WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION D. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 18-Day Diet Blamed |For Heavy Loss to American Farmers {Eat Normally and Restore Agricultural Prosperity Is Bakers’ Advice. | By the Ascociated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September 22.—Hollywood's 18-day diet, adopted ardently by pound-conscious women— and men—all over the country, cost the American farmer “several million dollars,” Harry Stude, president of the American bakers, declared today before the international conference of the bak- | ing industry. “Fifty per cent of the people are on a self-imposed diet from a self-diag- | nosed ailment, 80 per cent of which is | that tired feeling produced by a lack of sufficient food,” Stude asserted. “Both Mr. Hoover and Mr. Coolidge have suggested going back to work as a help in the present business depres- sion. If we could go back to eating we might have the strength and the will to go to work. “Half the population is on a diet. Our whole social and industrial de- velopment is toward a lessened food consumption. We have turned from the joy of eating to the pride of fast- ing. Most of us tell our weight and display our diet list. “This industry went on record un- equivocally in favor of the Farm Board, and it still is. The way to help the farmer is to help consume the food he raises, and we are not doing that. “A return to normalcy in eating would hasten a return to normaley for the farmer.” MAPES WILL GALL Russians to Be Called.

MERION CRICKET CLUB, Ardmore, Pa., September 22.—Starting his final battle to sweep the golf boards for 1930, Bobby Jones shot a brilliant 69, one under par, to take the lead in the first 18 holes of the 36-hole qualifying play for the National Amateur Golf championship today. Jones took the lead away from 19- year-old Sidney W. Noyes, Yale fresh- man, who carded a sensational 38—32—70, even par. The triple champion was in fine form and experienced trouble only on four holes. Twice he was in traps and twice in the rough, but recovered sensation- ally. He was over par on only one hole, the 378-yard eleventh, where his drive found deep rough and he failed to find the green wif second. He offset this with birdies on the tenth and thirteenth, sinking putts of 24 and 12 feet respectively. On five other greens Jones lipped the cup with long putts, otherwise he would have administered a fine beating to old man par. Chances of Stars Imperiled. The Merion course lost no time tak- ing a heavy toll among the competitors, Jeopardizing the qualifying chances of stars such as Jesse Sweewer and Cyril Touenyc,l flu well as the rank outsiders in e Scores in the eighties were posted by the dozen as the combination of some- what soft turf, water hazards, traps and 13 out-of-bounds opportunities exacted penalties.

The fourth, the longest hole of the course, 595 yards, yielded Bob another Fll’ 5, his putt for a birdie from 30 feet missing by one revolution of the ball. Jones' drive was in rough to the left. He played a No. 4 iron to rough on the other side, but pitched on easily. On this hole Stratton was well 1inside Bobby on his approach. Jones hit a long drive close to a creek at the fifth and his second was on the green 40 feet from the cup. Again his putt was just a trifie off and he scored a par 4. Barely on With Second. ‘The drives were 3 feet apart at the sixth, with Jones away for the first time. Bob was barely on with his second, but sent an approach putt from 60 feet to within 3 feet of the cup and holed the putt for a par 4. Another simple par 4 was scored at the seventh, where Jones drove, pitched and putted close to the cup as usual. Jones drove to within 50 yards of the 350-yard eighth and with a niblick placed the ball 9 feet from the cup. His first putt again stayed out and he bagged another par 4.

TIENTSIN'S SEIZURE Manchurian War Lord’s Mo- tive in Taking City Not Clearly Revealed. By the Assoclatcd Press. PEIPING, China, September 22.—A 30-year-old adventurer, son of one of China's most widely known adventur- ers, upset the political applecart today and stage-managed a situation from which observers predicted he would emerge the greatest profiter. ‘The new youthful figure in the blood- soaked Chinese arena is Chang Hsueh- Liang, son of the old Manchurian war lord, Chang Tso Lin, and himself now governor of Manchuria, professing loyalty to Nanking and the Nationalist government there but with his sym- pathies actually in doubt.

By the Associated Press. Predictions by Senator Walsh of Mas- sachusetts of early disturbances in Cuba brought the comment today from Joseph P. Cotton, Acting Secretary, that the State Department had no “information which would substantiate a feeling of alarm over conditions in that republic. Harry F. Guggenheim, Ambassador to Havana, discussed the situation in Cuba In detail with Secretary Stimson and Mr. Cotton last week. The Acting Sec- retary said today the Ambassador shared the views of officials here that conditions did not call for action by this Government. In his statement, Walsh called for exertion of American governmental in- ‘uence to guard against conditions which he said he found “feeding the flames of revolt” on his recent visit to Cuba, Charges Are Outlined. ‘The Senator added: “Charges of ex- treme tryanny, disregard of human life, trial without jury, dishonesty in office, no free ballot—are rampant. These charges are staggering because of their universality with respect to usurpation of power and disregard of fundamental political rights. “If the Cuban question reaches the political crisis that is lhruteneldhufl;l American people may prepare - selves for revelations of most startling character.” Walsh maintained the United States could not avoid the responsibility of assuring the Cuban people an honest election while the present treaty rela- tionships exist between the two coun- tries. “Any other course is indefensible,” he said, “and places us in a partner- ship with those who hold the people of Cuba under what many claim to be a tyrannical and despotic government. If we are not able to give the people of Cuba honest elections we had better retire and leave them to their fate rather than be accused by them of being derelict and in fact supporting indirectly what may be a bold military despotism.” Expects Acute Issue. “The Cuban question,” he continued, “will be the most important one before the American Government in the next few months. We should either abandon our obligations under the so-called Platt amendment or we should vigor- ously insist upon an honest -financial policy in Cuba and, above everything else, demand untrammeled elections. To do less is faithlessness to our obli- gations and is discreditable to our reputation at home and abroad. “We have a duty to ourselves as well as Cuba and that duty requires us to avoid any responsibility for what may happen by acting now before it is too late, to avoid a share in the indictment the world will make when all the facts are known.” STEEL MAGNATE DIES Henry Phipps Was Associate of Andrew Carnegie. as | who hapj SITUATION IN CUBA = SHOOTS MAN FOUND WITH WIFE IN MOVIE [Husband’s Victim in Serious Condition After Attack at the Earle.
