Ten Years Go
When Fat Goes
And millions knoev
q gerry easy Way

Excess fat is usually inexcusable, and
millions of people know that. That
blight to style and beauty, health and
fitness need not be continued. The
years that it adds can be dropped.
The modern way of fat reduction is
Marmo1a Prescription Tablets. No I'M
usual exercise or diet is required. SIM
ply take four tablets daily until weight
comes down to normal. 1t does not
usually take long. Marmola has been
used for 10 years. Delighted users have
told others about it until the use has
spread everywhere. Now people are
taking very large amount.
You see the results in every cir1e.
Slenderness is common, excess fat is
rare. Ask those people who have gained
new youth, new beauty in this scientific
way. They will urge you to use what
hey used.
Go learn what Marmo1a means to
you. Watch the results. You will al
ways be glad that you learned of this
modern method.
Marmola prescription tablets are
sold by all druggists at 81 per box.
If your druggist is out, he will get

Last year Senator Shlpstead OF
Minnesota introduced a bill provid-
ing for regulation of such private de-
velopments and it is expected a new
measure will be presented for action
at this session. The National Capital

prepared a draft of a proposed meas
ure. which differs somewhat from the
bill presented last year.
Interest in the proposed regulatory
measure has increased considerably
recently due to the inauguration of
the great Federal building program
south of Pennsylvania avenue. The
proposed law would be for the pur-
pose of protecting such monumental
structures from the blight of private
buildings of uniting design which
might be erected on adjoining prop

Yesterday morning by David Jones,
colored, janitor of an apartment at
1880 K street, who fired and wounded
a man whom he detected attempting
to raise an apartment window.
The shots of Jones, who is veteran

that he moved away when accosted.
Early yesterday morning, however, he
watched him as he attempted to enter
one apartment and failed, and then
endeavored to raise the window of
another, directly above the janitor s
quarters.

The colored veteran yelled at him

MEETING Of BRAND
AND DUCE DENIED
French and Italians at Gene
va Indicate Conference
May Come Later.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. December THE French
delegation to the League of Nations
today denied a report printed in Paris
that Foreign Minister BRAND and
Premier Mussolini of Italy would meet
tomorrow at Domo D'Ossolo, Italy, in
railway car.
In League circles, however, there Is
manifest expectancy that an interview
between BRAND and Mussolini will oc-
cur eventually.
Vittorio Scialoja, Mussolini's repre-
sentative at the League Council, con-
ferred with BRAND for two hours yes
terday. chiefly on Franco-ltallan rela-
tions.
Scialoja today authorized the state
ment that no arrangements had been
made for meeting of the two states
men, but that his interview with
BRAND was very satisfactory.
May Meet Half Way
In French circles the opinion was
voiced that BRAND was unwilling to
go as far as Rome, but would be dis
posed to meet Mussolini half way, say
at the Swiss-Italian frontier or at Nice.
In Italian circles the view prevailed
that the meeting would be useless un-
less BRAND was ready to submit con-
crete proposals to Mussolinl, especially
on an economic outlet for the IN
creaSing Italian population.
The Italians were inclined to think
that the meeting would not be ar
ranged until Maurice de Beaumar-
chais, the new French Ambassador,
assumes his post at Rome and gets
in touch with Mussolini.
A Geneva dispatch to the Paris
edition of the Chicago Tribune said
that BRAND and Mussolini would
meet at Domo D'Oss0la to discuss cur
rent problems of interest to France
and Italy with a view to improving
relations between the two countries.

the Staying plot and the arrangements
for him to do away with the defend

Truesdale's story of his engagement
to slay Remus and his efforts to find
Remus alone to kill him was blood
curdling. He narrated it in a we'll
practiced way, and in such low voice
that parts of his testimony had to be
read to the jury by the court reporter.

and said that another $4,000 would be

Robertson said.
Several speakers at the morning ses-
sion today declared that progress of
the art of flying is being held back
by the jurisdictional restrictions that
proclaim it to be difficult. Some said
that flying is no more difficult than
management of an automobile, and
that SO out of 100 flyers of today
would not have entered aviation had
they been bound about by the restric-
tions in effect today and those pro.
