RACE DISLIkES
DECLINING

That prejudice between and among
races is on the decline, due to the
medical mems discovery that the ills
of one may injure all. and the scien-
lists findings that we are dependent

reached by Prof George A. Morse,
of George Washington University
speaking before the Howard Forum
last night.
DR.. Morse believes that closer con-
tact due to cities and the auto. make
us tolerant, but that churches that
paint pictures to raise funds for
missionary work, travellers who
write queer tales, and the movies
keep race prejudice alive.
Among the factors which made
for prejudice against non-white peo-
pie by whites. and the reverse, the

GRUNDY Tells
Of YEARS IN
LOBBY

A veteran Of many tariff
wars, Joseph r. Grundy, Penn
sylvania political leader and
" granddaddy" of all lobbyists,
today took the witness stand
at the Senate's lobby inquiry
to tell of his long career in
influencing congressional legis-
lation.
In 1925. Grundy got a taste Of the
senatorial spotlight. During the
senate's inquiry into the Pennsyl-
vania senatorial primary Of 1926
when Ware defeated Penrose and
Pepper Grundy testified he col.
lected $300.0 for the Pepper-Fisher
campaign fund. He said he advanced
this fund, confident 1t would be re-
paid to him by the manufacturers
OF Pennsylvania.
Told OF Activities
On that appearance. Grundy told
Ct his long activity for tariff legis-
Jation.
pose, ever since the Dingiey tariff
since there has been a tariff bill,
I've been coming here-no for
Pennsylva MIA but for Industries all
over the country"
Grundv explained that Pennsyl.
vania's industries were SO diversi-
fled, they represented all American
industrial activity. He also credited
his states great industriel pros.
perity to the Republican protective
tariff. thus explaining his great
personal interest in such legislation.
The Pennsylvania also testified
that he was devout follower OF
Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary OF the
Treasury. He said Pennsylvania s
business interests look on Mellon
as the first citizen OF the business
world giving Mellon greater
industrial eminence than John ID,
Rockefeller, jr., Henry Ford, Charles
NJ. Schwab or any OF the DuPonts
Grundy undoubtedly will be asked
why he felt 1t necessary to have
representation In Washington al
these years.
Lobbies Necessary
Herbert G. Lakin, president Of th'
Cuba Company. has declared
''lobbies'' are necessary. He testi
fled yesterday that American bust
ness men felt they could not oh,
tain fair treatment nor justice
from Congress unless represented by
''l0bb.es." He said he was sorry to
admit it but that 1t had become
necessary 10 maintain a lobby in
the national capital.
Grundy could tell why this Is the
fact. The committee certainly will
ask him, since he is credited with
lobbying longer and with more
success than any other man in the
country.

About % per cent Of those
who called at the last sessions
Of The Washington Times Free
Clinic with the desire Of re-
ducing their avoirdupois have
been informed by the medical
staff that they are in fact
underweight and in need of
upbuilding diets.
This interesting situation again
emphasizes the Importance Of ex-
pert medical advice preliminary to
dieting Of any kind and is an indi-
cation Of the valuable service R
health improvement being rendered
by The Times clinic.
The next Times clinic will be held
about the middle of November.
Individual Treatment
Each clinic visitor Is prescribed
for individually by the medical
staff, which is composed of Wash.
ington's leading dietetic specialists.
Some are advised to omit candy.
Others are told to eat nothing be-
tween meals. Still others, reporting
physical ailments. are advised to
consult their family physician at
once.
One woman who was "a pounds
overweight inquired how she might
reduce from her hips down without
taking any flesh off her face or
shoulders The staff prescribed a
program of strenuous gymnastics
designed to wear off the flesh at
the desired points

Prescribed Diets Vary
In prescribing diets for individ.

quently has to recommend variations
of The Times revised 1S-day Holly
wood diet. Some are advised to fol-
low the revised Hollywood diet only
10 days out of each month: then
to shift to another diet for the re-
mainder of the month.
In prescribing these diets it is
necessary to state the average num-
ber of calories in food fuel that
each person should get a day. To
assist Times dieters in estimating
the caloric value of the food they
eat scientific table of values is
printed below.
Where foods not mentioned on
this list are eaten, caloric value
of a similar type of food should
be used.
A method of figuring calories is
to write down in one column at the
end of each day each article of food
eaten during the day. In another
column write down the caloric val.
ues as obtained from the following
table. Then add to get the days
total.
This should be done three or four
days week and the average num-
Der of calories estimated. This will
give a fairly accurate idea of the
food value intake per day. The
diet can be adjusted accordingly tn
increase or decrease the caloric total
