with an unfortunate accident. The colored boys, as
usual did not have very fancy equipment, but they
had sort of Pop Warner trick play for which the
Rome nome-guards had not thought to prepare a de-

their own goal and seemed to be only the conven-
tonal push-over when suddenly they ambused the
Italian army and won the The Italians yelled

Al Smith, as a presidential pos

But the politicos do view it as
significant that he is being talked
of as a contender.
The Liberty League is reported
to have secret plan by which
anti-New Deal elements, both
Democratic and Republican. would
unite to put a ticket in the field
next year.
The rulers of the League are

Since that time more than one
year has elapsed. The hearings in
the case are on file. Month after

But for the present, at least,

MEANWHILE, within the gov
WI eminent itself there is
growing up a group who call them
selves new revolutionaries" in
contrast to the Gales chieftains.
Leaders of this group are such
men as atheiStic. non-drinklng,

Canabal, secretary Of agriculture.
and Ignacio Garcia Teller, secre-
tary of education.
They have many followers
among the younger officials Of
the government and especially in

That they have at least the SYM

At any rate, these men stand
out as leaders of a growingly i'm

Partly due to their influence, as

airy program.
But the fire seems to have gone
out: the rebellion against Gales
to have ended.
There is no doubt as to Car
denas' sincerity, his desire to aid
the people. but there is consid-
cradle question as to his ability to
do so.
Now the people are singing a
parody of a popular tune which
warns "Lazarito" that he will
soon be shown the door by Gales"
~ALLES, judging by the con-
~ slant stream of generals and
politicians pouring to his lsolat-
ed home in Sinaola, is still Chief
of the Revolution" and director
both on and off stage.
The National Revolutionary
Party. a political institute formed
by Gales, does the actual work OF
running the governmental ma
chine, but Gales pulls the levers.
The popular saying is that
GALES will rule the country until
10 minutes after his death" But
persons who have tested the
present political temper of Mexico
believe that any determined lead
er who arises with the slogan
Down with Gales" will find a
majority of the country united be-
hind him and against this latest
in a long series of dictators who
have controlled Mexico.
The Gales group is not UMPIRE
pared for such eventuality. In
Abelardo Rodriguez they have the
man who could step in at any
time. Hard-boiled and direct in
his methods, trained in business in
the United States, Rodriguez is
the most popular of the group of
wealthy generals and politicians
headed by Gales.
TIE has frequently reiterated
i l. the statement that he does
not want anything more to do
with politics after his two years
as president, but regardless of his
desires the politicians and gen.
erals are not inclined to let him
alone.
He stands the best chance of
anv one man, in the opinion of
political observers, to take over
control OF the country.
There are two other generals
who are popularity credited with
being powerful enough to over
throw the Gales group if they
determined to do so. These are
Juan Andreau AlmaZan, military
commander of Nuevo Leon, and
Saturnino Cedillo, boss of the
state of San Luis PotoSi and &C
knowledged leader of the organ

to the very gates of Rome and. on

barefoot army which fights with

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

GONE of my readers have written, pointing out
~ that have been discussing proper diets and suit
able control for persons who overweight but that
have said very little to aid those who are UNDER
weight Well here's the advice they are seeking.
If you are underweight, you should know that
this involves consideration not only Of the food that
you eat, but also your daily habits. Failure to gain
weight may be due to OveractiVity or to excessive
smoking, to nervous exhaustion or lack of sleep.
If you take in enough food with a sufficient
amount Of Galleries, and if this food is properly used
in your body. you should surely gain weight
COMETIMES the tissues of the body burn I'D the
- material too rapidly. In such event you should
have basal metabolism test to determine the rate
of your body chemistry, and the test turns out to
be high plus-that is to say II to Is or over-your
physician will advise the necessary measures for
storing volr body chemistry to a suitable rate.
s. meClmes it is impossible to get persons who are
underWcight to take suitable amounts of rest and
relaxation without putting them in hospital
sanitarum where they are completely under control.
There are of course. certain foods which are more
useful in adding weight than others, because they
provide large amounts of so-called food value with
out great amount of bulk. Milk cream butter,
bacon, breads and vegetables some foods which
provide large numbers of Galleries. and peas lima
beans, rice, macaron and spaghetti are considered
to be exceedingly useful in diets for gaining weight.
THE diets may also be enriched by such sub
Il stances as matted mlks, dried milks and olive
oil.
You may have TO eat something not only at the
usual hours for the three meals daily, but also at
periods between meals as at 1920 in the morning
o'clock IN the afternoon, and again just before go
ing TO bed
Above all you should see that your appetite is
sustained and that you do avoid food of
lack of appetite.
While overactivity should be avoided a certain
amount OF exercise in the open air is desirable
means Of increasing the appetite The pilder types
Of exercise, such walking and golfng, are
preferable.
Another factor that may be useful in Building up
weight because Of improvement Of appetite is a
temporary visit to vacation resort where you will
be away from business and domestic worries and
where the whole atmosphere is conducive to health

If the Italians were to send expedition to
France to defend Rome, the wear and tear the
defenders would be severe that after a while
there might not be many Italians left to what
happened to Rome. More than likely, the French
army would not agree to hold still until the weather
was more agreeable to the defenders as the King
of Kings has done The French are very unSports-
