SHANGHAI HAS VARIOUS KINDS

When Chrl1tmas comes 10 Shanghai a cross section Of the world makes holiday. The average Chinaman fails to get the meaning of it, but such fun-loying people can do well with enc more celebration.

 There is a distinct western touch to the observance of the season by the most cosmopolitan city.

conditions, officers and depart

NEW DEAL BANK
. BILL ASSA|LED
BY VANDERBILT
international News Service

In q blunt statement bristling
with criticism of New Deal Brain
Trusters," Frank A. Vanderlip, re-
tired New York banker, today
branded the Administrations new
banking legislation as unsound and
fraught with the evils of politics.
Mr.. Vanderlip appeared before
the Senate Banking Committee.
He deviated briefly from the sub
ject of banking, and admonished
Congress to remain in session and
enact laws not written by econo-
mists, but by the legislators them
selves.
Criticizing the pending bill, he
said:
1.-THE trouble with the measure
you now have before you is
much deeper than the Objec-
tions which bankers have be-
latedly been raising.
This bill creates a mechanism
political in its character, when it
should be as nOnpOlitical as the
Supreme Court"
The pending bill, he said, is not
within the limits of the Constitu-
ton, as it proposes to pass to the
Executive the powers of both cur
rency management and policy.
Mr.. Vanderlip sounded the same
objection which Senator Carter
Glass CD of Virginia has been
harping on during the present ses-
sion of Congress. He said the
banks were loaded with nonliquid
Government securities and that
the pending bill contemplated a
machinery that would permit the
Government to add to that bur
den.
Congress has been spending too
much time on measures written by
economists, said the witness.

the number OF deaths from surgical
operations in the obese (overweight)
is greater than of lean persons.
Having established the fact that
more Tat than lean patients die fol
lowing surgical operations, Doctor
SeIfert investigated the reasons for
this.
His findings show that the lean
person who dies following an oper.
alton on account of an abdominal
disorder dies because OF the disor-
der or some complication OF the
disorder following the operation.
on the other hand the death OF
the overweight person results ac-
tually from conditions due to his
overweight: the failure OF the
heart and the blood vessels to do
their work properly being the most
important cause.
Not only that but the figures and
diagrams arranged from this inves-
tIgation show that even II the over.
weight survives the operation he Is
stIll at a greater disadvantage for
disturbances following the operation
occur more frequently In the over
weight than in the lean patient.
The complications which follow
operations In overweight are the

II Is interesting and important
that overweights are made to real
ize the handicap under which they
undergo a surgical operation. and,
rs mentioned above, most of them
naturally come through all right,
but they do not do "a well as lean
individuals and the reason for this
is not the disease-cancer. ulcer,

cess weight greatly interferes with
all the body processes.
Now while most overwelghts will

A Reducing Diet

As II Is known that starch foods
potatoes. bread. sugar. and fat
foods-butter. cream. fat meats
are the foods that are the most fat
forming. cutting down on starches
and fats IS the usual method OF
reducing weight.
One who is trying to reduce must
not eat the following foods:
Rich salad dressing. such as may
onnaise and Russian; sugar; Gus
tards; candies; rich cakes; any
pies; rich gravies; fat fish such as
salmon, shad, herring. butterfish
and mackerel; fat meats such as
pork. duck, goose; chocolate milk
shakes; marmalades; nuts; cream !;
fried foods; cream soups and gra-
vies. In other words, foods which
are rich in fat and starch must be
avoided. Too much bread and but
ter must not be eaten.
