Skull In Large Size

It is contemplated to construct model
OF the human eye of such great SIZE that
visitors will be able to get inside it in
groups and look through the giant pupil
and, by adjusting levers, see what the
outer world loc&s like to the far-sighted
person, to one ncarsichtod and % one
who may be cross-eyed or have other de-
feet Of vision.
Another eHfjtt in prospect will be
skull Of such proportions that visitors
may likewise gel inside it and walk alb ut

structure, the cavities IN which the eve
balls rest and how the teeth are set in
the jaws Also they viii - able - 60

Armory Sketch Plans
Win Approval Of
Fine Arts Board
Planning Commission
Moves to Add Links to
Memorial Parkway

City planners took two important
steps today in the development of
Washington system of public build
ings and parkways when the Ma
tional Commission of Fine Arts ap-
proved sketch plans for the new
National Guard Armory and the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission moved to add two
new links to the George Washing
ton Memorial Parkway in Maryland
and Virginia.
The Arts Commission, meeting for
the first time this season, stamped
quick approval on armory plans sub
mitted by Municipal Architect Ma
than c. Wyeth. The Planning Com
mission is expected to add its approv-
al to that of the Arts Commission
when the two agencies hold joint
session this afternoon.
The new armory, which, after
hotly-contested congressional strug-
gle, was authorized to be placed at
the end of East Capitol street at a
cost of $2,750,0O0, is to cover six
blocks in the area bounded by Nine
teenth, B, Twenty-second streets
Sc. and East Capitol street. 1t Is
in conjunction with the armory that
a huge sports center, including a
drill field, railroad siding, 16,000-car
parking lot, aquatic stadium, tennis
arena and other facilities, has been
advocated by city planners. Seating
capacity for the auditorium is ex-
pected to be about 105O0. Placing

Hitlers Blitzkrieg against Poland
continued today to live up to its
name-lightning war
The Poles still battled doggedly
and fiercely to save their beleaguered
capital, and in the Kutno area just
to the west of Warsaw suicide
army" Of some 10000 refused to sur
render, although they have been
fighting for days without rest and
are surrounded.
Still the German war-machine
crushed steadily on in most places,
Down in the strategic southeast
section of the unhappy country in
the LWow Lemberg) area. the great
German movement toward the Rus
sian border proceeded fast.
Lemberg still held out at latest
reports, but was hard pressed and
the Polish troops in nearby sectors
were said to be pulling back in shat
tered condition.
Long lines of refugees-old men,
women, children-wrote a story of
terror across the countryside which
was their home.
Lines to Outside Believed Cut.
This Lemberg drive is of vast mo-

ment. Already the Germans appear
to have cut Poland off from rail
communications with Rumanfa and
Hungary. The Poles had banked on
getting supplies from these two
neighbors. But the big objective is
the Russian border-the quick estab-
lishment of communications between
the Soviet and Germany across
broken Poland.
Hitler is expecting Russia to pro-
vide him with all the foodstuffs and
sineWs of war which he now lacks
to nullify the allied attempt to starve
Germany out.
This feeding of Germany would
tend to protract the war indefinitely.
The allies have reconciled them
selves to that, but just now has
come further development which has
set tongues racing with speculation
as to just what role Russia may
play.
All Europe has been stirred by
the mobilization of big Russian
Army opposite the Polish border
and yesterday the Moscow news
paper Pravda attacked Poland s
handling of the Russian minorities
within her borders.
Paris and other capitals grew
anxious because of the widespread
belief that Germany might be pre-

of the Spanish main had been de-

ApropoS of this. when touring
South America and the Caribbean
countries three years ago was told
that England intended to establish
a naval base in the Bay of Paria.
between Trinidad and Venezuela,
both for warships and naval planes.
Paria is a natural harbor and well
defended by nature.
A naval base at Paria would pro-
