PLAZA
NEARLY DONE

WASHINGTON, July "a. ;U.P;-
The vast Capitol plaza develop
ment program, including the state
ly Supreme Court building, is near
ing completion. 1t would be prac-
tically completed should $5,0O0,000
be forthcoming from the public
works fund for an annex to the
Congressional library.
The plaza now contains the house
and senate office buildings, the re-
Gently completed annex to the
house office building and the Su-
preme court structure.
The proposed library annex would
be next to the gracefully propor-
toned Folger Shakespeare memoir
ial, and conform to that building
in architectural type. 1t would in
crease the book capacity of the IL
brary by 100000 volumes.
Should the annex be completed,
but one item on the program would
be left-namely extension of the
central section OF the capitol build
ing into the plaza. This extension
was contained in the plans for the
capitol after the House and Sen
ate wings were built. AT present the
great capitol dome practically over
hangs the east portico.

MEXICO WATTS
FOR TOURISTS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July "a
U.P'-Heayy fall motor tourist traf-
tic to Mexico City is expected by
w. H. Furlong, manager of the
highway department of the cham
Der of commerce here. Furlong has
been in conference with Lon Leo
poldo Farias, director general of the
federal highway commission OF
Mexico, on the matter
Fall is fixed for the heavy traf-
tic because, the rainy season in
Mexico usually ends then. Every
effort is being made to complete
as much of the road construction
on the an-American highway as
possible by that time.
The rainy season this summer
has been unusually late. Work is
being rushed before it begins, but
construction will go ahead despite
the weather.
Furlong suggests that those PLAN
ming the trip schedule it so their
driving will be by daylight. Thi;
is for a double reason. One is
for enjoyment of the mountain
scenery and the other is because
of danger. Parts of the road have
been dynamited out of rock noun
tain sides. To leave the road
would mean a precipitous drop. Fog
is nightly occurrence, making
night driving hazardous.

MUSSOLINI TO
MAKE CHANGES
IN POPULATION
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

Unlted PreaS stair Correspondent
ROME, July "a - MusSolini now
has taken up the task of figura-
lively leVeling off the mountains to
take care of his increasing popula-
ton.
Today this has become a prob
lem. Wherever possible, thousands
Of villagers are being persuaded to
abandon their homes inconVenient-
ly located on mountain tops and
settle on level land. In many cases,
and especially in southern Italy,
this has been successful.
The present drive concerning the
mountainous regions embraces re-
forestation plans, adequate pastur-
age space, gardening and finally,
cattle breeding.
No less than one-third of the
Italian communes, numbering 1911
to date, are perched on mountain
tops. One-fifth of the entire pop
rlation, or approximately eight mil
lion people, live about the decrepit
walls OF the mountain villages, and
80 per cent maintain themselves
wholly through what little profit
can be made out of the woods and
pastures.
The dominant cause for the
preSent-day difficulties of the
mountain peoples lies in the dis
tlnct detachment between Glow
land" and highland economics.
Therefore, it is thought, to change
this as soon as possible will improve
conditions for the mountaineers.

DANCER LAUDS
YANKEE GIRLS

PARIS, July "a. W.P)-American
girls are beautifully built and seem
to be born supple, but they are
out-classed by European girls when
it comes to solo dancing, in the
opinion of Tllly Losch, 25-year-old
premier paller!na of the Vienna
Opera company.
Il don't know why it is," she
said, but life in Europe, with its
great stress on individuality seems
better suited than the more me-
chanical civilization in America to
produce solo dancers.
II do not think, however, that
any girls in the world can compete
with American girls when it comes
to choral or ballet work. Their
system of rhythm and movement
is perfect. They are beautifully
built and their bodies seem to be
born with suppleness in every move,
but the Europeans have it on them
for solo work"
Miss Losch became dancer at
six, but entirely by accident.
When she was %, Max Rein
hardt took Miss Losch to America,
where she starred on Broadway.
She also has been a favorite in
London. She is the protege of
Richard Strauss, the Viennese COM
poser.

FUR MAGNATE
STAR HURLER

ST. LOUIS, July "a. U.P)-An
rnSung hero of major league base
ball diamonds is E. C. Steffen, St
Louis merchant.
Steffen, well-to-do fur dealer
holds the recorG OF being a men,
to be big league pitcher, but he
Cardinals and tie st. Louis Browns
but his name never has appeared
in an official box score nor does
he receive a cent of salary for per-
forming yeoman duty on the piIcn-
ing mound.
Steffen s boyhood ambition was
to be big le&guep itcher, but he
never made the grade. Instead, he
entered the iur business and be-
came successful. His love for base
ball, however did not die out.
So daily at 1890 p. m., he has
his chauffeur drive him to Sports
man Park. When the Cardinals are
a. home, he wears Red Bird uni
form. When the Browns are here,
he wears their official reaglia.
For 80 minutes each day, Steffen
pitches in batting practice. Then
he takes a turn in the field to
shag flies.
Steffen takes his daily exercise
on the ball field in lieu of other
sports, golf or tennis.
He once played with Milwaukee
in the American association, but
his arm went bad and he never
realized his ambition of becoming a
major league hurler.

SIAM FIGHTS
RED MENACE

SAN FRANCISCO, July "a. U.P)
--InroadS of Communism have Sc
riously mterefered with moderni-
zation OF the government of Siam,
DR.. Phra Jan Virhivejj, medical
officer under King Prajadhipok, re-
vealed before sailing after tour
of The United States.
Siam has undergone two blood
less revolutions, which changed the
diminutive Oriental country from
cne Of the few remaining absolute
monarchieS into a parliamentary
government. The latter was mod
eled after that of Great Britain.
The change was made with the
secret approval of the king, third
in succession to the historic throne
ut Chulalongkorn. The youthful
monarch has been student of gov
ernmental affairs and was attract
ed by the American forn of govern.
.1ent during his visit to this coun-
try two years ago.
Owing to the strength of the
Communists in the new parliament
King Prajadhipok recently caused
d second revolution to occur in
Siam. He summarily suspended the
parliament without date.
Dr. Virhivejj, who is q graduate
of Johns Hopkins university, de-
clined to speculate whether sus-
pension of the parliament means
the end of that form of govern
ment.

SUMMER STUDY
NOW POPULAR

HARRISBURG, Pa, June "a up
Short summer courses supple
mending the regular school sessions
are becoming popular at 40 Penn
Sylvania colleges and universities.
The Department OF Public m
struction reported that enroll
mentS for summer study were at
their peak the first three weeks in
July, with nearly 17,000 attending
classes.
Summer sessions last year attrac-
ted 16,500 Stutents, a decrease of
less than 1000 from the previous
year. While enrollments this year
are expected to be lower, colleges
are increasing summer service ra-
ther than decreasing, the depart
ment said.
There is an increasing tendency
to offer short summer courses OF
two or three weeks each, immedi-
ately prior to or following the reg
ular session." the department said.

FRANCE HUNTS
RELATIVES Of
WAR ORPHANS

PARIS, July "a. U.Pj-More than
5000 young men and women, born
during the World War, are being
helped to determine their identity.
Ranging from Is to 20 years in
age, most OF them were born under
fire, their fathers and mothers la
ter killed, or scattered as troops
advanced or retreated. When the
waves of fighting receded, these
waits were picked up and lodged
in orphanageS or adopted.
The work of determining who
they are is one of the most difficult
tasks of the government, which is
aided by several private agencies.
According TO officials, the search
in most instances is for the grand
parents. Often clues originated IN
the sad work, continuing Is years
after the Armistice, of identifying
war dead in the former trenches
of the northern departments. Such
clues may take the form of an old
letter or photograph miraculously
preserved in a poilu's tunic.
Although the task of determin-
ing the antecedentS of war orphans
would discourage many professional
geneologiStS, the government yearly
reports hundreds of reunited bro
theirs and sisters, grandparents and
grandchildren, and, more rarely,
mother and child.

Texas Proven To
Be Large State

AUSTIN, Tex, July "a. (UP) -
Proposed redistricting of Texas has
brought forth some queer facts
about the state. TeXarkana is near
er the state capitals of Is other
states than it is to Austin. The
Is are: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Lou
iSiana and florida.
Residents of FL Paso, Tex, are
closer to Los Angeles than they are
TO Beaumont or Port Arthur, Tex.
Brownsville, Tex, is farther from
Dalhart, Tex, than Dalhart is from
North Dakota. Dalhart is nearer
the capitals of six o.her states
than it is to its own state capital.
Area compilations show the state,
with 262,398 square miles, to be
larger than pre-war Germany,
larger than France and more than
twice as large as England, Scotland
and Ireland combined.

AUTHORS ODD
HABITS SHOWN

CHICAGO, H., July "a. W.P)-
Strange habits of famous authors
are brought out in a striking man
ner at the Century of Progress,
where manuscripts of articles con-
tributed to til Encyclopedia
Britannica are on display.
Madame Curie uses a lavender
ribbon in her typewriter; General
PerShing once wrote such q vio-
lent sentence for the Encyclopedia
that it could not be used; James
Truslow Adams very frequently
misspells words; and Irene Castle
Mclaughlin corrects her manu-
scripts in green ink.
Those are only a few of the
things one learns in perusing the
exhibit.
There are original documents in
every language, ranging from Rus
sian to English. Trotsky's article
on "Lenin' is only a few PAGES
removed from Emil Ludwig s "Ho-
henzollern Dynasty and further
Oll, LII AlDCIG EllloICul > lIIle-

inence.
George Bernard Shaw, with his
usual pithy comments, has a typi-
cal letter on display. 1t reads as
follows:
Dear Sir:
I have to thank you for your
check for 2-9-0 lbs, but return it,
as I prefer to remain an honorary
contributor to the Encyclopedia and
retain my copyright.
should, however, like, as a
matter of curiosity, to know how
you arrive at the figure of two
pounds, nine shillings.
Faithfully,

JAPAN PEARL
CROP B00Ms

TOXIC, July "a. WR-The pearl
paintings in Japan this year, in
contrast to most crops, will be the
largest in years. More than 10000
acres of quiet waters have been
sewn with over 100000 pearl oyS-
terS, and thousands of people are
employed. The pearl crop being
planted now will not be harvested
for seven years. Millions of seed
pearls, or tiny bits of mother of
pearl, are skilfully inserted into
living oysters for the pearl crop.
The oysters slowly proceed to cover
these irritantS with secretion
which transforms them into pearls.
The oysters are placed In steel
cages and suspended few feet
above the floor of the sea from
great RATS. Twice year they are
brought to the surface, cleaned and
treated, to preyentd isease. Some
60 per cent of the oysters bear
fruit, but only about five per cent
are marketable.
The annual crop is valued at
several million dollars.
Among the japanese exhibits at
the Century of Progress fair is a
reproduction of Mount Vernon
made entirely of Mikimoto pearlsl
valued at $350,000. The model,
which is one and one-half feet in
length and six inches high, con-
tains 5,184 pearls and more than
10000 pieces of mother of pearl.
A feature of the model is the
American flag formed entirely of
1856 pearls, while the mansion IS
lawn is formed of 1920 pearls.
