason. : _ + Civilization has taken that ability from most of us. No matter how distressed few moderns can perform this feat, Few ‘would care to try. : | Mrs. Helen Wills Love, convicted California murderess, ‘Sppears to be a throwback in this respect. According to com- it medical men she has willed herself into a coma and there & possibility that, if it persists, she may die. It is one of the strangest phenomena of the modern scene, but only because man ‘has, in some respect, made radical departure from aboriginal simplicity. But science may still vanquish this mental relic of ancient times.
