Farm Calls Louder than
 Euer to City
Population Drift Back to Land Gained Head-
 way Last Year

WASHINGTON, July 28. - The call of the soil and other reasons drew 252,O00 more city folks to the farm this last year than moved to the city.
 Statistics made public by the Department of Agriculture showed that 1,471 900 persons left the farm for towns and cities and that l. 679,000 moved farmward.
 The farm population January l, 1882, was placed at 31 ,260000. com pared with 30,612, 900 at the begin ming of 1881. Births account for the increase over and above those moving back to the country.
 The Department described the increase as the largest and most significant" in the ten years that population oranges have been es- timated
 For seven years of the decade annual decreases were reported and only during 1880 and 1931 were appreciable gains indicated.

Ne,v Plot by Communists
 Is ReveaIed
Latest Propaganda Makes Attack on Banks
 Throughout Nation

CHICAGO, H., July 28-Authors of Communist propaganda which was found in a Pontiac, Michigan, hotel when the room of George Rowland was raided, are sought as directors of nationwide campaign against the confidence in banks of depositors.
 The Communists are blamed for a systematic attack on the integ- rity of banks in many cities in the Midwest.
 c. L. Smith, Prosecuting Attor- ney at Pontiac, claims the move ment is backed by Soviet Russia.
 William z. Foster, Communist candidate for President, denied in New York, that the organization is sponsoring a whispering campaign.
 Rowland, whose arrest has been ordered by the authorities, has not been located.
 The plot reveals that unknowns call up depositors and tell them the banks in which they have deposits, are unsound.

 The address is called tact less and inopportune in view of the fact that Germany signed the Lausanne agree ments and also adhered to the Anglo : French consultive pact.

Stars huisible Rays May
 Affect Heredity After All

Ionization is the breakup of an atom. It is also the way in which redium rays are believed to have created the new species recently in laboratories. In the species building the ionization broke up the atoms composing the gases. tiny living units which control heredity.
 Not Cutting Much Ice
 Dr. Arthur H. Compton of the University of Chicago, now con- oucting a worldwide series Of tests finds about 15 per cent more cosmic rays in temperate than in topic zones. But nowhere has science found enough cosmic rays to be really a big factor in her edity They are fewer than the radium rays naturally in the air and much less than the radium rays everywhere emanating from earth
 Scientists have speculated, how ever, as to whether there may have been periods in the remote past when cosmic rays fell more thickly. Both this speculation and this possibility that long ago there was more radium have been point ed out as interesting guesses upon the origin of new species of ani- mals and plants many millions of years ago.

NEW YORK. July 28.-A possi- bility that stars affect heredity slightly is shown in measurements of cosmic rays announced by two University of Denver physicists.
 Many scientists believe these invisible rays come from the stars. The Denver men, J. c. Stearns end Wilcox Overback, compared them with radium rays and found striking similarities.
 Heredity comes into the picture because one of the latest discov- cries of science shows that radium rays can affect heredity, even ere ating new species.
 The Denver scientists describe their experiments in letter to The Physical Review. They shield ed two-tenths of a miligram of radium-about as much as the point of a pin-within covering Of lead, a eentimeter thick.
 Measured Radium Rays
 Two meters away they set up sensitive meter to record both the faint radium rays Altering through the lead and the coSmic rays coming from the sky.
 With the radium at this first distance they found the cosnic ray effects were constantly equal to about one-third of the radium rays in the power of ionization.

 Not to- Initiate Any ! Revision

WASHINGTON, July 28.- Actual disarmament of Eur ope is demanded by Senator James E.. Watson, Republican of Indiana, as a preliminary to any world economic con- ference on war debts or re- paratiOns, such as has been proposed by Senator William K Borah, of Idaho.
 ''It is unthinkable that we should permit European na- tiOns to keep the money they owe the United States to en- able them to build up larger military e S ablishments on the continent, and as far as we can see, that is their plan, said Senator Watson.
 Ambassador Edge, in Paris, yesterday informed F r n oh Premier E q Ouard HerriOt, that the basis of cooperation between countries lies in dis armament.
 It is evident that the Ad- ministration is not going to take the initiative for a down. ward revision of war debts owed the United States and will demand a drastic Euro pean d i S r m a m ent as it's price.

Merriman was 28, good-looking cheery, optimistic and penniless, with a future even more hopeless, than her own, seeing that he had nothing beyond his personality to guarantee him a prominent place in the long line of candidates all of whom were waiting at the gate of the future, hoping for some thing good to turn up.
 John Anderson was rich, in- fluential and AT, and both men loved her.
 Neither of them had said so in so many words, for Anderson was married man, long separated from a wife who would not divorce him, and Merriman had nothing but his love to offer her.
 Merriman was not a sentiment talist who believed that little else mattered if only one loved well enough for he had been brought up in middle class poverty himself, and hated it only little less than Sondra hated it.
 He had watched his parents stint themselves almost of neces- sites in order to give him a good education, and then after half a dozen years of struggling to turn his fathers small but inefficient business firm into a paying con- cern, he had watched that father die, broken, disappointed man, and had found himself face to face with failure.
 He had been quite frank about 1t to Sondra.

WASHINGTON, July 28. - The four months of July, August, Sep tember and October will be high lighted and tense for four women of national interest-Mrs. Herbert Eoover, Mrs. Flanklin D. Roosevelt Mrs. Dolly Gam and Mrs. John N. Garner.
 November's second Tuesday will tell which two Hoover Gam or Roosevelt Garner, will be the cen ter of Washington's official social life for the next four years.
 Individually they are about as contrasting a foursome as could be found. Together they typify American life. And whether they sit at home or circulate when the campaign comes, each will be a factor in Presidential and Vice. Presidential fortunes.
