British public golfs too much and
eats too much, according to Dr..
Leonard Williams, 4 Harley Street
specialist and corresponding men,
her of the American CliMatological
Society.
As for golf, the game has a bad

sician "A man loses his match.

is bad tempered His thoughts are
on the next game which he vows
ne will win. And too often he is
disconnected until he does win
The way the English take their
food is almost as disturbing to nf.
Williams as the way they take their
golf. 1T is not realized by the pub
lie that it takes as much energy to
digest an English meal as 1t does
to take five mile walk. People
eat far too much. The day is start
ed with heavy breakfast; a full
meat lunch follows; then there is
tea. accompanied by scenes and
cakes; and finally there is dinner
running to several courses. This is
far more than can be properly dl-
eestad.
1T would be saner and healthier
to start with a Continental break
fast. and follow it with light
lunch. Tea should be a cup of
tea ard nothing more. Dinner then
could remain what it is.

AGAINST RAIL
WAGE CUTS
Coolidge Thinks Freight Rate
Cuts Should Come Else
where

Washington. Nov. %. - President
Coolidge feels that if a reduction of
freight rates is made at this time
il should be accomplished through
reduction in operating costs rather
than at the expense Of wages of rail
road employees.
Present conditions, in the opinion
Of the president, do not warrant a
reduction in railroad wages, where
as he does believe sufficient econo-
mics can be made in operating ex-
penses to permit reduction in
freight rates if such is found FEAST
BILE.
The presidents views on railroad
wages were made known to visitors
yesterday but he did not discuss any
plans he may have for railroad leg
islation at the short session of con-
grcss, nor did he go into detail III
speaking of possible reduction at
this time in railroad freight rates.

USED YEARS AS
PAPER WEIGHT

London, Nov. 22.-Declared to be
tie largest sapphire in the world, Il
Jewel. once used as common paper
weight. has been brought from India
and is now being offered for exhibi-
ton in London. The jewel is worth
more than $4,000, weighs 9l6 carats
and is in the form of Il plucked flow
er with Il short stem. 1t was acqulr-
ed by a government official in India
who. ignorant of its value, used it as
Il paper-weight in one of the guard
| huts on the Indian frontier.
The discovery of the Jewel was
made by the director of Indian Rev
cnue when he visited the outpost. Its
history has been traced to the
twelfth century when one of the Bel
lalla kings, while on Il pilgrimage to
, Ceylon, was given the sapphire by Il
! Buddhist monk. During the reign
of this king the stone became the
! object of much veneration and was
| afterwards captured by Malik kaffur
the great general of Allandan. Late,
! it came into the possession of &
state official, but was lost about 1879
