PRESS CRITICIZED
AS SENTIMENTAL
Sir WiIImott Lewis Tells
Student Editors Much
News Is 0VerWritten.

Newspapers have become "sentimen-
talized" to a point where overwriting
is a common fault, Sir Willmott Lewis,
Washington correspondent of the Lon
don Times, told group of District,
Maryland and Virginia high school
editors at a banquet last night that
brought to close the two-day con-
vention of the George Washington
University Scholastic Press Associa-
tion.
Development of feature writing has
resulted in change of news report
ing and subsequently has given press
accounts of trials, demonstrations and
other events more space than they
really merit, the speaker declared.
Newspapers formerly were printed
principally for the consumption OF
adults, Sir Willmott said, but today
when persons of all ages are con-
sidered potential readers, newspapers
must be careful that 1.-The food they
provide must not be too strong for
the digestion of the young"
Sentimental Writing Hit.
The British journalist warned the
young editors to remember that senti-
mentality, which he described as
emotion for its own sake and not
for the sake Of an object" is some
thing that should be avoided when
they enter newspaper work.
Sir Willmott concluded with the re-
minder that the world depends in a
large measure on newspapers, adding
that without them countries would be
thrown into confusion. The press,
however, he said, depends in turn on
the individuals connected with it, their
honesty and integrity in handling
news.
Other speakers at the banquet, at
which Prof. Willard Hayes Yeager Of
George Washington University ia
Guilty presided as toastmaster, were
Ray Tucker of the Mcclure Syndicate,
and Howard Parrish, business man
ager of the Daily News.
Tucker gave the delegates some
behind the scene" pictures of news
reporting in the Capital and pointed
out the difficulty of the press in keep
ing up with prominent figures and
their movements. Parrish empha-
sized the importance of the co-orera-
ton between the editorial and busi-
ness departments of a newspaper.
Central Paper Wins Cup.
The Central Bulletin was awarded
a cup as the best Washington high
school paper in a contest sponsored

E. c. Glass High School, Lynchburg,
Va, was selected as the best school

writing, Richard Murphy, Central;
features, Sydney Rosendorf, Roose-
welt; editorial, Betty st. Clair, Nc
Kinley; sports, Robert Speaker, Gen.
tral, and column, Jean Gorbach,

new FARM AID PLAN
Magazine Will Present Proposed
A. A. A. Substitute to Parties.

A. A. A. Substitute to Parties.
A new farm aid plan. based on a
study made by the editors Of the
Country Home Magazine, will be Of
fered this week to the two major po-
litical parties. The new plan will be
suggested as replacement for the
present agricultural adjustment act.
Briefly, the plan is to pay farmers
for producing farm products which are
now imported by the country instead
of paying them not to produce certain
commodities. Other planks are to
pay farmers to grow soil-building
crops to prevent soil erosion and for
growing non-food crops for industrial
uses.
The plan is submitted to the more
than 100000 readers of the magazine
with request that the farmers of the
coIltry express their preferences.

They claim the reference to Class D

Minded VS.. Liberal

The church people in a community are often criti-
cized for being 'narruwminded" That, In itself, Is not
as bad an epithet as some believe. 1t is all right to be
'-'narrowminded' if your narrowness means the elind-
nation of the unimportant and the concentration Of
your entire facilities on the important
Religion, however, cannot be expressed solely in
lipservice, but must be lived, and, for this reason, any
worthwhile religion must be livable. For that reason
the world has long since abandoned the conception OF
a religious man or woman as one who goes through
life with a long face and spreads gloom and restric-
tons whereve' possible.
Christianity, as expressed by the Great Teacher,
did not include set rules so much as a rule OF individ-
ual conduct This being the truth many have taken al
vantage of it and have tried to make any restriction
of license un-Christian. This Is just as foolish as In
tolerance or bigotry. 1t is, perhaps more common in
our Land today, and, more dangerous, because 1t works
under the mistaken assumption OF lberality and toll
GRANGE.
No community can afford to let the so-called lib
eral' element run wild. II it did the decent people
would soon have to hold their noses or evacuate their
homes. You will always find a minority Of any group
ready and willing to throw away all pretense OF right
eousness. They will raise a stencil that will make liv-
Ing intolerable for many OF better minds and morals.

A SURE REDUCING DIET

Numerous inquiries come TO the
writer asking for a safe reducing
diet So many diets have been tried
and found deficient in minerals and
vtamlns, that l have decided to tell
you about the banana and SKINNED
milk diet after an article setting
forth the facts were published In the
Journal OF the American Medical
Association OF June Is, 1884.
Fat people love to eat. They are
not fond of seldenial. II, however,
they are In earnest about getting rid
Of the unwanted pounds here Is not
only a sure way to reduce, but a way
that Is safe.
II you obtain the desired results,
you cannot be a shirker. Twelve
les are enough for the average indi-
vidual. 1t Is imperative that this food
should contain sufficient proteins,
minerals and vitamins to maintain
health.
Banana and SKINNED milk has
been found to answer the purpose. A
banana of average size contains
about 100 calories and a glass of
81 immed milk about IS calories.
Since only butterfat has been re-
moved, SKINNED milk retains the
proteins, minerals, and most OF the
vitamin content Of whole milk lex
cept vitamin AZ with only about
half the calorie value. The banana
itself supplies considerable vitamin
A. Butter-milk may he substituted
for SKINNED milk.
For two weeks the diet should
consist OF four to six bananas a day,
and three to four glasEas OF SKINNED
milk. A head of lettuce can be taken
daily, or 2 cups Of shredded cabbage.
Boiled spinach or green's without
salt or butter may be eaten. The six
bananas contain from 400 to 600 cal
cries, the SKINNED milk from 255 to
$40 calories, while the green's a.
mount to around IS.
Bran Is not only a fair addition to
the diet, but 1t provides the necessa-
ry bulk for the intestines. Only fully
ripe bananas should be eaten, viz.
those with yellow skins spotted with
brown Mineral oil, mayonnaise or
French dressing made with mineral
oil, renders the salads and green's
more palatable; and 1t promotes free
elimination, as THE mineral oil Is
not absorbed, hence does not In
crease the weight
Tea and coffee without cream or
sugar is permissible. Six glasses of
water help to carry off the wastes
and add to the well being of the indi-
vidual.
A period OF two weeks is long en-
ougb to continue the diet. Then for
the next ten days a well balanced
diet should he eaten, though the cal
cries should be kept down to 1900.
1t Is very important to leave off salt,
because 1t retains water In the body
and adds to the weight.

Talk OF a third party continues
Wsth many believing that Senator
Long, OF Louisiana, will test mis-
strength against President Roosevelt
early next year In the primaries Of
several statea A showing Of strength
IL Is expected will line up other radi-
Gals behind him to form the necleus
OF an independent organization. The
story Is that Georgia, where Cover
nor Tafmadge is classed as hostile to
the PRESIDENT, will be the first battle
ground, and that the Louisiana sena
tor will make a fight in North Dako-
ia and Nebraska, and may also enter
the lists in Mississippi. Alabama and
Arkansas.
Democratic leaders have different
opinions as to the result although
most OF them do not believe that
Senator Long can win in any State
except his own. Some privately hope
Tor improved economic conditions be-
fore the electors go TO the polls but
Others insist that a third party move

Coolidge by giving him the united
conservative support.

Republican leaders reason that the
Administration is liberal enough to
please Progressives, and that u a
third party movement takes the radi-
cal element, Republicans will be able
to hold their normal vote OF 10000
600 in 1892 and regain the conserva-
tives who left the party. Meanwhile,
interest Is being taken in the meet
ing next month at DeS Moines, where
Milo Reno, leader of the Farmers
Strike, expects Senator Long, Cover
nor Olson, Of Minnesota. and the
Rev. Coughlin to act as leaders OF a
radical agrarian group.
Beginning two years ago the CCC
reached a peak Of $4,000 men, not
quite up to the authorized limit of
1852, 900, and nowhere near the 600.-
600 that will probably be permitted
under plans. Most OF lie men,
according to Robert Fechner, direc-
tor, allotted SIS of the $50 received
each month to dependents. AS men
complete their time others take their
so that more than a million
have had employment OF this
kind.
