WASHINGTON, March 5.-The nose

folks described one type of in plane,
which until recently made tho lives OF
its pilots miserable because Of its
tendency to burrow downward in flight

Ambassador Is Expert Cook
Pezet Composes Culinary Sym

WASHINGTON, March 5.--When It's
whispered around on Diplomatic Row
here that peruvian dinner" is in
the making, there is a smacking of lips
and Frightening of eyes in anticipa-
tion among the lucky ones who may be
invited.
For while Senior Don Frederico AL
phonso Pezet in his official capacity is
Ambassador Extraordinary and Min
lister Plenipotentiary from Peru, un-
officially he is an artist, a composer of
culinary symphonies. And he plays em
too, not on any frivolous chafing dish,
but on regular, businesslike gas
range.
The score or more embassy attaches
and other folk who are invited to these
informal dinners agree that Senor
Pezets ability to plan a dinner, then
execute it with pot, pan and skillet
and finally preside at the feast as
genial host is unequallcd among his

World Conference
Plans to Eliminate
Barriers to Traffic
Barcelona Delegates to Deal
Particularly With Transit
Between Two Countries
Across a Third One

LONDON Feb. 10 (By MaiD The
chief task of the international Confer
ence on Communications and Transit,
to be held at Barcelona, Spain, will be
to draw up a series of International
conventions intended to eliminate some
of the difficulties and restrictions which
now hamper international transporta-
tion of passengers and freight. These
conventions, which are to be submitted
to the nations of the world for ratlilca-
tion, are expected to deal with inter
national transportation both by rail
roads and by navigable waterways and
50 define also the rights Of land-locked
nations to have access to seaports.
One situation with which the confer
ence will have particularly to deal is
the transit of freight and passengers
between two countries across a third
one. This affords an opportunity for
the middle country, through which the
traffic has to pass, to collect a heavy
toll on such traffic. 1t is asserted that
the rearrangemcn of European boun-
daries since the war has made this situ-
alton worse than before.
Barriers to Transportation
One of the main factors of the pres
ent economic and financial crisis in
some sections of Europe is the needless
national barriers which check interna-
tional transportation, with the result
that in some districts the people starve
while factories stand idle in others for
lack Of material.
1t will be the purpose Of the BARGE
Iona conference to put an end to this
unnecessary hampering of international
transit by giving this problem recog-
nized international standard.
The conference will not be restricted
to discussion and advice, but will be
composed of officially appointed dele
gates of various nations and will be
equipped with considerable power Of
initiative within its own sphere.
The conference is expected to lay the
basis for permanent organization
which will act as recurrent legislative
body to deal with all questions within
its field. 1t is expected to take it's
national Labor Organization, Interna-
tional Health Organization and the In
ternational Economic and Financial
Conference.
Committee of Experts
There will be a standing communica-
tion committee with headquarters at
Geneva. This will be body of experts
for the double duty of advising the
Council of the League of Nations and
the international court of justice on
all questions Of communication and
transportation and also of acting as
mediator in all disputes relating to
such questions, so that they may not
become subject to local proceedings
until all efforts of an amicable adjust
ment had failed.
Gabriel Hanotaux, formerly Minister
OF Foreign Affairs of France, will pre-
side and will be assisted by vice-presi-
dents from Italy, Holland, Switzerland
and Great Britain.

New Flying Machine
Rises Vertically
From the Ground
Inventor Claims Craft Can
Dip in Any Direction, Re-
main Immobile in Space
and Descend Like Plane

LONDON, Feb. 28.-Paris, accord
ing to The London Daily Telegraph
correspondent, is talking about new
flying machine and the romantic story
of its invention.
1t is called the "helicoptere," and
the inventor, M. Pateras-P Pescara, a
Barcelona engineer, made his discov-
cry in the Sante prison at 2 o'clock in
the morning. 1t is claimed for this
new flying vehicle, in which the French
government is interested, for it will
send technical mission to Barcelona
to witness the trials, that passengers
can descend from the air with the
same comfort as though they were sit
ting in armchairs. The invention con-
sists Of an axle fixed to q motor which
is placed in the vehicle. The axle sets
in motion sets Of propellers, one set
turning one way, one another. The ve-
hicle rises vertically from the ground;
it can dip in every direction, remain
immobile in space, and descend like an
aeroplane with engine stopped.
M Pateras-Pe Pescara, a nationalized
Argentine, who married an Austrian
princess, had to leave Italy when that
country entered the war. He came to
France, where he was employed in the
Ministry of Inventions. In 1915 he was
at work on a bombing machine which
was intended to fly between Paris and
Berlin with a cargo of explosives at
had trouble with the diplomatists and
was watched by the international po-
lice.
Arrested, he was taken to the Saute
prison, and it was in his cell on De-
cember 18, 1916, that he solved the
problem of the "helicoptere.' The ex-
pulsion proceedings against him were
dropped, and after his release be ap-
piled himself to his invention.
In August, 1919, mission from tho
French Air Department went to Bar
celona to witness tho trials of his
parachute "helicoptere," and as re-
suit of it's report contract was signed
with the inventor. Compelled to re-
side outside France, NJ. Pescara built !
definite model of his machine at Bar
ceona. 1t was tried recently, and it is
said that the propellers worked ad- !
mirably.
With reference to this claim Of the |
Barcelona inventor, it may be pointed
out that there is nothing whatever
new about the idea of "helicoptere,"
i. e., machine capable of rising from
the ground by the action of horizontal /!
ly-placed propellers. The plan, in fact,
is one of the oldest in the history Of |
aeronautcal theory and experiment,
and has been put forward more than |
once during the past quarter of CEN
tury. Whether NJ Pescara has sue
ceeded in surmounting the difficulties !
heretofore encountered remains to be |
seen.

Publication of Books
Increases ill England
Figures for 1920 Show Cain of
2,40O Over 1919, Despite
Rise in Cost of Production

From The Tribune's European Bureau
LONDON, Feb. 26.-Despte the fact
that all production costs have risen,
more than 1000 new books were pub
lished in England in 1920. This rep
resents an increase of 2,400 over 1919,
and Of this increase 1000 are novels.
There were more Biographies last year
than in previous seasons, but the
number of works on religion declined
sharply
Binding, printing and composition
are all more expensive than in the
past. Before the war 5000 was nee
essary to bring out book in Eng
land; now the sum is nearer $500. But
the food of literature continues to
rise. Some publishers say that the
war was forcing plant for younger
writers, and that the increase is due
to the good work being brought out
by these young men.

Surplus of Farm Labor
Indications Point to Lower
Wage This Year

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 3.-A
home and work, no matter what the
pay is, is the general tone of scores
of letters being received by Secretary
Of Agriculture Shaw Of Ohio, from
former farm employees, now out of EN-
ployment in industrial centers.
"We aren't afraid of hard work and
we are not looking for wartime
wages" wrote one young man Of
twenty-three, who sent in an appeal
for himself and a friend.
That there will be a surplus of farm
labor this season and that wages will
be nearer to what farmers think they
ought to pay, than in years, is the
conviction of Shaw.

Out-and the watcher who watched
without was beginning to get bored.
About 4:3O be sat up and took notice
as some n left the house; but 1t was
only the superbly dressed young man
whom he had discovered already was
merely a c~lothes-peg calling himself
Darrell.
The sun was getting low and the
shadows were frightening when a taxi
drove up to the door. Immediately
the watcher drew closer, only to stop
with a faint smile as he saw two men
get out Of 1t. One was the immaculate
Darrell the other was q stranger, and
both were quite obviously what In the
vernacular is known as oiled.
"You prisheless ole beam" he heard
Darrell say ~afectionately. "thish blink
Ing cabsh my show"
The other man hiccoughed assent,
and leant YEARLY against the palings.
Right" he remarked, "ole friend Of
me youth. 1t shall be ash you WISH"
With a tolerant eye he watched them
tack up the stairs, singing Justify IN
chorus. Then the door above closed,
and the melody continued to float out
through the open window.
Tel minutes later he was relieved.
1t was quite an transformations relief ;
Another man merely strolled past him.
And since there was nothing to re-
port, he merely strolled away. He
could hardly be expected to know that
up In Peter Darrell's sitting-room, two
perfectly sober young men were con-
templating with professional Eyes an
extremely drunk gentleman singing In
a chair. and that n Of those two
sober young men was Peter Darrell.
Then further interior activity took
place In Half Moon street, and as the
darkness fell, silence gradually settled
on the house.
Ten o'clock struck. then eleven
and the silence remained unbroken. It
was not tll eleven-thirty that q sud-
den small sound made Hugh Drum
mond sit up In his chair, with every
nerve alert 1t came from the direc-
ton Of the kitchen-and 1t was the
sound he had been waiting for.
Swiftly he opened his door and
passed along the passage to where
the motionless man lay still In bed.

coaxing tone, "at up and take your

His voice died away, and he rose
slowly to his feet In the open door
