IF you r too lat. you'd better diet.
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.

The Supreme Issue: - - A World

By Dorothy Thompson

Tribune, Inc.
"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.

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."

ifvj Inatance the
little nodules or

only by the woman herself who
naturally feels embarrassed about
her appearance. 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

one-eighth to one-half Inch long)
and then show no further change.
They remain an Indefinite time,

Sixty per cent of cases sre in
women, only an occasional case In

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

might result. This desiccates or dries

ful If used In this way constantly?
Mrs. W. J. W.
Answer No, vinegar Is not harm
ful, but lemon Juice is always prefer
able in any recipe of the sort, for
lemon juice Is a food, oxidized and
utilized in the body, .contains con
siderable vitamin C, opposes acidosis,
Increases alkalinity of blood and
urine. Vinegar Is not utilized in the
body, not oxidized, acts as acid for
