Study Eurobe:5 Wheat Taste.

WORKING the principle that the best
way to find market for a product is to
find what the market likes best, the United
States Bureau of Agricultural Economics is con-
Quoting a study of wheat mixing, blending,
milling and baking in Europe. 1t is believed
that as result of the survey being carried on
it will be possible to stimulate the sale Of
American wheat in Europe through the prepara-
ton Of a product which meets the European
taste.

Navy Departments, the Senate and House; of
comforting with officers of the National Geo.
graphic Society and the American Geo.
graphic Society; OF being welcomed to Phila-
delphia, New York City, Albany, Brooklyn, and
Boston, and of closing up the affairs of his
South Pole expedition, he then expects to
retire" once more. AS usual it will be active
retirement living with his joyous children
while trying to get his Antarctic book ready for
publication in the Fall.
A FTER two months of such retirement, he
will begin a series of lectures that will take
him from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
BY February Admiral Byrds lecture season
will be over, and he will return to the more
thrilling life of explorer.
Will he go to the heart of Sahara, the Kali
hari Desert of Southwest Africa, the deserts OF
Centra-Western Australia, the Arctric tundraS
of Argentine pampaS? Will he fly over Mt.
Everest, or possibly over the mystery mountains
of inner Asia, which DR.. Rock reports to be
higher than Everest? Will he plan cooperative
exploring, using his rare gifts as an executive
to finance and smooth the way for detail-work-
ing scientists?
Vilhjalmur Stefansson has pointed cut that
the goal of the modern explorer must be a
well advertised place.
The explorer seldom has money enough to
finance his own expeditions; even the biggest
scientific institutions have their difficulties. In
the main, funds are secured by the man who
gets the most publicity. And, as every one
knows news publicity goes to those well adver-
tised people, places and things in which the
public already has an absorbing interest before
the expedition starts.
"Amundsen's greatest accomplishment on his
crossing of the polar seas" says MIR. StefanSSon,
was his flight over the Pole of InacceSSbility
the mcst remote spot of the UNEMPLOYED Arctic
Newspapers told the world that the Norge had
flown over the North Pole, which had already
been attained years before by Peary and Scant
few hours before by Byrd. Not one mentioned
the fact that AmundSen was the first to fly over
the most inaccessible part of the Arctic
1t cost Columbus $2,116 to discover America,
but it cost two great American newspapers
5000 900 just for a single dispatch from the
North Pole, or about 81, 900 word for the mes
sage which Amundsen sent from the apex of
the earth on May IL, 1926 the Norge slid
like huge silver cigar over the frozen seas.
Byrds quick fight over the North Pole cost
him $4,000. OF that amount $4,000 was still
in red ink on his books when he returned to
America.
Eventually he paid off that deficit, and then
undertook an even greater one when he organ
lied his South Pole expedition costing more
than million dollars. Admiral Byrd has adj
mtted that, as result of this expensive Ant
arctic expedition, he expects to be in debt the
rest of his life
These figures says Comdr Fitzhugh Green,
close friend of Byrd and himself Arctic
explorer, mark the passing Of the explorer

DEMOCRATS HONOR SWING

Action of local Democrats in circulat-
ing petition to have Congressman PM
d. Swings name included on the August
primary ballot as Democratic candl-
date, may not be good party politics, but
if is a handsome and deserved tribute to
the congressman.
AS long as Phil Swing wants to go back
to Washington to represent the 11th Cal
ifornia district, it is not likely that there
is any man in the district strong enough
to defeat him. 1t was tried on couple
OF occasions when the going was rough
est for him, with disastrous results to
those who sought to supplant him.
Swing has been a true representative
for the district Democrats seeking in
formation or favors from him have re-
ceived just as prompt and courteous Serv-
ice as have his Republican supporters.
Aside from his great work in behalf
of Boulder Canyon dam he has been SO
attentive to other important, but less
known matters, as to earn the title of
zone of the hardest worked congressman
at the capital
The Democratic party has nominated
a candidate to oppose him, but the 11th
District is preponderantly Republican
and the Democrat who accepts such a
nomination is showing fine degree of
party loyalty and considerable optimism
nothing more.
Local Democrats see in their action
only a deserved tribute to deserving
man. 1t is certain that the unsought
honor is deeply and sincerely appreciated
bv Congressman Swing. He has enough
trouble fighting in Washington without
having to come home and face fight
among his own people. This has too Of
ten been the case in the past, and let
up cannot help but be welcome relief
for him.

MORROW'S STAR RISING

Talk of Dwight w. Morrow being pres
idential timber in 1882 is not altogether
idle gossip. First attracting attention by
his good work as ambassador to Mexico,
he has been in the public eye a great
deal since that time.
His success in winning the Republican
nomination in New Jersey is an indica-
ton of his personal popularity in that
state, and say what you will, personal
popularity never yet hindered candi-
date for political honors He faced strong
opposition in Representative Fort, re-
n,ted to be a close friend of President
Hovers. and Joseph Frelinghuysen, for
merly senator from New Jersey, and a
man of considerable wealth.
Mr.. Hoover has never been any too
popular with large section of his own
party which feels that he was folSted on
them against their wishes. Internal rows
over the tariff and the London naVai
treaty may serve to weaken rather IMAM
strengthen him before 1882.
Morrow's course from this time on Will
bear watching. His name has been
brought before the people of the country
in favorable light and a good start Is
a good asset.
The fact that he happens to be the
father in law of the worlds most famous
flyer, is not handicap by any means.
Lindbergh has wisely kept in the back
ground during the New Jersey cam
paign Nothing different could be ex-
pected from him. His course would un-
doubtedly be the same if Mr.. Morrow
should become presidential candidate.
Even so that particular fact would not
lose Mr.. Morrow a single vote, and it
might bring many to him.

of the west side it would be only mat
ter of time until many of the present un-
slightly shacks were replaced by better
homes.
These homes are often unsightly not
because the residents wish them to be so
but because they cannot afford anything
better and in few cases they have no
idea how to go about improving their
homes without an outlay of more money
than they can afford
Sidewalks, shade trees and proper
lighting systems are as essential on the
Eastside as they are Oh the west. Per-
haps they are more so, for the great bulk
of the residents there must remain at

There is an opportunity for tremend

there is striking difference III
smoothness and quietness in fourth

similar to the difference between

speed transmission, millions of en-,
gine revolutions with resulting wear
are saved, and many months added
to engine life.
"sThcrc is nothing new to learn in
shifting gears with the multi-rangc
transmission, except the possibilities
of much better performance to be
had by proper handling and shifting
of the two higher gears. Drivers
should remember that they have not

TRANSMISSION IS
KEY TO BETTER
OPERATING CAR

As soon rs motorists realize that
the term performance includes
not only speed and acceleration but
also economy, smoothness, quietness
and long life, the complex problems
of automotivc engineering will he
fully appreciated, according to y. +.
Hadlev, experimental engineer of
the Chryslcr corporation.
"Thcre is marked trend in en-
ginecring circles to place the en-
phasis on economy and smoothness
not at the expense of speed or
acceleration, but in addition to those
features, said Hadley. And by
economy, we mean fuel and oil
saving and long engine life. This to-
gether with smoothness were the
reasons why the multi-rangc four
speed transmission and gear shift
was designed by Chrysler engineers
for the Imperial, "1.' and "70'
models.
cit IS generally conceded that
doubling the speed of any car with
out shifting gears results in four
times as many destructive forces TO
the engine. Destructive forces are
the pressures that cause wear cx-
erted on moving parts such as
pistons, connecting rods, valves, etc.
A saving of 900 revolutions min
ute in engine speed often cuts de-
structive forces in half, and vastly
increases engine life.
"Transmissions in motor ears reg
ulatc the relation or ratio of engine
speed 10 ear speed. Chrysler four
speed transmissions provide rela
lively slow engine speed for high
car speed to the fourth gear which
means quieter and smoother oper-
alton and longer engine life. The
roar of the engine is absent in fast
driving, and owners are often sur
prised at the high speed registered
on the speedometer, because of the
quiet engine.
In the Chryslcr transmission, the
third gear is for noiseless accelcra-
tion, and the fourth or higher gear
for smoothness and economy.
Actually. there is approximately

We have not consulted any chamber of

AIDED HOOVER

NEW YORK, July 10. U.D-Thc
two sentences of Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew Mellon which
swung the presidential nomination
10 Herbert Hoover in the hotly-
fought Republican convention at
Kansas City, were revealed today
by Will Irwin, close friend and bio
grapher of the president.
Irwin, in an article in the Am

though Hoover landslide seemed
to be on, his nomination was by no
means assured two days before the
final vote, when Secretary Mellon
arrived at the convention city.
Bitter.end supporters of Calvin
Coolidge, and boosters for Charles
Z. Hughes, met Mellon at the sta
ton and hurried him to confer
ence in n hotel room. They were
willing to make it lottery. If
Mellon would name any candidate
except Hoover and would throw the
Pennsylvania vote his way, they
would unite to support him.
But gentlemen, | have already
said I favored Hoover" Mellon re-
piled mildly. "Wasn't my languag &C
