MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February IA
Ian Keith predicts that English will be
the Esperanto of the future.
The actor who sees a world drawn
together into one big English-speaking

talkie film is an optimist indeed
A good deal of the English spoken in

the Engl.Sh-Speaking person attending
performances. A recent talkie vehicle
which launched Lupe Velez into the
latest cinema medium sounded in its
early dialogue sequences very rnI'l like

hystericai when they realized that this
gaTbled result was all they were going
to have.
Song seems to be the focal point of
the talkie's interest, yet even the sing

And it Is impossible to put over a GER

Useful Plate Scraper.

A great help in the kitchen Is the
simple little plate scraper that costs
only 10 cents and can be found In any
and 10 cent store. 1t will remove
every bit of cake batter or whipped
cream which adheres to the bowl, or
soft grease or vegetable oils, some
of which remains In the utensils and

wasted. Besides, the clean-scraped
utensils are easier to wash.

One mother says:
On Valentines day, tell the children
that the heart of every one of them is
like a house in which there is room
for each person he loves dearly. Then,
/ suggest that each child draw, or trace,
a large heart upon piece of paper and
divide the heart into little spaces, or
rooms; then he may write in each room
the name of a person he loves. This
sometimes proves very interesting
revelation to mother.

MOVE FOR TARIFF
TRUCE ADVANCED
League Publishes Draft Con-
vention as Basis for
Negotiations.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 1.-THE League of
Nations move for tariff truce advanced
a stage yesterday with the publication
of draft convention as the basis for
negotiations at conference proposed
for early next year.
This proposed formula for an inter-
national agreement not to increase Gus
toms duties or add new duties during
the period of truce will be circulated to
both member and non member govern
ments. Replies are requested before the
January meeting of the League council
to enable that body to decide whether
1t is worth while holding the conference
It was the view of the economic COM
mittee, as set forth in the report con-
veying the draft, that 1.-The tariff truce
is designed to inaugurate an era OF
peace and stability during which col
lective agreements to facilitate inter-
national economic relations could be
worked out and negotiated"
Defines U. s. Sentiment.
At the beginning of the deliberations
of the committee Lucius Eastman
American business man. who Is a mem
Der, made 1t clear that in his opinion
American sentiment, while favorable to
any scheme encouraging European
prosperity without discrimination against
The United States, was disposed to re-
gard a tariff truce as matter for par
ticipation strictly by European states.
To insure that no country would take
advantage of the interval before the
truce is applied, the committee agreed
the convention should be retroactive
Fixing of the exact date was left to
decision by the proposed conference
but the committee suggested 1t should
be as OF october /, 1929, or as near
that date as possible. Duration of the
truce was also left to the conference to
determine.
Benefits Participants Only.
On further action the committee ex-
pressed itself thus:
Although convinced that the tariff
truce is only a preliminary stage OF
concerted action in which the contract
ing states will bind themselves to take
part later the economic committee does
not feel called upon to outline the prin-
ciples of that action. They will depend
on the results of the tariff truce con-
ference, the number, economic impor-
lance and treaty relations of states
taking part and on the policy dictated
to them by their grouping"
The draft convention provides that
it shall be applied for the benefit only
of countries becoming parties to it. The
committee, in drawing up the docu-
ment, recognized that special circum-
stances might arise in some contract
ing state and acknowledged that that
state would have 1.-The right to proceed
to tariff adjustments for the purpose OF
meeting grave emergencies affecting
the essential factors of its economic
life"

Friends Greeting
Mars Hold.up, as
Bandit Disappears

Arrival of an inquisitive friend
just when he was well on the
way toward completion of
highly lucrative hold-up proved
too embarrassing yesterday after
noon for a would-be colored
highwayman at the filling station
of A. l.. Creecy, Virginia avenue
and Third street southwest.
The inquisitive friends ques-
tioning as to his actions was just
too much for the highwayman,
and he absented himself from
that place in a hurry, leaving
several hundred dollars untouch-
ed in the cash register.
The young colored man ar
rived at the filling station with a
gun and demanded money.
Creecy was about to comply when
another colored man came up,
thought he recognized the man
with the gun and asked him
what he was doing. The man
with the gun pocketed the weapon
and left.

GERAN|UM POISON
SPELLS WATERLOO
TO BEETLE HORDE
More Than 5000 Japanese
Insect Invaders Accounted
for in Capital This Summer.
CASUALTIES REGARDED
AS INDEX TO NUMBERS
Chemical Obtained From Flowers
Fatal to Bugs, Reports Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The odor of geraniums is irresistible
TO the Japanese beetle.
When one of these big. bronze col
ored, destructive bugs gets a Whit OF
this fragrance, 1t loses all control OF
itself and proceeds to the source re-
Sardless of obstacles.
Thus more than 5000 of them fell
into the geraniol traps set about Wash
1ngton this Summer, it is announced
by the Department of Agriculture. Ge-
raniol is chemical obtained from ge-
ranium plants. whose chief characteristic
is its odor. The traps were set all over
downtown Washington. Many bugs
were captured in the White House
hedge, about the grounds of the De-
partment Of Agriculture and in the
Mall.
Index to Numbers.
A mere 5000 Japanese beetles doesn't
mean very much in itself. 1t gives
On index to the enormous numbers OF
these insects which are now in Wash
ington and gives the Agriculture De-
partment specialists an idea of where
to concentrate their efforts.
Three years ago single specimen OF
this insect was discovered by fortu-
nate accident in a Petworth garden
the first of its kind In Washington. II
probably had been brought in on an
automobile from the beetle-infeSted
area in New Jersey. An intensive search
of the neighborhood. including the
woods Of Soldiers Home Park, failed to
reveal any other specimens. although
there probably were one or two which
escaped notice.
The next year more were reported,
and soon the District was found in
tested with them. 1t was found neces-
sary to impose q quarantine on ship
Inents of nursery stock and garden
produce to protect the surrounding
countryside.
Enormous Increase.
While the geraniol traps are not ex-
pected to eliminate the beetles, accord
ing to Department of Agriculture spe-
cialists, every individual captured now
means a great many less a few years
hence, since they have an enormous
rate Of increase. The progeny of 5000,
If all lived, soon would amount to tril-
lions.
The japanese beetle is one of the
most difficult insects the Department
of Agriculture has encountered, be-
cause 1t feeds on practically all grow
ing things, from oak trees to straw
berries. 1t can be controlled effectively
by treating the soil of infested areas. sc
that crops are not greatly damaged, but
this is an expensive process.
During the past year the beetle has
Travelled fast and far. 1t has been dis
covered almost simultaneously near
Norfolk and in Providence, and the
quarantine administration now is con-
sidering extending the quarantine tc
these areas.
The chief hope of combating the jap
anese beetle lies in the introduction Of
a parasite, itself harmless, which will
feed upon them. For several years ex-
petitions have been in Japan and East
ern Asia seeking such a parasite, and
several have been introduced which may
cause havoc with the beetle hordes once
they become established.
