"GERMAN LEADERS .+ LOOK TO-FUTURE Training of Youth Is Problem Occupying Attention of Teutons. BERLIN, (#).—Training the juvenile mind has always been a great German specialty. ‘The World War has upset many preconceived notions here, but with | characteristic German thoroughness the leaders of the nation have applied themselves to the question what can be dene for the coming generations so that the Fatherland may again arise a great nation of men and women, physically and mentally equipped to claim a place in the sun. Leave School at 14. Fourteen years is the age at which ‘working class children leave school in Germany and when the question of employment immediately comes to the forefront. Today there are in Germany about 9,100,000 young people between 14 and 21 years of age. What are they all doing? What are their aims and ob- Jects in life? In matters of this kind Germans take a long view. What to do with coming generations up to 1940 is al- ready engaging attention. Population figures, together with other facts re- lating to juvenile life and occupation, were arranged for an exposition which bore the name “Young Germany” and was located in the Bellevue Palace, once the property of the ex-Kaiser. System Ingrained. Almost the first question Mayor James J. Walker of New York was asked when he visited here last year was “How are you educating your young people in America?” His answer, “We don't—they practically educate them- selves,” surprised the Germans. System | is ingrained in the German mind, and | Germans prefer to have the channels well and truly laid to guide their youth to maturely considered destinations which in their judgment will benefit themselves, the state and the race. To establish an eight-hour working day and an annual vacation of from two to three weeks is a demand which is being insisted upon by the leaders of the “Youth Movement.” Run Own Organizations. Many big firms run their own welfare and sports organizations. In addition, advice centers are spread all over the country to assist boys and girls in ehoosing & career. Ingenious appliances are used to test quickness of eye ana deftness and steadiness of hand. In the past 12 months 123,000 boys and 50,000 girls secured situations judged to be peculiarly adapted to their physical conditions. The party system, political and religious, seizes hold of Germany's youth early in life. More than 4,000,000 young persons, boys and girls, belong to es- tablished societies, including the small | group of self-conifessed “Old Germanic Heathens,” who worship Wodan and whose emblem is the Hammer of Thor, the God of Thunder. “Who controls youth controls all,” gaid Chancellor Marx. AVIATION FLOUNDERS OVER LIGHT PROBLEM Present System of Night Beacons Is Not Considered Infallible. NEW YORK (#).—The extra dimen- sion of travel which birds, fishes, sub- marines and aviators alone enjoy— namely, change of height at will—is creating one of aviation's most difficult night lighting problems. How this disadvantage operates is described by Prof. H. H. Sheldon, chair- man of the department of physics® of New York University. Surface ships at sea and land vehicles travel on a fixed or known plane, so that warning lights may be flashed in that plane, with cer- tainty that the person approaching will enter the bright part of the bsam. But the aviator may come flying along far above or below the plane in which the aviation beacon is focused. { The problem is met at present by revolving a bull’s eye of light, so that its luminous pencil describes a cone in the sky, which the aviator sees because of /the illumination of dust or water vapor iparticles in the path of the beam. It ‘has the advantage also that a moving beam has been found much easier for a birdman to sight than a stationary y. % Rotation periods are timed so *hat yvh\tci?rs may distinguish one light from gnother. 'MUKDEN IS R'ESERVOIR OF IMPERIAL ANTIQUES ‘Connoisseurs Buying Paintings, Jades, Coppers and Bronzes in Open Market. MUKDEN (#).—Mukden promises to tccome a happy hunting ground for “ronnoisseurs of Chinese art works which Formerly were a part of the imperial falaces in Peking. 4 Wonderful old paintings worth for- tunes, great pieces of jade and thou- pands of articles in ‘bronze and of Porcelain are being offered for sale here 2n the open market, and no questions re asked as to how the objects reached he Manchurian capital. In fact, the antique business here is horoughly enjoying what is nothing short of a boom. New shops, whieh deal exclusively in wares from the Forbidden City, Peking, have been opening in the Chinese quarter of the city for weeks. Shoes with uppers made of paper fmay soon be on sale in this country. The new woven paper fabris is, it is claimed, very strong, washable and easily handled in the factory. It has 1t took 900 yards of silk and 7,000 yards of hemp rope to construct this 92-foot parachute, designed by Charles Broadwick of San Francisco, Calif., as a safety device for bringing disabled airplanes to earth. This world’s largest par- achute is capable of floating to earth a load of 3,300 pounds at seven miles an hour. Photo was taken at the Alameda airport in California during recent test. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, —Associated Press Photo. FISHERMEN SALT FISH FOR OWN U3 Selected Cod and Pollock Prepared for Winter Home Consumption. By the Assoclated Press. HARPSWELL, Me. (#).—Now is the time of year that the older fisher- men along Maine's seacoast re- ligiously carry out the annual salting down of cod and pollock. ‘This is the genuine salt fish that can- not be bought in stores—for it is pre- pared for the fisher families’ own use. The old-timers have a knack when it comes to preparing the Winter's supply of salt fish. In October or early November the fishermen save 300 or 400 pounds of se- lected cod or pollock from their catches. Some prefer the pollock for salting. The fish are trimmed of heads and tails, cleaned and the backbones removed. Next they are spread open, skin side down, and sprinkled with a fine grade of rock salt. Experts, usually will use only a certain grade of the rock variety. After 24 hours this free salt is thor- oughly washed off and the fish are spread on blakes, flesh side up to the “cure” in the wind and sun. None but skilled hands touch the fish from this point. At least twice a day the fish must be turned. The experienced fish curer can tell to a nicety what they need—so much sunshine, so much west or north- west wind, so much dry air and so much cooling shade. Keep Off Rain and Fog. Not for a moment must Fmpefly cured salt fish be touched by rains, fogs or damp east winds. In unfavorable weather the flakes are taken indoors for protection. At the end of 10 days or a fortnight, if everything has gone well, the fish will have been properly cured. In the process the fish will have be- come almost as hard as boards. But storing in a cellar or other cool place soon restores to them a mellowness that they retain all through the cold months. It would seem to be a fussy job. But, as some gourmets say, there is salt fish and salt fish. And those privileged to sit down at a feast of creamed salt fish and baked potatoes as served in the home of a veteran Maine coast fisher- man will find the repast of truly de- licious flavor. . AIR FORCE CALLED UNFIT. Australian Official Says Equipment Is Obsolescent. CANBERRA, Australia (#).—The Australian air force is not fit to under- take war operations owing to the ob- solete type of service machines in use, says Air Marshal Sir John Salmond in" his report to the Australian gov- ernment. He states the force has been estab- lished on a firm basis and developed on sound lines, but owing to the obso- lete type of service machines in use and the entire absence of reserve equip- ment he does not consider the force is fit to undertake war operations in co-operation with the army and navy. Americans Visit Africa. More than 10,000 Americans are ex- pected to visit South Africa next year, according to reports from Johannes- burg. Twelve special trains are being placed by the South Africa railways at the disposal of the first-three parties of tourists from this country who will visit the Union next year. During the present year 8,000 American toured that country. Girl Heroine Rewartied. For rescuing a youth of 19 and a girl of 22 while bathing in Belfast Lough, Scotland, 17-year-old Ingrid Yvonne Strahame Dow of Edinburgh has just been awarded a Carnegie Hero Medal. Miss Dow went to the youth's rescue when he was 120 yards from shore, then saved the girl, ‘after which she was taken from the water in already been tested for Summer and indoor wear and for infants’ use.

(#).—While Thomas A. Edison is attempting to grow a plant at Fort Myers from which he hopes the United States can | T. Morris| produce its own rubber, Carnegie, nephew of the late steel mag- nate, is carrying on an equally unique experiment near here on the production of oil from the Chinese Tung tree. Several years ago Mr. Carnegie, who is a student of botany and a large land owner on Cumberland Island, just north of here, obtained some of the Chinese Tung oil tree seeds and planted them on his estate. It was only a hobby for him, but still he believes the oil from nuts, which grew on the trees, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1928. could be luced in commercial quan- titles in this country. The trees grew and thrived, and he called in B. F. Williamson, a botanist from Gainesville, to assist him in their cultivation and care. Today the trees have matured, and the first experiment in crushing Tung oil from the nuts will take place this Winter at a refinery at Gainesville, Wil- liamson said. From the nuts Mr. Car- negie hopes to be able to produce an oil used in the manufacture of water- proof paints, varnishes and cloth, as well as compounds for the insulation of motors, dynamos and cables. If the experiments are successful, Mr. Williamson says, Mr. Carnegie expects to plant several hundred acres of his island estate in Chinese Tung trees and to carry out the manufacture of the oil on a commercial basis. Expert Sent to China. Possibilities of the tree first at- tracted attention of the consular serv- ice in 1908, when Dr. D. Fairchild, senior agricultural expert for the Fed- eral Government, was sent to China to obtain the best Tung tree seed to be planted and propagated in this country on the same parallel as that which proved the most productive in China. The young trees were planted along latitude 20 in the United States, Wil- liamson said, but no attempt was made to produce them on a commercial basis. Mr. Carnegie estimates that the mature trees will produce from 400 to WARDWAN PARK MOTILL * LLCCTION NIGHT DINNER DANCE TULSDAY Nov. 6% "~ 7.30P.M. ~—~ Election Returns by direct Western Union line and Radio Diner Parfait $2.50 Also A-La-Carte Fun Makers Wardman Park Orchestra 25 oil to the acre and| A veteran bicyclist of Belgium, Leon ontinue to bear for a period of | anderstuytt, recently speeded at near- ! b Iy 77 miles an hour, the fastest time ever made by a man and faster than balloon races for chari be- hyeldanl!el. e A any European express train travels.
