class condition others began to take notice. During the session of 192l-22 the number has steadily increased so that now a large proportion of those either overweight or underweight are taking the steps necessary for greater comfort and efficiency.
 Two typical cases may be cited:
 Case X. Weighed 95, should have weighed 122. It was found that she was eating only 1000 calories a day She should have eaten about 1900. Without any change in diet except in quantity her weight began to in- crease. At the end of the first week she weighed 9s; second week 100; third week, 102; fourth week, 102; fifth week, 105; sixth week, 107 eleventh week, IT, when she was adjudged normal and her case dis missed.
 Case XIII. Weighed 14s pounds. Should have weighed 124. In three months her weight was 13o. Her general good feelings and her eff ciency increased in proportion to the approach to normal.
 Not less important than nutrition is elimination. Nearly 50 per cent of the students coming to the uni versity are suffering from constipa- tion. resulting in headaches, ner- vousness, and general inefficiency It is part of the work of the hy- giene department to train the stu dents into the correction of these deficiencies.
 This too. like the nutrition work, has been steadily on the increase In popularity, so that now for the first time considerable numbers of stu. dents of the summer school are talk ing advantage of the opportunities es offered, not only to increase their own efficiency. but to become health missionaries throughout the state and thus more rapidly bring to full fruition the Characterization of hygi- enc.
 If this can only be continued until a sufficient number of persons have been reached, 1t will aid in removing from the state some of it's heaviest physical handicaps and in giving to our people an equal economic chance with those of other sections of the country.
 As to methods pr. Byrd adds that teaching is by lectures, quiz and specific projects. When scarle, fever appeared in dormitory at the university 1t was used as a problem for study in the class. When there were a few cases of typhoid In the university last fall, the class at- tempted to trace the cause. The de- tails of this outbreak are now being studied in th, summer school. Yes terday yoang woman was found to have p.alaria. Her case is to be made a class clinic. Last Saturday class was taken to the offices of the city board of health to witness the administering of salvarsan and the Pasteur treatment. Nutrition is treated individually. each person having his or her own record and reporting at the office once . week for conference.

STRIKE SUMMARY
REPUBLICAN A. P. Leased Wire1

The second day of the country wide
coal mine strike passed quietly With
both sides preparing for the first test
Of strength. expected today.
Union officials maintained that
600 900 men, Of whom 100000 were
non union miners, were idle Saturday
and that $500 mines were closed
While not disputing these figures,
operators declared many of these men
would return to work today, as Sat
urday was observed as a holiday.
West Virginia operators also were re-
ported to be preparing to reopen
unionized mines on an open shop
basis.
In the main, however, both sides
were expected to observe a tacit truce,
no effort being made for the time be-
ing to operate the mines.
In the meantime the eyes Of the
country will be turned on Washington
where John i. Lewis, international
president of the miners, win appear
before a congressional committee TO
testify regarding strike issues. Gov
ernment officials have held that only
the existence of an emergency could
Justify government Intervention and
that such an emergency does not at
present exist.
Reports from most OF the unioniZed
fields indicated that Sunday passed
quietly In many sections an exodus
from mining TO other industrial dis
triCts had already begun and, thou
sands more were expected to drift
away from the coal fields during the
week

CONFERENCE RESULT
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIre1

ROME. April 2--"I am sanguine OF
the results of the Genoa conference
because I believe that all its dele
gates realize the great responsibility
they have undertaken. L believe also
that the public opinion of the entire
world is with the delegates in their
great mission" Foreign Minister
Schanzer said today on the eve Of his
departure for Genoa.
II consider that the Genoa confer
nece will be the greatest historical
event since Versailles" the foreign
minister continued. II do not mean
that miracles can be expected at Ge-
noa or that all the great information
al problem affecting the world will
be solved there. But on the other
hand, it would be a great mistake TO
look forward to it with doubt or
sllepticism.
"For the first time since the war,
victors and vanquished will meet TO
discuss European interests. Partici-
patton in the conference by the Ger
mans and the Russians constitutes a
factor the importance of which is
undeniable The first discussions will
lay the foundation for the future
work which is intended to give new
impulse to the economic life of Eu-
rope.
"The conference will at least clar-
ify the whole European situation. |
assert explicitly that the conference
will not assume the character of a
permanent organization. but Will
represent an important stage on the
road over which Europe must pass in
order TO reach the needed equili-
brium."

NEW YORI-. April 2.The most

this afternoon in the home of Albert

Washing Square, North. when four
armed bandits overpowered Mr.. and
Mrs Shattuck and their seven serV-
ants, bound them all with rope,
locked them in wine cellar ana

The robbers ransacked the dwell
ing for an hour and a half, but as
they We're leaving one was captured,
and in an overcoat he had abandoned
in his flight through Washington
square jewels valued at $4,000 were
found.
The alarm was given by the but

and. running to a neighbor's house
while the thieves We're still at work,
telephoned the police.
Racing in a taXicab to the Shat-
tuck home, the police arrived as the
four robbers were leaving. The
robbers scattered as they fled, pur-
sued by hundreds in the square.
Three escaped.
The seven servants-two buffers. a
door man. three maids and cook
were at dinner in the pantry on the
basement floor when one of the
robbers gained admittance to the
house on pretense that he was IN
urgent need OF q telephone.
Mr. Shattuck. who is past SO. was
seated in the library and Mrs Shat
tuck in the living room adjoining.
Neither knew what was going on IN
the basement when the robbers were
admitted.
The servants dropped their knives
and forks in fright as the four in
truders covered them with reVoiV-
ers and ordered them to hold UP their
hands and make no noise. Rope then
was obtained from a storeroom near
the pantry and the hands OF each
were tied behind their backs. Three
of the servants then were marched
TO the wine cellar and the other
four to vault on the same floor
and all were locked in.

SET TTLEMENT
Of FINANCE
CODE HOPED
FOR TO-DAY
Appropriation Bill Subject
Of Weekend Confer
ences; Plan May Be
Ready This Afternoon

There was a growing hope through
out yesterday that some sort of an
agreement might be reached on the
financial code despite the position in
which it was left in the house on Sat-
urday evening. Conferences were held
throughout the day with the leaders
on both sides and it was stated last
night that possibly some plan might
be announced this afternoon.
Nothing can be done in the matter
of the general appropriation bin until
plan with respect to the code is
agreed upon, and in the event that no
agreement can be reached there will
be no need of action on the general
supply bill. The state institutions can.
run on after a fashion on the appro-
priations made by the general appro
priation bill of the regular session for
the years 1928, excepting of
course, the university which has been
taken care of in a separate bill, the
provisions of which were to be trans
ferred to the financial code. The tax
anticipation bond measure would take
care of the more imminent needs of
the state until the next regular ses-
sion of the legislature.
There is little before either house
now demanding attention. There is
so little, in fact, in the house that ON
Saturday morning there was nothing
on the house calendar, though there
were four or five measures on the
committee calendar.
There will come before the senate
today Substitute House Bill 49, an
amendment to the county highway
commission act and with it a senate
bill providing for the abolition of the
commissions.

Lewis Claims Coal
Strike Is Hundred
Per Cent Effective
fRspubIIcan 4. ?. leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, April 2.--The ma
tional coal strike is 100 per cent ef-
fective in the unioniZed bituminous
and anthracite mines of the country
and is getting support in non union
territory, John l.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, declared
today on his arrival here to attend
congressional hearings tomorrow.
There are 500. 600 miners ready to
stay out of mines, indefinitely until
the operators are ready TO discuss
with us the question of new wage
agreements in the central competi-
tive field" Mr.. Lewis declared. adding
that while the union "courted investi-
cation for itself and the bituminous
industry, it seeks no government in
teryention, but does ask for the sup
port of public opinion in forcing the
operators to continue collective bar
gaining with miners over wage and
working conditions.
Discussing coal reserves and the ef-
feet of the strike on the interests of
consumers, Mr.. Lewis strongly ex-
pressed his opinion that a pinch
would come earlier than expected. He
declared non-union mine production
had been greatly exaggerated, and
that operators had been more or less
openly following tactics that forced
a strike so they could get higher
prices and greater profits
There won't be a single man re-
turning to work this week" Mr..
Lewis said, from the 100000 men
who went out. 1t takes a little
longer in the non union fields for us
to get the reports. In the West Nir-
ginia Pan Handle, for instance, right
along the Ohio line, there are about
5000 or 5000 men in non union mines
for whom meetings are being held
today. They'll probably be out to-
morrow. There are meetings here and
there in non-union territory all over
the United States today.
wen get the returns later. In the
union territory we know what hap
pened; the operators aren't even go
ing to try and run the mines"

why did we fix this figure which
