the advice Of Fuehrer Adolf Hit

sents to give any written
pledge" that no more Italian

dictators meet today at Munich.
1t was authoritatively stated
that Britain has informed Italy
that she fully supports Frances
demands for immediate withdraw
al of all Italian volunteers from
Spain.

she believed it was desirable to
hold tri-power conference on
the matter.

a Glands off Spain" pledge from
Italy was expected to be receiv-
ed within a week, probably soon
after II Duce returns from his
German junket.

OAKDALE'S GLASS COVERED
VAULT SOON WILL BE SEALED
Thousands Have Been At
tracted to Unique Tomb
in 30 Years

The glass-covered vault in Oak
dale cemetery, long a spot of in
terest to visitors and local pepole,
will be sealed up in the very near
future, it was learned today.
Built at the cemetery more than
80 years ago, the vault is of brick
construction and is built above
ground. 1t was the nrst such vault
constructed there above ground.
1t is the last resting place OF
the former Miss Leila Davidson,
and the small glass plates used in
the top of the vault were inserted
at her request, it being her desire
to be buried so that the sunlight
might enter her tomb.
This feature of the vault was
entirely unique, and the vault in
the more than 80 years it has been
at the cemetery has attracted
thousands and thousands of peo-
pie. Through the small glass win
dows, the interior of the vault may
be clearly seen.
A little water, poured over the
glass, assists in seeing into the
tomb, and it is this fact that has
led to its being covered. Officials
stated that many people expecto-
rated upon the glass in order to
see better and it is for sanitary
reasons that the top will be COW
cred. .,
The top will be covered by the
addition of two-inch slab of con-
crete, which will be installed with
the consent of relatives of the de-
ceased woman.
