SAHARA DESERT
 MADE ID ORDER
Movie Men Utilizing Arizona
 Arid Lands

Yuma, Ariz,, April 30 P -- The Riffs can go on with tho war undis- turbed ns the motion picture indus try does not need their Sahara desert It is building one of its own in Arizona.
 While the result of their handi- craft will not be bigger. it will be a better Sahara, say the movie, prop erty men who are laying out the trackless vistas in the glarlng sands along the Mexican border.
 The desert was needed for the filming of Beau Gcste," story of the French foreign legion. The scenario called for q location on the African desert but trouble with the Riffs made the cooperation of the French government impossible, so it was decided to lay out q desert near CT home.
 Conformation Of the land on the Arizona sand stretches is similar to that of the Sahara. The sand while fine, is of a reddish color and photo- graphs better than that of the Afri- can desert, the glaring whiteness of which makes trouble for the camera men. A hundred men of the pro- ducers property staff went to work building a wooden branch road from the main plank highway leading from Imperial Valley, California and constructing large fort. Materials were hauled to the end of the plank road, then shot down a chute over q 500-foot dune to the valley below, then across country for two miles.
 When the company is on location it becomes a camp of l,600 men.
 Women were barred, even nurses in the emergency hospital being men. Five hundred horses, many of them Arabans, were shipped from the movie capital to the desert sites.

 During the winter peculiar forma- tions are caused by the gas seepages. When the river is frozen over, gas accumulates under the ice and as the pressure gathers, it forces thin sprays of water through the weaker spots in the ice and these sprays freeze in curious formations of arches and low pillars.

DEBS FIGHTS GAMELY
 AGAINST GRIM REAPER
Physicians Says His Desire to Live Is Warding on
 Waiting Death

Chicago. Oct. 20 Rl-The reso- luteness that sustained Eugene V. Debs through trying times as the na- tion's chief exponent of socialism, was with him today as he lay at deaths door.
 Fighting against the odds of failing heart and the infrmities of Il years, he lay in a state of coma at a suburban sanitarium but physi- clans said his desire to live awarded off the end although he was uncon- scious.
 MT. Debs had been in that condi- ton since Saturday night and the four-day coma was characterized as most unusual by his physicians who, however, made known at an early hour that they did not expect the patient 10 live through the day.
 A consultation last night revealed that the man who was five times chosen by the socialist party for the presidency of the United States, the last time while he was in federal prison for declarations against the drafting of men for World war serv- ice, pursued his long activity in be- half of labor and social reforms un- der the handicap of heart disease. From the age of 16 he had suffered from myocarditis.

DOMINION FARLEY
 GETS UNDER WAY
British Representatives Holding
 Conference

London, Oct. 29.-tP-The Im- perial conference began its first business session this morning at 10 Downing street with a frank discus sion of foreign affairs-so frank, in tact, that 1t was held in camera.
 Sir Austen Chamberlain, the for eign secretary, was to make an ex- haustive review which, 1t is under stood, would be in part a defense of the Locarno treaty to which some of the Dominion delegates are op- posed.
 (The Locarno treaty binds Great Britain, in common with the other signatories, to guarantee mainten- ance of the territorial status quo as regards the frontiers between Bel gium, France and Germany. Article TX specifically states that the treaty shall impose no obligation upon any of the British Dominions, CT up- on India. unless the government of such dominion, or of India, signifies it's acceptance thereof.D
 ISNoS o HloNtVuillSS DL tllb COultT- ence were to be confined to Sir Austen's statements, and 1t was in timated that no part of it would be given out for publication. The premiers of the dominions will not make their statements on the subject of foreign affairs for several days.
 Premier Baldwin, in submitting to the conference his views on the naval policy of the empire said 1t was possible to have separate fleets in a United Empire but not without having a common foreign policy to determine the action of the forces in different parts of the empire. Creation of separate fleets would make 1t essential that the foreign policy of the empire be common policy.
 If it is to be a common policy" Premier Baldwin added, 'it is obvi- ously one on which the dominions must be taken into consideration, q policy which they must know, which they must understand, and which they must approve"
