COUNTY PUPILS ARE GIVEN AID National Youth Administration Aided 35 County Students Indianapolis, June 30. Thirtyfive Adams county pupils were assisted in attending school by the national youth administration during the school year Just closed, according to Edward E. Edwards, state NY A director. Nineteen boys and 16 girls earned sums ranging from $3 to $39 while the overage earnings per pupil for the year were S3O, The Decatur, Geneva, Hartford township, Kirkland. Monmouth, Monroe and Pleasant Mills high schools participated in the NYA aid program, providing parttime jobs to pupils on the basis of need. These needy young persons were selected by their school principals and their work was supervised by school authorities. Eighteen of the 35 NYA pupils in Adams county were from relief families.

The Negus said “a certain country” had signed an agreement with Italy in January of 1935, which led the said country to abandon Ethiopia in the war with Italy. Haile Selassie indicated ho intends to return to Ethiopia, where the southwestern |>art of the country still is nit on Italian hands, to continue the struggle.

He had been sent to investigate charges that two Chinese cavalrymen struck a Japanese employe of the Japanese barracks. It was considered likely that the demands call for dissolution of , the 29t:h army, its transfer from North China territory or its control by Japan through Japanese "advisers.” Sentiment in the ranks of the 29th army is anti-Japanese... although General Sung, who fought the Japanese at the great wall in 193:',. is regarded now as pro- , Japanese, it was feat cd that the demands would precipitate a crisis during which Japanese troops, long in virtual occupation of North China, would seize outright control of the territory. Chinese expected that the Jap-

The Glorious go Forth NO ONE can deny they’ve taken their place in the sun these brilliant American women. A week-day finds them, as a matter of course, light-heartedly assuming a full share of the work and responsibility of this busy world. But a holiday sees them off with equal enthusiasm for a carefree playtime. Fresh—relaxed -youthful—they hail the freedom of field and road and beach —and the pursuit of happiness. Gone are the green veils and the timid gestures of other days. Gone the dull complexions- and the dragging old-fashioned grind of duty that kept them prison ers from the sun. Nowadays woman’s work is doncand done in time for a wave and a Ixauty treatment. How? By keeping herself posted on the newest ways to do things—the time-savers, beauty builders, feminine aids and allies. By reading, studying, comparing and experimenting-in the advertising pages of this very newspaper. Advertising is writing a great share of the modern woman’s independence program. I he glorious go forth to buy, as they go to play, with assurance and the resolve to make the most ol hie. They know what they want and where to find it, and the right price to pay. The time and money saved are beauty aids in themselves. READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS.
