Frightened Glance
Kay cast a frightened glance at
him. Had he come to meet her
because he was afraid of what he
might do.
She decided her trip to the I'm
provement Office had not been a
day too soon.
Larry dropped to one of the
big chairs on the terrace and Kay
went to the kitchen.
Passing through the living room
she glanced about with pride.
All her labor and plans had
worked wonders. It was a charm

Handy Hints
Avoiding Obvious Souvenirs

II you just don't care for OBJ
vious souvenirs, yet wish to take
home some tasteful memento of
the New York fair, you might like
to look at some of the new printed
scarfs whose designs are timely
and appropriate but not at all
souvenirish. Should New York's
evening panorama particularly
thrill you, there is a navy silk
scarf with the city's skyline out
lined in frosty white. Red dots
indicate bright windows. Another
scarf amusingly reproduces a map
Of Manhattan Island and vicinity.

fabric and clever design, for gifts
or personal accessories.

By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department announced
yesterday an eight-man engineering
mission would sail for Nicaragua
tomorrow to initiate a survey of a
projected barge canal and parallel
highway project along the San Juan
River.
Congress appropriated 100000 for
the survey.
The group which will sail from
New York aboard the steamship
Panama will be under the command
of 1t. Col. Charles P. Gross of the
United States Army Engineers
Corps.
Congress never has approved a
proposed Nicaraguan inter-oceanic
canal project. Army officials have
indicated the barge canal would be
for local transportation purposes,
rather than for defense. The road
project would be part of the Inter-
American highway between Texas
and Panama.
The group scheduled to make the
new survey includes 1t Col. Paul
