Two weeks ago football seemed

Along with the rest Of the fans, we
jerked our head out Of the box
scores this week to avidly scan re-

r being heralded- optimism is
rife. The slate Is clean and every
squad has an even break. Last
seasons record Is forgotten and
everyone has a new lease on life.
What brought Is up short on our
launches was the return Friday OF
Coaches Douglas Fessenden and
Raymond Plato, and FesSenden's
announcement that the Eagle squad
would hold its first practice session
at 4 p. m. Monday at Tucker field.
These events brought the football
situation to a head in a jiffy. From
a dead calm, the football season
leaped into instant reality. Some

CUSTOMS AGENTS
IN F0REICNLAN
TO BE INCREASED

WASHINGTON, July 10. W.D -
Special agents of the treasury de-
partment in Europe and the Orient
are being increased to prevent snug
Cling of narcotics and other contra
band and also to expand the govern
ment 3 facilities for valuation Of
foreign merchandise abroad, the
United Press learned today.
Additional agents are needed in
many European cities and in China,
especially, it was said at the treas
ury, to enlarge the custom bureaus
valuation staff and to obtain adj
vance information regarding at
tempted smuggling.
The seizure at San Francisco re-
Gently of 5000. tins of opium in the
baggage of Mrs. Ying Kao, wife OF
the Chinese vice consul there, was
based ON a report from special
agents in the Orient.
Inasmuch as baggage belonging 70
representatives of foreign govern.
ments is never searched at United
States ports unless the customs SER
vice has information that smuggling
is being attempted, the Importance
of an adequate foreign staff was
demonstrated by the case in which
the Chinese woman was involved.

Hoover Seeking
Data On Tariff

WASHINGTON, July 19. U.H -
President Hoover has requested the
tariff commission, the commerce de-

government to submit statistics rela-
tive to various tariff rates, it was
disclosed today at the White House.
Some of the rates in which the
President has interested himself to
this extent apply to commodities
produced in the Southern States, it
was added. but the inference that
Hoover sought the information pre-
paratory to taking hand in the
tariff revision struggle now under
way in the senate finance commit
tee, was discounted by White House
officials.
At the same time it was repeated
that President Hoover's attitude
toward the tariff bill was still that
outlined in his message to congress
on April Is, in which he suggested
"limited' revision touching chiefly
agricultural commodities and those
industrial products hardest hit by
foreign competition because of eco
nomic shifts since the 1922 tariff

THIRD DIMENSION
MOTION PICTURES
SHOWN in EAST

NEW YORK, July 10. WH -
Magma film, said to give the 'third
dimension to motion pictures, was
being discussed here today in terms
comparable to those accompanying
first exhibition Of the talking pie
lures by selected audience of 800
which viewed demonstration yes
terday.
The demonstration was given by
Paramount officials before an audi
ence of publishers, editors, bankers,
scientists and motion picture execu-
tives at the Rivoli theatre, where n
special screen 40 feet wide and 20
feet high had been erected.
Critics who saw the demonstration
said it proved that efforts of scien-
lists to develop commercial stereo-
scopic pictures were near compile

tention upon the center of the screen
and in so doing the other portions
of. he picture resolve themselves in
to the original planes occupied by
the characters or properties. The
