WE OWE DEBT TO OUR FORGOTTEN
AMERICANS
(By BRUCE CATION

So many biographies are oelng prihleu
these days that you'd hardly think any
American of the slightest Importance had
been missed by the men who write life his
tories for the reading public.
But it does happen. Indeed, the biogra-
pliers have barely scratched the surface.
For proof, consider the fact that the twen-
tieth volume of the Dictionary of American
Biography has just been printed - an
eight-year job. containing brief stories
about more than 1880 past and present
Americans whose lives were significant
enough to deserve preservation in history.
And it is an odd thing, considering the
fact that each of these persons contributed
his or her share to the shaping of the ma
ton, to reflect that there are thousands of
people in this vast dictionary of whom
most of us never heard before.
Who. for instance, was Hannah Adams?
Who was Ohio Columbus Barber, and what
did he do that affects your life today? Who
was William A. Bullock, and how does
his life work influence your own existence?
Who were Thomas Fitzpatrick and Leslie
X Kelley and Francois Provost?
They're worth finding out about. Han
nah Adams, for instance, was the first
American woman to make writing pro-
fession; she helped, in other words, to
pave the way for people like Villa Gather
and Edna Ferber and Dorothy Thompson
and Edith Wharton.
Ohio Barber used to peddle handmade
matches from door to door; he wound up
as founder of the great Diamond Match
company, and the next time you strike a
match to light cigaret or start a fire on
the hearth, you might reflect that Ohio
Barber helped make the job easy for you
= William A. Bullock invented the high
speed printing press, and you can't escape
from his influence if you read newspa-
per. Fitzpatrick was trapper and Indian
agent whose name might well rank beside
Kit Carson's. Kelley devised the method
of treating and rehabilitating drunkards
which bears his name to this day. Provost
:. performed the first Caesarean operations
in medical history. -,,.. ST.

with cream. Fat contains two and
one-fourth times as many calories
as carbohydrates, so one cannot be
too pleased with omitting sugar
when twice the quantity Of cream
is used.
Many Of you never eat breakfast,
and know from your letters that
some Of you think my reducing
menus contain too much food. You
couldn't eat that much! Granted,
the food content Of these daily
menus Is higher, but the calorie
content is lower than in your usual
menus. One thousand to 1900
calories a day allows no margin for
a weight gain.
These menus are in direct con.
tradition to the outmoded method
of reducing by starvation, but
smart reducers get slim on more
food and less calories.
You need a good breakfast to
set you up for the day. This meal
follows your longest period without
food, and precedes the hardest
part Of your working day.
Do you know what you can
have for breakfast and get the
most food for the least calories?
Orange juice, one egg, one slice
of toast, one teaSpoonful Of but
ter, and coffee with one teaspoon
of cream and one rounded tea
spoon of sugar. That menu sup
plies you with 800 calories, and
is a balanced breakfast.
Yes, I know you never eat
that much in the morning, but
the chances are that you take
more than that number Of calo-
rieS-and call it practically no
breakfast
You may think the fact that
you eat comparatively little should
make you slim, but you don't
know your calories! It isn't the
size of the meal, it is the calorieS
that runs the scales up or down.
Good intentions cannot carry
you far on poor calorie judg-

ment. You could leave off bread
and potatoes for the rest Of your
life and gain weight on the
trimmings-the fat and drippingS
from the steak, butter or Hol-
landaise sauce on the vegetables,
that good French dressing, and
desserts that you meant to resist.
OF all the reducers, the most
inconsistent is the one who starveS
herself all day to get slim, and
then consumes calorieS at the rate
Of 1900 a dinner, because she
"only eats one meal a day." 1t is
never a good idea to take the
majority Of your calories at the
end Of the days activity. It is
far more sensible to spread the
calories over the day, when you
need them.
You will find that the easiest
way not only to get slim but to
stay slim is to eat three balanced
meals a day-meals that are with
in your caloric requirements.
The reducing system that most
naturally adapts itself to your
daily routine win gradually change
your food habits from fattening
to healthy, and will make keeping
slim the normal thing to do.

Non-Intervention
Body Says Soviet
Lives Up To Pact
Moscow to Offer More
Proof in Two Charges
Held in Allegiance
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON. Nov. 5.-(UP)-The
Spanish non-intervention commit
tee last night acquitted Soviet
Russia of virtually all German
charges that it had broken its
compact by sending munitions to
the Spanish loyalists.
On two of the eight German
charges which were left in abey-
ance. Ambassador Ivan Maisky
promised to obtain more informa-
ton from Moscow to substantiate
RuSsia's denial of guilt.
Yesterdays session of the COM
mittee was marked by a stormy
debate between Maisky and AM
bassador Dino Grandi of Italy in
which they cast aspersions on
each others intelligence and po-
litical beliefs.
Besides denying the German al.
legations, Maisky also presented
to the committee a note denying
recent British charges that Rus
STA had shipped supplies to the
loyalists. He termed them "abso-
lutely unfounded. The ships in
question-the Spanish steamer
Campechio and the Russian boats,
Starri Bolshevik and Chrushchev
took nothing to Spain but food
and trucks, he maintained.
Although the debate in the COM
mittee was on Germany's charges
Count Otto Won Bismark, the
Reich's representative, allowed his
Colleague Grandi to do most OF
the talking.
The battle of words started
when Grandi ridiculed the Soviet
statement that the ships sent to
| Spain carried only food and sup
| plies for women and children
Maisky, irked, said he knew that
the Italian was incapable of un'
derstanding humanitarian mo-
tives.
81 am not astonished that Gran
di remains unshocked by the bonn
bardment of helpless inhabitants
including women and children,
the Russian said. THAT is charac
teristic of a tendency Grandi rep
resents, which is aiming for war.
During the debate Grandi &C
cused Maisky of ignorance about
the industrial geography of hi
own country.
