LIFE FOR A PINT
 LAW IN MICHIGAN
Habitual Criminal Code Applied
 to Prohibition Offenders

Lansing. Mich, Feb. IS @ - The subject of much public comment, both favorable and adverse, Michi- gan's crime code with its habitual criminal clause has become the ve- hicle of some sharp words on the floor of the state legislature and be- tween Gov. Fred w. Green and the Rev. R. N. Holsaple, superintendent of the state anti-saloon league.
 Governor Green and the admin istration forces in the legislature are determined that the habitual criminal clause shall be modified so that the possession of a pint of gin shall not be classified as a felony. for which upon fourth conviction a man or woman must be sent to pris- on for life. MT. Holsaple, on the other hand, is exerting every effort 10 f-ve violations of the prohibition law retained as one of the felonies to be counted in prosecutions under the habitual criminal act.
 The legislature now has before it amendments that will strike more than 200 offenses from the list of felonies now include in the habitual section by providing that a fourth conviction must be for q crime de- manding a maximum penalty of not less than five years for a first of fense, if life sentence is to be im- posed.
 ''The bootlcgger and the moon- shiner," says Mir. Holsaple, with supreme contempt for the law. not only corrupt society, but leave their victims or patrons in weakened all poisoned condition. They are poten- tial murderers."
 Voicing his determination to have the habitual section of the law Governor Green said that some members of the legislature have complained they did not realize

KURDS AGAIN TAKE
 ID PATHS 0f WAR
Mlraudin8 Bands HarassA As-
 syriaB Almost 5000 Years Ago

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 15-The Kurds are revolting again. A Turk ish newspaper man perhaps would change the word again" in that sentence to "yet."
 Nearly 5000 years ago. outlying Assyrian settlements were harassed by marauding bands of Kurds and in the fifth century B. c. the tribes men attempted to annihilate Xeno- phon and his 10000 retreating Greeks by rolling stones from high cliffs along the line of march, says . bulletin from the Washington, D.. c. headquarters of the National Geographic Society. 'In the mean time, the Armenians who entered Kurd territory were either massa- cred or driven from the country.
 Tukish Changes Offend
 'In spite of exciting events in the fighting history of the kurds, the tribesmen were almost unknown outside the Near East before the World War. When delegation of kurds appeared at the Peace con- ference in 1919 newspapermcn did rot know who the sunburnt tribes men might be. When their identity was revealed the kurds went on the front pages and frequently have been there since.
 -Four years ago the tribesmen revolted in an attempt to set up their own government. but Musta- pha kemal's forces subdued them. The scrapping of the Calipna>a at Constantinople aroused them and nearly every change in old Moslem customs has irritated them. Revolt after revolt has been quelled but as soon as the kurd replenishes his forces and supplies, he is ready to attack again.
 Maintain Old Racial Customs
 Most of the 10000 Kurds in the Near East inhabit the eastern areas of Turkey. but tribes also are scattered over the northern part of Iraq and western Persia. Neither the Turks nor any other people has influenced the trbesmen. Now anl then kurd will light his cigarette with patent lighter instead of the old flint stone he once carried. and a few other modern devices have crept into his mountain village. but the close tribal life maintains the old racial customs
 The kurd farmers of the Irao plains are more prosperous than the trlbesmen of the hill country. Tray- elers climb the trails Of Kurdistan for miles without seeing a village. when one does appear. it is usual ly situated in a well protected spot.

FULL SPEED AHEAD
 S7IMS0N'S MOTTO
Possible Cabinet Officer Has Led
 Eatrgeic Life

Washington, Feb. IS CP-Politi- cal lightning outdid itself in the un- expected when it played its spot il- lumination on Henry L. Stinson as possible dean of the Hoover cabinet.
 Lawyer, soldier, war secretary. revolution subduer and insular chief executive. the New Yorker has a wide range of public activities and accomplishments to his credit. There is little about his record, however. to suggest the state department portfolio as his destiny.
 Yet there is this to be said of Henry Stinson. Any man who could plunge into New York city life in 1901 as SIS law clerk and emerge a decade later as secretary of war. surrendering lucrative private practice. is a man to be reckoned with all the time.
 Between times, the quiet man. nered, scholarly looking Stimson had developed his law clerkship into membership in the firm of Root X Clarke, headed by Elihu Root. He had become a federal district attor- ney and driven ,v ruthless conclu- sion such widely remembered cases as the sugar rebate trials and the Morse case.
 He had been republican nominee for governor and had been beaten bv Dix. Theodore Roosevelt figuring in that campaign. He had met and won the respect of Taft. which brought him the war portfolio m l911.'
 To a large degree. Stimson dis appeared from the theater Of pub lie events when his cabinet service ended. His largest public ehort na- tionally in this period was touring the middle west in behalf ot the military and naval preparedness campaign in 1916.
 Stimson said of himself. when the United States entered the war, that having talked such lot about pat tie. he ought to do little fighting. He tried to, as an enlisted man. But the former war secretary was denied admission to the ranks as too o1d. That drove him to commission as colonel of an artillery regiment, ana as thus he served in France.
 The determination of President Coolidge to send Stimson to settle the Nicaraguan row in 1927 was en- tjrely unexpected. It has never been disclosed just how his name came up in connection with Nlca- ragua.
 Having been assigned the Central American job, however, Stimson moved with speed and ended the civil war within a week.
 Yet that was not a diplomatic triumph, administration critics in the senate have held. Stmson told both sides to stop fighting and disarm, pending an American supervised presidential election. And to back that up, he told the liberals to take their choice, disarm or be disarmed hy Uncle Sam's marines. That ul- timatum, the senate critics shout. .avored more of war department than state department diplomacy.
 Be that as 1t may, Stfmson did the job. And if President Hoover turns over to this New York lawyer state department problems pending when March 1 rolls around, that is the way Stimson's friends expect him to tackle them. His motto seems to be full speed ahead. no matter what kind of job he's working on.

/ vide excellent entertainment in the
Fox Movietone Follies of 1929
which viii be shown for the last
times tonight at Fox Imperial Air
dome
Two large crowds saw the per
formances last night and many left
the Airdome whistling the delightful
tunes heard in the half dozen real
song hits, or chuckling at the humor-
Gus situations. most of which center
around Stepin Fetchit, the gigantic
and clever negro comedian.
Gorgeous costumes and equally
gorgeous stage settings add much to
the delights of the ''Follies.' - Par
ticularly effective were the costumes
and settings in an undersea scene,
colored effects beng used.
A delightful little romance, all of
which takes place back stage during
the premier of a stage production,
holds the Follies' together with
a slight semblance of plot.
BABY is "a particularly effec-
tive song number, while Break
Away is a lively dance tune with
a flock of new steps eleverly exc
cuted By the chorus. 1t is safe to
say that Imperial Valley Juveniles
win soon be dancing them.
There is a whole galaxy of stars in
the Follies' but Sue Carol and
Stepin Fetehit easily steal the show.

pie of what can be done with the
