MEXICO STUDIES RAILWAY
FOR SHIPS

The Mexican government has
conducted extensive studies of a
proposal to build a ten-track rail
road to carry ships across the
lsthmus of Tehuantepec.
Modesto c. ROLAND, director of
free ports of Mexico, recently de-
scribed the project to American
maritime and engineering experts
in a talk at the Commerce De-
partment in Washington.
The Mexican government has
not yet authorized construction.
But ROLAND says it is being Sc
riously considered. Foreign cap
ital, he said, would be needed.
Mexican engineers have esti-
mated the cost at several hundred
million dollars. If a canal were
dug in the same area, the mar
rowest part of Mexico, at the
southern extremity of the coun-
try, it would cost several billions.
Ships up to $4,000 tons would
be floated from a lock into a rec
tangular basin on wheels. This
basin would proceed across the
isthmus under its own power. 1t
would be jointed - built in sec
tions connected with flexible ma
terial - SO that it could move on
slightly curved tracks.
The apparatus has been dubbed
a "decavia". meaning "~ten-track".
United States engineers have
made cursory studies of such a
project for this government. They
rejected it before going into the
matter exclusively because they
considered it impracticable. The
enormous weights, pressures and
tensions involved would be un-
precedented, they said, conelud-
ing that the success of such a
project was inconceivable.

number of typical McCardell de-
signs. Her ''pie-cut" neckline is
used again this fall. It's a hang
over from the summer collection.
Her "bandana" neckline refers to
a small or generous collar pointed
kerchief-like in back or front on
dresses, suit jackets. and blouses.
The bigger "bandana" used on

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

I have recently received a letter
from a reader which said:
Il often hear women say they
cannot stick to a diet. have dis
covered one method which makes
it easy for me.
When my size 16 began creep
ing around my waist and looked
inches shorter l knew 1 would have
to do something quickly. I told
all of my friends that I was start
ing your diet. All eyes were on
me and Id die before I would
have them wisecracking about no
will power.
when had luncheon or dinner
with friends they thought it
quite a lot of fun to try to break
down all the will power I had
built up, but I'm such a shoWoff
that I wanted to impress them
with my strength and depth of
character. could not be tempted.
Every night instead Of raid
ing the icebox I would have a
small glass of grapefruit juice
and sip it slowly. I am 10 pounds
lighter now and am proud? Most
important, I now have the habit
of eating less and will remain this
weight"
Sometime it seems better to
keep dieting as quiet and un-
noticeable as possible but on the
other hand the idea contained in
this letter puts the pressure on
the dieter if she has any pride.
Once all her friends and her
family know she is determined to
lose some weight, it makes her
feel foolish to break over. So,
perhaps you should tell every one
you know when you begin and
thus build up se1f-respect and
tear down your fatty deposits!
The question of will power is
an important one. So very many
plan to lose extra pounds but
never do because, as they write
me, Il simply do not have enough
will power" II just have to eat
some dessert" Il stuck to the diet
for four days and then broke over
in a big way" How can I in
crease my will power?"

trim line for the fall. His group
of rain or shine" outfits, a coat
and dress of showerproofed
worsted, are handsome pieces of
apparel. Pay careful attention to
his dresses of wool jersey. They
feature mushroom pleating. most
effective treatment noted in the
jersey revival. The fabric is un-
evenly and solidly massed such as
the pattern on the underside of a
mushroom. The important tweed
dress is very we'll done by Brig
ance. He uses bankers gray fan
mel, suede wool, coverts. and
tweeds beautifully in suits and
coats. Likewise chinchilla, which
he has also fashioned into a suit.
All are colorfully lined with color
contrast for more fashion magic
by Brigance.
Casual clothes are josef
WALKERS forte. This season she
feels sheer wool fabric can be
utilized to provide sports clothes
that can be just as effective as
those made up in heavier fabrics.
Tiny checks and block plaids are
employed by her to make a nice
group of dresses. Her dressy wool
jerseys and velveteens will ap-
peal to many young women who
want colorful dress but want a
bit OF sophistication.
