The resulting harmonies usually were hits, too. The songs were titled after t,he| movies, and peoplé who had seen| the movies would remember, the} titles, and thus find it simpler to remember the tunes. those songs even had some con- nection with the theme of the picture. Today (just to show how far the screen has progressed) the movies are getting even. They are turning around and making pictures out of song titles. It is a thing that can go on and cn Bing Crosby in one of his films rang a number called “Love in Bloom.” They made a picture of that title, and in it Gracie Allen sang one called “Here Comes, Cockie.” Now Gracie and George Burns are making “Here Comes Cookie,” and who knows what song in this will supply the' title for another picture? It's better than a chn&n letter. The Game Goes On “Sweet Adeline” was a popular song long before Iréne Dunne made a moie of it, and “All of Me" Was a song in no way connected with the play “Chrysalis” which borrowed its title for the screen. After great uncertainty, W. C. Fields' latest picture also has found a musical title, “The Man on the Flying Trapeze.” As might be expected, it has nothing whatever to do with the story—which does not keep it from being a good title. But when a picture is titled after a song that is'in the pleture—as in “One Night Of Love,” “Love Me Forever,” “Let’s Fall In Love,” and $0 on—that seems to end the mu- sical titles potentialities. It almost seems a sinful waste. Lily’'s Only Pet Lily Pons of opera fame came to Hollyweod with no pet wilder than a Skye terrier. Her precious jaguar ~—which used to get almost as much space in stories about Lily Pons as Lily got—is now in a New York zoo. There, she ‘insists, the critter invariably recognizes her| when she visits. The parting be-! tween them, says Lily in her color- atura French accent, was due to no breach between mistress and -pet, | but to the pet's clawing of Lily’s maid, who somehow resented it. Miss Pons expresses enthusiasm for her first movie, in which she will sing several operatic arias, in- | cluding the Lakme “bell song,” as well as new melodies. Bing Crosby’s would seem to be the perfect movie philosophy. He never worries about his acting— because he doesn't pretend to be an actor. And his singing doesn't both- er him, because he doesn’t preten:ij to be a great singér..

Ethiopia’s New Year’s day falls| on September 11. | “The Abyssinian army,” writes a British historian, is “in effect prac- tically the Abyssinian people, for with the exception of priests and monks every man is an actual or potential soldier—love of fighting i§ in his blood.” It Rains Torrents September looms the time for invasion because peculiar weather conditions govern the whole of Ethiopia. The country has two seasons, in the main—Baga, which is the dry sea- on, from September tq mid-Jun and K'aramth, the wet, rainy sea- son of three and a half months, om mid-June to the end of Sep- tember. ‘When it rains it pours” is an un- derstatement when applied to Ethi- opia. The rain comes down in tor- rents and turns primitive roads into raging streams and rivers, War- time maneuvers are impossible un- der such conditions. Ethiopia’s Boundaries Modern Abyssinia is believed to| be composed of three races—the | Hamites of mnorth and northeast Africa; a Semetic strain because of | invasion from Arabia; and a Ni- as likely of the that |gritic element introduced by inter- marriage with conquered negro tribes. For centuries they have beat- jen back invasion after invasion, iand in modern times'have inflicted! |severe defeats on Egypt and Ttaly. | Emperor Menelik, whose army | crushed the Italians in 1896, made boundary treaties with England, France and Italy. The realm now | ruled by Haile Selassie, “thé Con- quering Lion of Judah,” consists of Abyssinia on the north and cen- ter; the alla country in the south and southwest; the negro and ne- groid country of the west; on the east the Moslem tribes and in the southeast the Ogaden Somals. The | rulers of Abyssinia, or as the peo- ple prefer to cdll it, Ethiopia, claim | descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The Abyssinians form one-third of the population.

Royal Garments Rich Peppery dishes are favorites with the natives. The men and women wear cham- mas, a piece of material three yards long and several yards wide which resembles the Roman toga. The so- cial station of the wearer can be ascertained by the richness of the chamma. Marriage and divorce laws, ac- cording to observers, are lax and easy. There are no harems. The men wear cartridge belts, many of them of fancy turn, and | carry rifles. Much Jewelry Worn The women affect much jewelry —bracelets, rings, amulets, neck- laces, earrings. The Abyssinians good horsemen. The religion of Abyssinia has been unchanged since its inception 1,600 years ago. It is Coptic Chris- tian. The priests form a powerful group and are often séén assisting the judiciary, which in the general run of law cases holds court in th: streets. There are no lawy.rs. Tho Mosaic law, “an =ye for "n eye " is the underlying code. “ETIHOPIA” IS THE NAME It’s “Ethiopia” to the Abyssin- ians, The Abyssinidns comprise cne-third of the population of Ethiopia, There are many other races, chiefly the Gallas, sixteenth century invaders finally subdued by Abyssinian kings.
