INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE TO
 RESCUE COTTON
Egypt Sent the Sugges- ton = Meanwhile Gov Longs Proposal to Stop Growing Is Before South

Washington. Aug 2s.-UP)-- (UP)-An international effort to aid the depressed cotton industry was suggested while consideration of various domestic measures moved forward to-day.
 Through the state department came reports that the Egyptian government had suggested an in. ternational conference to study the problem of overproduction. A letter formally proposing such a conference was said to be enroute from Cairo. Egypt is a large producer of long staple cotton. Governor Huey Longs drastic bill to forbid all cotton produc tion next year was ready for ac. tion by the Louisiana senate a, Baton Rouge. It was passed yes. terday by the lower house. The measure requires participation o1 three-fourth of cotton states.
 Another plan for restriction oi production was to be discussed to. day with the farm board by a group of southern senators. This plan. devised by Senator George dem, Ga, calls on the board to pay 12 cents a pound for this years crop to farmers who will agree not to plant any cotton next season George invited senators from nine states to join him in conulting the farm board.
 The bill to prohibit raising of cotton in Louisiana in 1892 had unanimous approval of the state house of representatives and o1 the senate comittee on agriculture Final adoption of the measure was expected by midnight wher both houses complete the work foi which they were called into specia session at Baton Rouge, Monday night.
 A strenuous campaign has beer inaugurated by Governor Huey P Long, to win favor for the plan ir other states. The governor wa, reported considering a 15-day tour of the cotton growing states to speak on benefits of the plan which he launched at an all-soutk conference in New Orleans a week ago.
 Louisiana, the most conserva. tive state in the union. has set the example by adopting the only en. forceable, the only constitutions plan for saving farmers" the gov. ernor said. This plan must be adopted or cotton will fall to three or four cents a pound.
 If other states will follow oui lead we will have 15 10 20 cent cotton in two weeks and farmers will make more money for this years crop than they would fol this and the next three put to. gether."

Charles Farrell Had
 Ambition For Ring
By CHARLES FARRELL

Hollywood, Call might have been a prize fighter and I might have been a sailor If I hadn't be- come an actor.
 Perhaps that sounds out of place for a chap who majored in applied psychology in college-but why not tell the truth.
 like physical combat. like to sail a boat in stormy weather. like to box although in this busi- ness of motion picture acting it is necessary to protect the profile as much as possible. A broken nose or jaw might hold up production for weeks and cost the company a fortune. It might also cost Charles Farrell his career. So when I work out at the athletic club it's my bus mess to duck all blows.
 My first serious thought, while in college, was to engage in some kind of work that would enable me to earn considerable money quickly so that I could enjoy life and do whatever I desired while still young. Perhaps that's how ] happened to consider boxing as a career. I was on the college box ihb tCohi eli0 WAith DootOti universally I weighed 180 pounds and was tall. Big fellows who can take as well as give were getting large purses then just as they are now.
 Had I taken up fighting as a career, there's no doubt that would have lived in very differ ent world. I might have been very successful an dagain l might have been 8 dismal failure. And there is the chance that l might have had all my fight notions knocked out of my head the first time I ran up against even a recond rate heavyweight.
 Anyway, I'm glad things have turned out as they have. I hesi- tated considerably before choosing a career because my mother, while not directly asking me not to enter the prize ring. pleaded with me to seek some other field of endeavor. Then l got chance to cross the country as financial agent and property man for a vaudeville act In Hollywood l sought to satisfy a longing to experience one day as movie extra. I did and the movie bug bit me so hard that ] stayed right here.
 AS for that sailor business well. l still hope to do 8 great deal of it. chiefly as passenger.
