Twelve members were present and the prizes werw "HAD CONSTIPATION SINCE BIRTH OF MY FIRST CHILD" Then Mrs. King Discovered 1 All-Bran" " ' Wo quote from her voluntary letter: . "I have suffered from terrible constipation since the birth of my first child 9 years ago! I have tried everything and nothing had any lasting results. Very reluc tantly I tried your 'All-Bran' with no faith in it at all. Much to my surprise, I have not had to take any medicine since starting to use All-Bran, 4 months ago." Mrs. Doris Eyre King, 16 Abbey Road, Oxford, England. Laboratory tests show All-Bran contains two things which over come constipation: "Bulk" to ex ercise the intestines; vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. The "bulk" in All-Bran Is much like that of leafy vegetables. In side the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Certainly this is more natural than taking patent medicines often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. 1 All-Bran also supplies iron for the blood. At all grocers. In the red-and-green package. Made by Kellogg In Battle Creek. "I've been good and you call me bad now look out!" awarded to Mrs. Jack Brandt, first, and Mrs. Alvah Crowley, second.

WATCHMAN INJURED NEAR SPARKS, NEV. (Continued From Page One) ously wounded, Fish flagged the pilot train, that ran as a safeguard ahead of the president's special, when It came along and railroad police and secret service men searched the road bed and vicinity. Twenty additional sticks of dyna mite in a sack were found along the Western Paclflo right-of-way, above and 400 feet from the rails upon which the Bpeclal train was running. Lowe said there was no Indication that any attempt had been made to tamper with the rails or to dynamite the roadbed or the president's train, but was unable to explain the pres ence of the explosive. Tho special train was delayed 40 minutes while railroad police and special agents aboard the pilot train Bcarched the right-of-way and coun try nearby for. trace of the two men described by Fish. Lowe said. John F. Chester, -Associated Press staff correspondent accompanying the president, said none aboard the spe cial knew of the attack on the watch man and that secret service agents aboard said they knew nothing of the dynamite being found. Fish, Southern Pacific officials said, was taken to Carlln, Nev., on a gaso line speeder after the train continued on toward California. His condition was not serious, they said. Sheriff Harris said he had sent a deputy from Elko to learn . details of the attack but had heard nothing from him. When the train arrived here It was still 20 minutes behind schedule and stopped only long enough to change engines for the run up the Truckee river to cross the Sierra Nevada mountains through Dormer Pass and into California. Railroad officials said the presi dent and all his party were asleep when it passed through here.

The research, now going on at Columbia university, New : York, deals especially with the i effect of the machine on employ j.ment and the nation's resources, ' and reveals some startling facts.) ; By J. It, Braekett (Copyright, 1032, By Tho Associated : Press) , NEW YORK WV-For 7000 years, up to the beginning of the last century, the consumption of the earth's re source per person every day did not change appreciably. Then, suddenly, man found the machine, nnd today in the United States, only 100 years later, consump tion per person Is 75 times greater, nnd two-thirds of this Increase has come since 1000. These aro major findings of a 10 yoar research by Technocracy, the tltlo given a research group of tech nicians and engineers working at Columbia university under direction of Howard Scott. In these findings, Scott says, lies the basic cause of the present dis tress, and they foreshadow even greater distress in the future. ' In ancient Israel, Egypt, Greece, Rome, during the founding of Eng land, the power of Napoleon, the be ginnings of tho United States, man a to food, woro clothes nnd burned fuel to warm his home. These were tho principal Items consumed, and their consumption represented energy consumption. Exclusive of food, man man consumed 2000 calories a day a calory being a measure of energy. At the-beginning of the last cen tury man began to use the steam engine. The engine required coal, oil and water power. Their produc tion was for man, bo man, In effect, consumed the energy necessary for the machines. ' ; Thus, besides tho Items necessary for his physical exlstenco man now uses other of tho earth's resources and at the rate of 150.000 calories per capita a day, exclusive of food. This represents a gain of 76 times In a little more than a century after 7000 static years, most of the gain coming in the last 30 years calory .consumption being 46,000 calories per capita per day in 10 00. i .This extremely rapid gain In a so ciety entirely unprepared for it has produced similarly rapid economic gains and also violent fluctuations In the economic cycle, Scott says. Energy production remained at the rato of 2000 calorics a day for 7000 years. Suddenly It expanded. ( 'The expansion was quite smooth although rapid up to 1000, then It became moro. rapid and began to fluctuate violently because the social 'mechanism could not adapt Itself to tho Increasingly quick change. M. Fluctuation In energy produced re sulted In fluctuation In production ,of goods, thus fluctuation in employ ment and economlo distress. ' - Tho fluctuations are the basic causes of tho present depression, and they tend to gain in violence as me chanical efficiency Increases, Scott says, producing even more disastrous mellowing, are then given the benefit of that Lucky Strike puri fying process, described by the words "It's toasted". That's why folks in every city, town and hamlet say that Luckies are such mild cigarettes. It's toasted" That package of mild LuckU economlo changes, unless the method of operating the machine Is changed. In 1840 . the United States had slightly more than 12,000,000 popu lation and was witnessing the crude beginnings of the new means of energy transverslon, that Is, finding new machines, fuels and ways to use them to do work the steam locomo tive, for example. At that time the nation was pro during from coal and timber less than 75 trillion B. T. U. (a measure of energy) in order to drive Its sim ple machines, its factories, ships and to carry on other activities. In 1020 the United States had a population of 120.000.000, an Increase of 10 times over 1840, but energy produced had risen to almost 27,000 trillion B. T. U., or 363 times as much as in 1840. Most of this In crease occurred after 1900, for In that year production was 2840 trillion B. T. U. The, United States has produced energy (and with It the amounts of goods, since energy is necessary for all forma of production) much faster than the growth of the population and much faster In the last few years than It was possible for the people to consume the production. These facts point out with a new vividness, Scott says, that society has passed from the time only a cen tury ago when it moved at the speed of an ox-cart in a society equipped tb move at that rate and has entered on era. in which It Is moving at the i speed of an airplane In a society zunaamenrauy uncnangea , in eco nomlo and social metiiods. And, Scott says, unless the nation can Improve its methods of control ling the Boaial vehicle society Is likely to collapse Into wreckage the like of which man has never seen before. Only by adopting the technic now used for administering some of the more efficient Industries and then with Improvements In the whole sys tem can society function successfully In the face of the new advances. Scott says.
