Just what has been happening in those sun-smit tYen outposts along the Ethiopian bordey is not at all ‘clear—won't be clear, probably, until the smoke clears away and a good many Young men of both races have died. ~ But it is evident that the excellent old game of jmperialism is being played anew, and the wind-up will probably se: a new sector of Africa experiencing the joys of European rule. . Two or three things are rather significant. One is the fact that Abyssinia appealed to the League of Nations to settle the dispute, ‘and that Jtaly refused to permit it. Another is that France, according to a recent cable, “has agreed tacitly to give Italy a free hand in dealing with Abyssinia, even To taking over most of the country.” In other words, Italy is behaving toward Abyssinia —with Europe’s general consent——in much the same way that Japan behaved toward China; and this i!eed net imply a criticism of either nation, because that is the way strong nations almost invariably be ‘have toward weak ones, . Our own nation got possession 'of California and the othey southwestern states in much the same way, gg‘e!denmny. " Now the thing to bear in mind in this connection s simply the fact that a gtream can rise no higher ‘;ha.n‘lts/ source. An international organization can- Mot impose on any nation a rule of conduct which all itsa member nations are not ready to accept for them- selves. ' The league, to bhe brief, could not keep Japan from taking what it wanted in the Orient because the leading members of the league have done the same gort of thing themselves and are prepared to do it again if they see fit. . The plain fact, then, 15 that no international league ean keep the peace untij the nations which com poses it are ready to turn over a new leaf, individu w. in their own dealings with other nations. . The Italian squabble with Abyssinia is clear proof ‘that we have not yet reached that point. It explains why the league was Impotéent when Japan raided ‘Manchuria. . Underneath all the much-discussed subdivision of the recovery program, there seems to be a slow but ~ definite tide which is moving toward prosperity. Thus the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce reports that industrial production at the end of 1934 was 26 per cent above the low point of 1932, and that 1,300,000 ¥more wage earners were an the payrolls of manu facturing plants than was the case two years ago. " The normal seasonal recession to be expected in January did not appear, cold was moving by rail at a greater volume than in any January since 1931, and the use of electric power was steadily climbing. Whether our recovery is coming because of or in spite of the administration’s efforts may still be a moot point. The important fact is that it it does, “definit.ly, Seem to be under way. " If those scientists who see a direct connection be tween sunspots and earthy climatic conditions are correct, we may well be in for a period of very dis turbed and unusual weather. German astronomerg report a sudden and surpris % development of new sunspots—the largest seen ‘Sinoe 1917. Omne goup of spots developed from noth ing to an area ten timeg the size of the earth in 48 “hours, swirling and rotating in a manner to suggest ‘@ “storm” of almost unimaginable violence on the ?g?m’a flaming surface, . ~ What this may mean for eartidy weather is some fihlns for the scientists to argue about—and for ex perience to show . For the ordinary reader, mean ‘while, thee is something exceedingly fascinating ‘about the thought of these titanic disturbances—un 3’&xmginahly vast cyclones in flaming gas—taking ‘place far off in space, with a few astronomers at telescopes as the only spectators, ~lf you happen to be the average American coffee ~ drinker you drank less coffee last year than in the . year before—some 16 cups less, to be exact. That i& on the word of the New York Coffee and Sugar . Bxchange, which has just finished a survey showing that the consumption of coffee in the United States fell off during 1934—which, by the way, was the first al} year of repeal. - Now there are two possible explanations of this . daet, neither of them, to our notion, worth a great . You might say that a lot of people who used to drink coffee are now drinking alcoholic beverages, ~and that that is why coffee consumption has drop ‘_:('.h"'",fi Or—remembering the desperate ways in which ‘& man gopes for lots of black coffee on the morning | @fter a thorough bender—you could arzue that the decline in coffee consumption last year reflects a imilar décline in the drinking of hard liquor. .As we say, we don't think muach of either explana- ?finfltfima one gets discouraged with the progress f medicine. ¢ . One sees, despite modern knowledge and facilities, ‘the suffering of friends, the all-too-wide prevalence Of disease. And one wonders just how great is this o _‘ cal progress in practical results. %&fflw and then comes an inconspicuous answer which ought to be more generally known. For in- Stance, the New York State Department of Health Teports that not a single case of smallpox was r- ported in that state in 1934. £ .In the “good old days” ‘of ou forefathers, eve., Second face was pitted by the ravages of this dis ‘ease, - NOw. sanitation, pr{:ventive medicine, vacci ‘mation, have all but congriered it. (dn view ‘of the compatative newness of modern medicine as a science, ptogress has really. been a marvel. Sickness, disease| death, may never be con- Quered, but credit for the remarkable progress that €an be definitely shown ought to be given freely. }: GEORGIA PRESS INSTITUTE The eighth annual meeting of the Geor gia Press Institute will convene in this city, at the University of Georgia, this evening. f Founded by Miss Emily Woodward, for i mer president of the Georgia Press Asso ciation, and sponsored by the association,| and the Henry W. Grady School of Jour-f nalism of the University of Georgia, the| Institute has grown in importance each’ year. It i 3 an unique organization and pro-| vides a program dealing with all depart-| ments of the newspaper, editorial writing,l news reporting, business management, circulation, mechanical make-up and job! printing. In addition to the round table| discussions which include every phase of | the newspaper business, noted representa-| tives of the newspaper profession and edu-| cators engaged in the teaching of journal-i ism are brought here annually to address; the members of the Institute. , The Banner-Herald extends to the mem-i bers of the Press Institute its greetings and | a most cordial and fraternal welcome dur- j ing their stay in this city. x SIXTY-DAY DIVORCE LAW There has been introduced in the legis lature a bill providing for the granting of a legal divorce in sixly days. It is argued that with a “hurry-up” divorce law on the statute bhooks, Georgia would be enriched thousands of dollars annually from the coming of people from other states seeking an early and easy separation by dissolving the holy bonds of wedlock. Under the present law in this state a year’s residence is required, and two terms of court with proper decrees hefore an annulment can become absolute., This law has been considered reasonable for all these years, and we can see no good reason for changing it. It is true that in Reno, Nevada, divorces are ground out overnight and couples made over for newly-wedding without leaving the court room, but that is a matter for the people of Reno to settle.’ Insofar as the people of Georgia are con cerned, we do not believe that they favor a sixty-day and one decree divorce law. The bill, however, may be enacted into law, but with it will come no end of sor row and disruption for many wedded cou ples, who otherwise would not undertake legal separation under the present law. To cheapen the bonds of matrimony is to encourage and break down the home and civilization of our people. Divorce laws should not be tampered with or weakened, but should be strengthened, requiring time and procedure in an orderly manner and not one of haste without due consideration of the seriousness of the re sults that are brought on by divorces. TO REDUCE CONGRESSMEN’S PAY Congressman Mitchell, of Tennessee, has caused his colleagues to sit up and take notice of a raid that he proposes to make on their salaries and the' perquisites that usually go along with the office of a con gressman. In a bill introduced by Congressman Mitchell, it is alleged that congressmen are guilty of petty graft, in various ways, that has been considered legitimate for congressmen to take and apply to personal benefits, all of which may be true, but gsome of the items enumerated by the Ten nessean, appears to be perfectly legiti mate. For instance, he desires to prohibit congressmen from drawing mileage; and contends that they should pay their way to and from Washington when attending ses sions of congress. That objection, we be lieve to be unfair to congressmen, and ‘should not be classified as graft. t As to the salaries paid congressmen, we do not feel that they are over-paid, con lsidering the many expenses they are nor 'mally required to bear in keeping with the dignity of the office they hold. How ever, we do agree with the objecting con gressman that nepotism should be elimi nated. The employment of relatives, some of whose names are placed on the payroll, but never leave their homs to perform duty in Washington. Such acts as that are lpuerly graft and inexcusable. However, in our belief, the congressman from Tennessee is wasting his time in his efforts to have passed any such bill. The congressmen will continue to accept the | perquisites of the office so long as they | are within the law or custom for such | benefits to be awarded congressmen. COUNTERFEITING AN INDUSIRY l Counterfeiting has grown to be an im portant industry in this country. Not only bills of various denominations, but in sil ver, quarter and half-dollar pieces. The silver counterfeit money is easier to pass on the public than are certificates, The public does not scrutinize silver as closely las bills of large denominations, conse quently, the shrewd counterfeiter is devot ing his time to coining silver. | | Chief Morgan, of the U. S. Secret Serv ice, is very much disturbed over the in tcreased circulation of counterfeit silver money. It is alleged that the grade of silver used in coining these quarter and half-dollars is just as good as that used by the government, thereby making it hard for the public to detect. Chief Morgan has {appealed to congress for aid in the work of running down the gang of counterfeit |er operating in this country. Before accepting bills or silver money, merchants and dealers should inspect every coin and bill offered in return for | payment of merchandise. Our people can ' not be too careful in taking money in trade. These 'spurious coins and bills are in circu lation, and those accepting such specie of money may find themselves with a supply of “bad money” and no way in which to dispose of it. ; A spider’s first web is as perfect as any that it makes thereafter, oA THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA b G OA TP SAR S TR " - i PSSR BLR Tt —— .

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVIII The crowd shuffled out of the movie theater, stopping to look at postres announcing next week's show; girls peering to catch a glimpse of themselves in the nar row mirror panels at either side of the entrance, to powder noses and dab on rouge, chattering and laughing; young men who spoke in deeper tones, pausing to light cigarets and jam hats on firmly. There were older people and some children—a nondescript crowd, the usual patrons of the Strand where pictures were exhibites which, six wor eight weeks earlier, had been shown in the larger theaters in the more brightly lighted section of the town. v : Steve Meyers ' looked down on Gale as they stepped out on the sidewalk. “Wasn't such a bad pic ture, was it?” he asked, “Oh, I liked®it. That girl who was ‘Gathy’ is a new star, isn't cha? I've never seen her before. And didn't she look beautiful—" The words broke off. A couple— a small girl in a bright red hat and rather dowdy fur coat and a tall youth—had just halted before the glass cage where tickets were sold. Gale heard the girl laugh and turning recognized Ruby Grif fith before she saw it was Phil be gide her. A moment later the two disappeared inside the theater. Steve asked, “What was that vou were saying?” “About the picture? Oh, I don't know—it doesn’'t matter anyhow. That was Phil with Ruby Griffith. Did vou see them?” “Yeh. " They walked in silence for a few moments. Then Steve said, “1 wish you wouldn't worry the way you do about Phil.” “How can I help it? You see the sort of company he seems to pre fer—Ruby Griffith and her crowd. You know what they're like. And he comes home at all hours of the night. and morning. It's only with in the last six months or so that he's been like this.” “Worrying isn’t going to do any good.” “No, I don’t suppose it will. But what can I do Steve?” “Leave him alone. Phil's smart enough to take care of himself. The trouble is you're used to leok ing out for him. You still think of ‘him as a litte boy.” - “But he's only 19—" “That’s. not so young. It weuld be .a lot better for Phil if you'd give him a chance to stand on his ocwn feet. You do too much him.” Seih 2 S-S “Maybe you're right.” “Of course I am! You want to Darkest Africa { : SMEM @OBB NEA IERVICE, MO do too much for everyone, Gale [Yuu'ru always forgetting about yourself, trying to do something ‘for someone else.” . “But I'm not! I don’t do half {thc things I should.” . “T wish you’d let me do them for you.* 3 “Steve—" ! “Oh, I'm not going to say any{ more. I promised I woudln't and I'll keep that promise. You said! you couldn’'t marry anyone now. But there’s one thing I want to ask you. When you were away at school—well, you must have lknown lots of other fellows. Is there anyone else Gale?” ' #¥ou mean—?” ' © “Is there anyone else you're in love with ” ! Gale was glad she did not have lto meet his eves. She knew ex actly how those blue eyes ooked. ISM lxxrned ;away, surprised that her heart was beating so rapidly. She wished it wouldn’t. Steve was waiting for her to answer /and thgre was only one answer to give. You certainly couldn’t count a man you'd_met only three or four times and then purely by accident, even though he had said, “I like you,’ You couldn't count a man you were never going to see again— Gale said, “There’'s no one ese Steve. No one.” He put a hand on her arm, drew Iher close’ His voice had an edge of huskiness. “Then I can go on hoping,” he said. “Oh, Gale, if you only knew how I feel about you—-!" i “You promised,” she reminded him. ' “Yes, T know, I promised.” .He began talking about some thing that had happened at the mill. Five minutes later they had reach Gale’'s home. “You’ll come in, won't you?” she asked. “Not tonight. Going to be home tomorrow evening?”’ “I think so.” “Then I'll drop around.” ‘ They said good night and Gale | went inside the house. IHer father lwas in the kitchen, fumbling about lan open supboard. “Hello,” he said.. “Thought Tl'd like a little something hot to drink. Is there some tea here some where?"” “In that square box,”’ Gale told him. “But sit down—l'll make it | for you.” She filled the kettle and put it over the fire to boil, gét out cups | and saucers and a loaf of bread. ’ “Where's Steve?” her father asked. “He went on.” ' Her father watched as Gale cut lthe bread and placed- it on a plate, [sét out butter and a bottle of milk. “You and Steve haven't been hav }ing any arguments, have you?” he asked. “ 1 S ; Tom Henderson studied his }danghter's face.

The management, which comprises three racketeers and a couple of gamblers, welcomes you; Luke Lamar, a former newsboy named Robinowitz, and his Scin tillating Syncopators welcome you: and I welcome you. If you will all get into the spirit of this gala event and spend a good deal more money than you can afford, there is a chance that tlje orchestra, enter tainers and myself will get paig off tonight. : ! “Well folks, we lured you in here on this so-called celebrity night’ by promising to show you celebrities. We’ll show you some, too — even if we have to invent them. The story sent out by our unblushing press agent was slightly—har-r-umph — inaccurate, He announced that Al Jolson, Noel Coward, Betrice Lillie, Ethel Merman, George Gershwin and a couple of dozen other prom inent people were expected to at tend. What we meant was that they had been invited, and that we hoped they would attend. “However, 1 really didn’t expect to see any of them here tonight, because no honest-to-goodness cele brity patronizes night clubs where he knows he is going to be pestered by long-winded masters of cere mony and a flock of auotgraph hunters. Roasting a Toast “There are, nevertheless, several people here whom I am going' to introduce before our regular show begins, I hope that some of these Broadway—er-—stars will entertain you for a few minutes. And they’d better, because their food and drinks are on the house, “First I want to call on a danec ing star: whom all Broadway knows. It knows him as a whin ing dipsomaniac of considerable talent, but so unreliable that no producer will hire him for a show. Ladee-e-ez and gentlemen—Mr, Al Rubber-Hips Marks!” (A dance by Rubber-Hips, followed by very light applause.) “That was pretty terrible, folks, but wait until you hear the next celebrity on our list! This is a voung man whose doting father, a very prominent politician, believes he has a great deal of talent for mimicry. The management of the Hi-Life club, dear customers, hopes that this guest-star appearance will influence papa into buyving a quar ter interest in this establishment.
