the photographs in advertisements,
and you will frequently see hands
CT this type.-but they are not so
common in real life.
Some girls have small hands and
short fingers. but the fingers are
well-tapered that is. they are some

tips than they ave at the base. With
this sort of hands the nails can ;e

be rounded somewhat and the nails
should not be as long as those worn
with longer fingers.
"Sensibie" Nails Always Correct
If you can't decide what type of
hands you have. study the hands OF
whether your own are longer or
shorter than the average. Perhaps
you never formed the habit of no.
ticing hands before. You will soon
learn to recognize the various types.
and to decide what class your own
hands fit into.
Of course, it's also we'll to consid
er your afcupation, in Shaping. your
nai4s. If you don't do any hard
work. it's easy TO keep the nails
long. But if you do II great deal OF
tipping or hOuSeWOrk. it's not wise
to choose long nails. as they will
frequently break or eSplit. Better
be satisfied with neat rounded fin

Some women have such perfect
features that they can cut their
hair short and wear it plastered
against their heads and still look
st ..ikingly beautiful. but if you and
j ried il. the results would be pretty
bad In other words the fact that
coiffLre is very smart and stylish
doesn't necessarily mean that il will
lock we'll on any person.
Most women realize that, but then
they turn right around anl think
that just because long. pointed ting-
erlais look nice on someone else,
they will he attractive on every
bOdy. That's not right. Your nails
+. must ''tit" your hands just as your
; clothes must be suited to your age
. an0 figure.
f, Short Nails for Blunt Fingers
Look al your own hands. If you
f, have SMALL, square hand with
! short, blunt fingers, II would be
ridiculous for you to wear extremely
pointed nails. which might look like
artificial claws stuck on the ends
of your fingers 1fnstead wesr your
nail, rather short and rounded. and
DOM lei them extend any farther
than the tips of your fingers:
If your fingers are broad and
/ somewhat square at the ends, b4t
still long. the nail shape should be
I! about the same as the first case
but The curve of the nails caIi~lse
longer so thar the oval projects

Water Front Work to Realize
Dreams of George Washington
Revolutionary Chief Hoped Capital on
Potomac Would Become Important
Port With Riuer Trade.

The plan OF George Washington and
other founders of the Republic in
establishing the National Capital at
the head of navigation on the Poto-
mac River so it might develop into
a sizeable port is finally due to be
realized, in the opinion of Army engi-
neers, who propose to begin improve
ment Of the Washington Channel
water front shortly. Local interests
expect that Secretary Woodring and
Maj. Gen Edward NJ Markham, chief
OF Army engineers, will allocate little
more than quarter of million
dollars to initiate the eight-year pro-
gram. Funds would come out Of the
rivers and harbors appropriation for
the new fiscal year. Congress already
has sanctioned improvement Of the
channel water front
Maj, Walter D. Luplow, district
engineer for the War Department
for the Washington area, will have
charge of the Improvement program
which contemplates facilities not only
for yachts and pleasure craft gen.
orally, but for steamboat piers, SC
that water-borne commerce will have
added conveniences here.

the job to completion"
Space Reserved for Pier.
c. A. CLANCY, senior structural
engineer in Maj. Luplow's office, ex-
planned today that the piers will run
from the bend of Water street, which
is slightly north Of Seventh and L
streets southwest, downstream to a
point just north Of o street southwest.
The area between O and P streets
southwest is reserved as a space for
future pier, should demand for it
arise.
The facilities are just as poor along
the Washington Channel water front
for steamers as they are for yachts"
CLANCY declared. We have no prefer
ence as between them-but want to
serve both equally we'll"
The Army Engineers propose to con-
struct in all six commercial piers,
under the approved project, counting
the ones the District Government
plans to use for Police and Fire De-
partments and the Lorton (Va.) Re-
formatory pier. The Norfolk g. Wash
ington Steamboat Co. is expected to
occupy one pier; another pier will be
utilized for excursion steamers and
there will be a commercial pier for
general use.
In keeping with the beauty Of the
National Capital, the Army Engineers
do not propose to encourage heavy
bulk waterborne commerce, Clancy
said, but will encourage package
freight and other commodities.
The Engineers consider 1t possible
that the Coast Guard and the Light
house Service each may want its
own pier later and this might cause
a rearrangement of the plan. The
Coast Guard has under consideration
the use Of pier near Seventh street,
Evening star., 1937-07-01

which might cause the rest of the
development to be moved a bit down.
stream. AS yet, 1t is understood, the
Coast Guard lacks authority to con-
struct its pier, but there is time, mas
much as this phase of the work will
not start until the second year of
the program.
One of the large piers originally
set aside for the District Government
has been split into two to make it
more serViceable. In this way, officials
said, more boats can tie up there, but
the plan has been rearranged SO all
the piers will be nearly of equal size.
The two new piers projected Just
downstream of the four yacht basins
will each be 300 feet in length, while
the four farther down the channel
will be $50 feet in length. All the
piers will be 100 feet in width.
in this wise, the Army Engineers
are looking forward to furnishing
the National Capital with a modern
port by l945, if the funds can be Sc
cured Immediately and the program
steps along at the rate that has been
mapped out. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
the Fine Arts Commission have ap-
proved the plans and now all that
remains for their execution is to have
the War Department allocate the
necessary money.
Evening star., 1937-07-01

that while the first years work
comprehends construction OF parts
OF two Of the four yacht basins and
the building of yacht sales and
service structure, the commercial piers
will be started in the second Years
work. The program has been so ar
ranged as to cause a minimum of
inconvenience to occupants of the
channel water front, many OF whom
have done business there for many
years.
Definitely We plan on making a
beginning on building the commercial
piers in the second year." declared
Schmitt. I'VE have had numerous re-
quests for suitable landings from
outside interests, to discharge bulk
cargoes, such as lumber and to bring
in excursion steamers from New Eng
land and other points. But at the
present time, We have no proper facili-
ties for this commerce and We have
to turn down several propositions on
this account.
We plan on making a start on the
yacht basins in the first years work
as that part of the program is more
easily organized to make a beginning
on. In this way we shall expedite
work later on the commercial piers by

MARITIME BOARD
TO STUDY WAGES
Hearings Scheduled to Start
July 1916 Subsidy
Agreements Signed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission will begin
Soon study of wages and working
conditions in the American merchant
marine.
1t will be the second step in the
substitution Of direct subsidies for
mail contracts of American ships in
foreign commerce.
A tentative schedule calls for hear
mgs on minimum manning and wage
scales to begin July l3 in New York.
Other hearings will be in Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, San
Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles. New
Orleans and Houston.
The merchant marine act of 1896
ordered the commission to include in
direct subsidy agreements a provision
that the operators agree to abide by
prescribed standards of wages and
working conditions.
Signs Subsidy Agreements.
The commission has signed subsidy
agreements with Is companies, Chair
man Joseph P. Kennedy announced
last night. They give the companies
subsidies OF about 80 per cent of the
amount they would have received
under their mail contracts.
The commission estimated the total
at S4,645,579, compared with S7,57O,-
908 which the mail contracts would
have provided in the next six months
the period covered by the agreements.
The subsidies are subject to recap
ture if the earnings of the subsidized
ship line exceed 10 per cent Of It's
fixed capital.
Kennedy expressed belief "substan-
tial sums" would be recaptured from
some lines.
Basis for Subsidies.
The subsidies are based on a COM
parison of operating costs with costs
OF foreign competitions. They are
intended to insure that American
ships can compete on an equal basis.
Kennedy said ISL of the 460 Ameri-
can ships in foreign commerce were
covered by the agreements already
signed.
Mail contract holders with whom
settlements have not yet been reached
are the Tacoma Oriental Steamship
Co, the American Line Steamship
Corp, Dollar Steamship Lines. Inc:
Munson Steamship Lines, United Fruit
co. and Waterman Steamship Corp.
The commission said a tentative
contract had been reached with Ia

Frank Vosper's
Nude BodyFound
On British Coast
Question Raised Is What
Became Of $4,000 He
Had on Shipboard

EASTBOURNE, Eng, Mar. 90.
(UP) A nude body washed
ashore near here was identified
today as that of Frank Vosper by
two relatives of the English actor
dramatist who disappeared mys-
teriously two weeks ago from the
French liner Paris.
The body, washed in from the
sea at Seven Sisters Cliffs, be-
tween here and Seaford was iden-
titled by the actors father, DR..
Percy Vosper of tanmore, and his
uncle, Maj. P. Vosper Of Peven-
sey Bay. The father viewed the
body while Major Vosper identi-
fed it from a photograph.
The fact that the body was un-
clothed aroused speculation as to
what happened to the $25, 10000 or
more Vosper was believed to have
been carrying when he leaped or
fell from the Paris after a gay
champagne party.
An inquest will open today.

pipeline.

Whose l7-year-old son died in the
explosion, nearly collapsed and

Golf and Country club, including
the landscaping of the clubhouse
grounds and relocating part OF
the road at the clubhouse, were
authorized last night at a meeting

The work was started today
and will be rushed to completion
Plans for the improvements,
which had been drafted previous,
ly, provide for the construction
of a short stretch of roadway
from point in the present en-
trance drive before reaching the
clubhouse to a point farther east
in the present road as it leaves
the ground. This will eliminate
the necessity of driving in front
of the clubhouse and will enable
the club to provide more commo,-'
dious and more convenient park
