...Ababa railway. Certain it was that he was fighting. There was some confusion about which side he was fighting for. Weeks ago he was supposed to have been bought by Italian gold. Few days later his men gave the first important reverses to the Italian forces in the desert region south of Mussa Ali (TIME, Oct. 28).

Extensive journeys already made by cosmic ray specialists have yielded valuable results, and the future will see new tools and equipment accompanying an increasing band of workers into these newer fields of exploration...
Canadians on their part also did a little fancy groaning. Merchants were huffy because their fellow citizens could visit the U. S., bring home $100 worth of purchases duty free. Farmers groused because U. S. fruits and vegetables had been given reduced duties. In Ontario, the region most affected, it was believed several Liberal members of Parliament would desert the Mackenzie King government when the trade treaty comes up for ratification in the Dominion Parliament.
