TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE SPEED— An airplane that is expected to fly at the rate of a thousand miles an hour has been built in Germany by Dr. Hugo Junkers, famous aircraft designer. It is planned to travel in the stratosphere, which is the almost airless region, ten miles and more above the earth's surface. Compressed air carried in tanks will supply the motors with the necessary oxygen, and will also enable the passengers to breathe. The cabin will be sealed like a tin can to keep the oxygen from escaping. This project is in itself proof that there are still unexplored realms, and that man's spirit of adventure has not vanished. It took courage for Professor Pickard to go up into the stratosphere in a balloon. It will take more courage to attempt to fly around the world with the speed of the sun in this new plane. But the attempt will be made, and if the first effort does not succeed others will try it. There is no limit yet to what man's daring and ingenuity can attempt. TURKEN— The newest thing in poultry is the turken, cross between the Austrian white turkey and the Rhode Island Red hen. Two specimens of this curious fowl have been produced at the biological laboratory of De Paul University of Chicago. If it develops that these hybrids can reproduce their species, the result should be a valuable addition to the world's food supply. The turken weighs from six to eight pounds, and is said to be better eating than Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital Washington, D. C.—The Seventy-second Congress has opened its session. The hotel corridors here are thronged with Senators and Representatives from all parts of the country and a lot of quiet log-rolling is being done. The change from Republican to Democratic control in the Lower House, which is assured as a result of the by-elections, means that new committee chairmen will be chosen and a different impetus given to many measures that are being pressed for action. The first business before Congress, after the election of the Speaker, which now appears to be merely a perfunctory counting of noses and the installation of John Gardner, of Texas, as the new gavel-wielder, will be formal approval of President Hoover's action in granting Germany a year's moratorium on its war debts. As this action was taken with full consent of the leaders of both parties, any voting to sustain the President will merely be a matter of form and is not expected to take more than a few minutes, once Congress is organized. The Republican Progressives and Independents are also being spoken of as probable bottlers, but any stories about them are classed in the same category as the Tammany recalcitrants. Ahead of the actual opening it is expected that party lines will be drawn as strictly as ever and that Garner will fall heir to Longsworth's job. The Senate will also have to make choice for president pro tenn., the man who will preside when Vice-President Curtis is away. Almost any Senator may be chosen, although there is unquestionably strong sentiment in favor of the selection of Senator Borah, Borah, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, is the most powerful man in the upper house and his recent utterances and conferences with Premier Laval of France and Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy have done much to make him an imminent figure. The main objection to this post is believe the Idaho senator himself probably choose to preside to speak from the floor greater popularity a moment than he has largely because he has a large enough because he has a grasp of foreign questions. One of the earliest men probably be called up for the House finally settle Muscle Shoals. The get here is that the proposed Government run the big development will be down whelming vote. Congress believe, is not ready to policy of letting the alone, and nationalizing would lead to the introduction of measures affecting power parts of the country. Second to the superintendent will be the silver question predicted here. It is known Key Pittman, of the greatest silver disruption, intends to press bimetalism, the move Bryan the Presidency against McKinley. Pitt verted many other ways of thinking, while a powerful leaning toward monetaryization of silver. In any event, it can dictated, Congress can organize quickly and press business that is of the world-wide depiction that a deadlock would do choice of a Speaker in this conference held in this city, which was Senator McNary, is going have held for the purpose ingining the Farm Board's checkmaking any action velop when the Senate Committee meets. The imminent hold was able to permit th TURKEN— The newest thing in poultry is the turken, cross between the Austrian white turkey and the Rhode Island Red hen.

The turken weighs from six to eight pounds, and is said to be better eating than either the turkey or the hen. The invention and discovery of new kinds of animals and plants is another sort of adventure in which increasing numbers of young men are engaging today. BLUEBERRIES— More than 10,000 bushels of blueberries are harvested annually from cultivated bushes of this plant, which formerly grew only in a wild state. That is because Dr. Frederick E. Coville, botanist of the U.S. Department of Agricultural, discovered how to make blueberry bushes grow under cultivation. The Massachusetts Horticultural Society has just given him a gold medal for his discovery that blueberry bushes grow only on a sour soil, and that they thrive only when exposed to cold weather in the winter. The demand for blueberries in the cities is a steady one. Hundreds of farmers in the North are utilizing waste land to grow this crop systematically. And down in West Florida, in the Yellow River country's, I saw a grove of blueberry trees, twelve or fourteen feet high bearing berries almost as big as the end of your thumb. BARUCH— My friend, Bernard M. Baruch, is being mentioned almost as frequently in the newspapers these days as he was during the war when he was Chairman of the War Trade Board. He drops in at the White House frequently, at Mr. Hoover's invitation, to advise him on questions of national and international finance. He has just had an important hand in the cotton stabilization program. People call on "Berney" Baruch for financial advice because they have learned that he is not only one of the greatest authorities on finance, but that he has no private interest to serve. He has all the money he wants, and he made it all himself. Baruch is one of those rare persons, a Jew of American Colonial ancestry. His people settled in South Carolina before the Revolution, and he still has a home there. His father was a surgeon in the Confederate Army, his brother one of America's most distinguished physicians. He has never held public office, but statesmen of all parties have been calling on him for advice and counsel for years. The Senate will also have to make choice for president pro tem., the man who will preside when Vice-President Curtis is away. Almost any Senator may be chosen, although there is unquestionably strong sentiment in favor of the selection of Senator Borah. Borah, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, is the most powerful man in the upper house and his recent utterances and conferences with Premier Laval of France and Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy have done much What will HE treasure most?

A lot of other people apparently had their eyes on it. The price of silver went up from about twenty-five cents an ounce to nearly forty-cents in the course of seven or eight weeks. Then it slumped under speculative profit-taking. But statesmen, financiers and economists all over the world are trying to work out some international plan for the restoration of silver to its former currency position. I sat with a group of these gentlemen last week and found that many of them believe that the demonetization of silver in India, France and the United States is one of the underlying causes of the present economic disturbance. One thing is certain. Tremendous efforts will be made in the next few months to restore blimetallism. You will hear silver discussed in Congress, and you will see more about it in the newspapers. I could not help thinking of the old days of Bryan and "sixteen to one" when I heard these international financiers discussing silver as seriously as it ever was discussed in the 1890's. Mine was a Quaker family, unwilling in those days to have youth corrupted with stronger reading than the Bible, the encyclopedia or those great novels where the hero overcomes the demon rum.—Herbert Hoover. This is the rule to follow; First choice for home products, second choice for products of the empire... to make him an imposing national figure. The main objection to naming Borah for this post is believed to come from the Idaho senator himself. Borah will probably choose to preserve his freedom to speak from the floor. He is enjoying greater popularity at the present moment than he has ever won before, largely because he has shown a disposition to vote more strictly with his Party and because of his admitted grasp of foreign questions. One of the earliest measures that will probably be called up for decision when the House finally settles down, will be Muscle Shoals. The general sentiment here is that the proposal to have the Government run the big Southern power development will be downed by an overwhelming vote. Congress, the politicians believe, is not ready to veer from its policy of letting the power interests alone, and nationalizing Muscle Shoals would lead to the introduction of similar measures affecting power projects in all parts of the country. Second to the superpower questions will be the silver question, it is being predicted here. It is known that Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, one of the greatest silver districts in the world, intends to press a demand for himetallism, the movement that cost Bryan the Presidency when he ran against McKinley. Pittman has converted many other Senators to his way of thinking, while the House has a powerful leaning towards renomization of silver. In any event, it can safely be predicted, Congress can be expected to organize quickly and get down to the pressing business that it faces because of the world-wide depression. Fears that a deadlock would develop over the choice of a Speaker in the Lower House have ceased to exist and the election of a clear Democratic majority the past few weeks. The conference held by farm leaders in this city, which was instigated by Senator McNary, is generally felt to have held for the purpose of strengthening the Farm Board's position and checkmating any action that may develop when the Senate Investigation Committee meets. The informal meeting was held to permit those with grievances to air them and in general clear the situation. It is thought here that the conference achieved its purpose and that, despite its faults that are freely admitted, the Board has more to its credit than discredit. In regard to farm legislation, the impression is growing stronger than ever here that both the export debenture and equalization fee measures are doomed to defeat at the hands of Congress. Instead, it is freely predicted, tariff measures will be passed that will favor the farmer and convince him that Congress is anxious to give him practical aid. 4-H Boys and Girls to Receive Pins The annual presentation day exercises of the Orange county boys and girls 4-H Clubs will be held at 6:30 p.m., Friday, in the Women's club house, Garden Grove. Frank Was, county key banker, will present the California achievement pins to the 326 members and leaders who have satisfactorily completed their year's work. These pins are presented annually by the California Banker's association to the ten thousand or more 4-H club members in California. The pins are circular in shape with a blue border in which is written in gold "California Achievement." The four-leaf clover with the H on each leaf occupies the center of the pin. The number of leaves colored green indicates the number of years the member has been in club work. After the fourth year, stars and colored backgrounds are used to note the additional years. One boy will receive a seventh year pin; 8 will receive sixth year pin; "A TELEPHONE of my Own for CHRISTMAS!" "A TELEPHONE of my Own for CHRISTMAS!"
