It was freely forecast that work on this structure, last of the Brunner plan buildings on Capitol Hill, would be underway by October 1. It was also said that the plans for the Finance Building are the only ones which are complete in all details and that advertising for contractors can be started the same day approval is received from the Federal Government. Other Projects Among the projects submitted early to the PWA in Washington are those for the administration building at the State Military Post, Fourteenth and Calder streets, the armory for Battery 107th Field Artillery, Nineteenth and Caledonia streets, improvements to the Har risburg State Hospital, $1,390,375.

Included in the $16,000,000 group are four other projects and the Finance Building, it was said. State officials admitted that seven projects had been agreed upon, with the Finance Building as the seventh. The others, it was reliably reported, all cover hospitals. ROBUSTUTH IS MODERN IDEAL OF FEMININE BEAUTY By ANTOINETTE DONNELLY Not long ago we saw a second run, or maybe it was the third, fourth, or tenth run, of the "Ca mille" movie.

After a day at a beach we were struck with the comparison of this historic Camille beauty and what we would demand of beauty today. A heroine wasting away today with an in curable disease would be as anath ema to our taste ordinarily as would be the picture of a feminine prize fighter trying a Janet Gaynor role. Common sense, too, would dictate that the sick woman under her particular circumstances of illness would not have been too pleasant to be around. But the illness and fragility were all in the picture of an ideal peculiar to the 19th century. If you weren't anemic then you weren't a lady to stir a gentleman's chivalry.

Perhaps our modern girls stir less chivalry but they are a magnificent crop who can very well get about on their own without the chivalry, if need be. They do earn admiration with their clean young limbs firmly and finely proportioned, with their magnificent freedom of stride. I power. For i 1 1 Their straight spines and their skin, hair and eyes brimming with health and glow. Earlier in our history the trim waist was a pivotal point of beauty.

But women in those days got theirs by corsetting, whereas today the trim waistlines and firm bustlines are achieved with exercise, posture, and correct diet, in which this country excels in exploiting as our modern ideal of beauty. We are simply swamped with admiration for the waistlines seen in those play and bathing suits that leave said waistline uncovered. Girl after girl without a sign of rusty waist muscles, if we might so call them. We are speaking of young girls, naturally. It's only an occasional woman with a thick spare tire who dares the younger one's halter out fit who reminds us of what waists may develop into.

The beach we patronize this summer, at least, has few such waistlined women on view, however. If they're fat in the middle they cover up. But we were talking of romantic heroine comparisons between Ca mille's day and that of our young heroines. Wrists, pallid brows, and slender, purely decorative and use less but for dainty needlework hands were points emphasized in those other days. Who'd care today if the feminine hand looks sturdy enough to wield a battle ax if need be, or if wrists are not exquisitely molded? A pallid brow would call for a doctor.

All of which is merely a reminder that we live in beauty's golden age. (Copyright, 1937, by Chicago Tribune' N. Y. News Syndicate, Inc.) Wearing of the fez in Turkey has been forbidden since Musta pha Kemal Pasha came into HALLMAN, CASSIDY ESCAPE HAZLETON (Continued From Pace 1) CHARLES F. HALLMAN Federation, attempted to shield Hallman and the crowd also began resisting the pickets.

Fists Swing Then the fight started. Swinging fists blackened eyes and bruised faces. Women screamed and some swooned. The pickets, reinforced as word of the fight spread to the mill where they were parading, split tlie crowd. Then they crowded into the corridors, Hallman and Cassidy seeking shelter in offices.

The city treasurer's office was locked to keep the crowd out. Closely Guarded Chief of Police George A. Brownson hustled Hallman and the College Bound, Anyone Young and Alert DRESSES By Louise Mulligan Cassidy into his office, bolted the door and stood guard, pistol in hand. Police cleared the building and the two organizers were advised to leave Hazleton. They were given an escort to the railroad station.

They said they would go to Allentown or Hershey; they had not made up their minds. Quiet Restored For more than a half hour after the disorder, non strikers and pickets lined up on opposite sides of the street in front of the city hall and hurled ieers and catcalls at ear other. There was no further fighting. Half an hour later the crowd to thin. many of the non strikers returning to the mill.

No further pffort was made to hold the meeting of non strikers, but their leaders said they would press their movement to form a union of their own. 4 STRF SSF IN SPFECH "Our Obligation to the Citizen" was the talk which Charles R.
