CATHOLIC WOMEN CLOSE CONVENTION Campaign Organized to Bring “Decent Entertainment” Into Homes of America. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, July 6.—Catholic Daugh- ters of America tounded out their 16th biennial conteience with & moonlight cruise on Puget Sound to- night after a ~onertion marked by strongly worded resciutions against birth control, salacious entertainment, communism and atheism. Tomorrow’s sole activity will be & conference of counsellors for Junior Catholic Daughters cf America The girls will be asked to lend themselves to the adult order’s compaigns out- lined in convention resolutions. Miss Marguerite Martin, State re- | gent for New Jersey and head of the committee campaigning against sala- cious literature and suggestive art in magazine advertisements, said “we have advocated a publicity campaign to bring decent and enlightening en- tertainment into the Lomes of Amer- ! jca.” Subway Problems Here Few, Says U. S. Eng ineering Expert Construction Difficulties in New York and Philadelphia Far Greater, Government Builder Insists. A subway system could be installed under Washington with less @ifficulty | and probably at substantially less ex- pense than in many of the 14 vities which already have subways, it was declared yesterday by Federal en- gineers. Obstacles, successfully overcome in | other underground railway construc- | tion projects, were more serious than any which would be encountered here, it was said. Because he was unwilling to appear presumptive regarding a problem which is specifically a matter for local | solution, a Federal engineer who dis- | cussed the subway proposal declined to let his name be used. He based his conclusions on construction angles only. “Generally it could be said that a subway in Washington would not en- tail any particular or unusual aiffi- culties,” the engineer said. Problems Here Few. Heavy building in close proximity and narrow streets made subway con- | struction in New York and Philadel- phia “infinitely” more difficult tnan it would be here, it was said. Intri- cate, massive and expensive under- pinning, which probably would not | require duplication here, was neces- sary in the more northerly centers. Important sections of New York's 125 miles of subway were driven through very soft quicksand. Desvite Washington's somewhat marshy site, soil conditions were said to be de- cidedly more satisfactory for under- ground tunneling. Wider streets and comparatively lighter masonry also would make subway construction less | expensive than in Manhattan, engi- neers said. New York's system cost about $1,000,000 a mile. The underpinning required in New York and Philadelphia consists of carrying building foundations down to a markedly greater depth, an opeia- tion not believed to be necessary here. Need Suction Pumps. If local subway proponents suc- ceed in launching an underground project, the shafts probably will be rectangular, lined on the outside by & waterproof membrane of pitch and felt, the accepted treatment for such purposes. Suction pumps would be installed for accessory moisture pre- vention. Ventilation is effected by the swish of trains as well as by a system of fans and air shafts. In London and in Moscow's newly | Motor Club appointed a committee to develop active citizen interest in the feasibility of a subway system and to canvass opinion on the subject. The group is composed of G. Adams How- ard, chairman; J. Harry Cunning- ham, Harold Doyle, Pyke Johnson and Mrs. L. P. Castell. Crystallization of Interest in the subway idea accentuatea the fact that the smallest population served by subway is some 200.000 larger than Washington’s. Boston, with- 781,188 population, is equipped with a 28-mile underground Kobe, Japan, inhgbited by 787.356, has a short sub- | way line. Traffic Prcblem Acute. The traffic provlein here, however, is admittedly morz acute than in many of the more populous communities. The arrangemeat ot streets, coupled with the extraordinarily large propor- tion of gutomobiles per capita, and the coincidence of working hours makes the transportation situation unique. It has been estimated that tnere is one automobile to every three persons herc. At present, the only subway sys- tem south of Phiiadelphia is the La- Croze “undergrourd” in Buenos Aires, serving a population of 2,214700. It began operation in 1930, after one year, nine and one-kalf months of construction. The first subway run- ning in Buenos Aires started in 1913, however. The tracks of the new sys- tem can aecommcdate standard rail- way trains. Two subways operate in the British Isles, one to take care of London’s eight millions on its 20 miles of line. The other a 6%-mile line, runs under Glas¢ow. Cost $700,000,000. One of the most unusual of Euro- pean subways is the new Moscow “Metro,” opened recently by Josef Stalin to the accompaniment of great fanfare. It was built under pressure and often encountered difficulties which threatened its abandonment. In 1932, after 6,000 workers had vainly attempted a number of tun- nels, some experts called the task im- possible. But the “sub” was rushed to completion and additions are plan- ned which would bring the total mile- age to 50 by 1938. The cost of this project to date is estimated at $700,~ 000,000. Statisticians predict it will carry 128,000,000 passengers this year. Japan ha.s't:l\'ee subway systems. The annual traffic of the Tokyo “un- derground” approximates 9,000.000 THE SUNDAY U. S.

ESCAPED EXPERIMENTAL MONKEYS STAGE CIRCUS University of Wisconsin Scientist to Learn Whether Simians Grow Homesick. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis, July 6.—Science | may learn whether monkeys can get homesick. Six Rhesus Simians, which escaped their cages at the University of Wis- consin three days ago, were still “on the loose” tonight providing a diminu- tive free circus for one and all who wanted to watch their cavorting | through trees and over buildings to| elude captors. The monkeys had been in custody for various experiments. Because of food afforded by gardens, Fred Winkleman, zoo director, said he didn’t believe the monkeys would return to their cages until they got homesick—and he didn't know if they would get homesick.
