Times PLAN
BENEFITS
MANY

Still short of the halfway
mark, The Washington Times
Hollywood revised 18-day diet
is already beginning to have a
beneficial effect upon the hum
dreds of persons in and about
the National Capital who are
following the diet menus as
printed daily in The Times.
Publication of the special menus.
as revised by Alfred w. Mccain,
internationally recognized dietary
expert, from the original Hollywood
diet. today goes into the eighth
day. The menu for this day will
be found in these columns.
Subsequent menus Of the diet will
be published here on succeeding
days.
Many Report Progress
Out of the hundreds of telephone
calls and letters being received at
the office of the Diet Editor of
The Times every day, it is possible
already to pick out scores which
have announced that the dieters
are achieving beneficial results
from following the special menus.
Most of those who have told the
Diet Editor verbally or by letter
that they are succeeding in the
purposes of the diet are women.
On the other hand, there has been
q considerable sprinkling Of men,
and several OF the women have re-
ported that they are speaking on
behalf of their husbands who are
following the diet.
Z The Times desires, now that the
diet Is approaching the halfway
mark, that those who have followed
it write to this newspaper and tel
of the results. The letters win be
published unless the writer desires
otherwise.
Advice Is Asked
Several persons have written
wanting to know whether or nos
they should repeat the diet after
the first 1S-days in case the first
course does not reduce their weight
to the point they desire.
In this regard the best thing for
the dieter to do is to follow his
own Judgment. always having due.
regard for his or her own health
and physical condition. Care should
be taken 20 as not to weaken the
system too greatly.
Persons who are defective physi.
cally should consider carefully be-
fore attempting to follow the rigor-
sous diet. In general such persons
should not follow any diet except
one prescribed by a physician
familiar with their particular cases.

S250,O0O loss
IN PH|LA. fire

PHILADELPHIA, July Is Q.N.Sg.
Punctuated by deafening blasts OF
exploding chemicals. the most spec.
tacular blaze ever seen on the
waterfront here razed the Terminal
Warehouse Company pier at De.a-
ware Avenue and Green Street to-
day. Nearby structures were dam
aged by the blaze and explosions.
The explosions. caused by tanks
of ammonia, chlorine. suIphate and
other chemicals which had been
stored on the pier, we're heard for
miles, and Philadelphia and Camden
police were swamped by telephone
calls from excited citizens. Pour
alarms were sounded in rapid sue
cession, but fireznen could do little
in controlling the flames as blast
after blast rocked the 400-foot pier,
keeping them at distance.
Several firemen received minor in.
juries and others were suffering
from inhaling the poisonous fumes
Of the exploding chemicals. Loss
was estimated at between $250,O00
and 100000.
Repeated blasts endangered fire
men who heroically braved danger
to direct hose lines on the blazing
pier and the highly-infl flammable
chemicals.
Buildings across Delaware Avenue
were shaken to their foundations
and virtually every window was
shattered. Wreckage was hurled
six blocks away to Second and Vine
Streets, and smashed through a
building on the southwest corner.
Firemen struggled with the
flames for hours and concerted
their efforts to checking further
spreading Of the fire when It be-
came apparent that the warehouse
was doomed.

During the months of September and October there have been no births recorded in the town Of Ecr- lin. and, though the records show that the stork has been somewhat busy. during these two months the births in Berlin families occurred either in the New Britain General hospital or in the Hartford hospital.
