NEW YORK, March 30.--Once and
again the members Of society start .
revolt against excessive demands OF
social activity, demands which bid fair
to eliminate sleep among those who
have any other objects in life beside
dancing and entertainments. Now the
crusade is under way against tardy par
ties which are scheduled to begin at ~
o'clock, but do not become o fact until
midnight and end after sun-up.
OF course, the langtlid deputante who
calls from the recesses Of her houdoir
during the afternoon for chocolate, or
something more exhilarating, has no
objection to the late hours, but the
young man Of affairs finds 1t impossible
to reconcile business with pleasure ur-
der the circumstances. Even the most
robust needs rest occasionally and most
Of these find that changing from eves
ming clothes to tweeds with an interval
for q shower and coffee has its limita-
tons. So the revolt has gained recruits

LORD PARMOOR AFFIRMS

Tells House of Lords of Plan in De- bate Over Lord Lloyd's
 Resignation Recently
Resignation Recently

London, July 25 P>-During de- bate today in the house of lords on Lord Lloyd's resignation as high commissioner in Egypt, announced yesterday, Lord Parmoor reaffirmed the labor policy of the 1924 govern ment towards Egypt.
 Dealing with Egypt's internal af- fairs, he said, the laborites had all ways desired, while reserving certain points such as international ques- tions and the Sudan, that arrange ments should be made which would enable Egypt to become an inde- pendent sovereign country as re- gards it's internal affairs.
 Lord Parmoor, who is lord presi- dent of the council, denied there was any discourtesy extended to- ward Lord Lloyd and stated that all members of the government re- gretted the high commissioner had found it conscientiously necessary to resign his position.
 Regarding a suggestion that the resignation had been provoked, Lord Parmoor said he wished to make it as clear as he possibly could that if Lord Lloyd had any view of that kind, such charge was altogether incorrect

 ton Of Kellogg Pact

Washington, July o5 Rt-Calvin Coolidge was en route back to his home at Northampton, Mass. to- day, by way of New York, after his first visit to the capital since he relinquished the presidency last March.
 He was pleased over his visit proud of the occasion which brought him here-the proclamation of the Kellogg -Briand treaty for the re- nunciation of war-and delighted 10 meet again many old friends who were close to him during his administration.
 Glad Work Over
 He was. greatly relieved mot to have 10 assume the duties of office while I am here" and. because of that, perhaps, less reticent-far less reticent-with newspaper cor respondents than was his custom to be while president.
 In one of the most intimate in tervieWs he has ever given. he Com- mented on the White House cere- mony at which the anti-war treaty was proclaimed in effect as being

particularly impressive and one fitting in every way the worldwide importance of the occasion"
 T look on it as a great histori- cal event, perhaps of even more importance than we now realize" ," he remarked.
 Mentioning his pleasure over re- newing his friendship with Frank B. Kellogg, who, as his secretary of state, had a leading part in bring ing the anti-war treaty into being. the former president said he was glad to congratulate him on the successful outcome of some of the things he and l were working on which had not been completed when I retired from office"
 Showed Kellogg's Wisdom
 Tt showed the wisdom of the position he had taken" Mr. Coo- lidge observed.
 Among those things, he mention- ed the "very much better condition of affairs in Mexico and settlement of the long standing Tacna-Arica controversy between Chile and Peru.
 He also expressed delight "to see the large surplus that remained in the treasury at the end of the last fiscal year, which was substantially the last fiscal year of my adminis- tration."
 It was "a complete demonstration of the prosperity that abounded In the country" he felt, and expressed his qualification that "the country seems to be in very good shape"

DAVIS COUNSEL IN
 MACINTOSH CASE
Former Presidential Candidate to Represent Yale Teacher

New Haven, July 25. (UP)-John w.. Davis of New York. democratic candidate for president in 1924, will represent Prof. Douglas c. MacIn- tosh in the Yale divinity teachers battle to obtain United States citi- zenship, it was learned today.
 Davis, it was understood, will give his services free in view of the prin- ciples for which Macintosh is fight ing.
 The white haired Canadian War chaplain, who was decorated by the brltlsh crown for bravery, was denied citizenship in federal court here when he refused to swear to bear arms in any or all wars of this na- ton.
 Prof Macintosh said Davis, a member of the law firm of Davis, Polk, Wardwell Gardner & Reid, will present his appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals at New York, probably this fall, and if defeated will carry the case to the supreme court Dean Charles E. Clark of Yale Law school will be as- sociated with the professors coun- sel.
 The theologian declined to com- ment on resolutions passed by an American Legion post questioning his fitness to teach American youth or to elaborate on his previous state ment of views in which he denied he was a pacifist and asserted his duty to God not to pledge himself to engage in conflicts which he might believe justified.

About 40 full length plays and 50 one-act plays will be broadcast dur ing this period, Doctor Per Lind berg, the new director of radio dramatic department of the Swedish broadcasting organization, indioatad in press interview.
 Plans for the season have not yet been completed, but the general scheme is ready" he said.
 Tt envisages the broadcasting Of one big drama every month which should be of great actual interest and reflect the current trend of the time. Besides this. we intend to in clude in our monthly program an- other piece of the same length deal ing with other subjects. further popular comedy, a musical comedy and four or five one-act plays"
 'There is no want of such plays" Doctor Lindberg continued. reply ing to a question which had sug- gested the apprehension that after short time the radio theater would lack material.
 T have made a rough survey of suitable plays and found that there exist and are constantly being pro- duced more plays suited to our pur- pose than we could possibly play during one year.
 English German French. Fin nish. Russian and Italian play wrights alone would provide us with sufficient material In addition wc have the Swedish"

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR
Chapter 1G

Three o'clock found Barbara and Henderson sitting in the back par for of the Blue Boar Inn, to which tho last clue had led them. Both had the appearance of being some- what dejected as they sat in the stiff upright chairs of the stuffy parlor. Any of the others been here yet?" Henderson demanded of the fat, good-natured proprietor.
 No sir. none as vet, sir"
 He placed two triple gins before them and, at the same time. handed them the final clue
 What is it?" Barbara asked.
 Henderson was looking at it in amazement
 "A crossword puzzle - imagine having to work out crossword puzzle at this hour of the morn ing"
 He went on grumbling to himself as he bent over it. and Barbara, too tired to sit still, wandered around the little room, amazed at the collection of stuffed birds and foxes and shell gaskets that were carefully preserved behind glass faced cases.
 Presently he threw his pencil down with a satisfied sigh.
 It's done-like to have a look at it?"
 And he showed her the puzzle and the following solution he had worked out.
 THE PUZZLE
New Britain herald., 1929-10-17

You sec, knowing the country around here helped me lot,' he confessed. "Trow Abbey is @ fa- nous old ruin in these parts and l happen to know the tombstone of Thora Davy. l take it that the treasures hidden there. Now for our drinks-we're earned 'em."
 Barbara eyed hers distrustfully
 "Hendy--I don't think I'd better" |"
 What rot. A good stiff drink will do you good.'
 She shrugged and picked up the glass, studying it absent -mindedly. What did it matter anyhow?
 A sense of depression had set tied over her and she was furious with herself that this should be so. Hadn't she determined to be gay that night and forget-everything?
 The trouble, of course, was Ray She had begun thinking of him again, doubting, worrying, If only he had written her, tele- phoned her made her under stand his absence. She felt she could have forgiven him then. She pulled herself up sharply. If Ray cared as little as he appeared to- why should she nope around for him.
 Suddenly, with an air of resolu ton, she empticd the glass with a Gulp.
 Bravo" murmured Henderson.
 She grinned at him foolishly conscious of a giddy feeling creep ing up into her brain. She saw q stuffed bird in the corner webbing perilously on it's pedestal as though it contemplated taking flight. Her own legs. seemed reluctant to obey the diCtation of her mind
 Lets get out into the air" she articulated with difficulty, and Hen derson smiled to himself as, with his arm through hers, he led her
