The old conversational standby,
"Nice weather we're having, amt

tarily, to a more pressing who's
going TO be elected?"
This much was CLEANED from a
casual remark Of w. j. Schnur-

telephone calls for weather infor-
nation are now at low tide.
The fickleness of the elements
has lost much of its charm appar-

suggest to him that he inquire Of

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf.
July 24.-CP-Herbert Hoover d.
vided his time again today between
work on his address of acceptance
and conferences with political lead
ers concerning the homecoming

by San Francisco, probably on Fri

Dental candidate had arranged with
Mrs. Worthington Scranton, national
committeeman from Pennsylvania
and Representative John Q. Tilsor
Of Connecticut, republican leader Of
the house OF representatives and
chairman of the eastern speakers
bureau.
One Of the questions which TIL
son will have to determine is where
Senator Hiram Johnson Of Califor-
MIA a be used TO the best advan-
tage during the campaign; whether
his forceful argument will be OF
more value to the national ticket
in the east or in the west.
Senate Johnson, who was a lunch

managers to say where he is 10

surface indications that he and the
republican presidential nominee are
not entirely in accord with respect

the senator describes il.
Whether Mr.. Hoover will discuss
that question in his acceptance ad.

seen. but the general impression
mere Is that he will not. since the
republican platform makes no men.
tion Of 1t and the nominee Is ex
pected to confine himself to an in
ternretatlon Of that platform.
While his official Homecoming
celebration is to come later. Mr.
Hoover received an impromrtu one

ably gave him as much IL not more
genuine delight than any he will
receive in his home state. II was
staged by the twelve hundred young

While hundreds Of town folks
looked on from a nearby hill. the
students cheered the presidential

candidate and trustee Of Stanford
told the students that every mar

Record Plane Is Freak

ROME, June 29.-The Savoia
plane in which Captain Ferrarin and
Major Prete of Italy recently estab-
lished an endurance record of So
hours % minutes, is an unusual
type Of ship.
It is a monoplane, but the engine,
instead of being in the nose of the
fusilage, is set in a streamlined
egg" high above the wing on struts.
The propeller is behind the engine,
making it a pusher instead of trac-
tor type.
The placing of the engine above
the fuselage gives the pilots a good
view forward. The plane has a wing
span of siXty-two feet. 1t weighs
5,952 pounds loaded.
A special runway of cement was
built at the Monte Cello field, and
an initial inclination of seven de-
grees was built to help the plane in
getting started.
