SERVICE 3 Cents a Copy; Rim. TODAY By ARTHUR BRISBANE 32,000 to One Another Little Lady Two Gun Bob Pity Poor China (Copyright, 1929) POLICE raided a birth control clinic In New York. The crime charged against the doctors and women was teaching mothers too sick or poor to take care of more children how to avoid having them. There was only one birth control clinic in New York. The police found it and closed it.

On the other hand, police authorities say there are 32,000 speakeasies in New York. No birth control taught In any of them, quite the contrary. Drunkenness is responsible for many undesirable births. The speakeasies are not raidecr. Perhaps the solitary birth control clinic didn't have any "good argument" to offer.

ANOTHER dear little lady stage star Is set free by a sympathetic jury. Government agents accused her of helping the sale of liquor, and consuming much of it herself. Struck to the heart by such cruelty, the little lady would not say a word, simply sat and wept. Did the New York jury turn her loose? Yes, indeed. Perhaps the admission by government agents that they spent public money in an effort to make a woman drunk impressed the jury unfavorably.

PORTES GIL, Mexico's president, seeks to stop gambling, worse than any vice except taking drugs. Automatic gambling machines brought from the United States have been ordered broken up because they represent a vicious pastime and are dishonestly built. Here, in racing, prize fighting, stock market, everything is done to encourage gambling. FRANCE withdrew an order ex eluding British and America tourists from Britain, unless they had been vaccinated within two months. That would shut out traveling money.

The city of Havre forbids entrance to unvaccinated tourists from England, "fearing a violent smallpox epidemic." That's exactly what every country would have if vaccination were abandoned.

The third was in his bed, trying to forget the sound of a shot he had heard as he ran away from the shack.

He denied having told High he killed Straway.

Continuing the investigation Instituted by Dr. W. H. Ammarell, deputy coroner, who pronounced Straway dead, Williamson and Arters were subjected to severe questioning by Assistant District Attorney Weiss, County Detective Tulley and Sergeant Keller of the state police from 4 o'clock Sunday morning to 2 o'clock (Turn to Page Ten) WINF mm riipal Are Long Faced Men Bald?

A bill introduced in the Missouri legislature would require farmers' wives to serve hot biscuits twice a day.

All right, folks, let's all make this wise crack together. Biscuits? Wives? Very well, here goes: There ought to be a clause in that law providing exemption for those who have not been farmers' wives at least one year.

It was confidently expected here, where the quietest week end since the revolution started was in prospect, that the Federal columns would move into Sonora early this week and be fore the week was over the revolution would be a thing of the past.

A man writes to a newspaper advising President Hoover that the strain of handshaking can be reduced by grabbing the other man's mitt first and shaking it cordially, rather than letting him grab yours.

I can't for the life of me think of an actor or an actress who got married or divorced the thirteenth time.

A baby 18 months' old appeared In court in England the other day smoking a briar pipe. The Item didn't say what it was In court for. Probably seeking a divorce, or don't you think so?

HOOVER DISASTER PREDICTS FARM PLAN President Declares Proposed Measure Would Lead Only To Profiteering WRITES SENATOR McNARY Letters from Mellon, Hyde and Commerce Department Are Attached to Document WASHINGTON, April 21 P) President Hoover, In a letter sent today to Chairman McNary, of th senate agriculture committee, said he was convinced the export debenture plan of farm relief under consideration by that committee "would bring disaster to the American farmer." He presented 10 specific reasons upon which he predicated an expressed belief the theoretical benefits would not be reflected to the farmers; that the debenture plan would lead to profiteering by speculators and others as well as overproduction of the affected 'commodities, thus adding to the difficulties from which the farmers now suffer from that cause.

rian Approved by Grange Finally, he said the introduction of such a plan would "inevitably confuse and minimize the much more far reaching plan of farm relief, upon the fundamental principles of which there has been general agreement." x' Attached to the president's letter were communications from Secretaries Mellon and Hyde and the Commerce Department which conv' demned the plan in almost as vigorous languages as that employed' by the chief executive and upon which Hoover based most of his own conclusions that the plan put forward by the national grange is dangerous as well as uneconomical. Senator McNary has called his committee to meet In special session at 10 a. m. tomorrow to consider the communications and there is conjecture as what action the committee will take since it decided last week to report the debenture plan irrespective of what views the chief executive might express. Democrats Hold Control An unofficial poll of the committee tonight disclosed six for the plan and six against with the deciding votes in the hands of two Democrats.

Smith of South Carolina, and Thomas of Oklahoma, and the one Farmer Labor member of the senate, Shipstead of Minnesota. Even should the committee decide to report the measure back with the provision authorizing the Federal Farm board to put the debenture plan into operation upon application of one or more farmers' cooperatives, administration leaders believe the senate will reject it In view of the strong opposition of President Hoover. The house will resume considera tion of Its own measure which does not Include a debenture plan tomorrow under the five minutes' rule for amendments and under a program calling for its passage on Wednesday. Debate also begins tomorrow in the senate, but with a vote apparently several weeks away. FLEES FROM POLICE, PLUNGES TO DEATH Eluding Pursuit, Man Falls Six Floors from Roof NEW YORK.
