the coffee yalorization scheme Of Brazil,

Federal Farm Board. None of these
schemes succeeded. None CT them could
succeed so long as production outstrip-

Baxter Aids Janet
What about Janet Gaynor as
Judy Abbott? 1t seemed to me
that Charlie Farrell makes bet
ter screen sweetheart for oiminu-
tive Janet than Warner Baxter. I
concede Mr.. Baxter's superiority
as an actor, but l doubt whether
the multitude will find him as,
agreeable a screen compaion for
la petite Gaynor as the more
juvenile and less expert Mr.. Far
rell.
The story has been modernized
to some extent, but its flagrant
attack upon the heart strings is
still impressive and positive. If
you are looking for a picture far
removed from the gangster cycle
put Daddy Long Legs" On your
list. You may find the orphan
age scenes a little Saccharlne, and
obviously staged, and overflav-
ored by a Singers midget, but in
the end the irresistible longing
to give your sympathy to kids who
deserve a better chance will find
a reluctant tear rolling down your
cheek. Not a great Gaynor pic
ture, but AL nevertheless.

BY ROSS DOWNING
United Press Stan Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, July 8.-Wil-
l. liam Dugan has experienced
something akin death-a nine
hours dreamlesS sleep on bound
less ether as he expresses it-and
is alive to describe the sensations
the mystery of which has in
trigued mankind through the CEN
turtles.
The 27-year-old engineer whose
boat overturned near Laurel
Springs, N. j., and who to all out
ward appearances was drowned,
was resuScitated after nine hours
by doctors who refused to believe
he was dead.
And during those nine hours
Dugan,s life "hoated" through
that sphere that hangs between
life and the hereafter only to be
brought back to reality by his
mothers voice demanding him to
do something"
A T his home today, a bit
IA hoarse from the water he
swallowed, he told of the sensa-
tons of death as he experienced
them and of that urge of life
which bid his small spark of vital
ity to respond to treatments of
doctors.

DEBT HOLIDAY
May BRING ON
ARMS SLASH
New Sense of World Unity
Expected to Be Born
of Moratorium.
NAVAL PACT IMPORTANT
Softening Of World War
HatredS to Depend on
Italy, France.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press stan Correspondenl

WASHINGTON, July IA new
sense of world unity, a quickened
desire to reduce ornaments, and a
Boftening Of Europe's postwar
hatreds are some Of the benefits
that administration officials expect
from President Herbert Hoover's
war debt holiday.
Whether these expectations can
be realized will depend, 1t appears,
on the amount of international
goodwill engenedered by European
conferences this summer, notably
that in London.
To sell Europe the idea of dis
arming and adjusting its economic
burdens more satisfactorily, the ad-
ninistration has two statesmen"
abroad-Henry L. Stimson, secretary
of state, and Andrew Mellon, secre-
tary Of treasury.
Melons task is almost completed
The 76-year-old financier persuaded
France to accept Hoover's debt holi-
day program. Details still are to be
settled at an experts meeting in
which the United States will take
part only il asked.
Stimson's work lies before him.
He now is in italy. From there he
will go to France, then to Germany,
and finally to Great Britain. His
job is to sound out prospects for a
genuine disarmament conference
next February.
In the view of officials here, the
most formidable single obstacle to
disarmament in Europe is the
Franco Italian naval dispute. Fail
ure to solve it last winter was
blamed on technical misunder-
standings" But informed officials
say the real difficulty was political
GOODNESS. They believe the technical
problems raised by France could be
settled overnight. 1t is considered
likely that while StimSon is in Rome
and Paris he will see what can be
done to bring France and Italy to
terms.

day when two women will take
over the job of aiding in keeping
peace and quiet in the business
district.
Today Police Chief Mike Morris
sey announced assignment of Mrs.
Mary Moore of the accident pre-
vention department and Mrs. Anna
Drummer of the traffic department
as beat-walking patrolwomen.
The duo will join other police
women in their duties. Morrissey
said the shift, "for the good of the
department." will find them pa
trolling districts between the Union
station and st. Clair street and
Capitol avenue and East street.
So law violators will learn the
clicking of heels is as menacing as
nightstick and the whine of a
siren.
