UNIQUE METHOD
PLAN IN PAVING
SAND HILL ROAD

Survey of the highway route
through the sand hills between Holt
vile and Yuma is expected to start
next week, and it is hoped that
plans which have been under inyes-.
tigation by the state highway de
partment, with a view of eliminat-
ing the plank road, can be success,
fully carried out. ,.
1t is proposed to drill a number
of wells along the sand hill route
from winch a water supply can be
obtained, and the sand wetted down
and rolled until it is packed tightly.
a layer of clay eight TO II inches
III thickness will be placed on the
sand base, and upon this latter Il
concrete and asphaltum top will be
laid.
The north and west side of all
sand dunes adjacent to the road
will be oiled, to eliminate drifts and
shifting banks.
The state highway department is
of the opinion that this plan sean
be successfully carried ottt, and if
so, il will mean reduction of from
20 to so minutes in the running
time between Yuma and the valley,
thereby bringing these communities
even closer together.

DarrO,U to Debate Death Penalty
Ban With Senator Stanley Here
Leopold and Loeb Counsel to Defend TieiUs in
Contest to Be Held in auditorium on
Saturday, March IA.

The Auditorium was selected be-
cause of it's ability to accommodate
members of the legal profession, law
students, high school debaters and
others.
Mr.. Darrow has been a persistent
opponent of the death penalty for
crime during his 46 years as a prac-
ticing lawyer his holding being that
the State, which is set up by indi-
vidual human beings, has no more
moral right to take life than the indi-
vidual being who represents a COM
ponent part of the State.
Senator Stanley achieved wide dis
tinction as an orator in the Senate,
matte punch and qualifications as
word painter caused him to be placed
among the legislative shock troops of
the Democratic forces.
Capital punishment is not new to
him as a practical idea, for he listen
ed to many brilliant pleas for
executive clemency as Governor OF
Kentucky some years ago, and he has
participated both as defense counsel
and prosecutor in historic Southern
legal battles.
The same rules which governed the
debate between Mr.. Darrow and
Judge Alfred ]. Talley of the New
York Supreme Court under the
League for Public Discussion at Town
Hall will be in vogue for this debate.

the debate will be announced later.

WORLD CONDITION
HELD IMPROVED
Federal Reserve Board Says
1924 Progress Best
Since War.

The Federal Reserve Board in a
review Of 1924, published yesterday, con-
siders that period as one of definite
progress toward establishment of
the international gold standard. At
no time since the end of the war, 1t
was said, have the efforts to restore
81 world gold basis made such prog
ress
Reviewing world as well as do
mestic economic conditions in the re-
port, the board calls attention to
the increased confidence in the Euro
pean financial situation, the return
to a parity of exchange in three
countries and the facilitation of for
elgn borrowing. These, ii suggests,
are important factors in making dol
lar credits and gold available in
those countries which are seriously
attempting to establish sound mon
stary conditions.
Confidence Increased.
Settlement of the troublesome rep
arations question and the restoration
of sound monetary conditions in such
countries, as have made steps in that
direction have increased the conf
dence OF the American investors in
European securities, the board be-
lieves. 1t feels also that, backed by
this confidence, there has been a ten
dency to increase investments by
Americans abroad and the taking up
OF a large volume of foreign loans,
governmental and private, here.
The volume Of such loans in 1924"
the report continues, was nearly three
times as large as in 1928, and larger
than in any year since the war. While
large part of the loans was used in the
purchase of goods in the United States,
several countries used dollar credits thus
obtained in supporting the exchange
value of their currencies.
During 1924 the exchanges of three
European countries returned to pre-war
parity, several other countries adopted
new monetary units related to gold and
still other currencies were maintained in
a definite relationship to the dollar or to
the pound sterling. In the closing months
OF the year there was considerable inn
provement in many Of the leading Euro
pean exchanges, particularly in the
pound sterling exchange, which, at the
end Of December, was within 21s per
cent of parity.
ITO the extent the dollar credits
created in the United States through
foreign borrowing were used to with
draw gold. they made it possible to
increase the actual gold reserves of
foreign countries and to utilize for
monetary reconstruction a portion of
the gold which during recent years
had come to this country as a result
of disorganized conditions abroad.
Gold received from abroad has
been the principal factor in bringing
money rates in this country to a low
level, and the difference between rates
here and abroad. at a time of in
creased confidence in the European
financial situation, facilitated foreign
borrowing and thus contributed TO
making dollar credits and gold avail
able to those countries which had un-
dertaken to re-establish sound none
tary conditions. With the actual re-
sumption OF gold payments in GER
tain countries and the stabilization
of currencies with reference to gold
in many other countries, the year
1924 has been one OF definite progress
toward the establishment of the
international gold standard"

would have been right If only it could
have been based upon the facts Peter
knew now, as If by sudden humili-
ating revelation, that he had been fool
ish to even attempt the method of the
great analysts, as they are called, who
are always conveniently provided with
every vital fact beforehand; he knew
that what he must get was more evil

On his key ring he looked for the
key to Parmalee's house up the Hud-
