Some Of US who have learned
sewing In childhood seem TO have
an idea that the whole thing de-
Ponds on taking very little
stitches. We remember being
told by the sewing teacher to take
stitches SO small that they could
not be seen. and we sewed with
mtraculousIy fine needles and
thread that was hardly coarser
than = strand OF spider webbing
But this IL not the really impor-
tant matter. The ability to take
perfectly regular and perfectly
even stitches Is what really makes
all the difference. and sometimes
stitches may be ~ small that they
do not hold the material together
properly.

Bancroft Trouble

When George Bancroft visited
Washington a fortnight ago it
turns out he was hooking jack"
Bancroft stepped off the Para
mount Hollywood lot and came
East without consulting the
bosses. They are now saying
that his contract, which expires
in October, will not be renewed.
Bancroft's difficulty is over a
choice of roles. He is wearying
of the rough neck parts and
frets over the thought of being
catalogued as a type actor-one
who can only play certain kind
of part.

Question Faces Designer Of
 Strange Speed Vehicle

Hanover Germany, Dec. 3 tP) - Practical use of the cigar-shaped Zeppelin of the rails" designed by d Hanover engineer awaits an an swer to at least two problems.
 Will the propeller driven car round sharp curves speedily and safely. That is the first question: And if the car will travel around curves at great speed the next question is: How will it's trips made at the rate of 100 or more miles an hour fit in with existing train schedules?
 Thus far the rail Zeppelin" in vention of Dr. Franz Kruckenbere. has been tested only on a stretch of straight track leading out of Hanover.
 Actual experiments 10 start soon alone will tell whether as light a construction as that now devised by the engineer can round the curves at nearly the same speed
 
 straight track and still remain on the rails.
 Assuming the coach will prove its merits on curves. the next ob- stacle is its schedules.
 General installation Of the car. it is pointer out, would mean changing block signal systems, switches, automatic safety brakes, and other devices all of which now are adjusted for trains running up 10 75 miles an hour. The possibility Of separate tracks instead Of operating he Zeppelin Car over regular train rails is sug- gested,
 In devising his car Dr. krucken- berg was concerned primarily with constructing a vehicle that would couple economy with speed
 An electric car devised in 1903 achieved 8 maximum speed of 124 miles an hour, while the Hanover engineers car will travel only 113 miles.
