 WaShington.--One pair of able feminine hands is playing a part in designing and drafting plans for the United States Navy. These hands belong to Marjorie Young, only woman naval architect in America.
 Right now Miss Young is work ing on the design and development of new types of ships to meet the changing technique of modern total war. Shes assistant to Starling Burgess, famous yacht designer, in the Washington oflce of Weaver As SociateS.
 Realize that 1t would take 24O years for one person to do all the detailed and intricate drafting necessary for one destroyer, and you can see why in the present frantic ship-building boom = both merchant and naval-Marjorie's hands constantly are busy. Her firm acts as a go-between 'twixt navy and shipyard on selected con- tracts, inspecting each step of con- struction, and making reports of progress to the navy.
 Marjorie herself works mostly on the proportions and shape of ships hulls. To do this she must know plenty about physics and mathematis and calculus. And she has to be able to figure just the proper balance of strength, roominess, and speed necessary to enable a particular ship to do its own special job.
 How did 8 28-year-old girl come to invade this most mas culine of fields? It was mostly the result of 8 chain of happy ac- cidents.

Caravan TO Defy y
Mountain Curse
PHOENIX. March Is.

STARTING FROM here to-
morrow, a caravan of nearly
1000 persons win wend its way
toward misty. ominous noun
tain of the mighty Superstition
in defiance of the curse which
tradition says follows those who
enter its foothills.
The Dons Club. organized by
a group of young business and
professional men devoted to the
study OF Southwestern lore, will
be in charge of the trek.
Superstition Mountain is
about so miles from Phoenix.
The legend connected with
Superstition Mountain goes back
TO the pioneer days when Jacob
Walz. a German prospector, after
whom The Lost Dutchman"
mine was named. first went into
the area Of the mountain. When
ever he ran out of cash he would
20 into the mountain fastness
and come out with nuggets that
assayed unusually high in gold.
He died in 1892 without re-
vealing the location of the mine.
Countless prospectors have per-

hidden wealth.
