NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.S0.
Edward ]. Atwell, 55-year-old for

was found shot to death today
under mysterious circumstances
in the bedroom of his home in
st. George, Staten Island.
Atwell's body was discovered by
his wife. A gaping wound in the
side of his head indicated he had
died almost instantly after the
fatal shot was fired.
However, police said the only
gun in the room was carefully
put away in a bureau drawer of
the bedroom, which is on the
second floor of the comfortable
two-story home.
An investigation was launched
to determine whether it was a
murder or suicide.

Hauptmann's counsel are more

refusal of the State prison board

of the book at this time. They
put Hauptmann to work on the
story when he entered the death

Then, when the lawyers hoped to
reap $4,000 for the defense fund

put it's foot down.
The board of managers does not
wish to have the book come out

seemed to Johnny that he simply
must give up. Then he would think
Of how that mole really belonged to
him, for 1t was he who had dug it.,
and this would set him to fighting
harder than ever. His cause was right
and the others was wrong.
At last they separated and paused
for bit Of rest, but all the time they
were growing. In the fight they had
rolled some distance from the hole.
Now neither dared make a run for it
lest he expose himself to an attack
from the rear. 1t was Johnny who re-
newed the fight. A new and greater
rage swelled within him as he thought
Of the injustice of the stranger, and
now he fell upon him tooth and nail
1t was we'll tor both that no enemy
happened that way when they were
locked together, forgetful of every
thing but each other. So they fought
until both were so tired and used up
that they had to stop oftener to rest
Each had lost some fur, but their
skins were SO tough that neither had
suffered much real damage. Their
faces were scratched and bitten some
what, but otherwise they were little
hurt. And now, painting and glaring
at each other, they were right where
they started, neither having made

Second. Eliminate unnatural
sweets and starches from the diet
This means no white -four and no
white sugar, and small quantities OF
products Of grain. No alcoholic bev-
erages.
Third. Remember that all starch
foods must be thoroughly masticated
Chew all breads, cereals, pastries

Fourth. Diminish-almost to the
vanishing point-all flesh foods con-
tanning fat and eliminate chestnuts
and peanuts from the diet.
Fifth. Drink an abundance of fresh
cool water and exercise regularly, Sc
that the body will need and use the
water. This step is very important.
Sixth. Use no appliances or drugs
for reducing. Avoid the loss of more
than 2l2 pounds per week.
Seventh. Avoid the sight of foods
restricted from the diet
The average person will say. well
what then can eat?" The answer Is
simple. Eat anything during the re-

You'll find an abundant variety OF
fresh fruits and vegetables in the
markets-enough to appease the most
ravenous appetite. 1t will be interest.
ing to note that after enforcing the
rules for a short time the habits will
not be so insistent, and soon the desire
for unnatural starch concentrates will

He was the grandson OF the Rev.

william Bladen, known to Mary
land history as the Hon. William, be-
came prominent in the affairs Of his
adopted home, serving the Maryland
Province in many public Offices. He
was appointed surveyor and deputy
collector Of the port, later secretary Of
the province and. in 1701, royal Gov
ernor. In 1902 he was commissioned
attorney general, and In 1704 took over
the office of clerk of the council.
The first residence of the Maryland
Bladens was in st. Marys County. 1t

|HERE are not two people in the
world who will react exactly
the same to any given condi-
Il ton. One diet will affect two
people in two different ways.
But there are two distinct types Of
people that we have to take into ac-
count when We are considering the
starch foods.
One Of these types will develop an
overweight condition from excessive
use of starches; the other will become
underweight and develop some form
or degree Of nervousness. Both types
will almost always experience a glan-
dular upset that not only affects the
bodily condition. but involves the tenn
permanent as well.
In a subsequent article I shall out
line the requirements for the victims
Of underweight conditions, but we
must interest ourselves at this time in
the causes of the frenzied fat folk,
who constitute the majority.
refer to this group as "frenzied fat
folk" chiefly because of the frenzied
attempts at reducing that we see on
all sides. These are only attempts,
because they usually disregard the
laws of nature and the chemistry of
food.
Starch does not digest In the stom-
ach. but is converted partly in the
mouth and partly in the small intes-
tines. The juices of the stomach in
terfere with the digestion of starch
because they are acid. Starch digests
in the mildly alkaline medium found
in the small intestine, and the natural
saliva of the healthy mouth fills the
starch with protecting capsule that
passes 1t safely through the stomach
without absorbing the gastric juice.
Then, If the starch be in a natural
form. 1t will be properly digested, the
required starch will be assimilated and
the excesses discarded from the body.
And now +. o few simple rules for
fat folks:
First. Be sure that your teeth and
mouth are in fit condition to process
the starch. Remember, acid mouth
prevents the saliva from performing
its normal function and many over
weight people begin to lose weight as

would thus be able to keep Johnny
always in front Of him.
Come cut and fight! You're afraid

other. I've got this hole; let's see
you get me out of it."
Il WILL" growled Johnny. I'll make

way"

ingly.
So they growled and they snarled
and they snarled and they growled at
each other, and all the time Johnny
was watching for a chance to sLring
in and get hold Of this impudent
stranger to drag him out, or try to-.
And all the time the stranger was
watching every move Johnny made
SO as to be ready when he should at
tack. All the lime each was taunting
the other and each was growing
angrier, if that were possible.
At last Johnny thought he saw a
chance and darted forward. The other
was ready for him and teeth clashed
with teeth without doing any damage
This was repeated several times. Then
the stranger threw caution to the
winds. He was spelling for a fight.
He was not afraid. When Johnny
least expected i the stranger suddenly
sprang out and caught Johnny at a
disadvantage. He knocked Johnny
over and in q fash was on top Of
him. Then began such o fight as the
Green Meadows had not seen for
many Q day. With teeth and claws,
biting, kicking, each did his best to
make the other quit. The fur flew!
Yes, indeed, the fur few! It flew
from both. Now it would be from
Johnny's coat and now from the
strangers.
They rolled over and over, first one,
then the other, underneath. Johnny
was finding the stranger even a bet
ter fighter than he had expected. Not
only was ne young and strong, put he
knew all the tricks Of successful fight
ing. 1t was clear at once that he had

The Negative Double.

IN THE days of auction the mega
tive double was a fine, upstand-
ing, church-going type OF bid.
i There was scarcely a moment
when he was not at work, pokiI.g
his nose into the opponents business.
Something undoubtedly happened to
him when contract came along. He
was still the same charming bid that
he always was, but he couldn't seem
to get along in the new environment.
Or, perhaps it was his companions.
At any rate, players got nicked too
many times using the old auction,
short suited, two primary trick double,
and he became sadly out at the ell
bows. He didn't precisely disappear,
but he became relegated to the sur
reptitious position of John Barleycorn.
I decided to revive this bid, but
subdivided 1t into three types:
/. The Strategic Double.
This double is made purely for stra-
tegical purposes on a hand containing
one long suit. You are presumably
willing to play the hand at the level
Of two or three, doubled or undoubled
Instead Of overcalling, you double
The opponents, misleading your hand,
may either fail to go on to game or
sell out to you at cheap sacrifice.
2. The Distributional Double.
With the strategic double, you have
seen a safety spot for the hand in
your own suit. With a distributional
double, the safety is in your part
ner's suit. You are short-Suited your
self. To protect your partner, who
may have to respond on pitiful hold
ing, your hand must present an i'm
posing array of high cards, distrib-
uted in two or three of the unbid
suits.
5. The Deductive Double.
Since the bidding is conventionally
kept open on q prayer these days, it
is always wise to be suspicious when
there is a quick pass by the responder
Presumably your partner has been ly-
ing back with little something. Pro-
vided you have no especially long suit
Of your own, you must protect him
with a deductive double He may have
trumps massed against the declarer
and pass joyfully.
Know the bidding methods Of your
opponents before you become too lib
eral about reopening. If they are
using my no trumps, a deductive dou-
BILE may drive your partner into the
bidding for useless 450-point set.
