to discussion of the problems of to-

MINIATURE ART
N0VELH0BBY

Travelling around the world q
dozen-odd times has taught Rus
sell Hastings Millward a lot OF
things, among them that women
are the same all over, whether on
Fifth Avenue or in the highlands
of Guatemala. They all dress up
to get their man. and they usu'
ally do.
But the travelling has served an.
other purpose (the reason for this
story. It has formed the founda.
ton Of a valuable collection Of
miniatures for his daughter, Edna
Boyden Millward.
Mr.. Millward is an explorer,
He's been places where other white
men have never been. And wher.
ever he has gone he has picked up
the works of art in miniature of
the natives.
Why They Make Them
In Guatemala, he took away
with him the headdress of the
native women. Very beautiful:
the native women made them
themselves, and why?
'"GirlS are the same all over.
Among us. they use cosmetics to
make themselves beautiful. In
Guatemala the Indians dress
themselves up with this head
dress. All to get their man."
In Miss Millward's collection
her explorer father refuses to have
anything to do with it; he says
it's all herS-there are miniature
dolls not more than three-eighths
of an inch long, orange wood cary
ings much smaller than that;
vegetable ivory carvings that
aren't much bigger.
From Ecuador, there comes the
smallest altar set, replete with
chalice, communion cups, incense
burner and flower vaSeS-all made
from paper-thin vegetable ivory
Only IL in World
The orange wood carving col.
lection contains q set Of figures
so small they must be examined
under a magnifying glass. Mr..
Millward explains:
"There are only IL Of those
in the world. They were made
especially for me by . native
girl in Colombia. Six Of them
are in the Museum Of Natural
History in New York and I
have the other six"
The girl that made them, Mr..
Millward explained, is "only one
generation from savagery."
The collection includes the
smallest book ever published in
the United States, a compilation
of the addresses of Lincoln. The
book, which contains 100 pages,
Is much smaller than a postage
stamp.

EROSION TEST
T0BEMADE

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May
A. Soil erosion demonstration
area for the Ivy River watershed
has been approved by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, it was an
nounced today by Lyman Carrier
of the Federal Soil Conservation
Service.
The area comprises approx
mately $4,000 acres on which there
are located about $50 farms. The
first action will be to make aerial
maps, and then agronomiSts will
be placed at work, classifying the
soils and degree Of erosion.
All this information will be
placed on the maps, and then crop
experts will go into the district and
decide what crops should be raised
to keep the soil from washing
away and to freshen the soil.
Farmers have agreed to carry out
this planting program for the next
five years.
Carrier pointed out that in re-
cent years 250, 900 acres of Virginia
farm land have been made useless
through erision, and for this rea-
son the Government is vitality
interested in . solution Of the
problem.

HOUSE T0DITCH
NEARLY ALL
DC. BILLS

Hope for House action at this
session of Congress on any Dis
trict legislation except the red
rider" repeal bill was virtually
abandoned today in view Of the
existing parliamentary situation.
Having lost its last District Day
in the House, the District Com.
mittee chieftains are striving to
obtain House leadership consent
for two more days for considera-
ton Of local legislation, but 1t
Is virtually conceded that it will
take the full time Of both Of those
to dispose of the l"red rider" re-
peal measure.
Farm Bill Put Ahead
May II. which ordinarily would
be a District day in the House,
will be given over to consideration
OF the Frazier-Lemke initiation bill.
However. Speaker Joseph Bryns
has promised Representative
Mary T. Norton cd Of New Jersey,
chairman of the House District
Committee, that he will do every.
thing possible to set aside some
other day shortly thereafter as q
District day.
May Is also Is a regular District
day, and it is expected that the
District Committee will be allowed
to go ahead with its program on
that day. Beyond that, however,
plans are indefinite, since it is the
hope Of congressional leaders that
Congress will adjourn in June,
eliminating any possibility Of the
Districts having additional time
to dispose of its legislation.
Delays Hinted
Opponents of the red rider"
measure have said they will use
every legitimate parliamentary
method to prevent final DISPOSE
ton of the repeal bill, and if they
inject dilatory tactics it is doubt
full that the bill can reach the final
vote stage even by the end of the
day May IS.
Since Mrs. Norton and her col"
leagues on the District Committee
have asserted that they will not
bring other local measures before
the House until the repeal bill is
disposed Of, it is almost beyond
expectation that other District
legislation will be considered dur
ing the present Congress.

Deaths
Are NOW on
Decline
International News Service

A steady decrease in the infant
mortality rate during the past five
years was reported today in a
survey by the United States Public
Health Service.
Studies conducted in 26 States,
the District of Columbia and Ha-
vail disclosed that the average
fatality of babies in 1885 was only
50 per 1000. This compares with
So per 1000 the preceding year
and so in 1881.
OF the States surveyed, Connecti-
cut proved the healthiest area for
infants. Only 80 out of every / 1000
died in infancy there last year.
South Carolina, with 80 deaths per
1000, was the highest in infant
mortality, followed by Georgia
with SO, and Louisiana with IS.
A fractional drop in the ma
tons death rate was evidenced
last year, according to the survey.
The mortality rate from all causes
in 1885 was 1913 per 1000 in 1885,
compared with 1919 in 1884. In.
crease in pneumonia and menin-
gifts fatalities and a decrease in
the tuberculosis death rate was
repotred.

the commission so that all sites
under consideration would be
given an equal chance, but con-
siderable argument had prevailed
in the past few days pointing
toward selection Of Gravelly
Point,
It has been stated by member
Of the Commission that the trend
in aviation toward aquaplaneS
and the necessity Of providing
adequate water for landing would
be strongly considered. It is
pointed out that in this respect
Gravelly Point would give the
proper facilities. Probable trans
oceanic flying as a regular pro
gram within the next few years
would make it imperative to have
an aquaplane landing near the
Capital, it is said.
Another argument reiterated
continually in favor of Gravelly
Point is the chance to cut the
cost by taking advantage of the
Federal Governments proposal to
deepen the channel in the Po-
tomac River. The dirt from this
project could be used for filling
in the necessary acreage at the
Point.
Several members Of the Com.
mission had hoped to have the
report on the site on hand for
action by this Congress but it is
believed now that the report will
not be ready until fall and con-
greSsional action will be delayed
until next January.
