STOCKHOLM, Sweden Those who
try to cut their contours by playing
golf, walking to work or by engaging in
any other form of exercise might just
as well save themselves the trouble.
Sitting in a nice easy chair with good
book Is almost as effective in elininat-
ing avoirdupois.
This Is the disconcerting information
presented by DR.. Arthur H. Steinhaus.
professor of physiology in the Y M. c.
A. College. Chicago, who is now travel
ing In Europe on fellowship of the
Guggenheim Foundation.
Before a recent meeting of the Stock
holm American Club DR.. Steinhaus
made known some remarkable data COL
1ected during the course Of his re-
searches in the physiology Of work
and exercise
How to Lose a Pound.
"In order to wear off single pound
OF fat by exercise" DR.. Steinhaus ex-
planned. "the average sized individual
must either fence hours or wrestle
5l2 hours; walk IA miles at the
rate of miles per hour or play foot
ball hard for AZ hours; push UP from
the door STA times or climb to the
too of Washington Monument 48 times
shovel 81 tons of sand into a Wheel
barrow or play ping pong 17l4 hours.
"you may also cut your weight a
pound by running 129 hundred-yard
dashes in 10 fiat. run mile 1875 times
at rate of l mile in minutes, or saw
wood l0l2 hours
Even though one does manage to
tear of some weight by strenuous exer-
else, he is very likely to put it on again
Immediately afterward by taking a few
incautious mouthfuls of food. One
piece of bread and butter will replace
all of the fat lost by walking miles.
IF you must reduce you had better
do 1t by replacing the concentrated
foods In your diet with bulky non-fat-
tening foods such as vegetables and
lean meats.
You will do better not to place your
hopes for weight reduction in the use
OF either massage or an electric vibra-
tor. 1t takes 375 sessions of Is min
utes each with vibrator to take of q
pound of fat. Massage does not break
down fat at all.
If you can't take keen pleasure in
exercise you will miss its great values
Exercise may increase the endurance Of
certain muscles from 500 to 800 per
cent, and it may increase the size of
your muscles by so per cent unless you
are one Of those naturally thin persons.
in which case no system of exercise can
make you into knot Of muscles.
But even though exercise may make
you ST. onger. there Is no evidence
.kno-n to science that 1t will make you
healthier or make a better man out
of you The antibodies which fight dis
ease in the human system are not in
creased in number by any amount of
exercise. If you wish to be tall, you
will do better not to exercise, because
experiments indicate that unexercised
bones grow longer than those which are
exercised.
Sports May Be Harmful.
while there is not much to be said
for exercise as a builder of health or
q weight-reduction method there is
reason to believe that sports such as
boxing and foot ball. which are COM
monty thought to improve the body by
toughening it, may actually do harm
when carried to excess by causing the
deterioration Of the cartilage In the
joints

BRITAIN IS MAKING
NEW TRADE PACTS
Nearly a Score Of Nations
Ask Conference on Com

ny the Associated Press
LONDON, November 15.-Great Brit
aims commercial relations with other
countries will be getting thorough
oyerhauling in the next few months.
Nearly a score of nations have ap-
preached England regarding trade rela-
tons Diplomatic conversations or con-
ferences have been scheduled with
nearly al of them The others probably
will be taken care of as fast as the
Board of Trade experts are free TO give
the problems their attention.
Much of this activity grows out OF
the Ottawa agreements with the Do
fninions. The rest is the product OF the
tariff policy which now has been in ef-
feet almost a year.
Anglo Argentine Trade.
OF major importance are Anglo-Ar-
qentine trade relations. Diplomatic con-
Versations have been going on between
the two nations for some weeks, and
probably will reach a definite result
after the first. of the year, following
the arrival Of DR. Rocca, the Argentine
Vice President, who is reported to be
bringing q corps Of economic experts
with him.
His visit ostensibly is to return the
visit Of the Prince Of Wales.
Meantime. negotiations between the
Argentine Ambassador here and the
Board of Trade officials are continuing.
It is possible. but not considered likely,
that the trade treaty between the two
countries may be revised.
A Swedish trade delegation is now
In London in an attempt to put Anglo
Swedish trade contacts on new basis,
and London conferences with the other
Scandinavian countries are TO be held
in the very near future.
Conferences are also expected with
the various Baltic states, although no
giilm likewise are on the future
schedule.
Conference in Berlin.
Anelo-German trade will be the sub
feet Of a conference IN Berlin within
the next SIX weeks, and here new
trade treaty iS not at all unlikely.
This treaty goes back to 1926 when
trade between the two countries was
put on a virtual free basis except for
certain specific articles. They agreed,
among other things, not to impose any
restriction especially injurious to the
others trade.
Among specific taxed articles Ger
many included coal, which Britain
claimed was specific injury, carrying
q higher rate than that placed on
coal from other nations.
Germany asserted that the English
tariffs were specifically injurious to
them. The English position was that
they weren't specific, but directed uni
fornly against imports from all coun-
tries.
Various arbitration suggestions were
discussed. the upshot being the decision
to continue diplomatic conversations
through this delegation.

The new thing-the smart thing
is hard to do in a production
company. Regular patrons grow
more or less accustomed to seeing
their favorites in conventional roles,
and to take them out of the conven-
tional roles and situations is to risk
displeasing the audience.
But Charles Berkell, while never
a reckless experimenter, believes in
keeping up to date with his produc-
tions. So when the time came
around, as it has way of doing, to
select a mystery play of the same
caliber as the other plays of his
season, Berkell hit on 1.-THE Ninth
Guest" a mystery play which hap
pens to jibe with matters of intelli-
gence as we'll as entertainment.
1t opened the season year ago
in New York, while summer weather
was still at hand. It's engagement,
for that sort of thing, was remark
ably successful, and it struck New
York, and later Chicago, critics, as
being quite the most intelligent play

Tops Cast
at Civic
The Sacred Flame Opens
Tonight for a Run of
Seven NIGHTS.

1.-THE Sacred Flame" is to open at
the Civic theater tonight with
Judith Lowry heading an exception
ally strong cast.
1t is Mrs. Lowry's second appear
ance this season at the Playhouse,
her earlier showing having been in
the opening bill LET Us Be Gay"
w. Somerset Vaughan, author of
1.-THE Sacred Flame" departs from
the melodramatic manner of EAST
of Suez, and THE Letter. and
accomplishes the unusual in pre-
senting a mystery without any of
the customary trappings of this
sort of play.
The story centers around the
death of a hopelessly crippled Brit
ish aviator whose nurse insists that
his apparently suicidal demise was,
in fact, murder.
Hale MacKeen, director at the
Playhouse, is to play the role of the
aviator while Ruth Hayes, who was
his leading woman in Nashville,
Tenn, is to play the part of his
wife.
Mary Allen, whose last role at
the Playhouse was that of the
mining camp woman in Spread
Eagle" will have another intensely
dramatic role as the nurse.
Sherwood Blue, who was in sew
eral plays last season, is to be the
doctor; David Milligan, also veil
known local player; David Clarke,
guest juvenile, and katherine Nor
riS complete the cast.
With Judith Lowry, Ruth Hayes
and David Clarke, the Civic the
alter has for the first time in its
history three visiting players in
single performance.
THE Sacred Flame" will be pre-
sented for seven nights only. be-
ginning tonight and continuing
each night except Sunday through
