ent site of the farmers market. due
to indecision over the selection OF a.
new site for the market.
This statement was, Issued today
by Col. ]. Franklin Bell, engineer

lowing an early morning inspection

site for the new one. followed by n
informal conference with Commits
sioner Cuno II. Rudolph.

Commissioners Bell stated that 1t
commissioners and James A. Wet
more, supervising architect OF t.le
Treasury Department, that the
western end of the market will be
surrendered January /, so that
building operations may commence
at that time.
Commissioner Bell today visited
the market at its busiest time,
observing the space. required and
the traffic conditions at the farm
ers' market and wholesale row.
Sees Waterfront Site
He then visited the proposed
waterfront site and also the naid-
city site, in the area now occu-
pied by Convention Hall market.
He closely Conserved the amount
OF space available for both. the
farmers market and. commission
merchants. The two are. insepa-
rAble, he thinks.
It will be necessary to utilize at
least 10000 feet of covered space
and more than 100000 feet of open
space. for the ] market alone. In
addition, there must be enough
available .privte space for the CON-
mission merchants, so that they
may move their business at the
same time, Colonel Bell thinks.
There must be a definite decision
as to the new location at the next
meeting Of the Capital Park and
Planning Commission in October,
Colonel Bell said. That is absolute.
| " necessary SO that the Commits
sioners may apply to Congress for
appropriations.
Against Temporary Site
Colonel Bell does not approve .of
a temporary location and thinks ii
quite improbable that one will be
necessary.
Colonel Bell went into details con.
corning the advantages Of the
waterfront site.

anything from sports to politics, that
will take up your thought; or
surprise her by changing your whole

Bare arms seem the prime offense
some cathedrals have different de-
mands for the foreigner and home
women. They demand longer skirts
of the former. but permit bare arms
which must be covered by their own
women.
The Scala Santa or Sacred
Stairway" at Rome for Instance, un
whose long flight of steps the devout
crawl step by step on their knees,
for the promise of a lessened stay in
purgatory for self and loved ones,
permits fairly short sleeves on for
eign women, but long ones on home
women. A placard in several Ian
guage, however, cautions all women
to carefully pull down their skirts
as they crawl on their bruised and
sore knees from step to step. Tiny
women clutch fearfully at their
skirts as they toll upward.

ward dress, overfiows into secular
