Give her a bag and belt set, gloves, a scarf, glamor- ous fur cape and hat or some such item to freshen up her wardrobe, and rest assured that your gift will be appreciated.
 First of all, look at bags. A girl seldom has an adequate supply of them adn even if she hasfi she'll love and find good use for one more. Fur bags are the latest ac- cessory innovation and to comple- ment sports or informal daytime suit, they can't be beat.

 Q. Will see Bob soon?
 A. Leo people love to rule, but this rule is with the heart rather than the head. Sometimes their friends mistake their warm mag netic nature for aggressiveness and are at loss to know how to han dle them. They themselves wonder at their own irritableness at times. They dislike tasks calling for man. ual labor, and are at their best when working mentally. So figure accordingly. Your love is intense and loyal. The man that gets you for wife will never make a mis- take. I wish I knew Bob's birth date then I could probably give you some information. But, here let me add there is nothing you can't find out for yourself. Napo- leon was born under your sign. But don't think for one minute Bob is your Waterloo"

UNDERSECRETARY
DESIRED BY ICKES
"Iron Man" of Cabinet Wants
Aide to Assist in Many
Duties.

Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior, P. w. A. administrator and
oil administrator, wants an under
SECRETARY, it was learned yesterday.
His request is reported to have re-
ceived the approval of the Budget
Bureau.
With an undersecretaryship, the
Department of Interior would rank
with the State, Treasury and Agricul-
ture Departments, all of which have
undersecretaries. The undersecretary-
ship of Agriculture was created by
Congress last Spring and is occupied
by Rexford G. Tugwell.
Because of his multifarious duties,
Mr.. Ickes, early in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, became known as the
iron man. of the cabinet. He has
two assistant secretaries, Theodore A.
Walters and Oscar L. Chapman, as
we'll as personal and administrative
assistants. However, with an under
secretary, Mr.. Ickes would be able to
rid himself of few of his duties.
His plea for an undersecretaryship
is reported to be predicated on the
conversion of P. w. A. into a perma-
nent division of the Interior Depart
ment. The President has not indicated
whether or not he intends to leave
P. w. A. under Mr.. Ickes. However,
apart from P. w. A. as a whole, a
great expansion of conservation work
Is expected within the next few years.

TRAFFIC ARTERY
ON CANAL URGED
New Highway Is Pushed by
Roberts as Georgetown
Bypass.

Development Of a traffic artery
along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
to serve as Georgetown bypass will
be the object of campaign by Will
liam A. Roberts, peoples counsel, he
announced last night.
The idea, he said, was suggested at
the public hearing of civic leaders
last Wednesday to discuss numerous
phases of proposals for rerouting of
lines of the street car company. Rob-
erts said he would urge District Off
cials and members of Congress to
foster the plan.
He sees the possibilities of worth
while improvement of the traffic
movements to and beyond Georgetown
in this plan, which would benefit the
street car service, as well as the pri-
vate automobile owners.
Canal Fill Is Urged.
The proposal is that the District
acquire the section of the canal from
Rock Greek to point beyond George
town, where the proposed canal road
way could be connected into Foxhall
road. This would be accomplished
by filling in the canal for this Sec
ton and building there traffic way.
He suggests "clover-leaf" turn, to
be built at Key Bridge, so as to pro-
vide good connections with the bridge
for traffic to and from Virginia, with
out causing lines of traffic to inter-
sect. The proposed canal roadway
itself would run at a level below the
approach to the bridge.
Such roadway would enable
through traffic to reach Key Bridge
without passing through the heavily
travelled M street and Pennsylvania
avenue. The eastern connection would
be with the roadway in the Rock
Creek and Potomac parkway. Thus,
he explains, traffic from the business
section could swing through South
west Washington and enter the new
traffic way, after crossing the bridge
in the parkway, and then travel with
out interruption west, either to Key
Bridge or Foxhall road.
Traffic Tightening Seen.
Such plan. he argues, would
tighten traffic on M street and Penn
sylvania avenue. Estimates of the
cost of the proposed project are not
yet in hand, he added.
A similar scheme for trafiic through
Georgetown already is on the tenta-
tive plans of the District, for the OPEN
ing of Prospect avenue from the inter-
section of Twenty-ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue to Wisconsin
avenue, and connection Of Prospect
avenue to arteries to the west. This
would serve Is Q high level bypass tor

BASE SITE SOLD
Hope for Use of Tract Near
Alexandria for Oceanic
Tests Is Shattered.

Although the administration Is
said to be planning to ask Congress
for authority and money to aid in
establishment of transoceanic air
service. hopes for establishment of
transatlantic airship terminal near
Washington were shattered last night
when it was learned that the great
Hybla Valley tract near Alexandria,
Va, favored by DR.. Hugo Eckener for
the proposed base, has been sold to
Boston real estate firm.
DR.. Eckener has proposed that the
Post Office Department allow mail to
be carried on surcharge basis dur
ing an experimental three-month air
ship service between Germany and
the United States next Summer. It
had been hoped this service would lead
to a permanent ocean airship line
which would have its American termi-
nus at Hybla Valley.
No Sale Price Given.
While no formal announcement of
the sale of the Virginia tract was
made, it is understood the entire
holdings Of subsidiary Of National
Aviation Corp, which operates Wash
ington Airport, have been sold. These
holdings amount to 1882 acres. No
sale price was announced.
The Boston firm, said to be incor-
porated as the Alabama Realty Co.,
will not use the property for aviation
purposes, it was said. It probably
will be offered for subdivision.
Dr. Eckener made two visits to
Hybla Valley. which he character
lied as one Of the best natural airship
terminal sites along the entire Allan
tic seaboard. At his instigation, the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corp. established
q meteorological station there and
took daily weather records over q Pc
riod of nearly three years.
Passage Of Bill Awaited.
Construction of the terminal was
held up pending passage by Congress
Of the McNary-Parker merchant air
ship bill which would have set up
code Of law for international airship
operation and permitted carriage Of
mail by airship.
The amount of money the admin
istration will ask for the ocean air
service is said to be contingent upon
the status Of private plans for opera
ton. 1t would include not only the
proposed Atlantic service, but also the
proposed transpaciflc flying boat
service in which two concerns, Pan
American Airways and Inter Island
Airways, are cooperating.
