who, until now, has saved their vast
holdings Of land between Rome and
Naples from the hands Of the agrarian
reformers. The countess prefers to
practice her arts Of fascination on the
notable statesmen, diplomats and poll
ticians with whom she comes in con-
tact.
The countess is quite sensitive about
the tribute she thinks is due to her as
q towering figure in q great power
about to expand into an empire. On
her most recent visit to Berlin she re-
sented the well-meant but somewhat
clumsy and bearlike familiarity Of
Herr Himmler, the dreaded chief Of
the all-powerful "Gestapo," the Ger
man secret political police. Upon a
faint hint to the Fuehrer, Himmler
was suspended and stayed away from
his office until the countess had taken
her train back to Rome, when he was
reinstated. Nothing was said about
this in the German press, but in the
resorts along the "Kurfuersten Damn"
the terrible affair" was discussed in
awed whispers.
It is said in initiated circles in Rome
that the countess went to Germany
chiefly to weigh and appraise Chan
cellor Hitler. She had seen him at
Berlin, in the brown house" at Mu-
mich and in his country seat at Berch-
tesgaden. 1t is certain that she has
formed her opinion and has compared
notes with her father, who only saw
the Fuehrer for an hour or two in
Venice two years ago. If gossip along
the Corso means anything. the Duce
was not impressed overmuch with the
personality ofthe Fuehrer. Edda's re-
port is the real news of Europe today,
but it is not for publication.
Though her features, like those Of
her father, have touch OF heaviness,
the countess is amazing everybody by
the way she has preserved her young
looks. Her girlish waistline Is still in
evidence. The timber Of her voice Is
strong rather than melodious. Her
distinct enunciation suggests a good
course in elocution. In the midst of
an apparent nervousness she is always
sure Of herself. There Is one thing she
can and will not do. though it is still
common practice among all her
Latin sisters. What is called "lan-
gushing Is strange to her nature.
For this reason alone she is, in her
own country. regarded as ultra
modern" The countess is natural and
unafiected-the one characteristic that
distinguishes her from the father. Her
sense of humor, too, is livelier and not
quite as acrid as that of the Duce.
1t Is known that she Is very clever
mimic and that in her limitations she
spares no one. Such exhibitions, how
ever, are for very restricted circle.
which in compensation Is all the more
appreciative.

tleship." Under the Versailles treaty,
warships were limited to 10000 tons
for Germany. So Germany set about
fitting in her war machines to that
limit. Out Of her efforts came the
pocket battleship," which naval au-
thorities here insist Is not q battle
ship. but in reality a lightly armored
cruiser. This type is equipped with
half dozen 11-inch guns; eight g.
inch guns and four 34-inch anti
aircraft guns, as well as torpedo tubes.
The speed in 26 knots and the cost
ranges around $1s,225,000.
Germany laid down the Deutschland
in February, 1929; the Admiral Scheer
was laid down In June, 1881: the Ad-
October, 1882. Now being built are
the Ersatz 'Elsass and the Ersatz
Hessen. A 35,00o-ton battleship was
laid down last year. Altogether, the
Hitler government has three capital
ships in service at present. Three,
totaling $1,000 tons. are being built.
Naval experts define battleship
as "a large vessel, capable Of keeping
the seas in any weather and having
large radius Of action" It has pro-
lection by heavy armor against gun
fire and airplane bombing and against
torpedoes and mines by a system Of
minute compartmentation of its under
water body. 1t carries a main arma-
ment Of large guns, with moderate
speed, ranging from 18 to 80 knots.
This class Is intended to lie in
the regular line Of battle and bear the
brunt Of the fighting and is often
referred to as the backbone Of the
fleet" say the authorities.
Capital ships are warships of the
battle line-battleships and battle

sixth street, with ramp connections to
M street at Thirty-fourth street and
at Thirty-sixth street, which will pro-
vide access to Key Bridge without
crossing traffic. As an alternate to
avoid direct connection into the park
way it is proposed to extend the high
way eastward from Twenty-ninth
street by bridge to connect with L
street east of Rock Greek and Poto-
mac Parkway. Connection into the
parkway at the bridgehead Of the low
level bridge would result in serious
congestion at this point and at K
street, and further would require all
truck traffic to enter and leave the
canal road at Twenty-ninth street.
The latter would add further conges-
ton at the K street intersection with
the parkway. Therefore, in the con-
sideration of this route the alternate
described will be considered as part
of the project, that is, the extension Of
the Canal road across Rock Greek by
bridge into I. street at Twenty-seventh
street.
K STREET ROUTE-This plan pro-
poses an elevated highway starting at
Twenty-seventh and K streets. rising
to sufficient height to provide a grade
separation at K street and the Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway for
through traffic. The highway would
continue as an elevated highway along
K street to Thirty-siXth street, with
suitable ramp connections (no crossing
of traff1c) to M street east and west
of Key Bridge. Under this plan it IS
proposed to depress the parkway drive
at the K street intersection as great
an amount as will permit Of draining
and at the same time be above the
extreme flood elevation. It Is further
proposed to make the structure over
the parkway, including the east ap-
proach, of a design in keeping with
other structures across Rock Greek.
A low-level roadway from K street
with connection into Twenty-ninth
street would be provided, as well as a
new low-level K Street Bridge. Con-
nection into Wisconsin avenue for
northbound traffic could be provided If
found desirable. This is also true at
Twenty-ninth street if the necessary
land should be acquired.
The total cost for the canal route,
less right of way, is $25,000. The total
for the K street route is 81 ,430, 900.
Although the canal route shows a
lesser construction cost of $505, 1000, to
this must be added the cost Of the
right of way, which has been esti-
mated at various times at from $780,
900 to 81 ,000, 900. After considering
all phases Of the problem it Is found
the K street route will nearer meet
all of the requirements Of the situa-
ton and is free from many of the
probable legal complications Of the
canal route.

cruisers. The United States does
not possess battle cruisers, as the
Washington treaty junked those we
had planned. A battle cruiser is de-
scribed as "a cruiser Of large size, high
speed, armed with very heavy guns"
They are as large as battleships, but
have much greater speed and lack the
armor protection that a battleship
possesses. The tendency has been to
construct slightly speedier battleships
and drop the battle cruiser category.
Our aircraft carriers, U. S. S. Lex
ington and U. s. s.. Saratoga, were
started out as battle cruisers, but the
Washington treaty came along and
shifted their destiny to become what
they are today-mother ships to the
sky birds.
THE term "dreadnaught" arose from
the fact that Great Britain built
a warship named the Dreadnaught
in 1906-the first all-big-gun ship Of
her navy. Prior to that, battleships
had carried mixed batteries of heavy,
semi-heavy and light guns. But this
move proved boomerang to Britain.
for in starting out on this new type
she caused the rest Of her old navy
Evening star., 1937-01-31

to become in effect obsolete. To
keep pace with her Dreadnaught, the
other major nations Of the world
commenced to build this type too, so
that before the World War the
United States had on the ways a
number of the latest in fighting ships
Of great size.
Due to the pressing need Of smaller
warships to fight the German U-boat
menace. the construction Of these large
ships. not yet completed, was slowed
down. And it was not until the war
was over that some Of them were sent
down to the sea.
The U. s. s. West. Virginia Is
Uncle Sans latest warship, for she
was commissioned December /, 1923.
She is 624 feet long; has a beam Of
97H feet at or below the water line;
draws 81 feet Of water; weighs around
$4,000 tons; her mast height Is l56
feet; she carries 1,400 officers and en-
listed men in her ships company; she
has a speed Of 251a miles an hour
and she cost approximately $50, ,000, 900.
Many shops and conveniences exist
for the comfort of the crew. The
printer, cobbler, barber, butcher, tailor,

optical and machine shops are all
aboard this veritable floating city. A
hospital and fully equipped operating
room are part Of her makeup, as well
as dentists Office, post Office, news
stand, library, bank and reception and
reading room. A ships store, where
bluejackets and Marines may pur-
chase odds and ends, is maintained.
The West Virginia has eight 16-inch
guns each weighing 161 tons. Each
throws a projectile weighing a ton
for a distance Of 20 miles. A powder
charge weighs 600 pounds. A child
can handle the guns, so delicately bal
anced are they.
The West Virginia can cruise at IA
miles an hour for 38 days, a distance
of some 13 900 miles-four times across
the North Atlantic. II necessary,
the ship could travel across the
ocean at Is miles an hour. Nine miles
an hour Is her most economical speed,
officials say, and at this gait she
could cruise for three months with
out refueling-some 21,600 miles
nearly around the entire globe.

comedies, very much to their COM
mon taste, though they must have
know 1t meant heartache to other
people. Edda went from one re-
nowned boarding school for young
ladies to another. famous college
in Florence, another In Bologna, still
another near Naples.
The adventures of Edda were dis
creetly recorded in the chronicles Of
these institutions. In every one OF
them Edda exhausted the patience Of
her teachers and the heads of the
school. Her rapid changes from reck-
then back again to little riots caused
a lot of despair. The way out was
generally explained In words like
these: THE course was not fully
suited to the needs of the distinguished
signorina."
HER real education Edda received
listening at the feet of the Duce.
What he impressed upon her was
strictly practical wisdom. There were
leaders and the led, the molders and
the nodded, the dynamic and the
inert. There never was any doubt as
to where the Mussolinis. padre e
figlia, belonged. She has inherited
and aSsimilated. Today the resem-
blance in manners, attitude. moods,
likes and dislikes, walk and move
ments is even greater than the physi-
cal similarity. She wears the same
prickly armour to hold people at a
distance. Unless 1t be for special
purpose, the countess takes no pains
to be agreeable. Her sarcasm Is spon-
taneous; her gayety. as rule, is not.
The countess is not great admirer
of her own sex. She is rarely seen
talking to women. OF this deliberate
reticence, conveying sense of SUI
periority, much complaint has been
heard from woman leaders of Roman
society, members of such families as
the Colonna, the Rospogliosi, the
Borghese and others. These noble
and wealthy families, however, are
debtors and not creditors of the Duce,

thoroughfare it Is believed much Of
the Florida avenue traffic would use
this route. The desirability of grade
separation at Florida avenue and
Thirteenth street is not prompted by
congestion, but to relieve danger in
cident to heavy grade southbound on
Thirteenth street.
NEW YORK AVENUE AND FLOR
IDA AVENUE N. E.-Many of the
objections surrounding the Thirteenth
aration project will be found in this
one upon detailed study. In addition
the heavy movement of traffic inbound
on New York avenue turning into
Florida avenue westbound further
complicates the situation. Even since
the widening of the north side Of
Florida avenue between New York ave-
nue. and lexington place, a great deal
Of the congestion at this location has
been relieved. Further improvement
could be made by opening lexington
place through from Florida avenue to
New York avenue and the widening
of Florida avenue at the intersection
with New York avenue eastward. At
some future time the widening of the
Florida avenue underpass east of New
York avenue and the removal of the
center or roadway piers should be con-
sidered. It is our belief that the esti-
mated cost Of $780, 900 for a viaduct
on New York avenue over Florida ave-
nue. could be better expended for the
correction Of other conditions that
tend to cause congestion than to build
a new viaduct, that will not, in our
judgment, fulfill all desired require
mentS.
10. The purpose Of this study Is
twofold. First, to provide a suitable
bypass route for Virginia traffic de-
string to cross Key Bridge, and, Sec
ond, to provide a route for through
traffic from the downtown section of
the city destined for areas west of the
Key Bridge area, including a route
to Chain Bridge and Potomac Heights.
M street, in Georgetown, between
Twenty-ninth street and Key Bridge,
is the most highly congested thorough
fare in the District of Columbia dur
ing the rush-hour periods. The OBJ
jective of this study has been to de-
velop bypass route for through traf-
flee that will act to relieve the conges-
ton of M street and thereby provide
ample capacity for local traf1c In this
area. Two through routes, together
with a secondary or supplement route
for each. have been thoroughly studied.

DETROIT, July 20 GN.S),
Dangers of a dictator for the
United States are the result Of a
new paganism which is sweeping
the country, according to Joy
Elmer Morgan, editor Of the
National Education Association
Journal.
Morgan believes that the deg
radiation of mans higher nature
through greed and pursuit OF
tawdry pleasures is a result OF the
new paganiSm.
"The currents of a new pa
ganism are running powerfully IN
America today" he said. They
reach into your home and mine
and even into our churches. This
new paganism is nursed and nour-
ished by a host of parasitic in
dustries, operating within the law
and without. 1t dominates bust
ness and corrupts government.
1T is no easy to educate for
Christian character under these
conditions, for it means that the
Christian parent must teach his
child to go against the status quo,
to rebel against prevailing social
practices, to stand alone, If need
be, to preserve the standards OF
personal excellence and integrity"
