That Is the Prescription Of DR..
Royal Copeland, Who
Ought to Know.
BY Co.mopoIitan New. Service.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Stout Ma
lacca walking sticks are almost In.
separable cronies OF health. IL Is set
forth in Overweight, Guard Your
Health" a new volume by CorSmis-
'sioner Royal S. Copeland, copies Of
whihh the health chief distributed
today among the stout members Of
his staff
In the book he explains how he
helped fifty women to lose n total
or seven feet of waist line and a
half ton of weight. lie says that
the two chief causes for overweight
are lack of appropriate exercise and
eating excessive amounts OF fat
producing foods.
According to the commissioner a
man OF fifty years who carries fifty
extra pounds has reduced his eX.
pectation OF life so per cent.
You know how army men carry
swagger sticks" he says in his
book. "a thing of this kind or a
very light cane seems TO have some
psychological effect on its posses
sor. Acts as a reminder to stand
up straight and to hurry along in
q soldierly manner. Try IT."
THE auto is the enemy OF many
a slim figure. Lolling on the Cush-
ions of n motor car will do more to
put on flesh than almost any other
habit. Add to this luxury a box of
chocolates daily. and you have a
combination impossible TO withstand.
Fatness will come on apace."

BALTIMORE, April ga nation.
wide cleanup in political parties IL
demanded by the League OF Women
Voters. The 1000 delegates to the
third annual convention or the
league, which formally adjourned to-
day, will go back to their home
States to demand an end of boss
rule" and equal place for the women
on all party committees and conVen-
tions.
1--WE are going to begin at the bot.
tom-the precinct. When we get
enough women on precinct commit
tees in both parties in every town
and city In the country, the women
will have the power to tell the par.
ties what they want ana get II. said
Mrs. Richard Edwards. Of Peru, Ind,
first vice president OF the league.
"The precinct is the foundation OF
the party machine and that's where
the women must start TO get any.
where in politics
Congress is needing woman's voice,
officers OF the league declared, re-
porting on the results OF the confer
ence which the delegates hal with
their Congressman and Senators in
Washington yesterday.
1--WE told Congress we wanted
chiefly two things--the outlawing OF
war and independent citizenship
rights for married women" said
Mrs. Edwards. ITO outlaw war. we
told our Congressman that the
United States must enter a world
federation of nations. The reports
OF the State delegations after their
conference at the Capitol show one
of two things-either Congress be.
Tleves that the hour has come TO put
an end to war or IL willing to accept
the word OF women as experts on
what the country wants"
Each delegation was impressed
with the fact that members OF Con
gress are eager to know what
the women want. Mrs. Edwards
added.
Selection OF the next convention
place OF the league will be left
with the national board. which
meets in Washington next Monday.
The executive committee of the
league which was in session here
this mQrning, voted TO defer all
action TO the board.
Contestants for the next conyen'
ton are Houston. Louisville. At

West Indiana, and San francisco.
