Only occasionally does she talk
and then in breath sucking mono

Song Is Her Balm

Of "strang-a, and the separation

Chicago, Jan. With weird in
cantation through the condemned
chambers of the death house here re-
sound the sibilant echoes Of a dis
cordant lullaby as Mrs. ISABELLE Nitti
Crudellc lulls herself with the oplate
Of song to meet the hdngman's rear
embrace.
Dumpy and squat and with 10 re-
dceming gift of grace, the dumb like
little peasant woman marks time for
the grim reaper soon to claim her
on the seaffold in iury-meted pen
atty for numbering cher man.
Her dilemma presents an anomaly
Of tragedy since she is but a crea-
ture of primitive physical instincts
and seemingly incapable of mentally
| measuring the great cup of grief set
in store by the law.
Realities alone interest her Nor
has long heredity of habits as a
hard-working housewife been set
aside.
Works To Forget Doom
Each day, at her own request, she
finds outlet for the troubling yoke
of the death-watch by washing white
the flagons Of her cell and meticu-
lousy busting the wire meshing

Nineteen hundred and thirty four
will see Californians boarding ships
in San Francisco and Los Angeles for
Chicago.
Seattle lumber will be carried by
water from Puget Sound to Clcve-
land.
And products of the midwest and
east will be loaded on ocean-going
vessels along the Mississippi River
and Great Lakes for all parts of the
world.
This is the prediction Of organiza-
tions now working on projects which
will, in effect, increase the shore
line Of the United States 5000 miles.
Backers of these projects forecast
complete revolution in American
transportation meth DDS, lower costs
of tonnage, elimination of rehandling
and therefore stimulation of der and
for all middle west products
"St. Lawrence Project is the des-
ignation given the plan to make
Great Lake points ocean ports.
"Gulf-to- Lakes" is the plan by
which the Mississippi Valley AsSo-
citation and the Illinois Waterways
Commission seek to open the MiSsis-
sippi, Missouri, Ohio and Illinois
Rivers to seagoing vessels.
Fifty miles of rapids along the
on nt.bn, of hn 81 n
River is natures barrier between the
Great Lakes and the ocean. The pro-
jecteG international Improvement
would provide a channel % feet deep
from the Great Lakes to salt water
by series of locks and dams around
these rapids.
The cost is estimated at S232,726,-
600. The electric power to be de-
vcloped at the dams is expected to
maintain and, eventually, to pay the
cost. Also.- it will stimulate traffic
through providing cheap power for
manufacturing.
At the outset, 1000 miles Of rail-
road transportation and handling
Of goods in costly, congested termi-
nails is eliminated. The route puts
the vessel in tidewater at Montreal,
400 miles nearer Liverpool than is
New York.
Without this improvement, 242-
foot vessel, the Backs Bay, success
fully made trip from Seattle,
Wash, on the Pacific Coast, to Chi
cago, on Lake Michigan.
Completion of the Marseilles Lock,
first of five similar locks to be built
by the Illinois Waterway Commits
sion, marks another big stride in
the plan to give Lake Michigan and
the Mississippi River ocean traffic.
The state of Illinois is expanding
$20,000,00O to make the Illinois and
Desplans Rivers navigable. l.. is
also opening manufacturing posi-
bilities through generation of cleo
trio power at these dams and locks.
The government, through the
Mississippi Valley Association, is
asked to spend s6O,ooo,00O on the
other features Of making the Mis-
sissinpi one Of the worlds greatest
marine highways. A nine-foot chan
mel, 200 feet wide, i. sought in the
Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to
permit wider use of the federal
barge system, by which huge train
loads Of freight, loaded on barges,
is showed with ease by one small
steamer, at extremely low cost.
