BY HERBERT LAPHAM Celebrated Psychoanalyst LOS ANGELES.—Jackie Coo gan occupies the movie pinnacle not by fluke but by hte own merit. The analysis I made of him for the University of California scien tifically demonstrates this. He belongs to the border-line genius class with mental development four years in advance of his age, eight. With 100 as normal, Coogan’s revision in' 600 reaches his level. There is big difference between precocious youngsters And border- liners. Jackie positively is not a merely precocious child.

FAMINE PREDICTED IN RUHR VALLEY Praise Greets German Note Saying French Are Incapable of Running Mines. Marks Run Low. 1 ESSEN — (By the AsociateA Press) — The announcement at French general headquarters. that the customs,and torest control to be inaugurated immediately in the Rhineland, would be promul gated shortly in the Ruhr, brought forth the comment in German cir cles that the French military au thorities pre reluctant apparent ly of such penalties in the newly accupied area. Delaying enforcement of the measures here is regarded by the Germans as a plgn of weakness. They declare that the Rhineland ers. having submitted without a murmur to tour years' of occupa tion. are now the first to be thus punished. As the French, Italian and Bel gian customs experts completed their plans for controlling fhe. ex port business of the Rhineland, which includes 70 per* cent of Germany’s dye trade as well as the products of the Krupp' plant at Alx-Le-Ch&ppelle. the Ruhr Valley offered neither resistance nor opposition to the reques*ion- ing of coal shipments*. ' The amount thus taken over so far is small. *L There was great rejoicing Fri day over the letter written to Gen er»l Benvigne by Dr. Gruetzner, president of Rhennish Prussia, in which he declared that the French have been responsible for the increased living costs in the Ruhr and that they are incapa ble, by reason of their inexperi ence, of administering the Ruhr valley industries, i FAMINE 8EEN TQ BE NEAR » The communication also warn ed the French that famine appear ed unavoidable. In reply to the French retort that this was an at tempt at blackijall. Dr. Gruetz ner asserted that export houses in Canada and Holland which have been supplying the Ruhr with cereals and other food, have giv en notice that shipments could not be continued. The Ffianco-Balgian order for bidding the singing ,of “Duechland 'Uber Alles” or the “Di© Wacht Am Rhien” under pealty of a fine of 200,000 marks or six months im prisonment, is received with dis gust. The Germans, as the occupation begins its second week, continued, to concentrate their resistance to economic and financial lines. To a neutral observer this appears to have put the French on the de fensive. The commission, how ever, adopts an optimistic atti tude asserting that the German civilian and the Ruhr working man will be the first tosuffer from sufch tactics. The French assert, that they are doing everything in their power' to provide food for the workers. - . FLU IN MARYLAND BALTIMORE, M.
