RAIL CROSSING
TO BE CLOSED

ROCKVILLE, Md, Jan. s.-De-
spite the protests Of many local
residents the railroad grade cross.
ing on Norbeck road here will be
closed as soon as the new overhead
bridge is opened to traffic, 1t was
learned here today.
Petitions bearing the signatures
Of host of residents and business
people in the town have been sent
to the Maryland State Roads Com.
mission requesting that the cross.
ing be kept open to traffic even
after the overhead bridge is COM
pleted. ----
No consideration, however, will
be given to these petitions by. the
State roads body or to personal
pleas for a continued operation Of
the grade crossing, it was said.
Since the approaches to the new
overhead bridge follow an entirely
different route than the former
crossing, local residents stated in
their petitions that business would
be seriously hampered and many
residents Of East Rockville who
own property along the old route
will suffer serious devaluation in
their property.
Members Of the State Roads
Commission have pointed out that
the local crossing elimination prof.
ect is being carried out with Fed
eral funds and an agreement with
the Federal authorities and the
railroad company requires that the
crossing be closed when the bridge
is opened.
This crossing is the scene Of the
school bus-train crash in April

calculating perfect measurements,
and while these tables take
height into account they make
no allowance for variation in
structure.
The theory sounds good, but Is
rarely true, that q 30-inch bust
measurement goes with five feet
Of height, and that the bust
should exceed this basic measure
ment by the same number Of
inches that the height exceeds
five feet.
For example, while the 30inch
bust measurement is ideal for the
petite girl Of five feet, this meas
urement would be neither normal
nor flattering to the stockily- built
girl of the same height.
The variation in perfect bust
measurements for figures Of the
same height can be explained by
the difference in chest structure
and both measurements are
taken. The normal bust meas
urement may be from one inch to
two and one-half inches larger
than the chest.
The size Of the bust is, Of
course, affected by total weight
and extremes of either under
weight or overweight may be &C.
companied by an abnormal bust
contour. This fault may be par
TALLY corrected by a return to
normal weight.
Position Of the bust, however,
depends as much on the condition
Of the pectoral muscles, which lift
the bust or allow it to droop, as
on weight. These muscles may be
strengthened through corrective
exercise.
The waiStline comes next to
your measurement memo. The
waist should taper gracefully and,
for symmetry, should be at least
seven inches smaller than the
bust. You can get by with a six
inch difference. but Venus meas
urements showed a difference OF
nine inches!
AS for the hips, lovelinesS al.
lows this measurement to be two
inches larger than the bust. Any
extra hip inches, however, throw
your figure out of line, whether
you are short or tall-although an
excessive measurement in the
short figure is much more con.
spicuous than in the tall one.
These measurement ratios may
not set a standard for you, but
the chances are that symmetry
lies in the neighborhood Of these
portionate differences.
Your figure program will benefit
from weekly weight and monthly
measurement records, which al

Green Ordered to Press
War Against the G, I. O.

THE A. F. of L. executive coun-
l. Gil closed its conference in Gin
cinnati with the heads of affiliated
unions, after directing President
Green to push vigorously the cam
paign against Lewis and his c. I. O..
First steps were to order the Chi
cago and New York labor fedora
tiOnS to eXpel all unions affiliated
with tie Lewis organization. Sim
liar orders were to be sent to all
other central bodies and state fed
erations. The council also ordered
the collection of a war chest, all
members to pay two cents month
instead Of one cent for the national
federation.
The c. / o. replied with an
nouncement of a drive intended to
penetrate every industry which has
no organization or where existing
unions 'are not taking care of their
members" An impending contest
between the two factions is for con-
troll of the maritime workers.

with the papers for the duke to sign.
It was believed the settlement in
cluded the transfer to Edward of
part of the revenues allotted to
Princess Elizabeth, daughter of
King George VI, and heiress pre-
sumptive to the throne, from the
duchy of Cornwall until she comes
of age or marries.
In another respect the duke has
lost out. The last act of the Bald
win cabinet was to have the king
announce in the London Gazette that
Windsor was entitled to hold and
enjoy for himself only the title,
style or attribute of royal highnesS
so, however, that his wife and de-
scendants if any shall not hold the
said title, style or attribute"
AS one step in settling the dukes
official status, King George has be-
slowed on Edward special ban
ner as a knight of the Most Noble
Order of the Garter. The banner
has a label with a crown on it, sig
nifying that Edward is a former
king. 1t is hanging in the chapel

Art. His art was too poor to qualify
and they directed him to the archi-
tectural school, but his loafng in
early grades made it impossible for
him to pass entrance requirements
there. At nineteen, his mother died,

before, he was left alone.
For three years he slept in a

occasionally begging from passers-

to make a living. Whenever he

Five Killed, Many Hurt in
Steel Strike Battle

7 RGED on by c. I. o. organizers
~ and other agitators, a mob of
some 1,500 steel strikers and their
sympathizers undertook to invade
the Republic Steel plant in South
Chicago and drive out the loyal en-
ployees. The rioters were met on
company property by $50 city po-
Hcemen and warned to turn back,
but they replied with a shower of
missiles. The police first used tear
gas, but when the strikers began
shooting they opened fire in earnest
and desperate battle ensued. Four
men were killed and nearly a hun
dred, including 26 officers, were
hurt. Two days before the police
had dispersed a crowd that sought
to close the steel plant, and later a
fatal riot developed from a meet
ing held TO protest that action. Ma
yor Kelly Of Chicago upheld the
course pursued by the police and he
and the police commissioner said
the situation could be handled with
out the aid of the National Guard.
Authorities blamed Communist
authorities for the riot.
Loyal workers in Republic Steel
plants at Warren and Youngstown,
Ohio, were besieged by strikers and
were supplied with food with diff
Guilty. At first food was mailed to
them, but the government refused
to guard mail trucks in Warren
which the pickets stopped, and the
acting postmaster there said United
States District Attorney Freed at
Cleveland had authorized him to re-
fuse packages of food intended for
delivery through the picket lines.
The Republic Steel was continu-
ing to operate, but the Inland Steel
and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
corporations, the two other COM
panies against which the S. w. o. C.
had declared strikes, had closed
down their plants.

government by Neville Chamberlain,
who has been chancellor Of the eX-

and the claim of the Valencia gov
ernment was that the vessel was

Nazi Germany was tremendously
aroused by the incident and Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler and all other promi-
nent government leaders gathered
at once in Berlin. Immediate re-
venge was demanded by all Nazis,
so the pocket battleship Admiral
Scheer and four destroyers shelled
Almeria, southern Spanish loyalist
port, without warning, killing twen-
ty or more citizens and destroying
many houses. Coastal batteries re-
piled, probably without effect, and
after 80 minutes of firing the Ger
man vessels departed
Germany announced it would no
longer participate in the interna-
tional patrol of Spanish coasts until
it could be assured such incidents
as the bombing of the Deutschland
would not be repeated; and Italy
announced it also had withdrawn
from the international committee
and firmly supported Hitler.
The Valencia government assert
ed the Deutschland had no business
being at Ibiza. 1t also charged that

structures of Cardinal Mundelein of
Chicago with a fierce TRADE against
the Roman Catholic church. He re-
iterated the charges of gross i'm
morality against priests and monks
who have been tried or imprisoned
in Germany, and charged that lead
ers of the church had done nothing
to remedy the alleged conditions.
The propaganda minister demand
ed that Catholic attacks against the
Nazi regime be stopped, both at
home and abroad. Should they con-
tinue, he threatened drastic meas
ures against the church, limiting at
wholesale expulsions of CATHOLIC
clergymen from Germany.

Adolf Hitler was born on the Ba-
