Dropping From the Air.

=. All of the knowledge and ability of
the aviator is called into play when
he undertakes to come to earth. He
must remember all he has ever learned.
and there are about as many dos" as
"dontS" for him to follow. There are
a thousand things likely to happen
when machine is about to reach land.
and the aviator must be prepared to
meet any one Of these emergencies. It
Is essential that he should know the
exact direction of the wind and make
his descent squarely into 1t. It is
fatal to stall the engine at this stage
OF the flight. The gentle art of land
ing IS particularly trying to the beginner.

Birds Domesticated.

The wood ducks are regarded as the
most beautiful birds of their class and
at the same time they are the most
shy. They live in the most inpene-
trable parts of the country. It is rather
rare thing to encounter them, but
these birds have been successfully
domesticated by Foster Parker, a her
nit, who lives in marsh in the Finger
Lake district of Central New York:
Fifty years ago, when he was young
man, he discovered the nest of wood
duck in the heart of the woods and
he took them to his lonely home. This
was the start of wild duck breeding
farm. He Matched, the wood ducks
under hen and succeeded in raising
the brood and now from his nine-acre
farm In the marsh he sends speci-
mems of these and other birds, which
he raises. all over the world. Parker
is real recluse. His home in 9
miles from the nearest highway. which
in this case is mere dirt road, and
in order to reach his farm 1t is neces-
sary to walk plank through the
marsh.

Paris, Foreign Minister Aristide
BRAND yesterday indicated Frances
stand for the later meeting. In
answer to Won Hoesch's expressions
pointing out the advantages which
"A December meeting would mean to
his government in dealing with do
rhestic problems, BRAND asserted
that preliminary work of the con
ference was as yet incomplete and
with the eastern reparations confer
ence in deadlock there appeared
little prospect of completion before
January !.
The German government has de-
sired to open the Hague meeting be.
fore December %, when the Ger

referendum opposing acceptance of
the Young plan. France, however,
is not willing to accept the belief
that the nationalist referendum cNn
have no effect on Germany's accepts
ance of the Young plan and refuses
to consider signing a reparations
agreement until the referendum is
completed.
In addition to this fear, which
was greatly accentuated by the re-
suits Of Sundays elections through
out Germany, there is growing anXi-
ETY. over the failure of the non
German rcparations conference to
break the deadlock which followed
differences over the reparations of

ON PROHIBITION
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. W.P)-
Prohibition was brought back to the
center of congressional discussion to
day by the Volstead law Indictment
of Representative Edward Everett
Denison, Republican, Illinois, and
the report of Secretary Mellon that
his specially-added enforcement
funds brought better investigation
but fewer arrests.
House and senate leaders antici
pated that in addition to agitation
for still larger enforcement appro
priations, congress in its regular
session starting December 2 would
take up resolution providing an
investigation of President HoOver's
plan to transfer prohibition enforce
ment from the treasury to the just
ice department.
Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia
whose proposal for $25,OO0,OOC
prohibition enforcement fund was
passed by the senate last winter and
later killed, said he would investi
gate carefully Secretary Melons re
port on what he did with the $3,650,
900 additional given this year fol-
this purpose.
Indictment of Denison, on a charge
of violating a law for which he him
self voted-the Volstead Act
caused amazement at the capitol
His past record was 100 per cent
dry.
The indictment resulting from dis
covery by prohibition agents of 8
leaking suitcase in the Union station
here January 10, and subsequent
discovery of a trunk containing
liquor in Denison's office, was voted
on request of the federal prohibition
bureau. U. S. Attorney Leo Rover
said the evidence was not brought
to his attention until l3 days ago
and federal bureau agents would no.
discuss reasons for the delay.

QUIZ BANKERS
IN REGARD TO
SUGAR LOBBY
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. W.P)-
Bankers from Wall Street and four
senators from the farming west
faced each other across the table of
the senate lobby investigating com
mittee today.
The senatorial Investigators have
information that the bankers have
been lobbying against sugar tariff
and the bankers have intimated that
the coalition of western and south
ern senators on the tariff bill was
in some degree responsible for the
recent downward change of price
levels on the New York Stock Ex-
change.
Frederick /. Kent, director of the
Bankers Trust Company, New York,
was called for questioning concern
ing a letter he made public in which
he inferred the coalitionists were to
blame for disturbing business by
changing the level of industrial
rates in the pending tariff bill be-
low the ratio of existing law.
In response, the leader of the coal
tionists, Senator Borah, of Idaho,
declared Kent knew what had
caused the market to drop and that
It was not the coalitionists. Borah
suggested that the unexplained
'eason for the troubles in Wall
street would be a fit subject for
congressional inquiry.

HOOVER HOLDS
HIGH HOPES OF
ACTIVE WINTER
President Cheered BY Re-
suits OF Meetings With
Businessmen.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. U.p)---
First efforts of President Hoover to
speed up the prosperity machinery
Of the country have filled him with
hope for an active winters business
throughout the nation.
Results of the first conference
have forecast additional progress in
those yet to come. Railroad cxccu-
tives promised him they would go
forward with development programs.
This will mean expenditure of more
than billion dollars in the next
year. The federal reserve board
and its advisory council predicte
lower money rates to make it easy
fer business to get funds for active
operation.
Heads Of important industries, IN
Guiding Henry Ford, were to have
met with him today to discuss plans
for keeping their factories and shops
running throughout the winter, but
the funeral of Secretary of War
Good caused postponement of that
engagement until tomorrow.
Encouraging news came from the
treasury department today where of
ficials gave assurance that even
with the $160,000,000 tax cut this
winter and the additional $175,000,-
COO for expansion of the building
program, there will be a sizeable
surplus at the close of the fiscal
year next June 80.
The statement by Governor Young
. of the federal reserve board that
money would be available at all
reserve districts at low rates, was
viewed in government circles IS
presaging a general reduction in re
discount rates. Outside of New
York where the rate was recentl.
, lowered to Az per cent, the rcdis
count rate at all federal reserve
! banks is now per cent.
Money generally is cheaper than
! in two years, a factor which i;
unique in the history of stock mar
ket deflations. The ease with whicl
business may now obtain money il
regarded here as one of the strong
est reasons for official optimism
| which prevails.
President Hoover believes snl
facts speak louder than any word
which he might utter.

AVAT0RS READY
TO SEARCH FOR
L0STC0 M RADE

NOME, Alaska, Nov. 20. W.Et-
Two pilots of the Alaska Airways,
Inc, were today impatiently await
ing cleal weather in order that they
might take the air in search of their
flying mate, Carl Ben Eielson, re-
ported missing in the bleak Sibcri-
an wastes, since take-off on Nov.
8, while on an errand of mercy TO
succor the crew of the trading ship
Nanuk, frozen in the ice off Cape
North.
Frank Borbandt, who started out
with Eielson and was forced to turn
back after an hours flying, was at
Teller, 100 miles north of here,
while Joe Crosson, late of the Will
kins South Pole expedition, was due
to start from Fairbanks to Nome as
soon as flying conditions permitted.
Eielson, with his mechanic, Bor-
land, were flying Hamilton all
metal plane. They had with them
rftions sufficient for 80 days, and
also a stove, tent, skis, snowshoes
and other equipment. Officials CT
the Alaska Airways were confident
that Eielson had made landing be-
cause of poor visibility, and had es-
tablished himself in some traders
cabin until able to take off again.
On a previous trip returning frcm
the icebound Nanuk, Eielson was
forced down so miles northwest of
Cape Serdge, and remained in a
cabin owned by a trader named
Saraoff for two weeks before con
tlnuing his flight. 1t is believed
that he may have done the same
thing now.
Eielson was pilot in the Sir
Hubert wilkins expedition which
conducted recent Arctic explora-
tiOns.
