Homer Brew will return to work Monday and has written Dumbbell that he is going to throw him out of the office. Dumbbell is preparing for him.

Yet earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves have occurred the past year precisely in the zone I indl- | cated. Compared to what I am con- vinced {s coming, the Japanese dis- aster is a minor one.” PREDICTS ITALY x WILL SUFFER NEXT » Dr. Nobles makes this Specific forecast for the tmmediate future: “Italy will probably suffer next—a terrific catastrophe within 30 days.” Ten years is the time he sets for a world reborn. “Look at the map,” he says. “In the zone of black—the death belt— are located the world's active vol- canoes. There Is a connection be: tween them, proved by the fact that when Mt. Etna erupts in Italy the lava sinks in Mt. Hecla’s crater in Iceland. “Continual readjustment of the earth's crust will open a chasm be- neath the sea that will connect with the fires beneath the surface in this doomed belt. “This will cause the formation of steam, and the enormous pressure thus generated will literally blow up continents and submerge them. “Aa the water rushes into these (Turn to Last Page, Column 3) ‘FIGHT FANS, ATTENTION “The Good Old Days,” a story of oldtime fights and fighters that carries you back to the early days of the Northwest, is starting today on the sport page of The Star.

TwoThrones Slipping at Edge of the Abyss (Editorial) Two thrones are tottering today as Spain rocks with revolution and Jugoslavia faces war with Italy. Within the next 24 hours King Alfonzo XIII. of Spain must yield to his army now in revolt or lose his crown. King Alexander I. of Jugoslavia must not allow himself to be humiliated by Mussolini, dictator at Rome, who threatens to annex the Asiatic seaport, Fiume, to Italy, if he wishes to retain his coronet. In 1920 Spanish arms met with serious reverses in Morocco near, Melilla. Since then the Moors have ad- ministered a series of defeats to King Alfonzo’s legions in a war which has gone on steadily very much like the one in Cuba prior to American intervention in the island in 1898. The war in Morocco is very unpopular in The Spanish treasury has been drained and the people have been called on, time and again, to furnish cannon fodder to keep it going. Only a prorogration of of the Cortes prevented things from coming to a head four weeks ago. General Aguilleras, head of the supreme war and navy council and leader of a Fascisti movement, had suc- ceeded in bringing to judgment the cabinet ministers accused of being responsible for the Melilla disaster when parliament was suddenly adjourned to prevent the trial. Now the army demands a clean sweep of his cabinet and a reorganization of the government. If he does not yield, he is lost, particularly as a wave of social unrest is sweeping the country at this time and both the Republican and the Fascimo parties are fast growing in strength. King Alfonzo’s personal popularity has saved him - thus far, and, while the revolt is not against the throne, Alfonzo must imitate King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, who gracefully bowed his head before the oncoming Fascisti, if he would save his crown. In Jugoslavia King Alexander has been uneasy on his throne from the first. The Croats, Slovenes and Bohn- ians—all the new peoples included with old Serbia to form the young kingdom of Jugoslavia—have never been quite satisfied, many desiring independence. On the other hand, the Serbs proper, cockiest people in Europe outside of Italy, want King Alexander to show an iron hand. If he backs down now before Italy it will mark the beginning of his enc.

Theater Manager Unable to Stop Picketing - Judge Everett B. Smith Friday dismissed the temporary : omer granted John Danz, proprie etor of a chain of movie houses, preventing Seattle unions from picketing his theatres. The tem- porary injunction was issued against the Musicians Theatrical Employes local 154 and the Building Service Employes un- ion. Judge Smith ruled that the three organizations, being voluntary asso- ciations, cannot be restrained or sued. Danz also asked $10,000 damages. The suit against Mother ‘Titus, and several individuals and the temporary restraining order to pre. _ vent picketing still stands. Dans has been engaged in legal con- troversies with his former employes and with theatrical unions for _ many months. He claims pickets have damaged him to the extent of $10,000, Union officials considered the de- cisions, which were given on murrers, constitute a marked tory for thet unions.
