UNREST TO END
WITH NEW YEAR
LONDON, Dec. 27 (fl1) Kurope
nt the yeur end la a continent of
l.-nyed nervea.
A Kurope hard hit by general
world depression turns anxiously
to 11131 for escape from wide
' hp read unemployment and domes
tic unrest in many countries.
Kuropo is at pence, but pence
still brlstlliiK with armaments. The
League, of Nations remulns an Jm
. jiortant but unHpoctaculur agent
) for social, economic and political
. recovery. The Kellofftf pact Is a
; steadying force.
A, "United States of Europe" la
but a dream or an Ideal, although
' M. Itrland at Geneva found 27 nu
' tinns that would admit Interest in
tho plan.
Oddly enough, the Ftalkans, the
; powder nuiKaislne of Kuropo, Is one
'. of the few bright spots on tho
' continental mup.
Discontent ill Turkey
Itussia, CJermany, Poland, Franco
' Italy, Turkey and Spain all havo
.their troubles, and tho Balkans arc
by no means without tho tinder to
'start another European conflict
. but tho first Ualkau conlercnco,
livid In Athens In tho autumn,
seems to havo inaugurated a new
era of good will.
Turkey has experienced riotous
discontent, and the dietator-proHU
dent, Keinal Pasha, In torn be
tween fascist nnd soviet forms of
government.
Other Kuropean countries are
wreKtlliiK with the same problem.
JtiiHHla continues to .cast Its un
certain shadow from the north.
Solid Heandlnavia is affected by
new thrusts by KuHsin on world
.'markets where commodity prices
-uro in a world slump.
Tho treaties that ended tho
world war are still under flro and
Hermans have not accepted the
finality of Poland's gate-way to tho
liaitlc.
Hitler Gains Prominence
In western Kuropo tho ancient
'. antagonism of Franco and Oof
many found new expression after j
t he Germn n elect Ions had ra lscd
Adolph Hitler and his "Nnzls,"
nationalists, to notoriety and tho
threshold of power. Germany faces
a Kiavo political' and economic slt
j,untion. I On tho Italian frontier Franco
. is at stalemate with Italy over dls-
urinnment and the good effect of
' tho London naval treaty Is thus
limited, At Geneva tho propnra-
Itory work for t- world disarma
ment ooiferM)co ; progresses very
slowly.

IteiiiK fat is no llKhthearted joke,
Just something for your thin
friends to "kid1' you about, Tills is
especially true If you uro a vigor
ous, healthy fat Individual, with a
good appetite and a successful di
gest 1 vo out fit. The whole medical
profession and the life Insurance
companies are out after fat, de
claring It must "go" If health nnd
long life arc to be enjoyed.
There uro many reasons why a
person may bo fat, or overweight.
And many Important tilings to be
considered before one decides (hey
are "overweight" and must begin
at once to follow some of tho fool
ish and very dangerous "reducing
diets" which uro really starvation
diets. Tho Hollywood diet craze of
last year undoubtedly reduced lliu
weight of thousands who foolishly
followed Its regimen through eigh
teen torturing days. And It wrecked
trio health of many perfectly well
but obese persons.
Tho proper way, itideed tho only
way, to get at tho whole facts re
garding overweight Is to go to your
physician for a health audit. Let
him weigh, measure and consider
all the factors, such as your family
type, age, occupation, exerclHe and
breathing, and on these findings
decldo whether or not your diet Is
the cause of your heavy poundage.
It may not be. Indeed It voi-y often
Is just as normal to be heavy as it
Is to be light In weight.
Therefore, the first step In de-
elding lo reduce your weight Is to
havo your family doetor ilceidc !
whether your excess welnht In lo

Drives Fat Away
For the average individual who
finds himself lo to 30 pounds ovor-
weight, the real cause for this ex-
I cess baggago is simple too much
food; too much "food heavy with
calories and too little of tho foolls
I which are rich In vitamins, min
erals and natural sugars, all tied
up in a compact bulk so that they
fill our stomach and, therefore,
satisfy our appetite.
And so one sure, healthful and
tiafo way to reduce Is to socle out
those splendid nature-built foods
, which meet the body's require
ments of II nu1, iron, bulk and a
proper amount of calories.
TI10 applo Is one of thu very
finest of such foods. It is rich in
minerals or ash, in vitamins it and
C and bulky with fiber. An apple,
(properly chewed and masticated In
the mouth, stays in tho stomach
only long enough for absorption
of lis sugars and acids and potent
minerals. Its caloric value Is high I
and It builds the body as well as
furnishing refreshing energy fori
the day's work. It docs not kill I
appetite It stimulates It. (
However, many norma) persona 1
who are healthy but overweight !
have found that an apple diet of 1
six or. 10 apples nnd nothing else:
for one day a week will produce j
a marked effect on weight with no
harm anil none of the hunger urgo j
that makes reducing diets a curse 1
to the rest of the family who have)
to suffer the bad temper and ;
moody dispositions which usually j
accompanies anti-fat experiments. !
Apples tor breakfast Instead of the
usual fattening breakfast bill of
laro will hold the calories down,
clear up tho digest ivo tract, 'chango
the Intestinal flora, provide tho
vitamins and minerals In their fin
est form ami furnish real energy
for tho days' work.
riven fat persons know they j
have to eat energy foods If they ;
I wish to do any work nnd build (
up resistance to disease. It is not
necesnary lo starve oneself to re- !
dure, or to ko thmiiKh 11 heroic
period oT huimer and suffering. A I
sensible selection of suitable foods.'
is easily made if one goes to the J
fruits and vegetables for tho bulk 1
of bis diet. I
"An apple diet keeps tho full
awav" Is true. '

So, too, have his cries that wore

Trotzky talked much after he
was brought to Istanbul by Soviet

talks no more.
One of his chief occupations
now Is stumming his own door In
the faces of scores of Itinerant
neWrtgalherers, mostly American.

to tills Island In the Marmora sun,
braving the wild nouth wind in a
small Turkish steamer on a pass

With luck, Ivan, the ruddy
young son of Trotzky, Is some
times visible and monosyllabic,
but Trotzky himself, never.
Nor Is. there any one in Istan
