A Hundred Lives
is Storm Toll on
Europe's Coast
Scourged for Four Days by a Gale
of Hurricane Proportions
Marine Disasters Heavy
London, Nov. 26. The recurring
.hurricanes which have been, scourg
ing the west coast of Europe with
ruthleBS fury for four days had heap
ed' up tonight an appalling list of
marine disasters which Involved, per
haps, one hundred deaths and the
loss of a score of vessels of substan
tial tonnages.
While the furious gale had mod
erated considerably in the English
channel and over the French and
Spanish littorals, the storm still rag
ed tonight along the coasts of Bel
gium and The Netherlands. The Bel
gian lowlands, particularly suffered
inundations as the sea was driven by
the raging winds, overflowing rivers
and breaking down dykes to the
great distress of densely populated
districts. In England the liveB lost
ashore . were no great number, but
the property damage was great over
wide . areas. The shipping Intelli
gence tonight was full of reports of
gallant rescues of mariners from an
gry 6eas of abandoned or sunken
ships of unidentified derelicts, the
crew of which may or may not have
perished and of crippled craft crawl
ing perilously toward safe anchor
age.
Finest Rescue Feat.
The finest rescue feat, perhaps, was
the saving of the entire crew of the
German training ship Pommern.
Seventy-nino men, including sixty
six cadets, were taken off by the
German tug Heros when the school
ship became helpless near the Isle
of Guernsey, in the English chan
nel. The Heros fought to reach thei
men for twenty-four hours. Three
liners, also responding to the distress
calls, poured oil on the seas to aid
in . rescue. After several attempts a
rocket was fired from the Heros across
the Pommern, carrying a light line. .
One by one the members of the crew i
of the Pommern leaped into the sea
and were hauled to safety In the tug
along this line. They were then
brought to Plymouth.
British lifeboats between Montrose
and Torray during the past ten days
have been launched on thirty-four'
expeditions and have saved sixty
lives from shipwrecks.
A German steamer, this afternoon
rescued the entire crew of the Ger
man steamer, Kate Grammerstoft,
which was in a sinking condition and
now is derelict in the North sea.
Many ships have reported officers'
and seamen washed overboard and
lost. - An Italian steamer, at first re
ported to be the Segunto, but now
believed . to be the Salento, was
wrecked and all aboard were believed
lost. The Italian tanker Lucania,
which grounded in the Mersy river on
Sunday, lost both anchors, damaged
Its rudder and was adrift near the
bar" today. Tugs were, rendering the
tanker assistance. State Journal.

EMPLOYMENT RECORD GOOD
Washington, Nov. 27. Factory
employment and pay rolls during
October were' reported today by the
federal reserve board to have reached
the highest level since the early part
of 1927, - n.
"Revlewlrig the economic conditions
of the country, during October and
for the first three weeks in November,
the board, however, said that whole
sale commodity prices declined to
97.8 percent of the 1926 prices, re
flecting chiefly large decreases in
the prices of farm and food products
and hides and leather. Most of the
farm products recovered some of these
losses during the. first three weeks
of November, the report added.
: Average prices for October were
2 percent lower than in September,
the review said, but increases oc
curred in prices of pig iron, steel cop- -per,

Public School
Farm Training
to be Promoted
Future Farmers of America Organize
to Push Teaching of Agricul
ture Good for Everyone
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 24. A new
national organization, the Future
Farmers of America, representing a
movement among vocational agricul
tural students of the United States,
was set in motion at the thirtieth
annual American Royal Livestock
Show here this week.
It is a development from the Na
tional Congress of Vocational Agri
culture Students formed here two
ago. Its aim will be advancement of
vocational training in agriculture
through the public schools and stim
ulation of a wider interest in farm
ing and rural life.
Students of vocational agriculture
from 30 states engaged in the cattle
judging contests at the American
Royal this year. The judging teams
are selected from students who have
been most successful in making use
of the methods taught in the voca
tional agricultural courses.
Trip to Srow is Award
The trip to the show here was a
special award to team members in
recognition of their accomplishment,
and it was among these students that
the new organization was formed.
Leaders in the movement are Dr.
C. H. Lane, chief of the agricultural
education service of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education, and
C. M. Henry, agricultural member of
the board.
In addition to promotion of agri
cultural training in the public schools
of the United States, the purpose as
outlined by Dr. Lane and Mr. Henry
will include: Intelligent choice of
farming as an occupation; promotion
of a love of country life; encouraging
recreational and educational activi
ties for students of vocational agri
culture; promotion of thrift, co-operation
among students, scholarship
and development of leadership in farm
life.
Membership, which will be confin
ed to students of vocational agricul
ture, who may continue three years
after courses are ended, will consist
of four groups, arranged in accord
ance with the degree of training, ex
perience and achievement of students.
The groups will be designated "green
hands," "future farmers, " "state
farmers" and "American farmers."
Tests of Membership
Capacity to carry out agricultural
instruction, to earn and save money
and otherwise to meet the purposes of
the organization will determine mem
bershp status.
The Future Farmers' of America
will meet each year at the time the
American Royal Livestock Show is
held in Kansas City.
How such an enterprise as the
American Royal serves as an educa
tional agency for the breeding of bet
ter live stock and encouragement of
a deeper interest In agricultural pur
suits was emphasized by leaders in
this year's exhibition.:
It was declared also that the cattle
industry is now in a sounder position
than at any time since the close of
the World war.
Preliminary to the annual display
here was the series of local elimina
tion shows among 4-H club boys and
girls, principally in Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Illinois and Iowa.
LANDS SHORT OF HIS GOAL
Key West, Fla., Nov. 27. Leonard
S. Flo's attempted ! non-stop flight
from Walkerville, Ont., to Havana,
Cuba failed late today when the
youthful aviator was within less than
a hundred miles of his goal. Seized
with illness, after his long vigil at
the controls, Flo was forced to land
here at. 4:23 o'clock this afternoon
and was taken to a hospital. The
aviator refused to go to bed on ad
vice of a physician and went instead
to a hotel.
Before turning in for a rest, Flo
told the manager of the hotel he
owuld fly to Havana tomorrow morn
ing and after arrival in the Cuban
capitol would make ready for a non
stop flight from Havana to Detroit.
The landing was made at the air
port about six miles from the city and
hospital authorities said the aviator
reached there about 5:30 o'clock. A
physician said Flo's illness was due
to effects of capsuls containing caf
feine, taken by the youth to keep
him awake.
