Favorite Itullan Summer Resort "Located almost 700 feet above ea level, at a particularly breezy place on the lake, Stresa is cooler in sum mer than most of the nearby villages. Railway trains and steamers bring throngs of travelers to rest In Its palatial hotels and villas, to listen to band concerts, and to stroll along the quay, watching regattas and fish ing boats. The lapping of sunny water on stone, and the rhythmic dip of oars, mark the tranquil tempo of ex istence in Stresa. "Anions Stresa's attractions for tourists is a cogwheel railway leading up the graspy slopes of nearby Mt. Mottarone. From the mountain top, 4892 feet above sea level, can be seen eplendid vistas of snow-capped Alps, and at least six lakes. On clear days, the cathedral of Milan looms up out of the Lombard y plain. "Along the lake shore south of Stresa. small villages cluster around tiny harbors: vine-clad villas are spilled like pink, blue, white or yellow mints in the midst of gardens blazing with color. "Lake Maggiore. with an area of about 82 square miles. Is Italy's sec ond largest lnke. The tipper fifth of It lies in Switzerland, the remaining four-fifths in Italy. At the north end of the lake, into which pour floods of melted snow and ice from the Alps, the water Is green. Toward the south, the lake becomes bluer, until, in the roadstead of Stress, skimmed by fishing boats and row hoats arched over with gay awnings. the water Is turquoise and sapphire.

They are named for the noble, ancient Borro meo family, to which three of them have belonged for centuries. Isola San Giovanni, nearest the mainland, is the smallest. Isola Madre, the lar gest, was the first of these Islands to be planted with luxurious vegeta tion by the Counts of Borromeo. Today, its villa crowns a garden ris ing up in five terraces, where white peacocks wander among orange and lemon trees. "Most famous of the Islands la Isola Beltila. within easy rowing dis tance of Stresa. Until 1650 the island, except for a few buildings, was a barren rock. To Count Vltallano Borromeo, artist as well as warrior and diplomat, goes the credit of con verting it Into a world -renowned beauty ?pot. In soil brought from the mainland, he planted an amazing array of subtropical trees and flow ers, creating a garden of ten terraces. The lowest rests on piles driven In . the lake bottom. The highest rises 100 feet above the lake. "In spite of their 'enraged rococo" style, the opulent gardens, hung be tween blue water and bluer sky, pos sess a charm that draws throngs of visitors annually. Isola Bella has been praised by Dumas and Wagner. Wear ied by cares of state. Napoleon fled here to rest and enjoy family life.

"Owned not by noblemen, but by fisher folk, and lacking both palace and elaborate garden, Isola del Pes catorl Is the humble Cinderella of the four Borromean islands. Yet it Is possibly the most picturesque. Its quaint, medieval-iooking village, al most covering the island, Is a Mecca for many water-colorists. Houses with brownish-red roofs, and with gerani ums and carnations bunched on their wooden balconies, crowd each other along narrow streets. On outside staircases, women sit gossiping in the j sun, or watching men playing boecle. ; a game played with wooden balls. Black fishing boats rocking at anchor and long nets spread out to dry on the shore furnish the means of liveli hood for the Island's Inhabitants, "Once a year an Interesting festival takes place. All the fishermen row to the center of the lake to watch the setting free of myriads of finger ling trout, from the Borromean fish hatchery.

Brand, president of the Oregon Bar asso ciation, today reiterated his state ment that Oregon has not so much as a "plausible pretense" of a proper system of supervision of paroled convicts. Dan Kellaher of Portland, state parole officer, had written Judge Brand demanding a retraction of criticism the Coos bay Jurist had made of the Oregon parole system at a recent crime conference in Port land. In response. Judge Brand declared he had not attacked Kellaher or any other state official but simply had pointed out what he described as defects under which courts in Ore gon are required to operate, and that he had criticized Injudicial methods of pardoning exercised by certain governors of Oregon In the past 12 years. In his reply to Kellaher Judge Brand cited figures to show that many pardoned convicts have served from one to seven additional terms in prison and that of 308 pardoned In Oregon in the past 12 years. 48 have served time since the original release. Regarding the supervision of par oled men. Judge Brand said the state parole officer has far to much to do In taking care of 591 es-con-vlcts since the federal government statistics have proven that 60 . men are all that can be adequately hand led by one officer.

SWEM'S GIFT SHOP ' On Mnin Street" SILVER PflMTIMIirQ SWING lUf EH PRICES' rTvJ NEW YORK, April 13. fAPi The bull market in silver metal rolled merrily a'ong in the world's princi pal markets todny. In the New York free market, the ! price of silver bullion Jumped , cents an ounce to 684 eent. the highest price since July, 1986. This waa preceded by a similar rise in London, which carried the ! price there to the New York equiva lent of 68 43 cents an ounce. Today's rise narrowed the margin between the world price and the new price of 71.11 cent which the treasury is paying American mines for newly produced metal. It was assumed in silver circles that as soon as the treasury's price la equalled by the world price, the treasury will make another boost. At today's level, the metal was nearly triple Its depression low of 34 cents, touched in 1932. The further rise In prices was said to have been Inspired in part by the assertion of 8enator Plttman, veteran leader of the sliver bloc, yesterday, that President Roosevelt proposes to lift the price in orderly fashion to its old statutory level of 9139 an ounce. If the world price of silver gets to that level. It will be the first time in over half a century, with the exception or the 1919-20 post war inflation period. TALENT. April 12.

Kettering, automobile scientist. Unlike most of the new apparatus for raising body temperature to fever height, this fettering chamber uses no radio waves. It causes the fever by air heated elertrlcally to temper atures of 160 to 170 degrees In a humidity of 35 to 60 degrees. The animals stand this excessive heat without too much discomfort and apparently human beings are cap able of doing likewise. The heat raises the body temper atures of the animals to fevers rang ing from 105 to 107 dogroes. Heat treatment lasts four to five hours. The treatments are well spaced and the greater number given so far have been half a dozen spread over a period of three months.
