WORKERS DISCOVER
QUICK METHOD TO
OVERCOME FATIGUE
They Take a Moment to Eat
or Drink Something Sweet

Statesmen who cover miles each
day, and business folks who go at
top speed at their desks and coun-
ters, know that midafternoon is the
zero hour as far as energy is con-
cerned-
Since rest and relaxation are out
of the question at this busy time of
the day, countless workers have
found to their delight that piece
of candy, cookie, ice cream or a
sweetened drink - even sugar dis
solved in water-restores vigor al
most Immediately.
The reason for this is that the
sugar content of these "snacks"
supplies the system with quick
nourishment without taxing the
digestive system. When the body
is thus nourished, fatigue is mate
rally lessened.
Recent tests among workers have
proved the value of this practice of
eating something sweet in midafter-
noon. A we'll known physician in
Philadelphia often advises business
men to drop in at soda fountain
at O'Clock and drink favored
milk shade. Nervous exhaustion is
overcome and the evening meal is
eaten later with calm enjoyment.
The demand of the system for
refined sugar should not be denied.
Most foods are more delicious and
nourishing with refined sugar. The

STATE SEEKS BOB
FOR QUESTIONING
Washburn Desires Informal
ton Regarding Metal and
Mining Shares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 16.-Assistant
Attorney General Washburn announced
yesterday that Charles v. Bob, missing
banker, capitalist and engineer, faces
possible arrest unless he returns to New
York State within the next two days.
The State wants to question him con-
corning Metal 81 Mining Shares, Inc,
and Rainbow Luminous Products Co.
Washburn said examination of two
officials of the Metal g. Mining Shares,
of which Bob was chairman of the
board, had disclosed that a list of
stocks filed with his Office by the Cor
poration, showing securities on hand to
the value of more than $4,000, 900 as of
December 81, 1929, had been falsified.
The men questioned, George l.. john
son, president of the firm. and Louis
p. Jubien, treasurer, told Washburn, he
said, they had signed the report to the
Bureau of Securities without knowledge
Of its contents. Washburn said filing of
false information with his Office was
miSdemeanor punishable by two years
in jail.
Meanwhile, the State prosecutor was
attempting to trace a telephone call to
an official of Metal g. Mining shares
by man who said he was Frederick
Russell. Bob's secretary. Russell van
ished with the banker.
Bob has been well known figure in
New York during the past few years He
was known as an angel of aviation"
friend of prominent financiers, a
patron of church and science. Com
paratively little is publicly known of his
early career.
Rumor has 1t that he was once an
engineer in Guatemala and continued
his work in the gold fields of Nevada.
At one time he attracted public no.
tice by his habit of flying to the golf
links to save time. Perhaps his first
contact with large headlines was a
project to build series of floating
island airports across the Atlantic.

j. S. TREATY STAND
PUZZLE TO EUROPE
Hoover Statements Held as
Desiring and Rejecting
Consultative Pact.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

By Radio to The Star.
PARIS, France, December I3.-The
greatest confusion and doubt now
reigns in European diplomatic circles
as to what is, or is not, the American
policy regarding consultative pact to
implement" in the phrase of Secre-
tary of State Henry l.. stin1son, the
Kellogg pact.
President Hoover's Armistice day
speech was everywhere interpreted as
meaning that the United States was
not only now willing to discuss such
pact, but that it wished that some
one would propose It, This interpre-
tation was developed at great length
by Norman Angel in the British week.
ly, Foreign Affairs" and the German
foreign office seemingly interpreted
similarly, for it is reported to have
requested Immediately that it be in
cluded in any negotiations which might
occur on the subject.
Shortly afterward Ambassador Hugh
S. Gibson, American delegate to the
Preparatory Disarmament Commission
of the League of Nations at Geneva,
seems to have agreed to the Draft Dis
armament Convention, under which
control of disarmament would be in
trusted to a League commission, with
which the United States would regu-
larly consult. And in his closing re-
marks at Geneva few days ago Mr..
Gibson said:
"I throughout have been sensible Of
the very real dificulties under which
many members of this commission have
labored. Overshadowing our converse
tions, though seldom mentioned, have
been the anxiety and worry that have
arisen from the special preoccupation
felt by numerous governments regard
ing their national security"
Ponder Speech's Meaning.
This was supposed to be the first time
and sympathetically of the security
thesis which is widely assumed to be
related to the idea of consultative pact
promulgated by the United States.
Yet Immediately afterward, Washing
ton dispatches to the European press at
tribute to the highest authority nat
denial that we are now willing to dis
cuss consultative or any other form
Of pact with any one whatsoever.
What then, European chancellerleS
are asking, was the meaning of the ar
mistice day speech? Does or does not
the United States want some one to
propose a consultative pact? If so, what
kind? If so, Is 1t because the United
States considers such a pact good
thing in Its own and general interest?
Then why does not the United States
itself make a proposal? If 1t is not q
good thing, why did the President revive
the issue?

Conferees on the $11s,000,000 emer-
gency public works bill reduced the total
appropriations today to $116,0o0, 900 and
restored the House provision to permit
the President to use the specified sums

The conferees also eliminated the
Senate amendment requiring that local
labor be employed on all the relief

The reduction in total appropriations
was brought about by cutting down
from $5,00o,0o0 to $3,oOo,o00 the Sen

President Hoover might strike again
