CALLANDER, Ont, Dec. '8. - Hollywoodb five “babystarsl” the Dionne quintuplets, had a day of! from picture making today but will resume work under the glare of the studio lamps tomorrow- Local scenes of the picture "The Country Doc- tor" are expected to be finished Wednesday.

Jean Hersholt, playing the leadlng role in the story based on the life of Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, was able to work Saturday. He bruised his leg when he fell on a stone Thursday but b days rest effected a cure.

CALLANDER, Ont.. Dec. 8.-—Pro- testing against the use of Photo- graphic lights which they believe harm the eyes of their quintuplets daughters. Mr .and Mrs. Ollva Dionne have indicated they are definitely opposed to the melting of moving and still pictures of the quiuts. '

"Thcrc may not be any harm 113W," Cliva said here last night. “but 1t \vlll appear later and if the babies‘ eyesight shoufd be aflected that would be a terrible price to pay for tile photographs that are being taken today."

If thc parents had control of the b: l »'-~they are wards of King George under an Act of the On- tnrio Legislature — no movie com- pany would be allowed to feature the youngsters in a film as ls being done now, Dionne said. Still photo- graphs would be token without the uid of flashes.

‘We have counted 35 flashes from the hospital in a. single afternoon. They are bound to be harmful to their eyes,” Dionne said.

are financial relations between

the provinces and the Dominion. ‘taxation, social services, mining development, agricultural market- ing. natural resources and tourist traffic.

It is understood special atten- tion will be given efforts to co- ordinate social services. involving Mr. King's proposal to set up a national commission on unem- ployment and kindred problems modelled along the lines of the war-time Canadian patriotic fund committee.

Duplication of taxes, costly tax collections, and general overlap- ping of administrative efforts in many directions, will also be a - problem the conference will at- tempt to straighten out.

After Mr. King formally opens the conference tomorrow morning, and the Provincial Premiers have each spoken briefly, the plenary session will be devoted to the set- ting up of committees on the chief hcodings on the agenda.

Ministers of the Dominion Cab- inet will be chairmen of the var- ious committees and they will work behind closed doors. Only the lnltlal session will be open to the press, so far as present arrange- mcnts indicate, although later plcnary sessions may also be open.

The Prime Minister has declar- ed tuat all indications point to definite conclusions being reached at the conference. 'I‘hat ls the objective delegates have set for themselves and both provincial and Dominion Ministers have spent

ROME, Dec. 8—(A.P.)—-Peace by Christmas seemed possible, 1f im- probable, tonight to diplomats who dovetsfed Premier Mussollnrs newest attitude with manoeuvres behind the scenes.

Although I1 Duce refused to bow to the will of the League of at- ions in a. speech to the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, there was more definite talk of negotiations than any yet heard.

Those who hope for a settlement were encouraged, foo, by the Dic- tator-‘s manner and the tone of his voice. His voice, always strong and forceful, lacked the belliger- ence cf a battle cry.

Mussolini disposed of the pro-

Iesgue oil embargo in one simple sentence. 'I'hat made many well-informed persons believe Sir

bassad , or Count De chambrun. the French envoy. may have ss- suted him yesterday the embargo would be postponed or abandoned.

Out. of his restatement of Italy's

ttltude there appeared three factors 0n each side.

Mussolini bluntly proclaimed ag- ain that his army will take what he wants in Ethiopia. that Italy can withstand an economic siege

and that the Fascist spirit multi- plies Italy's power.

On t.he other hand informed ob- servers saw three other possibil- ities: that the dangerous oll em- bargo seems elther dead or dying; that Sir Samuel Houre. British Foreign Secretary. and Premier

, Eritrea, Dec. 8. - A squadron of l6 airplanes flew over Dessye yesterday and bombed the spot; where the Italians believe Em- peror l-lalle Selassie is staying.

The Emperor arrived at Dessye several days ago. 1t was learned here, to direct military operations.

The results of the bombardment were not yet. known.

Dcssye is 250 miles on a straight line from the starting point of the flight.

‘This means the planes flew over 500 miles, and were in the air about _ four hours.

An Ethiopian Government com- munique said the attack started at 8:00 a. m., indicated the planes set out at 6:00 a. m., and returned at 10:00 a. m-. the time this dispatch was written.

The planes carried heavy cargoes of bombs.

U n. c o v ‘e r “Bread Racket”

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-—The slices of bread which New York's house- wives set on their dinner tables feed racketeers $1,000,000 a year, lt was estimated as special prosecutor Tho- mos Dewey's investigators this week pried out a new underworld tentacle.

As agents quietly mopped 11p the overflow of a ring of loan sharks, 15 of whom have already been con- vicvl of usury. other investigators struck at the "bread racket." This was described as a truckmews alli- ance which allegedly exacts tribute from unwitting housewives on every loaf of bread they buy.

Though the retail price of bread and other bakery products may fluctuate in different stores, it was charged, the extra penny or two ls tacked on everywhere so that the racketecr may get his slice.

In a raid on one headquarters of the Flour Truckmens A ’ “ Inc. books and records were seized by Dewey's men. Since 1933, agents declared. the organization has levied a tribute of l5 cents a barrel on all the flour carted ln the metropolitan area.

The city's bakers, who use some 0,000,000 barrels of flour annually, have been forced to raise their prices. and the housewife pays the difference.
