FIGHT AGAINST RIGID
BLOCKADE RESUMED
BY LEAGUE STATES
(By Associated Press)

GENEVA. Oct. 4.-Eight small
states, members of the League of Ma
tions resumed in this mornings ses-
sion of the assembly of the league
their fight against the too rigid appli-
cation of blockade regulations which
are prescribed as one of the weapons
to be used by the league against a
state which has violated the covenant
of the organization.
Greece has been especially active in
her effort to bring about an amend
ment of article 1e of the covenant of
the league, so that no state can initi-
ate a blockade on it's own account
without previous notification from the
council of the league that the block
ade of a covenant breaker is in order
A motion introduced by Holland, pro-
viding for a suspension of all action
under article 16 was withdrawn. and
a Greek amendment to article 10,
which would provide that individual
states would not exercise the right of
blockade until a date had been fixed
by the council was lost.
Adopt Anne ndments
Several amendments proposed by
the committee were adopted without
modification. The principal changes
made were in the provision for an ad-
journment of a blockade by particular
states, which in the judgment of the
council, run too great risk from a
neighbor which has violated the cove
nant An additional clause stipulated
the council would give an opinion
whether a breach of the covenant had
| taken place, and if delegate from an
accused state should on such an oc-
casion be a member of the council, he
would be debarred from voting
| The constitutional committee upon
service from the council has decided
to drop the question of increasing the
members of the council. The perman.
! ent mandates commission convened
/ this morning for the first time at the
secretariat of the league. This com
mission, charged with the task of ex
amining reports from mandatory ma
/ tions on the administration of former
German colonies and former Turkish
territories, has been promised early
| reports.

LOCAL EFFORT
WILL RELIEVE
IDLE WORKERS
Bulk of What Will Be Done
Will Take Form of Organi-
zation Of municipalities
Over Country.
Will HELP OWN FIRST
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The un-
employment conference has gone far
enough to make it possible to see
what is likely to come out of it in the
way of emergency relief.
So far as this part of the confer
ence program is concerned the bulk
of what will be done in the way OF
relief will take the form of an organi-
zation of the country, city by city
Every mayor will be requested to set
up a committee, which shall include
manufacturers and other business
men, the labor leaders and representa-
tions.
This committee in each city will
handle the unemployment of that city.
The relation of Washington to it will
be Intentionally slight and will ex-
press itself not so much in supervision
as in stimulating advice, cooperation
and similar forms of help.
To Help Own First.
Each system will be urged to adopt
a system of priority in furnishing re-
lief to it's own unemployed, in order
to prevent migration from cities which
are slow in getting under way to cities
which are prepared.
The unemployed in each city will be
registered and will be classified into
three groups, the first being those for
whom Jobs can be secured immedi-
ately: second, those who, although
without jobs. have some available
form of relief in the shape of savings
or benefit dues. and the third group
of those who must be cared Tor by the
charitable organizations.
This is the burden of what the con
ference will do as regards emergency
relief To certain extent, it is pat
termed on the method of organizing
the country, followed by the food ad
ministration during the war. the prin
ciple of decentralization and local re
sponsibifity being emphasized.
To Take Up Problems
With the matter of emergency re
lief out of the way, the conference
probably will take up two or three
related but entirely distinct problems
One will be how to increase the gen
eral business activity and prosperity
of the country Whether the confer
ence knows it Or not, this will leac
them head-on into a consideration o
the present state of Europe, for sub
stantial prosperity in the United
States must wait upon 2. resumption
of buying power upon the part of th'
unhappy nations of Europe.
Unfortunately this resumption o
buying power does not seem yer.
close. So long as this condition last
it presents the problem whether ther
is any way of getting Europe back t.
normal in an economic sense othe
than by the cooperation of the Unitet
States.
The other two subjects which late
on will be taken up by the conferenc
will be an effort to anticipate som
conditions which the far-seeing thin
may arise during the coming winter
and finally some discussion in tn
academic field of the rela tions of l.
Dor and capital looking to recommer
dations These matters, however, wi
be postponed until everything to b
done about emergency relief is con
pleted and under way.-(Copyrigh

IDLENESS CAUSESLOSS
OF OFS6,50O,OOO,OO0
TO AMERICAN LABOR
nv A ssociated pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-Losses in
earnings of workers throughout the
country during the past fiscal year
due to involuntary idleness were put
at more than $6,500,000 900 in an es-
innate prepared today by economic
experts of the national conference on
unemployment.
This estimate it was explained COW
cred the loss in wages because of un-
employment of all the jobless in the
country from July 1920, to August Is,
1921 and was based on an approxima-
ton of normal pay levels rather than
on the scales at the peak of high
wages. Efforts of the conference it
was said would be turned toward a
remedy for the economic loss to the
country from such reductions of the
earning power of its workers in the
future by more stabilized industrial
plan.
Would Take Time
Preparation of the conference rec
concentrations for a permanent policy
to combat unemployment and revive
business ard commerce would prob
ably require at least two weeks work,
officials declared Some of the sub
committees might complete their re
ports before the conference recon
venes on Monday, it was said. but il
was expected that new committees
would be formed for the investigation
of various economic problems involved
in the situation and that at least an
other week would be consumed in the
drafting of the final conference recon-
mendations
In addition further consideration Of
the emergency program may be taker
up by the conference and supplemental
emergency measures suggested.
President Harding in statement
made public late yesterday called up
on governors and mayors Throughout
the country to organize in their com
munities machinery for the correction
/ of economic conditions along the line;
/ already developed by the conference
| He announced that Central agenc.
would be maintained here under th'
! auspices of the conference to give ma
/ tional coordination to the work.

Ancients Seem to Have Had the Right
Idea In Their Attitude Toward
Inevitable Death.

What happens to us when we diet
What does it feel like to pass out Of
this earthly life and enter the I'M
known beyond?
p. An interesting answer comes from
group Of psychologists. Their observa-
tons are that, in the dying hour, the
sense of smell is the first to fail.
Then, in order, the dying person loses
taste, sight, touch, hearing.
Thus the five senses pass. Outward
ly, death seems to have taken place.
: But how about the sixth sense--cOn-
sciousness? Many medical men be-
lieve the brain is conscious, sometimes.
as long as 20 minutes after the five
senses are gone.
Everyone has heard Of people who
had visions of angels. music and a
food of bright light, in the moment
of passing from the material world
Why fear death? Life is only
journey, death only change. The
ancients contemplated death without
fear, and met it with Indifference.
They accepted it as inevitable, hence
never raised affairs to it as they did to
things that might change-misfortune,
fever, volcanic eruptions or the god
at rain.
They recognized that there was no
use in appealing to- death, the Great

sapnhire With a History.

The big sapphire on the top Of the
cross on the state crown of the king
of England once was believed to have
the power Of curing rheumatism, SCI
atica and various other diseases which
afflicted men thousand or so years
ago. 1t is not believed that this stone
has lost any Of the powers with which
it began, life, perhaps million years
ago, but Il large part of the British
public seems to have lost faith in Its
curative properties. This sapphire was
once the setting Of the coronation ring
Of Edward the Confessor, who was
buried in Westminster abbey, and was
taken out of his casket In the year
11O1, since WHICH time it has been one
of the English crown jewels. 10

. u;ched in with the adventurous love
story presented in "Ladyfingers,' a

for the last time at the Grand theatef
tonight.
! It is a crook play, but so different
from the usual run Of crook plays as
10 stand out prominently. 1t is just
the sort of dramatic story which Dr.
rector WELLER showed by his famous
stage productions, that he knows how
to ret the most out Of it. It deals
With the career Of youth who is
trained by a notorious safe cracker
ia his perilous profession. Because OF
his delicate fingers he is known as
Iiady6ngers and is eagerly sought BY
the police. He is also sought by his
grandmother, a rich and eccentric
woman, and is brought face to face
with her when on a visit of burglary
to her home, in ignorance that he is
her grandson. Though the old lady
wishes to acknowledge and forgive
him he refuses to accept the mantle
Of responsibility, and proceeds to
work out his salvation in his own way.

trayal Of the youthful crook, whose
conscience, once awakened, proved
more effective than all the skill Of the
police. Ora Carew, as the girl whose
