WOMAN AND YOUTH
KILLED IN STORM
Three Others Are Injured as
Wind Wrecks Homes in
Orlando, Okla.
BY the Associated Press.

.
ORLANDO, Okla, November l6.
One woman was killed, a youth was
fatally injured and three other persons
we're hurt here last night when severe
windstorm hit the edge Of Orlando, de-
molishing two homes and barn and
damaging several other houses.
The body of Mrs. John Stevens was
taken from the wreckage of her home
shortly after the storm passed, and her
husband, severely injured also was
found in the debris. Ernest Thedford,
17-year-old high school student, was
fatally injured when barn collapsed.
The wind, which had none of the
peculiarities of tornado, swept along
a narrow path across portions Of Logan
and Noble counties with terrific force,
being accompanied by rain of almost
cloudburst proportions.
Light, power and communication
lines were twisted and ripped away,
leaving the territory in darkness and
without telegraph or telephone service
for some time. The business section of
Orlando escaped damage
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens were sitting
in their home when the wind crushed
the house down upon them. The
Thedford youth, together with a
brother, Walter, 18. and Leo Draper.
18, a cousin, were shooting sparroWS in
the barn when the wind hit. The other
two boys ran outside and were only
slightly injured.

CONFIDENCE VOTE
GIVEN PO|NCARE.
ReparationS Considered Most
Vital Question by
New Cabinet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 16. - Raymond
Poincare has safely launched his new
ministry on parliamentary seas and
obtained an adequate ma 5ority for his
policies. AS premier without portfolio
he had no departmental cares, and to-
Gay nothing appeared to stand in the
way of his pursuing vigorously nego-
tiations for the revision of the Dawes
plan.
He has made it clear that this re-
vision must enable France to pay her
war debts to Great Britain and the
United States, and also allow her an
Indemnity for restoring invaded re-
g!ons. He hopes that the reparations
settlement will lead to a general set
tlement of interallied debts. and that
the United States will consent to eX-
anime the situation.
Wins Confidence Votes.
The premier won two votes of con-
fidence in the Chamber of Deputies.
A Socialist challenge of his right to
alter the order of the day to read his
declaration of principles was defeated
by a vote of 335 to lat. When he fin
ished his declaration he was given a
vote of confidence by $50 to 129.
hundred or more radical members re-
trained from voting in the interests of
party discipline.
Adoption cf the 1929 budget was a
cardinal point in the premier's policies,
and he made it clear that for the time
being he would subordinate all other
parliamentary questions to this.
Both in his declaration of principles
and in answers to interpretations, M.
poincare made it plain that he con-
sidered the reparations question the
mcst vital consideration in Europe
today.
M. Cachin, Communist leader, pro-
voked a fist fight between Socialist
Deputy Marcais and Communist Deputy
Clamamus when he taunted Socialists
with having voted for the new army
service law, which reduced the period of
military service for individuals but in
creased military expenditures. M.
Bu.soon, presiding, prevented general

Banana a Plant Oddity.

The first paradox about the banana is
that it is a tree, by virtue of its size
and height, without true trunk, says
the Nature Magazine. The tallest banana
plants measure 40 feet from the tips
of the leaves to the ground. In ia
maica they attain about rs feet, the
first IS feet of which is approximately
the remarkable "pseudostem," or false
trunk; the remainder the blades of
the huges leaves which tower above it..

Castor Beans in Cotton Fields.

The castor bean plant has very wide
reputation for driving all insect life
away from its vicinity and they are now
being planted in some of the cotton
fields of the South with the idea of
discouraging the cotton boil weevil. BY
planting a row of five castor oil beans
to every four or five rows of cotton,
protection against insect invasion may
be obtained. The castor oil beans them
selves are a profitable crop, although it
Is admitted that should they be grown
with cotton upon all the farms of the
South there probably would result an
overproduction of the beans.
