Keeping the Body Thin

XXTE make a great deal of diet
w these days, because we have
so much from which to choose.
Our forefathers made a great deal
Of it, because they had to.
For ten thousand years the prob
lem was to get enough food to keep
body and soul together.
Right now the problem is to avoid
enough of it to keep the body thin,
regardless of what happens to the
soul.

Conscience Is Education

CONSCIENCE is largely a mat
~ ter Of education, the idea that
people are born with it is only sound
up to certain point.
We are born with conscience to
the same extent that we are born
with a natural talent for mathe-
mates, music, or anything else.
The fact remains, howeve-, that
an ignorant man can DO better
Job telling right from wrong than
he can painting a picture or clear

Subtle Propaganda

The report is being noised about among power
company men that brighter days are ahead for those
who want to exploit valuable water power sites in
many states
1t is being whispered that President Hoover is in
sympathy with immediate development by private in
terests and has informed the federal power COM
mission.
If such information we're true, it would come from
the White House and from the power commission.
The acts of the commission itself do not bear out the
reports The White House has been conspicuously
silent on the subject.
Private power interests would like to believe that
they can reach out and take this site or that with
little opposition. They reckon without considering
those who oppose their aims

With winds moderating slightly
Friday night, Indiana still was
snowbound in most portions today,
and bloodhound in southern sections,
while temperatures lowered between
zero and 10 degrees.
In indianapolis additional forces
were added to the maintenance de-
partment of the street commission
to clear sidewalks and streets In
business and residential districts.
Transportation in the city was
not hanpered greatly by the snow
ice and cold today, and accidents
were few, according to police.
Moves Slowly
Vehicular traffic north of Indian
apolis began to move slowly today,
while south of the city floods that
blocked several highways. were the
chief menace.
Steam and electric travel was pro-
ceeding very slowly or not at all.
Two deaths Friday and today
attributed to weather conditions
raised the total of victims Of the
cold wave in Indiana to eight.

physician, succumbed to heart at

Gripping Tale
And That's Just What 1t
Was for Eastern
Farm Broker.

CAMDEN, N. J., Dec. 21.-Wil-
~ liam Combe, 80, took perhaps
the most thrilling airplane ride in
history and thanked heaven to-
day that he had strong fingers.
For he took it clinging to the
tail of a plane and it lasted ten
long minutes, during which numb
ing cold threatened to break his
grip and let him plunge to death.
Combe, a Moorestown farm
broker, was helping a group of
farm hands hold a plane on his
sisters farm near here while Pilot
Don Darby of Marion, Pa, Chief
Pilot of the Curtiss- Wright flying
service, warmed up the craft.
AS the plane took off, Combe
did not let go quickly enough.
Squirming and kicking, he hung
on while Darby, unaware of his
passenger, headed for Central air
port here.
AS the plane circled the field,
an inspector saw Combe's plight
and tried to signal the pilot, but
the plane swept to a landing. Just
before it touched the ground,
Combe let go and fell in some
sand.
Although suffering intensely
from cold, he was not injured
seriously enough to require medi-
cal treatment.

COLD SETTLES
DOWN TOLONG
VISIT IN WEST
Little Relief Is in Sight
From Frigid Wave Now
Holding Sway.
FLOOD THREAT Renewed
High Stages Reached by
Rivers; so Deaths Laid
to Blizzard.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Winter, an
unofficial guest so far, observed the
first day of his official regime by
settling down as if for protracted
stay in the middle west.
Frigid weather was predicted for
Sunday and probably until Christ
mas, indicating the heavy blanket
of snow laid during the furious biz
card of the last few days would re-
main on the ground.
Despite the constant efforts of
armies of snow shovelerS and crews
manning snow plows and sweepers,
transportation was far from normal
over the mid-continent area today.
A force of $500 shovelerS and 500
snowploWs still was battling drift
choked roads in central Illinois.
Some Of the men had been out fifty
hours without relief. Similar condi-
tons existed in neighboring states.
Death Toll Mounts
The toll of death and suffering
mounted slowly, although the worst
apparently was over. AS belated re-
ports came in from regions cut off
from communication by the storm,
it was estimated approximately
fifty lives had been claimed as a
result Of the cold, blizzard and snow
packed highways and streets.
Flood hazards threatened in many
places as the heaviest snowfall since
January, 1918, began to find its way
into streams and rivers. The Wa
bash stood at sixteen feet after a
rise of one foot at Mt. Carmel, Ill.
Water was spreading over the low
lands, but the low temperatures
turned it into ice. Ice blockades
halted ferry service over the Ohio
river at Shawnee Town.
Sled Bears Coffin
A Big Four freight train pulled
through to rescue 100 motor tour
lists stranded at Pana, Ill, and at
Danville a bobsIed was utilized to
bear a coffin to cemetery after the
funeral cortege was stalled.
The most serious aftermath OF the
storm in the Chicago area was the
closing of the East Chicago Qnd)
waterworks by needle ice in the in
take. High waves in Lake Michigan
prevented repair.
Street cars and BUSES moved on
schedule in Chicago today, but sub
urban trains were delayed slightly.
More snow was promised for
Michigan, but other central states
had only the forlorn prospect OF
near zero temperatures.
Far southern areas were getting a
taste of northern winter.
The heaviest December snow in
fifty years lay over western Texas
and southern New Mexico. Ell Paso-
ans waded through So inches, which
had fallen for five hours.
