1930 # Addis Arabia, Abyssinia--For the ' Empress of Ethiopia, Her Ma " jesty Woizero Manen, the coronation _ of her husband Emperorer Haile Sel- *lassic I, on November 2, will be a : "coming out," party. Her husband "was, till April, when the Empress #Zaoditou died, ruler of the country, "with the title of King. As long as "the Empress was alive, it made so- "cial functions rather awkward to "have two women of almost equal "rank in the court. Consequently, the een had to retire in favor of the mpress. \ : .*. This obscure life, which' she has 'plt to the service of her six chil- ren and to the aid of orphans in 'the capital, will end on the coronation: 'day 'and she will: take her place alongside the Emperor. But she will 'never be able to do much more than direct the court and to look on. Her physical handicap, overweight, will eny her the pleasure of dancing and "fnoving about sufficiently to be the "belle of the court." This affliction is hereditary in Ethiopian women. "The Empress Zaoditou was unable to use her legs excepting when support- ed by servants on either side. She seldom stood on her feet. All tra- ' welling was done in a sumptuous lim- seusine. oc Her Majesty is but forty years of sage. She inherited immense wealth, iincluding a great deal of property in Addis Ababa, from her father, sEmperor Menelik. Her brother, who .was dethroned as Emperor in 1917, is deprived of enjoying his heritage as she has been held since his dethrone- ment within reach of the present government, sixty miles from the Gibb: (palace). Her subjects have known Woizero Manan as a woman with simple tastes. Since the death of the Em- press Zaoditou, she -has entertained in the Gibbi both for the court and for European women. She also has appeared at banquets with the Em- peror. But she continues to spend her time thinking about the welfare of her children. The Prince Imperial is but 16 years -of age. Her oldest child, a girl, is married to the gov- ernor of a rich coffee-growing proves ince. She founded and keeps up with her private funds a carpet factory which gives work only to orphans. WOMAN WAS HEAD "OF BIG DRUG RING Sydney, Australia--It is hoped here that the conviction of Mrs. Kate * Lee, so-called Queen of the Under. world, and acknowledged ruler of a desperate band of gunmen, will break the Australian drug ring whieh for ears has directed the drug traffic in Australia. Police say that, bereft of its brains, the narcotic ring must collapse. . Kate Lee and her beautiful daugh- ter, Eileen, lived a life of ease and splendor. Their fleet of antomobiles #ivalled that of the governor. Their tesidence had been raised on numer- ous occasions by: police but finally Kate Lee was found in possession of gocaine. She was sentenced to 12 snonths' imprisonment and fined $17,000. GIVE PREFERENCE TO UNIONIST VETERANS ". Sydney, N.S. W.--~The Federal cab- thet has raised a hornet's nest abolit its ears with its abandonment: of the pledge made by previous governments on behalf of the Australian: people, that preference in government: em- ployment, other things being equal, 'should 'be given to veterans of the Great War, Until the Scullin government's ac- dion in giving preference to return- ed 'soldiers "who are trade unionists," the former pledge had been observed by the Commonwealth, and appli- cants for government jobs were ask- ed to give their war record and no- ing said about their labor affilia- s. Now, however, the possession of a union card has become the most important qualification for job-seek- ers.

FLIERS ENDURE MANY TORTURES Tormented by Leeches After Plane Crashed in Jungle Rabaul, New Guinea --Captain Thomson, pilot for New Guinea Gold . Limited, and his, mechanic, McMurtrie, have been brought to the coast after crashing into a mountain peak and enduring tor- tures in the jungle. 'While flying a tri-motored Hand- ley Page plane between the moun- tain goldfields and the coast the were caught in a terrific storm. The powerful machine was tossed about like a kite until it was finally flung against a mountain, being impaled on a tree, like a butterfly on a specimen board, Thomson and McMurtrie climbed down the tree and commenced an arduous journey to the coast, They struggled through the jun- gles in the ranges. Their clothes and flesh were torn by the thorns of the needle bush and their wounds were irritated by leeches which dropped upon them from the trees. Their sores festered. Bush flies poisoned their eyes, Then McMurtrie contracted the dread scourge of the tropics, black- water fever, and pleaded to be left behind, Raving deliriously, he had to be carried on the back of his tot- tering, almost-blind, companion who was unable to sleep for fear of an attack by hostile natives. Both were on the verge of collapse when 3, honren party located and rescued em, .

PHLUPINES HEAD HUNTING STIL OCCERS Children Murdered in Homes by Mountain Warriors Baguio, P.l.--Head-hunting, as rare as it is now in the Phillippines, still oceurs occasionally. Recently the head of a three-year-old Igorot girl, her hands and the hands of hér babe sister were taken as tro- ph by some wandering head- hunters who 'enteréd the isoleted mountain home of the children in the absence of theeir parents. The 'authorities believe that it was done by two or three young bucks of one of the mountain 'tribes who were inflamed by old tales to emulate their ancestors. ¢ When the United States officials first. came to the Islands there was organized. head-Bunting in which all the warriors of a tribe went out on an expedition, That is a thing of the past now, but heads are still taken now and then for revenge and love, The tribesman who kills another over a quarrel, or to avenge some wrong, sometimes gives way to the old urge and takes his victim's head. Again, a young. buck will '|sometimes go head-hunting to prove his worth to the girl he is wooing.

WORLD'S L4RGEST LAND PLAE WILL BE USED AS FREIGHTER Huge German Airplane Will 'Be Used on Commerciai Air Trails Dessau, Germany. -- The world's largest land plane, the Junkers G-38, will be put to work as a German freighter. Designed to carry 42 pas sengers, a crew of seven, and 6,600 pounds of cargo, the giant monoplane has been groomed for service on commercial air trails by its firsi cross-country flights, The ship is seen by Prof. Hugo Junkers, its designer, as a realiza- tion of a problem on which he has worked for 20 years--economical and dependable air transportation of large loads over long distances. Sur- passed in size only by the Dornier flying boat, DO-X, the freighter is an approximation of the ideal "fly- ing wing." Its four motors are built into the single wing which is acces. sible almost to the extreme tips. Aside from two cabins in the fuse lage, passengers, pilot' room and 'cargo and fuel spaces are located in the all-metal wing. The engines are accessible from within for servicing during flight. To support the normal flying weight of 22 tons'on the ground, a landing gear of two wheels mounted in tandem on each side re- presents a new departure. A telegraphic device allows the pilot, who is relieved of the care of the - power plant, to communicate with the chief mechanic. There are two complete systems for fighting fires, one operated electrically or automatically. when a fuse melts, and another by a hand valve. The ship is of all-metal construction and has a cruising speed of 106 miles an hour. Its wing spread of 144.35 feet, less than 14 feet shorter than the span of the DO-X, Et ---------------- LARGEST ALL-CANADIAN LAKH Great Bear lake in the Mackenzie district of the Northwest.
