ARMY AND NAVY
ACADEMIES CUT
GRID RELATIONS
West Point and Annapolis
Fail to Agree on Rules
Covering Eligibility.
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-After 3S
years of athletic relations the Army
and the Navy-West Point Military
Academy and the Naval Academy
at Annapolis-have severed rela-
tions.
Officials of the two schools last
night decided to end the football
relations which annually have re-
suited in one of the most colorful
games of the entire football season.
Last season the game drew $4,000
people at the Yankee stadium. The
preceding year 10000 people.
watched the game at Soldiers Field
in Chicago. -
The technical reason involved is
over eligibility. Both schools have
for years used players who had
played in other colleges before en-
tcring the academies.
Last season Harry Wilson was
captain of the Army team. He had
played three years at Penn State
before entering the military acade-
my and was an All-American back
there.
The Navy, at the close of this
year asked the Army to enforce the
regular collegiate rule against any
player who had played three years
on college team before entering
the academies, playing with one of
the service elcvens. This the Army
refused to aecede to and athletic re-
lations were broken off.
Army Says o. X.
Admiral l.. NJ. Mutton, command
ant of the naval academy, wrote Of
ficials of the military academy Dee.
ember 3 pointing out Annapolis had
accepted the three year collegiate
eligibility rule and that if the Army
disregarded, relations automatically
would be severed.
Major General +. b. Winans, sup
crintendent of the military acadc-
my, wrote in reply that the Army
would not accede to such n ruling
and that if the Navy desired to
schedule other games on the dates
already set for the ArmyNavy clas-.
sic it would meet with the rcgrctful'
approval of the military academy.
The Army has refused the three
year eligibility rule on the grounds
il has small stitution-smallcr
than the navy-and that none of
its cadets should he barred from
participation in tathleticsl despite
previous activities on the gridiron.
The ruling by the Navy means
that Tod Sloane, who caught a pass
End raced for touchdown against
the Army this year win be barred
from further athletic participation.
Among the Army stars who would
have been barred under the ruling
are Bud Sprague, captain-elcct for
next year; eagle, Murrell and Nave.

buckeye" that our grandfather car
ried in his pocket to ward Of rhsu-
n1atism.
THAT large group of noStrums for
= weight reduction which Is made of
chemical substances has in it's first
subdivision the ''pasteS" and soaps"
for external use. One preparation of
the paste type was supposed to con-
tain. among other things, bladder
wrack "a seaweeD, thyroid substance
and tincture of iodine. None of these
ingredients when applied externally
has the slightest effect in reducing
weight, but they are not uncommon
ingredients In advertised anti-fat rem
edies. Government chemists who an
alyzed this preparation declared that
it was essentially cents worth Of
soft soap selling for $1.5O. Indeed,
why not? 1t is just as easy to sell

cut cure as it is to humbug them with
more elaborate and expensive prod
uct-and the profits are greater.
Another obesity cure paste was in
troduced with an advertising campaign
that must have cost tens of thousands
of dollars. The obese were told that
by using this marvel they could take
inches off abdomens, remove double
chins, eliminate fat ankles, slenderize
the waste, trim down the neck and
reduce fat arms. AS q master stroke

the fraudulent claims are made on or
in the trade package. If the quack
confines his falsifying. as he usually
does, to newspaper advertisements or
circulars the Federal law is helpless: 1t
cannot touch him. The shrewd ex
ploiters of nostrums today avoid the
penalties of the Federal law by just
this means.
Some day it may be possible so to

no matter in what field they are made.
But that time is not yet.
Summed up, then, it can be said
that practically all of the so.called
obesity cures, except those few dan
gerouS products that contain desic-
Gated thyroid or MISUNDERSTANDING
drugs, are simply shrewd schemes for
fooling the obese.
While the advertising stresses the
claim that when these products or de-
vices are used it is unnecessary to
diet or exercise, yet a different story
is told in the instructions one gets
after buying the cure" There, either
by indirection or directly and with
brutal disregard for consistency. the
purchaser is told that she must cut
down on her total intake, must
sharply limit the amount OF sweets.

lar exercise.
Naturally. when such directions are
followed reduction in weight is likely
to take place, but 1t is the directions

The Drum Passes.

COME years ago the French gov
ernment, acting upon the recon-
mendation embodied in a report made
by committee of generals in its
army, decided that the drum must go.
The report asserted that the drum was
serious incumbrance in marching,
that rain impaired it's usefulness. that
it's calls were indistinguishable in bat
tie, that it consumed period of two
years to turn out an efficient drum
mer and that. by abandoning the use
of the drum many thousands of
youths and men would be released for
active service.
1t was not long before such others
of the European powers as retained
drum corps followed the example of
the French.
The history of the drum is both an
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed it, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention TO Bacchus. The Span.
ish conqueror Pizarro is said to have
found drums in South American tenn
pies. The snakes of Ireland, we are
told, fled from the Emerald Isle be-
fore the drun1-beats of st. Patrick.
The Puritans of New England used
the drum as a church bell, and it fig
ured frequently and romantically all
through our Revolutionary and Civil
Wars.

| will not reduce. This generalization is
not altogether correct, because there
are "cures" that contain powerful
| drugs which will so upset the diges-
tive functions that a reduction in
| weight may follow from sheer malnu-
triton. Even the most enthusiastic
exponent Of the svelte should consider
ruined digestion and shattered ner-
vouse system too high price to pay
for thinness.
An intensive study of medical frauds
and fads made over a period of nearly
20 years has convinced me that in the
whole realm Of quackery there is no
field that is more easily worked nor
| one that offers greater financial re-
turns to the medical sWindler than
that devoted to the exploitation of
cures" for obesity.
If in their physiologic effects RENE
| dies for overfatness fall into two great
classes, so in the matter of physical
and chemical. makeup they fall prac-
| tically without exception within one of
three groups. one Of which is so large
| that it calls for subdivision. Thus:
i. Mechanical devices.
2. Chemical substances: External
| Pastes, soaps and bath powders In
| ternal-Tablets, pills, powders, chew
| ing gums.
3. Reducing" breads.
| 1t must be borne in mind that some
| of the alleged cures combine in go
called treatment two or more of these
| types OF nostrums. Most Of the more
| widely advertised remedies, however,
| fall within one Of the three main divi-
| sions just given.
| The mechanical devices, while not
| new, are perennialiy popular. For
years rubber garments have been sold
under the claim that they are the only
| harmless and effectual method OF re-
| ducing superfiuous flesh. In fact, they
| may not be harmless and certainly are
| not effectual. Tight-fitting corsets, OF
soft rubber, to be worn next to the
skin, are sold for reducing the bust
| and hips, while chin bands" are dis
pensed under the claim that they will
| reduce double chins. Not a few OF
these devices are endowed with cura'
| tive claims for such conditions as
rheumatism" and neuritis.
| Alluring circulars are sent to those
who answer the advertisements for
these devices. "Before-Using" pic
| lures show woman of slouchy fig
ure. protruding abdomen and large,
| unshapely hips, who AFTER Using

ture has built on a different plan.

Now, aside from the support they

A rich biscuit dough should then
be made and formed into a lining
of a deep pie dish. The cut-up
chicken and other ingredients are
then placed in the pie and over it
is poured sauce made by cooking
the bones of the chicken and bits of
meat to make a taste. This then Is
strained and thickened with the flour
and butter.
The top of the pie Is then covered
with another layer of the biscuit
crust. This should be pricked so
that the steam can escape. The pie

one week you would notice a
reduction.
Another was described as a bathing
compound that would reduce your
weight, improve your health and--for
good measure--cure gout, rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The instructions
were to bathe daily for 81 days, eat
nationally and exercise moderately.
Excellent advice that might be fol.
lowed indefinitely instead of for merely
81 days-and reduction might easily
follow. But the bathing compound
would have nothing to do with the
result, for chemical analysis disclosed
that this was simply dried washing
soda.
OF course the sweating induced by
many of these baths will temporarily
reduce the weight of the body by the
amount of sweat excreted. Obviously,
however. within a few hours the body
receives enough additional water to
make up the loss.
The largest subdivision of the chemi-
cal group of obesity cures is that Of
the pills, capsules and tablets for in
ternal use. Their name Is legion. AS
has been already stated they can
broadly be divided into two groups,
those that contain dessicated thyroid
and may In certain cases produce a
reduction In weight, and those that do
not contain this substance and will not
reduce.
Thyroid is a powerful substance
that should never be taken except un-
der a physicians supervision. When
