CONNIFF, Publisher Build Fort for War in 4 Hours 'Army Officers Witness Demonstration of Vacuum Concrete Process. .1.50 In the demonstration standard cement, sand and broken stone, mixed with water, were poured into forms or molds at 9 a. m. These forms were of wood, although in standard- ized construction they probably will be of thin steel or aluminum sheets, with the proper bracing, so as to be very light and easily transportable, in sections. After the concrete mixture was poured into the molds, the vacuum process was applied and at 1 p. m. the forms were removed. Briefly, the vacuum process is a method of removing from concrete, after it has been placed in the forms, all excess mixing water the water which has been added to make the concrete liquid enough to flow readily into the forms, Billner explained.

France is a great country for authors; witness the recent VAPOR STEAM BATHS AND FULL BODY SWEDISH MASSAGE public excitement over the election Matures to the French academy. The addition of another reactonary and so eminent a one as the Royalist leader and editor of the Action Francaise at that, to the immortals was a matter of widespread general concern. Small wonder that Paris should be chosen as their home by eminent literary exiles, for perhaps nowhere else are writers of talent and merit so seriously esteemed. This summer a group of some 20 writers has left Vienna and Budapest lest the growing power of Naziism should hamper their pens, to settle here and organize their work on a sort of collective basis, especially for the cinema. Among Noted Exiles. They include Ladislaus Fodor, the Hungarian playwright, who supplied The Unguarded Hollywood with and Jewel Hour, Robbery Girls Dormitory; Georges Manon and Gina Kaus, author of Luxury Liner; Eric Remarque of All Quiet on the Western Front fame, deprived of his German nationality, is working on a new play, a comedy, and a modern novel, in the environs of this city, too. Rodins statue of Balzac (who, incidentally, was twice refused by the academy) is now to be set up in Paris at the junction of the Boulevards Montparnasse and Raspail, a most important site near the Dome, litthe Rotonde and foe Coupole erary cafes. A year or two back a census was taken in the department of the Seine to discover foe most popular French writer.

STEVENSON Original plans for Rockefeller Center included a new building for foe Metropolitan Grand Opera company. The old structure on Broadand Forway between Thirty-nint- h tieth streets, was admittedly inadequate to hold audiences who desired to listen to foe tops of the musical world. I was out of date and out of repair. Traffic conditions were bad for occupants of foe golden horseshoe who came to their music in limousines. The Rockefeller Center site had many advantages. Nevertheless, grand opera remained on Broadway and the site set aside for it in Rockefeller Center remained vacant. It hasn't been idle, however. Since foe opening of foe development on which more than $100,000,000 has been spent, it has served as a parking lot. under way recently, is over in foe Red Hook section of Brooklyn. There one of the worst slums in foe entire city is to be cleared away and in its place are to be erected modern homes for 6,000 families. They will be six stories in height and equipped The construction with elevators. will be in foe form of Ls, Ts and crosses, thus affording a maximum of light and air. By the tup of glazed tile, new pipe and cable installations, arrangements of lighting fixtures and other construction economies, foe builders hope to provide homes which will rent for $5.25 a room a month. The enterprise is a $33,000,000 project sponsored by the city and the federal government and foe rentals are to be lower than foe Williamsburg and Harlem houses, earlier housing projects. low-co- st In addition to modern conveniences, practically unknown in foe Red Hook section in foe past, the houses are to have clinics, isolation rooms, health centers, recreation rooms for adults as well as nursery rooms and schools. And all thats a mighty' far cry from foe Red Hook of the past, my impression of which are a battleground for various gangs of longshoremen, led by Peg Leg Lomegan and others long since gone to whatever rewards they may have had coming. AUSTIN, TEXAS. The first major discovery from foe William McDonald observatory that the bright star Mu Sagittaril undergoes eclipse every 180 days has been announced Still another housing project of importance this one financed by life insurance company funds is up in the Bronx where modern dwellings are to be built on 120 acres of land. One thing that strikes me as significant is the fact that foe buildings will occupy only 28 per cent of the land area. Then, too, housewives who dwell in the apartments wont have far to go to do their shopping. In each block there will be commissaries where various necessities and even some luxuries may be purchased. of by Dr. Otto Struve, foe observatory. The discovery of an eclipse which repeats itself every 180 days in a bright star is an important matter in itself, Doctor Struve wrote foe University of Texas. The importance is enhanced by the fact that the phenomenon is quite similar to that observed in foe eclipsing of the large double star, Epsilon Aurigas, much discussed by astronomers a year ago, Doctor Struve added. He informed university officials that foe discovery was made upon the basis of a prediction by Dr. W. W. Morgan, an astronomer. The discovery was recorded in the observatory by Dr. C. T. Elvey. Although McDonald observatory has been in use for some time, it is not yet fully equipped. Struve pointed out that instruments in use there now are suplemental to a major lens being ground in a Cleveland laboratory. The observatory, in the Davis mountains of southwest Texas, is operated jointly by the University of Texas and the University of Chicago. or listed?

Mrs. Seth Zettcrstedt, of this city, has a hobby of collecting pencil all sorts, colors and kinds. She has more than 400. Some of the pencils are shaped like umbrellas, walking canes, golf clubs.

For the feet of birds are almost as important to them as their wings, observes a writer in foe One can St. Louis Globe-Democr- at. The ducks feet are webbed because it must have good paddles to push foe water with when it swims. Otherwise, it would be as poor a swimmer as a hen. The robin has a foot much like the ordinary chicken. His foot has three toes in front, the center one a little longer than the others, and a rather long, strong toe behind. Because he scratches for most of his bod, his front toes are fitted with sharp toenails which can tear at foe lardest ground. The back toe is held in reserve, for when a cat or any other annoying enemy comes along, foe robin is obliged to aban-lo-n his search for worms and cling to a safe, high branch. Woodpeckers have two toes in rent and two behind. Consequently they hobble awkwardly on the ground, like some old man with corns on his feet. But in the trees, where theyre reasonably comfortable, theyre quicker than almost any other bird at hanging to the skinniest branches and getting through the thickest leaves. The cassowary and ostrich, tall birds that are surpassingly good runners, have the strangest feet of any. The foot of the ostrich has only two toes. He hasnt any use for the back toe because he doesnt climb trees. And for running, the back toe would be just so much extra luggage. Both of these runner birds live in Australia. No matter where they live, nor what their difficulties, the bodies of animals learn marvelously to meet foe needs of their lives. Another and vastly more important building project, which got SINGAPORE. One person in 500 of foe worlds population is a leper. Dr. Gordon R. Ryrie, medical superintendent of foe largest leper hospital in the British empire, estimates. Doctor Ryrie appealed for a more intelligent understanding of leprosy problems in a speech st Kuala Lumpur, Federated Malay States. It Is time, he said, that the archaic conception of foe terrors of leprosy be changed. It is by no means a rare disease, he said, it is not ordinarily infectious among adults, but is generally contracted by children between the ages of 5 and 10. Even a person married to a leper does not usually contract foe disease. The tragedy, he said, was that probably not 2 per cent of lepers were being cared for, and not one in 50 was being cared for as a leper should be treated. The world is not willing to spend enough to give a certain amount of care to one leper in 50, he added. The money spent on cosmetics in England and foe United States would provide comfortably for every leper in the world. A fraction of foe money spent on tobacco, sweets and alcohol would provde for all foe lepers. v Nature Gives All Birds Kind of Feet They Need an Leprosy Ratio of World Estimated at 2 per 1,000 Cycle Twice Every Year Ife V A recent announcement was that foe costly site, lying between Forty-eight-h streets and and Forty-nint- h foe Center theater and foe Plaza, where tourists stop to look at the fountain popularly known as the man on the flying trapeze," is to go to work in earnest. Instead of an opera house there is to be a garage, one 13 stories in height and in no way resembling usual storage houses for motor cars. Six stories will be devoted to that purpose, three of them underground. Around foe storage space will be stores on the street level and above them business places and offices. The architecture is to be in keeping with the rest of foe Center. The new garage will be different from all others in also. The estimated cost is $3,000,000.
