MADRID, Oct. 26 (UP).—
Spain’s increasing precautions in
the face of Italo-Ethiopian hostil-
ities, although carried out dis-
creetly, are producin'- unexneeted
repercussions in the Western
Mediterranean.
The people suddenly have real-
ized that a part of Spanish terri-
tory is as much exposed to the
danger of being made a battle-
field as Belgium was in 1914.
However, the official explanation
for reinforcement of Spanish gar-
risons around Gibraltar is that
these measures were necessary as
a result of military maneuvers and
the enlargement of garrisons at
such places as Tarifa, San Roque
and La Linea. But the real mo-
tive seems to be to establish strong
Spanish posts close to the British
foothold in the peninsula am1
thus facilitate the protection of
Spanish neutrality in the event of
an attack on Gibraltar. This is
tantamount to assisting England.

Ruins May Hide King
Solomon’s Rich Mines
JOHANNESBURG, South Af-
rica (UP)—The secrets of mys-
terious Zimbabwe, the ruined rel-
ics of a dead civilization which for
years have puzzled archaeologists,
at last are to be probed by a
scientific expedition, which will
have the support of the Rhodesian
government.
Prof. Raymond Dart, the an-
thropologist and discoverer of the
Taungs skull, who knows the ruins
well, believes their secrets will be
revealed.
The Zimbabwe remains of great
buildings which lie near Victoria,
Mashonaland, for half a century
have been the center of scientific
controversy, both as to their age
and their original purpose. They
are believed by many to be the
legendary mines of King Solomon,
while others suppose they were
fortresses attached to a great
trading center dealing in the
products of the neighboring gold
mines. In the Towers of Silence
which dominate the ruins, the
dead of a once great civilization
are believed to have been cre-
mated.
“When we find their tombs,”
Dart declares, “we shall be near a
solution of the meaning of Zim-
babwe.”
The expedition Is expected to
work for five years.
Since its discovery by Adam
Renders in 1868, there have been
a number of small explorations on
the site, but nothing decisive ever
has come from them. The new
expedition. deauoed.Ba. large
scale, will penetrate further inta
the mystery than any hitherto.

To Share Estate.
The elder brother said Howard
would share equally with him and
his sister the estate of his father,
$18,000 in life insurance and
about $40,000 worth of real es-
tate.
The State had charged that
Howard killed his parents that he
might come into a share of the
estate to complete his education.
Y oung Pierson can not be tried
for murder unless he should be
pronounced cured of insanity.
Eight experts testified at hi:
hearing there was little chance of
his recovery and those familiar
with the case believe he may re-
main in an asylum for the remain-
der of his life.
All medical experts testified he
is insane and does not know the
England or France, or both, ac-
cording to the present trend of
Spanish foreign policy.
One of the latest steps taken by
the Spanish government was to
prohibit flying over the Balearic
Islands ‘‘because of the exigencies
of national defense.” lhe prohi-
bition affects the islands of Mal-
lorca, Ibiza, and Formentera and
their jurisdictional waters. The
decree anouncing this prohibition
establishes two canals, one mile
wide and 250 meters maximum
altitude for air traffic to Palma
and Alcudia bays, to which there
is a regular air passenger service.

DETROIT (UP)—When De-
troit’s 175,009 elementary school
pupils receive their first report
cards this year there won’t be any
A’s and B’s on them.
But, hastened to explain Super-
intendent Frank Cody, that
doesn’t mean the children aren’t
capable of earning good marks.
Under the new plan being started
this year pupils will be marked S
for satisfactory work, and U for
unsatisfactory work in academic
subjects-
In addition—and this is the im-
portant feature of the new sys-
tem, Cody said—pupils will be
rated on citizenship. Six head-
ings are provided on the new type
report card, listing the following
attributes: adaptability, self-con-
trol, initiative, cooperation, reli-
ability and courtesy.
If the spaces beside these quali-
fications are left vacant, then the
parents know the child is not de-
ficient in any one of them. But
if one or more is checked the
pupil has been found to need im-
provement in that partict(lar
essential.
The new type report card is
favored because it eliminates the
fine distinctions necessary in
numerical and other methods of
marking. Then too, Cody pointed
out, it provides the item of citizen-
ship, because the record of promo-
tion is included on the new card,
and because it closely approxi-
mates the personal letter from
teacher to parent regarding the
child’s work.

verdict of suicide.
An outcast murderer ready to
kill anyone for the price of a few
“reefers” of marijuana—a drug
which induces a homicidal mania
—Stem, alias Stein, had no friends
and had been marked for death by
a number of gangsters who had
employed him and who feared he
would turn against them as he did
Joseph Amberg, powerful racket
leader.
Had Been “Marked”
In Brownsville, the slum area
of Brooklyn where Stern started
his criminal career with the
murder of a patrolman in a hold-
up 13 months ago, at least three
gangsters were known to have
sworn that they would finish the
“mad dog" killer for his bloody
forays against racketeers.
Detectives investigated a report
that these gangsters had indi-
cated they would “string Stem
up" rather than shoot him down
or hack him to death and pour
gasoline over his body as Stern
did in killing Louis (Pretty)
Amberg, brother of Joseph, last
week.
But the report that interested
police held that Stem had been
picked up by gangsters for the
slaying of Flegenhcimer and mur-
dered to keep him from talking.
This was borne out by Stem’s
presence in Newark where Flegen-
helmer and three of his aides were
killed.
The fact that no weapons found
in the room also was considered
to strengthen the murder theory.
Stern, it was known, never trav-
elled without a gun.
In the few months of his crim-
inal career Stem accounted for
the following men, according to
police records:
Joseph Amber, racket leader
and his chauffeur Morris Kessler,
who were lined up against a gar-
age wall and shot.
Frankie Teitelbaum, friend of
Amberg, beaten to death.
Patrolman J. J. Fraser .shot
during a holdup.
Louis (Pretty) Amberg, power-
ful ganster, tortured and burned
to death.
Harry Horowitz, with
Stern once roomed.
Ben Kolinsky and Frank Dolak,
slain from an automobile while
standing on a street corner.
Harold Brooks, killed on
street.
In two other murders Stem was
suspected but not
named as the killer.
