If you have a bay window (or a pod, If that terms meana more to you) you'd better exercise and jet rid of It. (Thla advice cornea from Insurance company statisticians, and la directed at MEN. The women have been fol lowing It pretty generally for years not necessarily for health reasons, but In order to appear becomingly allm). THESE statisticians report that distinctly PAT men that is to -aay, those who are 88 percenti or more above average weight die ONE AND A HALF1 TIMES as fnst as men of average weight. This fact, they add, holds good even among Insured overweights, who are specially selected by medical ex aminations as free from any other aerloua ailment. MEN from 35 to 34 per cent over weight, they assert, have an ex cess mortality of 48 percent, which means that they are 48 percent MORE LIKELY to die than their slimmer comrades. Men 18 to 34 percent overweight have an excess mortality of 30 per cent. Even those who are only SLIGHTLY overweight pay the pen alty of a mortality mte higher than that for men of average weight. UP to age 30, It's quite all right to be a trifle heavy. But after that. LOOK OUTI From 80 to 39, It's OK to be average. Prom 40 to 40, you'd better atay slightly under average Prom 80 on, you'll be wise If you stay distinctly UNDER WEIOHT. AND for the love of Pete, If you want to go on living, don't let yourself get POT-BELLIEDI The guy with waistline two Inches greater than his cheat girth at full expansion haa an extra mor tality FIFTY PERCENT over and above that of the fellowa who are merely over-welght. (Remember that the chaps who are over-weight from 3ft to 35 per cent, according to these statistical shsrps. hsve a handicap of aome thing like 45 percent). IN the face of these figures, It's clearly up to men who are smart and wsnt to go on living snd get ting smarter to eat lesa and exer cise more for that's about the only ura way to stay under-welght.

"And the moral of It all Is." said the Grouse, "that If you temporise with the Ideas of gangsters, by snd large you have the gangsters In tbe parlor.' , "The moral of til what?" "The moral of the news In this morning's paper," replied the Grouse, "And yesterday morning's, ard prob ably tomorrow's." t "Internationally speaking," he con tinued, "thla whole business began In Manchuria. Everybody hsd signed certain aorta of agreements. They agreed to respect the territorial Integ rity of other nations, even of other nations that they didn't approve of. They agreed not to resort to war as an instrument of national policy. Then one of them said, "There are a lot of bandits running around In China, and also s tot of capitalistic Interests exploiting them, snd also there Is s lot of loot to be gotten out of China In the shape of land and resources, and, therefore. It becomes our historic mlaaton to preserve order there, and that historic ml salon Is more Impor tant than mere agreements. The wel fare of the nation, after all takes pre cedence over such trifles ss Interna tional law or International contracts. "And the other nations were quite upset and said, 'Tat. tst, tat. But that's all they said or did. And good people all over the world said, 'War Is the worst evil. At all costs we must avoid war. Besides, the Japanese need more room. And Manchuria Is a long way off. It can't happen here.' "Fine Idea" "And then," continued the arouse. "If I may further elucidate the primer, other nations, looking on, aald, 'That was a fins Ides on the part of Japan.' And one of them said, 'Look at Ethiopia. It's a terrible place. There la human slavery there, and the most backward civilization. Besides, it's located in sn elegant, strategic position, and In a lot of places we can grow food that Is bad ly needed, and the national welfare demands that we take it. And the national welfare takes precedence over International contracts, as la Illustrated by Japan. So Italy Invad ed and conquered Ethiopia. And a lot of good people said, 'War Is the world's worst evil. Anyhow, the Ethiopians sre a lot of barbarians. This Is a white man's world. It can't happen here.' And nothing was done about It. "And then," continued the Grouse. "Oermany said, 'What right has the reat of the world to tell ui that we can't do as we please -on our own territory? And what's the good of spending a lot of time in futile talk? It's true that a preceding government algned a treaty called the treaty of Locarno, but what Is a treaty among realists?" So they broke It. "And the world said, 'After all, the Germans were badly treated. And you can't expect a vigorous and long- suffering people to take thlnKS on the chin indefinitely, even If they did make agreements. War Is the worst evil, it can't happen here.' And nothing was done about It. Average American Given 6th Grade Reading Rate NEW YORK (UP)-The average per son In the United states belongs in the sixth grade of elementary school In reading ability, according to a sur vey Just completed by Dr. Julius P. Neumueller. Dr. Neumueller'a survey took 10 yesra to complete. Involved the co operation of optical solentlsts and ed ucators, and Included reading testa of moro than 8.000 subjects of all ages throuhuut the country. Among the Important flndlnga were: Only as per cent of the persona aurveyed read efficiently. Ninety per cent of failures In the first three school grades are due to poor reading habits. College students read 319 words a minute, on the average. And the normal fast reader la gen erally the moat efficient reader In absorbing text content and likewise the most efficient worker. Result evidenced by these teste. Dr. Neumueller asserted, leada to the conclusion that the American peo ple of today are not equipped tor the reading load placed upon them by the educational, social, economic and political system which they have de veloped. Two Instrument were used In the teata an opthalm-o-graph and a metron-o-acope. The former Inetru ment Is a device which photographs and automatically recorda eye move ments on strip of film permitting easy and rapid study of the function al efficiency of the two eyea In bin ocular fixation. The latter la a simple, triplex shutter, short exposure device designed to control mechanically the reading situation. The shutter feature compela reading by the subject in a rhymloal left-to-r'.ght sequence and condltlona an accurate return sweep. The rrsctlon time i controlled by limiting the letwtth of expoiure Aa the material cannot be re-read re gressive movements within the line are discouraged. Speaking of the findings, Dr Neu mufiler Sflid: "The volume of general publk. tlons read by the average adult has Increased no per cent since 190O. Today, efficient reading I, vitally Im portant In the buMneea and Industrial world. It la also Interesting to note that the average pupil In the schools today reads at least 15 per cent as much as a pupil at the same level of Instruction in 1000. "Fxperlmentsl data indicate thst tven In term, of mefhsn'.cal efficien cy a latft percentage of college stu- psnlih Struggle "Well, and then the SpanUh people began going through a bad Interna tional struggle. It was their own struggle snd there Isn't any clairvoy ant gifted enough to tell . how It might have come out. Because Ger many snd Italy said, 'Maybe they are going to get communism In Spain. Communism must at all costs be prevented. The prevention of com munism Is our mission. It takes precedence over all such nonsense as not reverting to wsrs as sn instru ment of national policy. Besides a war Isn't a wsr unless you declare It. You can make war In a great many ways. You can, for Instance, make It under a ' non-intervention agree ment.' "And the good people of the world said, 'War Is the worst evil. At all ! costs It should be prevented. It can't happen here.' "And that." said the Grouse, "brings us down to the morning papers: to the speech of Mr. Cham berlain, and to the article of Mr. Farlnacct. By a perfectly logical pro cess, the events which started in Manchula are now gathered up in a cyclone to shake the world. A little while ago a few people, In countries that don't went war, were saying. 'War la Inevitable; real, large -scale world war, unless we Insist right now, right this minute, that agreements mean what they say. It's better to risk a small war right now for the sske of agreements, than a big war, which will surely come If this process of breaking treaties Is allowed to go on.' "But moat people in those countries that don't want war said: 'Keep cool. Watch and wait.' "And now It's the other side which is ssylng, 'Better risk war right now than wait until the people we shall have to fight are armed. For now we are strong; we have taken position after position; but there Is a limit to human patience and so let's strike before that limit h's been reached. That is the sense of Farlnsccl's arti cle. '.That's an article designed for the home folks And, of course, there's another opinion expressed in the Italian plan, designed for peaceful nations, 'Go on washing and keeping cool. We aren't going to do anything very dangerous. Just something 'a little dangerous.' ' "The morsl for us Is that domestic affairs proceed just ss International affairs do. If they sre going to be governed by lew, then the time to risk a fight Is the moment the lew is broken. Laws sre broken for only one purpose to gain ends that can not be achieved quickly by legal means. And the breaking of laws Is always Justified by the desirability or nobility of the ends. If the Commit tee for Industrial Organization breaks the law it Is all right, because labor has gotten a raw deal. If the econo mic roysllsts break the tax laws they ought to be persecuted, because the tax laws sre bad, "And the final stage of all such procedures Is the same things sre settled by force. And then the right or wrong, the nobility of vlclousness of the end haa nothing to do with the outcome. The outcome depends only on who has the most guns." , dents cannot attain the college read ing norms. I "I believe scientific teata of read j Ing apeed, the maturity and character I of reading habits, and the compre j henston ability of both children and adulta will become a commonly ae ; cepted practice among eye apeclal- Ista. These will be followed, In turn, by the Introduction of scientifically controlled reading methods designed to compel reading In a rhythmical left to right aequenoa, with an ac ourato return aweep, and designed to develop In the Individual an efficient and comprehensive meana of reaction to the printed page."

In some esses xan thoma occurs in the skin about the elbows, snkles or elsewhere, though the most familiar slte Is in or near the eyelids, partialis rly the upper eyelids. The yellow plates sre soft to the feel and the skin over them Is nor msl. They reach their full size (from one-eighth to one-half Inch long) and then show no further change. They remain an Indefinite time, many years, do no harm, merely an noy the victim as a blemish. Sixty per cent of cases sre in women, only an occasional case In a child. Half of the patients who present xanthoma give a hietory of being subject to migraine periodic sick headache). Sometimes several cases occur in a family. Two slaters (Identical twins) had rings of xan thoma completely encircling their eyes. After unsuccessful attempts In a hospital to remove the patches with caustic, which almost Inevitably fsils, they were both treated with electrosurgery. In about ten sittings, painlessly and without interfering with their normal activities. Tills brought about complete obliteration of the patches. The treatments were preceded by Infiltration anesthesia wl th a very fine need le over the area to be treated. A small pointed needle electrode connected to the monotermlnal high frequency outlet Is applied, current strength that will produce a millimeter spsrk on futguratlon. The spark must not be more Intense, as scar formation might result. This desiccates or dries out the tissue of the patch. Such a treatment, to a different patch, once a week, gives the desired result with out troublesome reactions. This method hns proved more satisfactory QO-Mclntyre NEW YORK, July S.

But, slightly modified, it could push up the per centage of govern ment Jobs under the merit system from the present 60 per cent until it crowded 95.
