POLICE CHIEFS TO MAP
DRIVE ON KIDNAPERS
Racketeering Chief Topic At World
Convention in Chicago.


CHICAGO. July 31.-The men di-
rectly responsible for law enforce
ment in hundreds of cities in the
United States. Canada and Europe
assembled today for the fortieth an
nual convention of the International
Association Of Police Chiefs.
Meeting at time when kidnap-
ings and racketeering occupy a front
line position in criminal activities.
deliberations on methods of combat
ing these evils dominate the meet
ing.
Significance was added to the con-
vention by the fact that it came two
days after formation of the Inter
national World Police. The world
group was drawn up by fifty police
heads of this country and Europe
with cooperation of police of diff
ferent nations as its goal. Commits
sioner James S. Bolan of New York
was elected president.

mission from interfering in the
construction of a tea house on

Mrs. Nicholson said that sew

DR.. HUGENBERG
CUSTER NEAR

BERLIN, June 19 U.N.S).-
The first serious break in the
cabinet of Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter threatened today, with in
creasing indications that DR.. Al
fred Hugenberg, minister of eco
nomicS and agriculture, would be
obliged to resign.
The chancellor, it was learned,
is furious over the memorandum
handed to the world economic
conference by Hugenberg last
week, in which he demanded the
world recognize Germany's right
to colonial expansion.
Mindful of the status of world
opinion regarding Nazi Germany,
Hitler gave the German delega-
ton specific instructions before
it left Berlin for London to re-
main in the background. The
delegates we're enjoined from do
ing anything or saying anything
likely to give the slightest cause
for alarm.
Hugenberg's startling bid for
the recreation of a German CO.
lonial empire in Africa or else
where led to an immediate and
heated rejoiner from Soviet
Russia. At length, the German
delegation was forced to dis
claim responsibility for the mem
orandum. stating Hugenberg made
it without authority and on his
own personal responsibility.

MISS KIBBEY

Business in Montgomery county
has begun to improve, according
to o. w. Anderson, county agent.
Mr.. Anderson, who Is secretary
of the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce, said the attitude of the
public in general seems better and
the merchants report increased
sales, added confidence coming
with the spending of more money.
The farmers, however, have had
no chance as yet to share in the
benefits from the upturn. Only
the wool growers are reaping har.
vests. They have sold wool by
pooling it, 800 per cent higher
than last year. with two-thirds of
the crop yet to be sold.
The dairymen are harder hit.
There has been little, if any, in
creases in their basic rate. while
grain, which they have to use,
costs them more. Other farmers
have not had much chance yet TO
find out what the future holds for
them since none of their crops are
ready, Mr.. Anderson said.

Back in her mind I suspect is a
feeling that she can regain lost
glories and that Pickford again
will reign as undisputed Queen of
the Movies. Can she capture the
rainbow?
Secrets" is the best picture she
has turned out since the advent
Of sound and her best with the
new technique. The significant
thing to me in watching this pic
ture was that the most effective
and beautifully acted sequences in
this story of melodrama and
sentiment were when Mary Pick
ford was torn to shreds emotion
ally by the death of her baby
and these scenes were in pan
tomime, without dialogue. There
was trace of the Mary Pickford
of the short dress and slender
legs era, of the actress with
gifted expressions who never had
to bother about a dangling micro
phone. She is still stumped a bit
with speech.
Can Mary Pickford at 40 1e-
gain her lost throne? She has a
chance now that the curls have
gone and she has definitely de-
cided to grow up. She is a very
pretty woman and a very talented
one. But she is no longer Polly
anna. Secrets" offers the type
of role she can handle grace
fully. I am quite sure it will
satisfy those loyal Pickford fol-
lowers who prefer to regard her
as the greatest screen actress of
all time.
Secrets" comes to the Fox,
May 10.
For the life of me can't un-
derstand why Hollywood picks
some stories. Such yarns as Will
liam Faulkner's Sanctuary, ;"
which revised by Paramount, is
called THE Story of Temple
Drake" I read it through and
became convinced that either
somebody with an awful pull had
sold this story for pictures or
somebody incredibly stupid dis
cerned screen value not apparent
to a normal critic. It is all about
dirty minded, sordid, low-down,
cheap and degenerate folks and
whatever merit rests in the writ
