DEFECTIVE RED CENSUS
Is ORDERED NULlIFIED
New Count Planned in January,
1939-Delay in Revealing
Result Spurred Speculation.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. September 25.-The So
Wet government today nullified the
census Of some 10 million inhabi-
tants taken January l, and ordered a
new census in January. 1899, because
results were defective"
Until the government declared the
census results defective there had been
speculation on why the totals we're
not made public
The governments instructions for
taking the census" it was announced,
were not observed. Results were in
contradiction to statistical science
Therefore, the Central Board of Ma
tional Economic Statistics is ordered
to take new census in 1889"
What the census showed which was
not satisfactory was not announced.

CLEAN RIVER,
PARLEY TOPIC

Plans for making the Potomac
River a "test laboratory" for the
study of pollution control will be
discussed by the Washington
Board of Trade at a conference
to be held here on March 10. In
cluded in the group which will
meet in the auditorium Of the

merce are officials of States and
cities bordering the river.
Recalling that the special ad-
visory committee on water pollu-

Arrangements for the conference
are in the hands of John A. Re-
mon, chairman Of the COMMITTEES

proportionate measurement may
exceed the chest by one or two
and one-half inches.
Now, for the waist measure,
ment. In the streamlined figure,
the waist is slenderer than the
bust by at least seven inches. In
some of the loveliest figures, the
difference is as much as nine
inches. An overgrown waist is
disastrous to any figure.
Hips, the problem measurement
of the feminine figure, outstrip
symmetry when they exceed the
bust measurement by more than
two inches. In measuring the
hips, keep the tape level and pass
it around the largest area to in
clude the derriere-it's all hips in
effect!
The thigh is not one of the piv'
otal measurements, but Shapely
thighs are extremely important to
beauty. Take this measurement
slightly above the center of the
upper leg, or approximately 10
inches above the knee.
The thigh measurement also
varies according to structure,
Venus thigh measurement is esti.
mated to have been 2212 inches
The modern, five-foot-four Venus
has thigh measurement of 20 to
81 inches.
The calf measurement differs
widely in the standards for vari
GUS types. The average of 5 feet
4 inches ranges from - to 13
inches. Take this measurement at
the fleshy part of the leg.

GASOLINE TAX
SHIFT HIT

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 4.
Diversion of State gasoline road
tax funds to any purpose other
than highway construction and
maintenance was opposed in a
resolution adopted last night by
the Montgomery county farm bu-
reau.
Speaking on the subject of diver
sion of this fund before the Young
Mems Democratic Club, of Silver
Spring, Md, Charles M. Upham,
consulting engineer, of the Mary
land State roads commission,
warned that to follow the diversion
plan proposed by Governor Harry
w. Nice, not only would endanger
the present highway system of the
State but would result in the State
losing between $500,00O and $780,
600 in Federal road grant funds.
The farm bureau is one of sew
eral county organizations that
have gone on record in the last
few weeks as opposing any diver
sion of the State gas tax fund to
other purposes.

NEW YORK, March 4 UNS0.'
Discovery of a skin test for dag
nosis of heart trouble and other
diseases was announced at the Mt.
Sinai Hospital laboratories here
yesterday.
The test consists Of injection Of
a few sterilized drops of snake
venom preparation. In case of dis
ease a blue or brown patch, about
the size of ten-cent piece ap-
pears on the skin.
If the fine blood vessels, the
capillaries near the surface of the
skin, ere healthy and strong, no
color patch is formed by the in
lection.
The new method was developed
by Drs. Samuel M. Peck, Nathan
Rosenthal and Lowell A. Err.
Among other diseases for which
the test is useful, according to
the three physicians, are purpurd'
a condition of easy and dangerous
bleeding; leukemia, cancer, I'LL
lection Of the kidneys, Subacute
endocarditis or infection Of the
heart muscles, and other diseases.
Curiously enough, the test failed
to show any results in cases OF
haemophilia, the inherited tend
ency of excessive bleeding.
The method of the test was de-
Scribed as follows:
"Dried scales of venom OF
the mOccaSin snake are dis
solved in salt solution with
merchiOlate (antiSeptic).
Injection of One-tenth to
twO-tenthS of a cubic centimeter

of the material is made into the
skin. Readings Of the color
change are taken 30 minutes to
one hour afterwards.
Delayed reaction may be OBJ
served within IL to "a hours.
But in negative test results, no
discOlOratiOn ever occurs"
In different diseases, involving
the weakening of the capillary
blood vessels, a condition tested
by the snake venom injection
there are peculiar differences.
For example, in the case of lee
disease due to local conditions
only the test was positive wher
applied to the skin of the leg.
But when the purpura of the
leg was caused by something which
poisoned the blood vessels, even
the arm gave a positive result

POLI'S

LoeW'S Poli wishes to make this announcement-the' worlds most famous taxi driver is bringing to us the story of this interesting profes- sion. We speak of Spencer Tracy, who co-stars with the glamorous Luise Rainer in Metro -Goldwyn- Mayors new picture-"Big City,. Tracy plays the role of hackman in the heart of big town traffic-and also, is the heart of a noble woman.
 It is notable that this story, Big City" was written by Norman Kras- ma, the Broadway playwright, who also produced the picture. The stars have a supporting cast of 34 fea- tured players. Frank Borzage, vet eran director of the memorable pic ture, "Humoresque," and many oth- CTS, directed Big City''-his first picture under new contract with M-G-M.
 It is known to all who read this that Spencer Tracy is rated as Hol- lywoods most distinguished charac- ter star. It was he who starred in Krasna's revolutio ary picture, "Fury'-then scored as the priest in Sal Francisco'-and next as the seamon, Manuel, in Captains Cour- ageous'. Now do we neet. to tell you that Luise Rainer, t..e Anna Held of "The Great ziegfeld," the Chinese farm wife in "The Good Earth" won last years academy ;ward for the finest feminine performance on the screen. Now these two distinguished players bring to us the seething maelstrom of big city.
 The story goes deep into the heart of big town life, with a taxi driver who loves an immigrant girl. They become involved in the political and racketeering activities of the city. She is threatened with deportaton- but he blocks that! You'll thrill at his indomitable courage-and hers and you'll know that you've seen one of the finest pictures of the year. Remember, folks-"Big City"-opens today at the Loew Poli theater as the third smash triumph of our Greatest Movie Season.
 The second big hit to be seen on this program is "The Girl Said No" with Robert Armstrong and Irene Hervey in the leading roles. For the

Humphrey Bogart, Barton MacLare and Ann Sheridan. While the story is laid in and about the famous penitentiary that juts into San Francisco Bay, it is mot, the pro- ducers give assurance, one of those sorrowful movies about condemned men and last hours and that sort of thigh
 There is no execution, there is nothing sobby about the picture. It is enlivened by many scenes taken outside" - even by San Francisco night-club, where Miss Sheridan is singer who falls in love with OBrien, who is an ex- Army officer just appointed to be Captain of the Yard at San Quen- tin. r
 It is simply swiftly-moving mel- cdrama dealing with the prisoners, the lives they lead-some good, some evil, even behind walls-and the officers who guard them.

RACE TEN
To The Local TheateYS
STATE

Playing to capacity house at each performance Dead End,
 that brilliant screen hit adapted from the successful stage play of the same title, began solid weeks engagement at Warmers State the- ater yesterday.
 Twenty-four hours of throbbing life in a city street, paved with riches and poverty, comedy and tragedy, romance and heartachs thunders across the screen in the unfolding of this remarkable story, destined to find it's way among the ten best screen shows of the current year. Sylvia Sidney and Joel McCrea have the leading roles and head a cast of players carefully picked in order to put the picture in the Init class" and they have made good in full measure.
 Miss Sidney has her greatest role as Drina, the girl who vailanSly fought losing battle to keep her little brother Tommy from the gangster's fate ahead of him and to raise them both out of the slums.
 McCrea is seen as Dave, the poor architect she loved, who dreamed of tearing down all the tenements in the world, and loved the beautiful Kay, played by Wendy Barrie, who had found way out of the Slums into penthouse luxury.
 Humphrey Bogart plays Baby Face Martin" the killer, drawn back from his gangland haunts to the slum where he was spawned, by an irresistible yearning to see his mother and his boyhood sweet heart, Francey, once more-who faced the G-men's bullets, all to find that his mother hated the very sight of him and that Francey had taken life the easiest way.
 Claire Trevor plays Francey, AL len Jenkins is seen as Hunk, Baby Faces" henchman, and Billy Halop, Gabriel Dell, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Leo Gorcey and Bernard Punsley the Dead End kids from the original New York stage cast, are seen again in. their unforget- table characterizations of Tommy, "T.B." Angel" "Dippy," Spit" and Milty.
 Dead End" is one show that definitely should not be missed. It provides an afternoon or evening of entertainment that is distinct credit to Hollywood. Dead End" IS screened at 1:25, 4:1O, 6:55 and $40. Patrons are urged to attend the marinees or supper shows in order to avoid the crowds and to be sure of a seat.

 But whoppers told by press agents serve only to raise the eyebrows of correspondents, An example, and the fable-of the week, concerns Ann Sothern's peaches: The actress is supposed to have a couple of peach trees in her back yard, and the fruit re- gently began to disappear at night, So bells were fastened to the tree tops, and along about midnight one began changing furiously. Out rushed the Sothern household, and what do you think 1t found?

 The picture is "Rosalie," which has a mythical European Kingdom. And with foreign censorship as touch as it is today, everything must indeed be mythical = flags, uniforms, coats-of-arms and all such identifying features.
