JOYFUL OVER FUTURE
Cows, Horses, Chickens and
Turkeys viii Be Raised
by Singer.
By DIXON STEWART,
Lnitnh Press staff rnrresnnndent

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 25.-
With the purchase Of a farm twelve
miles west of Colby, Kan. by Marion
Talley. an agricultural question
which received slightly less publicity
than did the McNary- -Haugen bill
has been settled.
Marion has done a typical thing
in buying it; she has returned to the
home country of her mother, and
to the country in which her father,
c. NJ. Talley. met and married her
mother, who lived in Ellis and Hays,
not far from the newly acquired
Talley farm.
you can write, Marion Talley,
retired singer" said Marion, as she
made the announcement. Il am
retired. and shall be. Of course ]
hope you will understand that 1
have a photograph record contract
that will run nearly three years. 1
must take care of that.
=. Will Continue Study :. ....
81 suppose I shall study; 1
couldn't live without it. But l hope
you can convince people l am not
studying a comeback. 1t will be for
my own satisfaction"
Marion showed little interest in
discussing her singing career, which
carried her from comparative OBJ
Scurity in Kansas City to q position
as the youngest star ever to appear
with the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany Of New York. She was inter
este donly in the farm and plans for
the future
"The farm is mile square . she
announced. Its a beautiful piece
OF ground. with wheat knee-high
and everything 10 make q really fine
home.
I'm going to stock it. Of course
Chiefly I'm going to be interested
in saddle horses right now. l love
to ride.
Cows There. Too.
"Of course, Ill have other things
III have coWs--I think HolStejns,
because they give good milk and go
we'll with western Kansas, and be-
cause I like their colors anyway.
And they raise fine turkeys in that
country, and chickens and ducks
and geese. and the speckled fowl
guinea fowl.
Someone out there gave me three
bantam chicks, and someone else, in
Cnnecticut, sent four chickens to
our New York apartment. If they
stand the rip, they might wake up
in Kansas some day"
Mis- Talley It'd Of plans for build
ing a house on the farm, probably
within two months. The home is to
have water, electricity and all mod
ern conVenienceS.
The farm is just a mile from a
paved highway, 240 miles northeast
of Denver and 400 miles from
Kansas City.
Satisfied With Life
I've never felt so well satisfied
in my life as with this new venture
Of mine. The place is beautifully
located for one who loves the end
less expanse of western Kansas.
There are no hills on it, but there
is a crop of wheat that will run forty
bushels to the acre unless some
thing happens, and contrary to
eastern ideas, things don't happen
as often as is imagined. Crop fall
ures are not frequent out here, and
crops good.
This season III have my regular
owners share Of the crop, since a
tenant is on the farm at present"
Marion has made a good buy, ac-
cOrding to Edmund E. Morris, her
financial adviser, who arranged the
purchase for "S1 and other consid-
erations.'

Seven Hours to Go

About seven hours later, ROBBINS
and Kelly will equal the present sus-
tanned flight record. provided moth
ing develops to bring a sudden end
to their fight. The mark, 150:40:16
was established by the army plane
Question Mark.
The passing Of that mark, at 6:13
p. m. today will not see the end of
their efforts. however. according to
the two They hope to continue
soaring over Ft. Worth until rec
ord many hours greater is estab-
lished.
The two weary men have taken
turns at the controls of the plane
during the last week The notes
they have dropped to the spectators
indicated their spirits were buoyed
high.
There remains only the one sus-
tanned flight record for the two to
break. They have passed all others.
the last to be broken being the mark
of 118 hours set by the French dirig-
ible DiXmude.
Strain Shows on Faces
The strain Of their efforts is tell
ing, according to the refueling

the motors, the roar of the engine in
their ears and the fact that their
sleep is broken.
None the less there is nothing but
optimism evidenced in the notes the
Ft Worth'S crew have dropped.
They are cheered by word from
well-Wishers on the ground and
their wives frequently come up in
other planes to wave courage to
them.
Sheafs of notes. kilograms and
letters have been delivered in the
refuelings. They can can read how
the world is watching their flight in
clippings from many newspapers
which are lowered TO them, along
with food and clean clothing
Robbins takes delight III telling
the watchers how Kelly misses his
bride of six weeks. I'm afraid we
can't last much longer" he said in
one note. Kelly is thinking of his
wife and can't refuel alone"
After Real Mark"
The determined spirit of the two
was evidenced in another note
which ended by remarking. two
Texans can beat what any other six
guys can do" There were six men
in the army plane Question Mark.
The men say they are determined
to set a, real mark for other f1iers
to shoot at, indicating they hope to
stay up several days more.
There has not been the slightest
hesitation in the Ft. Worth's motor
during the six days and nights it
has kept droning. The nine CYL
inders have hit with perfect regu-
larity. Officers at the field say the
length of the flight is a question of
how long Kelly and Robbins can
endure their monotonous swing.

the rear deck Of the Mayflower. The
others, one 20 feet long and the other
two Is feet long, were placed at inter-
walls along the Mayflower's snowy white
decks.
One Assigned to Ship No. ZOE.
One of the 20 footers has been as
signed to Sea Scout ship No. 202, which
proposes to christen it the Merrimac.
The other 20 footer has been assigned
to the Alexandria, Va, Sea Scout unit,
while one of the 16 footers has been
assigned to Sea Scout ship No. 203.
The Sea Scout unit which will re-
ceive the other 16-footer is undecided,
j. w. Talley, local Sea Scout pilot and
executive head, being in quandary at

In addition to the four lifeboats from
the Mayflower, the local Sea Scout de-
partment also has a 25-foot motor boat,
acquired last August from the Sylph,

Navy for many years. The motor boat
was used in patrol duty by the Y. M. C.

DOG TEAM IS SENT
TO RESCUE E|ELSON
Party Expected to Reach
Vicinity of Missing Flyer
Late Today.

by the Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, November 21.-A dog
team sent TO the rescue OF Pilot Carl Ben
Eielson by the icebound fur trading ship
Nanuk is expected to reach late today
the vicinity where the aviator last was
seen.
A direct radio message from Olaf
Swenson, aboard the Nanuk, frozen in
near North Cape, Siberia, informed
the Nome Nugget of the attempt to res
cue Eielson. The dog team, the mes
sage said, headed toward the spot where
Eielson, noted Polar airman, was sighted
flying recently by natives.
Flew Passengers From Ship.
Swenson did not say when the dog
team left the Nanuk.
Eielson, in cooperation with Pilot
Frank Dorbandt, is attempting to trans
port passengers and rurs from the
Nanuk and passengers from the Rus
sian ship Stavropol, icebound near the
Nanuk, to Nome. They made one trip
to Nome with six passengers and valua-
BILE furs from the Nanuk, but Eielson
was forced down somewhere on the ST.
berian coast on the return trip. He was
last seen flying In heavy weather within
60 miles of the Nanuk. Unverified re-
ports previously said natives had sight
ed the wreckage of his plane.
Weather MOderates.
Swenson, who is head of the company
owning the Nanuk, said the weather had
moderated greatly, the temperature be-
ing IS degrees above zero at North Cape,
the same temperature which main
tanned at Nome. It was clear and calm
at North Cape, Swenson said.
Pilot Frank Dorbandt, who was forced
down at Teller, arrived at Nome yester-
day, having made temporary repairs to
his plane. He broke an axle, when he
attempted to take of from Teller Sum
day to search for EielSon and Earl Bo-
land, his mechanic. Dorbandt said he
would take OF again for the Nanuk as
soon as the broken axle can be welded.

Four lifeboats which graced the
decks of the former presidential yacht
Mayfiower, now lying idle In fresh water
at Philadelphia awaiting sale, have come
home to local waters, as property OF the
Sea Scout department OF the DISTRICT
of Columbia Council, Boy scouts OF
America.
In the near future these graceful
little craft, which have served as safe
guards of the lives of Presidents, will
be seen with sails filled plying the
waters of the Potomac, manned by the
Sea Scouts.
At Scout headquarters, where the
acquisition of the boats was learned
today, it was explained that in the
river as far as Mount Vernon they will
give the customary Navy salute while
passing the old mansion, the same as
given for years by their mother ship,
the Mayhower.
Acquired Through Special Act.
The boats were acquired from the
Navy Department through special act
of Congress last Summer authorizing
that obsolete Navy equipment be placed
at the disposal of the Sea Scouts, a
branch of the Boy Scouts of America,
for use. Although the Mayhower is to
be sold, the boats were acquired, 1t Is
pointed out. due to not being standard
yacht equipment and having been
placed on the Mayflower some time aft
err the yacht had been in use. The
boats, however, are declared to be as
good in every way as the standard
equipment.
Several months ago Capt. B. B. Bierer
of the local Sea Scout committee went
to Philadelphia in search of boats for
the Sea Scouts of the Washington
Council of Boy Scouts, his trip result
ing in his discovery of the lifeboats on
board the Mayfiower. He Immediately
applied to the National Sea Scout De-
partment, which made application to
the Secretary Of the Navy for the
boats.
The result was that on Saturday,
November 8, the boats arrived in WASH

SERVICE OF THE PRESS

The Pulitzer prize awards have again recognized dis
interested and mertorious service by newspapers and
members of the Journalistic profession. With the selec-
tons OF the award committee there is no quarrel.
This annual recognition Of the public work newspapers
and newspapermen are doing is priced by them, not be-
cause there is a money reward attached, but because it
awakens an often unappreciative and unsympathetic
public to the contributions of journalism to the security
and happiness of the people.
What was 1t that attracted recognition this time? A
newspaper campaign against ambulance chasing" law
yers, an editorial denouncing lynch law. informative
newspaper correspondence and a reportorial expose of a
fraud against the government.
Coltradicting near-sighted critics who see nothing in
the modern newspaper but that which provo.;es some
personal prejudice, the Pulitzer awards emphasize the
efto"ta OF newspapers in the public interest. That news
papers do discourage graft and corruption. precerve free
dom of speech and other liberties OF the people. and dis
arm those who would substitute tyranny for democracy,
is conceded by all fairminded persons.
So the Pulitzer prizes work all indirect public good
They encourage the fourth estate to continue and extend
its efforts for the public welfare.

NEW USES FOR COAL

Discoveries Of new coal derivatives, announced this

raised at the international conference on bituminous
coal held here last November. At any rate. Pittsburghers
who followed the sessions will not be surprised about de-
velopments IN the synthetic kingdom Of coal; they
were made ready for almost anything. The new products
mean m extended use for coal and on that account they
should be hailed IN the capital OF American bituminous.

LONG-RANGE FORECASTS
(WaShinpton Starr

Does the weather. or any single element of it, follow
periodic cycles? We know one meteorological cycle by
which we can make predictions with reasonable assurance
that OF the solar year. Over any twelve-month period
temperatures can be plotted in a fairly smooth curve.
1t is as certain as anything on this earth than any jan
uary in the temperate zone will be considerably colder,
on the avearge. than any July.
But is there a similar cycle extending over years in-
stead OF months? Let us assume such a cycle of twelve
years corresponding roughly in meteorological phenon-
ena with the t%welve-month cycle that we know. Then
there would be a January year. a February year, a May
year. a July year and a December year. We could predict
with assurance that the November year would be colder
than the May year.
None would welcome information of such a cycle more
than the professional MISUNDERSTANDING staff of the
United States Weather Bureau and the official FORE
casters OF other nations. Their work would be easier.
Their services would be of more value.
They have examined most OF the alleged circular PEI
RODS and found that they simply do not exist. Belief in
them. however. is based in observations which have not
been subjected to rigid mathematical ANALYSIS.
