How Much Should We welsh7

A simple way to ascertain ones
ideal weight was told recently by
DR.. Harvey G. Beck of the Univer-
sity of Maryland in an address before
the Los Angeles County Medical asso-
citation at Los Angels, Cal.
First, put down ITO. Then multiply
by 51a the number Of inches by which
ones height exceeds five feet. Add the
result of the multiplication to the orig
inal 40 and the sum is ones ideal
weight.-Popular Science Monthly.

The revolt in the navy. these officers

AS one possible explanation Of the
navy revolt they pointed out that
ever since submarine war fare was
started by the Germans the British
have adopted the consistent policy of
suppressing Information as to the
fate of the submarines sent to the
bottom by their patrols. The policy
was adopted as a. deliberate method
of breaking down the morale of the
submarine crews.
