16-FCOT PHOTOGRAPHS AID CHOICE OF STATUE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. - In pursuit of beauty, the Signal Corps of the U. S. Army has as- sembled the largest photographs ill it's history-a series of prints 16 feet 8 inches high and 16 feet long. They show sculpture contemplated for adornment of the Arlington memorial bridge spanning the Potomac River.
 Dissatisfied with the columns on the approach to the bridge because they interfered with the effect of the Lincoln Memorial close by, the Fine Arts Commis- sion decided to substitute sculp- ture. But before coming to a definite decision, the members de- sired to get the effect of the statues actually mounted on the bridge.
 Photographs of the finished statues were made in New York, sent to Washington and enlarged by the Signal Corps photographic section, by means of sectional pictures, into the heroic propor- tions of the originals.
 1 The huge photographs were mounted on the bridge. So clever fly was the work done that the pictures gave the exact effect of the finished statues.
 The Fine Arts Commission and representative of various firms of architects viewed the effect Of the photographs from various angles on a clear, sunlit morn ing. The sparkling Potomac, tht classic beauty of Lincoln mem. orial and the outlines of the new bridge were at their best. Tho selection of the exact pieces oi lsculpture to be used will rest with the judges.
 By using photographs instead
 of plaster reproductions, severa thousand dollars were saved. Int
 huge photographs were mad'
 from prints by 10 inches il l size. It took two men two
 working days to complete the jol land 527 square feet of photo Igraphic paper were used in thu process. The enlargement wal

 A brief radiogram received early today by j. c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs. from the Unalga. gave this information. It said the Unalga with the Starr in tow was off Gravina Point, Orca Bay, at IS am. This is but a few hours out of Cordova. It added that the Roosevelt was already in Latouche.
 The Roosevelt was towing the Starr to Seattle for repairs after running on a reef off Kodiak Is Hand and being picked up and tow ed to Seward by the steamer Ala meda.
 During a severe storm on the Gulf of Alaska, off Cape St. Elias Monday afternoon, the tow line be- tween the Roosevelt and Starr fouled the tugs wheel and was cut. The tug was powerless and the Starr went adrift.

ENGLISH BREAKFAST
 IS CAUSING CONCERN

KOVNO, Dec. 27.--The Eng lishman's breakfast, which has caused more than one govern ment to fall in London, is be- coming an economic factor in the lives of more and more eentin- entai countries.
 Europeans of the continent, for the most part. content them selves in the morning with a roll and coffee. They ship their ham, bacon, eggs and butter to Eng land, where breakfast is meal.
 Scandinavia, and especially Denmark. has long been source of supply fer the English break fast table. Since the war Am erica has converted the upper class Englishman to grapefruit, and the Chicago packers are plan ming to cure some of their bacon by the English method. The Eng lishman does not like his bacon in the Yankee manner
 Three Baltic States born of the war, Lithuania, Latvia and Es- thon a, in an effort t1 increase their exports sent agents tc Eng land to buy Shropshire pigs for breeding purposes. Where Lith- uanians bacon failed to please England. the ShropshirelLithuan- ian combination finds plenty of buyers. The first day Lithuanian bacon was quoted on the London market there was national re- | joieing, almost holiday.
 Even Soviet Russia contributes her share to the British break fast. There is butter shortage in all the cities of Russia, and many people say it it because the government exports much of the best of it's butter to Britain. The same is true of eggs The S0- viet government won't admit that it is exporting articles it's own people cry for. Nevertheless this correspondent while in Russia found only few Englishmer there, and half of them wsr, buyers of butter and eggs.

 Put plenty of nasal resonance into your lines" he says. "and steer away from words beginning or ending in s. Lines that record well for the talking screen are full of M and N sounds.'
 Song writers for many years, have followed this formula, accord ing to Kolb, who cites the national barbership anthem. Sweet Ade- line" as an example of the song writer's skill in putting an "N" or an "M' wherever nasal resonance will help the singer to finger over an accented note.
