 TaiIOr-Made Turkeys
 The turkey you eat next Thurs day is likely to be quite different from the fowl on your Thanks giving table a few years ago.
 Experiments at the Department of Agriculture's research farm at Beltsville, Md, have bred smaller size, tender meat, chunkier drum sticks. The Department takes it's breeding experiments very seri- ously, for turkey raising is 8 $50,000,00O industry with plenty of room for expansion if more useful birds can be produced.
 While the research farm works toward breeding birds that will have wider selling appeal, the Bu- reau of Home Economics tests the eating qualities of the birds and how best to roast them.
 Chief sales obstacle Is that turkeys are too big. The average small family doesn't want . 15- or-26 pound bird that lasts a week. Killing young turkeys does not meet the demand, be- cause they have little meat in proportion to weight.
 Stanley J. Marsden, in charge of turkey breeding at the re- search farm, has developed a smaller, fully grown bird that has a high proportion of meat. The plump newcomers weigh as little as six pounds, with plenty of white meat and chunky drum sticks. They mature early, have a high egg productivity and low mortality rate.
 Big Turkey Roast
 Each year, several weeks before Thanksgiving, Marsden butchers 125 of his various breeds of tur- keys and sends them to the Home Economic Bureau for a big exper- imental roast. For days the halls of the Bureau are filled with ec- static odors as experts and lay- men conduct their tests.
 Each bird is roasted separately with different kinds of stuffing, but no seasoning whatever is used. This is done to test the natural flavor of the meat itself.
 The tasters do no g0rging. They chew mouthful of meat, but do not swallow it, then re- cord their. sensations of . print ed blank. They also put down their opinion of the appearance of the turkey, its aroma, the gravy, stuffing and trimmings.
 The reports are sent to Mars den to guide him in new breed- ing experiments. The cooking ex- perts of the Bureau also use them to compile new cooking hints for housewives. Following are the latest evolved by the experts:
 1. Put the turkey in the roast ing pan with the back, not the breast, up and turn frequently.
 2. Keep the oven at a moder- ate constant temperature Of be- tween 300 and $50 degrees Fah- renheit, instead of starting 1t off very hot and. then lowering the temperature.
 Habla EspanOl?
 Washington phot ographers found Cuba's Strong Man Batista one of the most obliging subjects they have encountered in 8 long time. They "shot" him from every angle, a dozen times a day, in- doors and out, in civilian clothes and in uniform, with medals and without.
 When he came to see President Roosevelt, the cameramen stop ped Batista on the White House steps, posed him with Cuba's Am- bassador Martinez Fraga. Seeking an action picture the boys called out, Say something, Colonel"
 Turning to Fraga, Batista grim ned broadly, said in Spanish, DO you speak Spanish?"
