WHAT DID MADGE DO

 JUST THIS:

A IL over the country, men ~ and women are wondering at the slender figures of today. Excess fat IS rare now, compared with years ago.
 These people do not starve themselves of clements they need. They employ a modern, scientific method to combat the cause of fat. The cause usually lies in an under-active gland, which largely controls nutrition. Modern physicians, in treat ing obesity, do not advise starva- tion. They feed the gland sub stance which is lacking. Thus the whole world has changed, in late years, as regards the over-fat.
 A famous medical laboratory embodied the method in Mar mola prescription tablets. Peo- pie have used them for P years millions of boxes of them. They have told others about them and shown the results, in new youth and beauty, new health and vitality. Today the useofMarmolaisunprecedented.

Great LakS-St. Lawrence Men,

Detroit, March 24. Pt-Visions of the day when Detroit, Chicago and the whole Middle West will be able to keep a finger on the pulse ot world commerce, were conJured up as the annual council of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater asso- station convened Saturday.
 Delegates to the council, drawn from 23 interested states, were on hand. The list of conferees included governors. senators, heads of state commissions, engineers and others.
 The attention of the council cen- tered on the problem of circum- venting certain rapids in the St. Lawrence river which now separate treal. It is this latter port which the members of the association hope to make the mid Invests vestibule on the Atlantic.
 The solution of this problem, lead- CTS of the council say is a ship the port Of Montreal after vessels have passed through the newly com pleted Welland canal developments.
 As the delegates gathered a note or optimism was sounded by Charles T. Craig, of Washington, executive director of the association. He said: We have every reason to believe that definite steps toward the draw ing of the treaty providing for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway will be taken in the very near future"
 The principal speaker on the pro- gram is Senator Henry J. Allen, of Kansas. president of the association.

crease, and the slaughter growing yearly. Certain areas of the seas, where whales formerly were abun- dant, are now depleted, Dr. Kellogg said
 The whale, 1t was pointed out, no longer has sporting chance in the unequal battle with man. When 1t was hunted in open boats with hand harpoons, all species had some op- portunity of escape.
 Against present day methods, fea- turing the explosive, cannon-shot harpoon, swift steam vessels, and 'spotting" airplanes, Dr. Kellogg said even the speediest one is prac- tically helpless.

DELEGATES STUDY
 WHALE SITUATION
Complete determination Feared
 Unless Action Is Taken

Washington, March 24 R) - Be- cause Of the possibility of complete extermination of whales through their increasing slaughter, whale conservation has become a subject for concerted effort.
 Dr. Remington Kellogg. Smith, sonian mammalogist and research associate of the Carnegie institution of Washington, announced today that he will leave New York Mon- day for Berlin to attend an interna- tional conference on whale conserv- ation to begin April 3. The meet ing, called by Sir Sydney Chapman. chairman of the economic commit tee of the League of Nations, will assemble whale experts from prac- tically every country of the world. The whale will be considered bio- logically with emphasis upon it's mil gratory. feeding and breeding habits pr. Kellogg said.
 To Seek Legislation
 It is expected that the findings of this gathering will be embodied in recommendations seeking uniform legislation among nations to keep the killing of whales below the dan ger. line. The goal is both to con- serve the whale and at the same dme to preserve an essential indus try.
 Dr. Kellogg, the lone delegate from the United States. explained that each expert will attend the meeting in personal capacity rather than as government repre- sentative.
 About 30,00oO whales were killed last year, Dr. Kellogg estimated, an amount probably twice as great as the kill any year during the period of the last century, when the Amer ican whaling industry was at it's crest. He placed the number killed at 500,0000 since 1900 to supply the world with whale oil, whalebone, and soaps, face creams, and kin dred products in which the oil prominently figures.
 Reaches Lowest Point
 Many authorities believe that the number of whales has reached its lowest point. with the annual kill already in excess of the natural in-

JUNE SUNDAYS TOP ACCIDENT REPORTS
More MishapS on ImrpoYed Highways Than on Bad Roads

More automobile accidents occur the year, more occur on Sunday than any other day of the week, and more occur in the hours from 4 to D. m. than in any other period of the day, according to statistics con- piled by the state motor vihicle de- partment.
 Accident records also show that more persons are injured because of accidents on good road surfaces than at all places where road COIL ditions are poor, more are injured at intersections than at all other places on the highways; more arc hurt in daylight than in the hours of dusk and darkness; and more are injured because of automobiles col liding with other objects than are hurt when automobiles collide with other automobiles.
 June Leads in Accidents
 The accidents in June last year, numbering 2,4S9, exceeded those in May, which was the second high month of the year, by 137. October followed May as the next most dan gerous period, with 2,276 accidents, and in turn was followed by Decem-t Der, with 2,209, and July, with D. 203. The smallest number occurred in February when there were 1851. March was the next month, with l,761, and January was third, with 1913. There was an average of q few more than o,00o accidents month for April, August, September and November,
 A list of accidents by days shows that there were 4,505 on the Sun days of the year. The nearest ap- proach to this is the total for Sat urdays which was 4,295. Totals for other days were: Thursdays, 3,S5S; Wednesdays, 3,315; Mondays, 3,254; Fridays, 3,22S: Tuesdays, 3,223. To- tals do not vary much for the days Monday to Friday, inclusive. There is a difference, however, of 1,2Sl between the number of accidents which occurred on Tuesday, the low est figure, and those on Sundays, when the highest figure is reached. The accidents on Saturdays also eX- ceed those of other days, except Sundays, by more than 1000.

Fed Corn to

Bakersfield, Cal, March A P- Every day a huge flood of wild pigeons swarms over the big Di Giorgio fruit ranch here, lfeastinS on the product of the orchards and vineyards, and breaking off tender vegetation shoots.
 Despite the great losses incurred, the owners of the ranch cannot kill the birds, which are protected by law. Ross Peacock, an airplane pilot, was hired to fly his ship low over the area, in an attempt to frighten the pigeons. The effort was in vain.
 Now a new preventive scheme is to be tried on the recommenda- ton of 0. P. BroWntow, of the state fish and game commission. Each night corn is to be scattered under the pigeons roosting place.

Trans Oceanic Flight Scheduled
 By Numerous Planes and Bimps
 In Seeking New Aircraft Records
Two Dirigibles Will At tempt to Cross Atlantic Sponsored by German and English Aviation h. terests.

New York, March Il R - The gulls which wheel in lazy flight over the north Atlantic airlines again will have visitors this spring and sum- mer, as they have had each year since 1927, if ambitious plans an- nounced by fliers of many countries are carried through.
 Four west to east crossing have been announced and three from cast to west. The R-100, giant British dirigiblc, probably will make a London Montreal flight this summer and round trip cruise to Lake hurst, via some South American port is planned for the Graf Zcppe- in.
 Heading the east-to-west contin- gent. ambitious to win through where only the Junkers Bremen has been successful, is Dieudonnc Cos tes, holder of the worlds distance record and conqueror with LebriX of the south Atlantic.
 To Reverse Lindbcrsh
 Capt Carretier is another who hopes this summer to make the crossings to New York from Paris. And Jean Assolant and his two com- paniops, who have already flown from Old Orchard Beach to Spain, plan to retrace their flight taking Off from Seville.
 Planning flights from west to east are John Henry Mears, holder of the round-the-w world record of 23 days with the late C. B. Collyer, Herbert Fahy, test pilot of the Lockheed Airplane company. Col. Gustavo Leon, Mexican army ace, and Clifford McMillan, American commercial pilot.
 None of the flights this year will be solo, so far as now planned. Fahy plans to take his wife, Mears q pilot, Col. Leon a navigator, and McMillan probably both a navigator and a radio operator.
 Among other long distnce flights planned for this year are a nonstop refueling flight from New Haven, Conn, to Buenos Aires, a short stage flight from Berlin to New York, via Moscow, the Aleutian Islands and Seattle, a Pacific coast Tokio flight, q New York Bermuda hop to test the Armstrong sea- drone and three or more planned air journeys across the South At lantic, where conditions arc ideal much of the time, and where many already have succeeded, with few failures.
