BY GOSH... I DID USE. SMITH SEEDS!

MOR FIVE YEARS

THE EMPRESS OF ETHIOPIA NEVER SMILED. Gracious and gentle, never. abandoning faith in her coun- try's ultimate liberation, she has had the agony of her people under Mussolini's rule always present to her mind.

When she went to London from her home in Bath after the great news of Ethiopian successes and the falling for- tunes of the Fascist invaders, one would scarcely have re- cognised her. One saw her now as she was in her own capital-vivacious, strong, with sparkling eyes and ready smiles, the varied expressions of her eager thoughts sue- ceeding rapidly- very gal- lant lady,

In her exiled home in Bath she has hoped and planned for the return to Ethiopia all these five years.

She insisted that her chil- dren and grandchildren in exile with her should study unceasingly to fit themselves for the great part of leaders in the development of their native country. The Crown Prince studied with a tutor, and afterwards at Liverpool of Duke University; the Harrar at Wellington College; the Princess Tsabai, following her own ardent desire, be- came a nurse at the Children's Ormond Great Hospital, Street, and, after qualifying as a State Registered nurse, went to Guy's for further ex- perience.

GALLANT CHIEF

of DAUGHTER

the Empresa, the widowed Prin- ' cess fanigne, has been work- for ing to equip herself future responsibilitics.

She

is the widow of Ras Desta, who continued to fight the Italians among the forests of Sidamo for two years after the Emperor had started on. his historic mission to Europe, which has resulted in Ethio- pia's alliance with Britain to Axis, and hia fight the

to his triumphant return country.

Ras Desta was finally cap- tured by the soldiers of Mussolini, and instead of re- ceiving the honours due to a prisoner of war, was shot and decapitated, his head being. carried round as a sign of Italian vengeance. The mur- der of this magnificent son In-law, who was an ardent co-operator in the great social reforms of the Emperor and Empress, and a most able and generous man, is one of the deep sorrows which havo fallen upon the Imperial family and the people of Ethiopia.

FAT LITTLE RASCALS ARENT THEY?

July 10, 1941. By Walt Disney

SHE NEVER SMILED FOR FIVE YEARS

By SYLVIA PANKHURST

Sylvia Pankhurst, former Suffragist leader and now active worker for the cause of Abyssinian freedom, has just interviewed the Empress of Abyssinia. In this inter- iew the Empress disclosed for the first time her plans to return home. Sylvia Pankhurst has been an intimate friend of the Empress for five years, and is the editor of "Now Times and Ethiopia News."

RAS DESTA'S DAUGIÍ-

TER AND SONS, with the Empresa's youngest boy, are also at school, popular with their companions there and notable in their sports. Their home life is simple and sensible, much like that of

English children, and their English governess proudly told me of their efficient war- time help in "digging for vic- tory" in the big garden, which supplies all the house- hold needs in fruit and vege- tables,

The Empress, like the Em- peror, regards the cause of Ethiopia as part of the cause of world freedom against the Axis, and they have both given many valuable and rare Ethiopian treasures to the British Red Cross.

MUCH TO BE DONE.

"And when I am home again," she said with radiant happiness, "how much I shall have to do! My school for girls-they have made a bar- racks of it; but it will be re- opened as soon as I return."

The Mennen Lyceum of which she spoke the first Ethiopian high school for girls,. on modern European lines, was a cherished work of the Empress. She wanted to start it when the Emperor was regent and the Empress Zauditu was on the throne. The Empress Zauditu, daugh- ter of the Emperor Menelik. II, occupied the throne with the Emperor Haile Selassie, then Ras Makonnen, as Re- gent. But, steeped in the old traditions, Zauditu con- sidered such innovations un- necessary. She thought the old style schools quite suf- ficient.

A

When Empress Mennen came to the throne the high school was her first project. distinguished French- woman was selected na head- mistress, and most of her as- sistanta were French or British. The curriculum was · the same as that of a good boys' grammar school, with gymnastics and sports, music, painting, and also domestic science. Modern languages

were a strong point. The school was an instant success. It started with 100 boarders, and many moro day pupils. The little dark girls in their "gym" tunics vaulted and leapt and climbed with all the vim and go of British or American girls.

"The child marringe is the worst of African customs,” the Empress told me. "My advice has boon: keep your

WALT DISNEY

girls at school and do not let them marry till they are 18 at the very earliest."

HOSPITAL WORK

THE EMPRESS was active in

the work of the hospitals especially that for maternity, the mothers and bables' welfare cen- tres, and clinics which she helped to found in Ethiopia.

When all the progressive work In which she took so zealous a share was broken off short by Mus- solini's outrageous and unprovoked #ggression the Empress Mennen showed her courage and her quali- ty. She called together the women of the capital, and urged them to join in patriolic effort Arst, of which she herself was president, undertook to assist the provision- ing of the umy.

Under its auspices hundreds of women of all ranks met at the palace daily, seasoning meat with salt and pepper and other condiments, and drying in the hot African sun. Ac- cording to Ethiopian custom, they

baked a sort of hard bread of many nourishing ingredients mixed with butter and made into small cakes,

sometimes no larger than a bean -and-so-light-that-u-soldier-could- carry on his back, together with his other equipment, suffelent to feed him for a month with only water in addition. Some of this bread" was ground into powder and put In sacks, to be eaten dry, or mixed with water, and cooked in various ways.

Under the presidency of the Princess Tsahal,, unother organisa- tion of women" made pus masks which covered the face and which were coloured dark brown, not to show out to the enemy. They were beautifully made. The European doctors praised the skilful work, but the deadly yperkte which the Italians sprayed from their planes nn men, women, and children, flocks and crops, was used on too large a seale, and was of too des truclive a character, for their ama- teur gas masks to cope with It. The yperite burnt the clothes, the hair, the very skin; it left only n painful cavity where once eyus.
