DEBENTUREB|LL
IS REVIVED

The battered export debenture
plan of farm relief, twice de-
feated as part Of the farm relief
and tariff bills. returned to the
Senate today, introduced by
Democrats denouncing the new
tariff laws.
Sponsored by Senator Connally
CD of Texas, the plan was pro-
posed as an emergency measure
for the Federal Farm Board. The
bill would authorize the Farm
Board to employ the debentuIe
in times Of severe agricultural
depression.
It came as the eliminating
blow in q series Of Democratic
onsIaughtS on the tariff laws,
which Connally, Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, and others,
charged were the cause Of recent
new low prices for cotton ard
wheat.
The Connally proposal was re
ferred to the Senate Agriculture
Committee and little hope was
held out for action on 1t during
the present session.

Dirt Diet
Many Races in All Parts
of World Like to Eat
Mud Pies.

CHICAGo, Oct. 22.-The mud
" pies that children often make
could be eaten with enjoyment by
many adult persons in various
parts of the world, according ITO
facts revealed by "Geophagy,"
book by DR.. Berthold Laufer, Gu
rator of anthology at Field Mu-
scum of Natural History.
DR.. Laufer has made extensive
research in geophagy, which is the
practice of eating clay, loan and
other types Of soil, and has pub
lished the results Of his studies
throughout many countries in
both ancient and modern times.
His Investigations began with rec
ords of earth eating in China.
Traces of the custom have been
found in Indo-China, Malaysia,
Polynesia, Melenesia, Australia,
India, Burma, Siam, Central Asia,
Siberia, Persia, Arabia, Africa, Eu-
rope, North America, Mexico, Cen
trail America and South America.
AS a rule not every kind of
earth is eaten, says DR.. Laufer,
but only those kinds which rec
ommend themselves through GER
tain qualities of color, odor, flavor,
softness and Elasticity.
Geophagy occurs among the
most civilized nations as we'll as
among primitive tribes. It bears
no relation to climate, race, creed
or culture. It is a habit that oc-
ours among individuals and not
among any particular tribal, or
social group.
The women of Spain, says DR..
Laufer, once believed the eating
of earth was an aid to delicate
complexion and the ladies of the
Spanish aristocracy in the seven
tenth century had such a pas
sion for geophagy that the eccle-
static and secular authorities took
steps to combat the evil.
