LEAGUE MAY FIX NOV. 18 AS BOYCOTT DATE Attack Operation, on North Front to Reopen, Is Word at Rome. (Continued From f’age One) fortifying their positions on the Aduwa front, it was not a rest period. The soldiers hope to get an answer to the question in their song soon. Roads in the rear of the front area are hung with a mile-high curtain of dust from moving columns and motor trucks. Road Built by Selassie Italy's occupation of Makaic, 50 hales south of Adigrat,, will be of tremendous Importance because it will place the army within striking distance of the only important highway which Joins the Tigre country to Addis Ababa. This road ironically enough was fconstructed by Emperor Haile Selassie and it may be an important factor in his downfall if the Italians decide to move over it toward Addis Ababa. The road extends about 250 miles Into Addis Ababa from Maicio, which is about 12 miles north of Lake Ashangi and about 50 miles south of Makale. The road is 30 feet wide most of the way. wide enough for three lines of traffic, it. is constructed of baked soil and is one of five roads in all Ethiopia which can be used by motor traffic even in the dry season. Tanks Highly Useful • Once the Italians reach the befeinning of the Addis Ababa road there may be developed the entirely new phase of mechanized warfare .'which has been mentioned—use of midget tanks, shoulder high, dash,lng deeply into the heart of enemy territory toward Addis Ababa. Aside from digging elephant traps In the roads the Ethiopians can do nothing against these fleet armored machines. The Ethiopians already have tried digging holes and covering them lightly with soil in ai* effort to trap tanks, but this failed because the wrong places were selected and the crews perceived the traps. Army officers are confident that the tanks will show great usefulness, since they are able to go in -hilly country where even mules .have difficulty, to disperse small Voncentrations of the enemy. They Vlso can direct reconnaissance and bombing planes by signal. Attack to Be Reopened By t nitcil Pri ss ROME, Nov. 2.—The government. Announced today that resumption of operations was imminent in the vicinity of Haramat and Gheralta on the northern front of Ethiopia. An official communique said: ‘‘Gen. De Bono (commander of the Italian armies on the north) telegraphs: ‘We are making intensive reconnaissances in the Haramat and Gheralta zones with a view to the imminent resumption of operations.” ’ “ ‘Civil organization of the occupied territory continues. Owing to the great number of demands from Tigreans (residents of Tigre province) and various regions, voluntary detachments for patrolling the territory even of the Eastern Tigre have been formed. “ ‘Aviation reconnaissance continue on all fronts, particularly over Danakil. On the Somaliland front, our aviators sighted enemy concentrations near Gorraheig. * “ ‘Our troops are in movement.’ ” Italian Troops Harassed By United Press ADDIS ABABA. Nov. 2.—Bands of half-naked Ethiopian warriors, armed with rifle and spear, are harassing Italian forces at the edge of the Danakil desert on the eastern front and inflicting serious losses, messages to the capital said today. So severe have the attacks been, the messages said, that infantry and airplane retaliation is being attempted daily. The warriors are nomads operating in the Mt. Mussa Ali sector near French Somaliland. They charge on Italian detachments just before dawn, particularly in the Aminid district, which contains swamps and barrens. Each night, the messages said, between 3 a. m. and 5 a. m. the warriors make their raids, loot the ramps and disappear in the desert to hide throughout the day while airplanes cruise overhead with bomb and machine guns active whenever they see Ethiopian concentrations. Drive on Tana Planned *y United Press ROME. Nov. 2.—A special camel tcorps comprising 20.000 men is being formed in Eritrea for a drive on Lake Tana, heart of the gigantic British project fir irigating the Sudan and Egypt, a dispatch from Asmara said today. Mid-November—the date on which the League's economic boycott is to be put into effect—is mentioned as the starting time for the drive. Thousands of camels are reported already concentrated at bases along the Setit River, which forms the frontier of Western Eritrea and Ethiopia over toward the Sudan frontier. Other camels are being imported from the Nile lands . Thousands of mules are to be used also, it is reported, because the difficult terrain, desert, barren land and rugged hills. Is unsuitable for mechanized transport. Military experts regard the possibility of such a drive as the most serious development since the outbreak of war with Ethiopia. Hard Blow to Britain It would bring the war home to Great Britain as no other development, perhaps, has done, for Lake Tana is the key to one of the greatest irrigation projects ever conceived. It is the rising point of the Blue Nile that waters all the Sudan and Egypt. Occasional dispatches have reported the arrival of a surprising number of camels in Eritrea. A dispatch from Asmara Thursday said 6000 had arrived from Italian Libya to transport munitions and foodstuffs. Webb Miller.

Jeritza, 'Too Busy’ for Movies or New Husband, Pays City Fleeting Visit

Diva Just Misses Wife of Film Magnate Flying Back to Coast. Maria Jeritza, opera star, and recent bride of Winfield R. Sheehan, movie producer, is ‘‘too busy” to make a moving picture. She also is too busy with her career to spend much time with her new- husband. Madame Jeritza. the former Baroness Popper, who married Mr. Sheehan after her divorce from Baron Pop Der, gained the disapproval of her Austrian countrymen, revealed tnese facts in Indianapolis yesterday. Her blond hair blowing across her face in a raw Hoosier wind at the Municipal Airport, where she stopped for five minutes on her way East for a radio herearsal in New York, Madame Jeritza shook her head when asked if she hoped to go into the movies. “I am too busy,” she said. ‘‘From New York I return to my grand opera performances in St. Louis, and then into a radio program. I will not be in California for some time.” Almost simultaneously with the arrival of Madame Jeritza’s eastbound p’ane was the arrival of the one on which Mrs. Pierpont Morgan Hamilton is hurrying to her husbanw who is “learning the movie business from the ground up” in Hollywood. “I have been East to enter one of my three sons in an Eastern school,” Mrs. Hamilton explained. “I only stayed long enough to do that, and now I am rushing back to my husband.” Mr. Hamilton just has finished sound production on Lily Pons’ new picture. He is to experiment in all

Dancing Grasshoppers! There’s Going to Be Rain That’s Sample of Weather Forecasting Signs State Library Preserves.

When the United States government went into the weather sooth saying business, it rejected as too silly for consideration some of thi homely signs of our forefathers and put its faith in store instruments.

Some persons still think this was a great mistake, especially around this time of the year when it is a matter of breathless importance that we all know what kind of a winter we're going to have. All of those signs have been preserved carefully by the Indiana State Library, and it’s not a bit too early to be bringing them out so ! every one can settle, according to his own tastes in superstition, what to expect from this winter. Our forefathers put explicit faith in the adage that a hard winter is sure to come if animals have heavy coats of fur, and that if a cat sits with its back to the fire, cold weather will follow. If the wind comes down the chimney the weather will be very cold, and when a large number of tumble bugs are seen in the fall the winter will be hard. Thunder as Sign Just as many foggy mornings as there are in January, there will be as frosty mornings in May, and on the same days. Moreover, if it thunders in February the goose eggs won't hatch. There will be as many snows in the winter as there are rains in August. If it thunders in December there will be cold weather, and butterflies in the fall are the sign of the same. Not to mention the fact that if a dog howls at the moon you may expect snow. If your frost-bitten feet itch, it will snow, and if a fruit tree blooms twice in the year a hard winter is in order. If the fire sighs there will be cold weather; if it spits there will be snow, and if it crackles with a fluffy sound there will be a cold snap. . Many Grapes Mean Cold If frost hangs on the timber late ( in the morning, snow may be ex- | pected, and if the gate keeps slamming there will be cold weather. A i heavy grape crop forecasts a hard | winter. If a mule looks toward the ! north there is bound to be a cold j wave. If geese fly low the winter j will be mild and if they fly high it will be hard. If a grasshopper is seen dancing there will be rain within three days, and 90 days after the first katydid is heard there will be frost. When ! pigs squeal there will be a cold | spell. If the nut crop is heavy the winter will be tough, and if the i squirrels gather them, more of the ; same. There will be cold weather when hogs begin to build their beds, but I when peacocks cry a great deal in ; the winter the cold weather is ! about over. This gives you a general idea of > how to get the weather low-down—-keep an eye on the eye of the donkey and forget the weather maps. You probably couldn't understand them, anyway. RELIGIOUS SERVICES TO BE OFFERED ON RADIO The Rev. E. L. Day, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Christian Church Union, is to conduct morning devotional broadcasts next week over WIRE. These programs are sponsored by the Church Federation of Indianapolis and may be heard each morning except Sunday at 6:30. Mrs. Thomas Duckworth, director. Fountain Square Christian Church choir, will provide music. Monday that the largest concentration of camels in Africa's history was proceeding in Eritrea. He quoted travelers from Khartoum, in the Sudan, as saying that they sawmany long caravans, with hundreds of camels in each, swinging across the broad Sudanese plains without loads. Miller suggested that the camels would be used not in the west of Eritrea but over toward the east j when the Italians attack from the I Adi *£ front,

fields of moving picture production, Mrs. Hamilton explained. “Am I interested in the movies? No, I only stay there to be near my husband,” she said. The roar of TWA motors drow T ned out conversation. Madame Jeritza, her bright green suit clinging to her slender ankles, climbed into the plane. It took her into activities which wall keep her away from pro-ducer-husband Sheehan much of the time. Mrs. Hamilton scurried aboard the west-bound plane which was to return her to movie-minded Mr. Hamilton. Just a couple of girls with different ideas!

Skip It If you are a prisoner in the Indiana State Reformatory or the Indiana State Prison a fine and sentence for contempt of court doesn’t mean a thing. At least that was the ruling yesterday of Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz. He said that James Lee, Brazil, serving 3-to-10 years in the reformatory on burglary charges need not pay a SSOO fine and serve a three months sentence for court contempt. Lee had refused to testify while a prisoner in the institution. Mr. Lutz declared the sentences run concurrently and that Lee, who is eligible for parole, can be paroled without serving the additional days in prison. Lee was sentenced in 1932. The contempt sentence was given by a Clay County judge.

Murder Puzzle Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Nov. 2. Plea of Robert Ingersoll for release on a habeas corpus petition from a life sentence for murder today proved puzzling to former Judge Fred E. Hines. Ingersoll is seeking release on the ground that women were excluded from the jury that convicted him. “But Ingersoll was sentenced on his plea of guilty and no jury was involved,” commented Mr. Hines. The circumstances are clear inhis mind because he w'as the sentencing judge, he added. Sentenced at the same time was Ingersoll’s companion, Floyd Strange, Indianapolis. They admitted the slaying of Owen Creekmore in a filliing station holdup on State Road 13, south of NobleSville, four years ago. The pair fled to California, where they were captured. They were indicted and pleaded guilty without questioning the indictments, Mr. Hines said. Mr. Hines promised to be helpful to the attorney general’s office in its opposition to Ingersoll’s release. Strang recently attempted an escape from the state prison.

QUIET SESSION SEEN AS GOAL OF GOVERNOR McNutt Aids Are Reported Watching Activities of Lobbies. BY JAMES DOSS limn Staff Writer State administration leaders today were reported obtaining various legislators, oral commitments to consider only a set program for a special session of the Legislature, in December or January. The administration is said to look with trepidation on the advance activities of three big lobbies, which will present demands If the special session is called primarily for lining up I.idiaa with the Federal Social Security Act. Three I.obbies Very Active These three big lobbies are the i liquor, sales tax and $1.50 tax limi- | tation groups. There will be minor ! groups represented, too, but these | three arc expected to be the most insistent. The $1.50 limitation group—they want elimination of the emergency clause that voids the act—always is active. The liquor interests want several provisions of the liquor act changed and the sales tax proponents want that revenue form subs istuted for the gross income tax law. They are laying plans now in ! view of the apparent inevitability cf a special session. The Governor persistently has remained silent on the possibilities of a session, but has indicated in guarded statements that the Social Security Board may not look with favor on the Indiana old-age pension law' in its present form. Reports Differ on Dates Chief obstacles to Federal acceptance of the Indiana law are the long residence requirement and absence of a right of appeal in pension rejections. Thf national security board Is functioning somewhat haphazardly because of lack of funds, but the board appropriation is scheduled for inclusion in the first deficiency appropriation when congress reconvenes. Political Mischief Feared Although a special session can run 40 days under the State Constitution, most political observers believe Gov. McNutt and his advisers would prefer one that would get the social security legislation out of the way and speedily be adjourned. This reported desire is said to be actuated by motives of economy and fear of the political mischief that might be done if the legislators stay the longest possible time. Hence, the Dec. 1-10 possibility. Lifting Henry Ford's famous wartime slogan, “getting the boys out of the trenches by Christmas,” Statehouse wags are saying that an early December date for the session “might be more likely to get the boys out of the Statehouse by Christmas.” WPA ENGINEERS FAVOR MODIFIED ELEVATION Possibility of South Side Project Seen After Conference. Possibility of a modified Works Progress Administration track elevation project on the South Side was seen today following a conference of WPA officials with Mayoi Kern and James D. Adams, State Highway Commission chairman, yesterday. Col. George Babcock and Maj. W. D. Styer, WPA regional engineers, indicated they favored elevation of the Belt Railroad from East-st to Meridian-st. INSTALLATION SCHEDULE New Officers of Martinsville V. F. W. to Assume Duties.
