A message to the Associated Press gave
the ship credit for crossing in days

easily a new record

OF all the vacation plans that went

ably the most unusual were those of

ham of Massachusetts.
To track the tiger that eluded him
on his last big game hunt in widest
Africa and bring home the animals

hoofs of other beasts to complete an
amazing collection is his ambition,
which he now hopes to achieve within
two years.
Then he will add safari in Abyssin-
Ia. the Sudan and Indo-China to his
experiences in Kenya and India. After
that. he believes, he will be content to
rest with his mementos in his home
here.
The home now harbors a farrago
of possessions.

Generally speaking. care must

be not cut down too much.
1t is far better to reduce
gradually, say three to six
pounds q month. than to at

single week. VI
Indeed, the safest plan Is to
reduce, say, pounds q month
for four months. then keep this
weight for several weeks, and
so on until the final desirable
and healthful weight Is reached.
When man or woman
undertakes to reduce he should
at once familiarize himself with

there are many scientific books
written IN popular style which
can be bought or borrowed

Reducing Is not, you see,
merely a matter Of cutting
down the amount Of food in

necessarily carry a high caloric
value. while certain concen-
trated foods may be rich In
