U S Voting Record Questioned by National Club Leader
Simon Michelet of Washington, president of the National Get-Jur-the-Vote club, extends his stay-at-home vote study to major nations. He finds the United States no longer leads in voting turnout, with Britain, Germany, and several European nations showing higher participation. Latin America trails, while New York once set an 108 percent city vote in Boss Tweed's era, a dubious record.

Machinery to halve coal mining costs outlined at congress
Edward J. O'Toole of the United States Coal and Coke company told the American Mining congress that a new mining machine will cut mining costs by about 50 percent and save $500,000,000 nationally. He cited 415,000 tons mined by the process and said explosives would be unnecessary as steel teeth undercut the coal and a self loader collects it.

Abyssinia The Hermit Nation An International Enigma
New York reports the Abyssinia empire as a world affairs enigma. The official report by the educational commission to East Africa, distributed by the Phelps Stokes fund, notes Abyssinia is newly admitted to the League of Nations and tallies population estimates from 4 to 10 million. The piece highlights its independence from European control and vast agricultural potential. It discusses its strategic location near European colonies, Egypt, and East Africa, and the question of when Abyssinia will influence world affairs under Ras Tafari and the Menelik line, as well as Coptic Christian heritage.
