...definitely Ethiopia-conscious. In Tokyo famed Foreign Office Spokesman Mr. Eiji Amau said: "The Japanese Government is watching the situation with grave concern because the outbreak of war anywhere is a calamity that indirectly injures many countries besides the combatants.

One of the country's most brilliant crop forecasters, she has worked as a salesgirl in a department store and a stenographer in a Memphis cotton house where she began writing crop reports in 1919. As estimator for James E. Bennett & Co., Mrs. Miller does not rely solely on the reports of her 5,000 agents but travels personally through the grain and cotton belts.
