During the past twenty-six years,
approximately 100000 boys and
men have been connected with
scouting. Of those 100000 are now
active. The graduates, or veterans
are thus becoming an increasingly
large group-there are almost six
million of them. Within the past
year various programs have been
devised to re-establish or further
their contacts with scouting and its
ideals. Older boys and young men
have been summoned to special
camps and talks, sea units have
been planned for them, and from
England has come Rover Scouting.
The latest progress in this effort
has been noted by DR.. James E.
West, recently honored on his
twenty-fifth anniversary as Chief
Executive. g.. ...'.

an alumni group, the goal, accord

in this work. His tones, however,

This concerto containing as it

Short Story!

John Lins, the sculptor, has
been working on a cast for a
medallion. During the heat spell,
he's been keeping the door of his
studio wide open to let in what
ever air is available. John also
makes it a practice to hang his
trousers over the back Of a chair,
wearing dungarees while at work.
That is sensible, but he is careless
enough to leave his wallet, his
gold watch and other possessions
in those pants. So a sneak thief
came in through the open door
while Jack was busily engaged on
his medallion and swiped those
pants, wallet, watch, etc. The
medallion on which John Lins is
working is good-luck piece which

This difference in food require
ments is determined by the relation
of surface area to weight in the
two types. DR.. H. C. Sherman,
eminent authority in nutrition re-
search, explains that the thin man
in addition to having greater sur
face area in proportion to weight
also has a higher percentage of
his weight in active tissue.
The utilization of calories, called
body metabolism, depends more
upon the percentage of active It's
sue than upon total weight, since
active tissue burns Galleries and fat
does not. No wonder the tall, thin
man, with greater surface area and
higher percentage of active tissue,
can utilize more food than the
short man!
NEEDS DICTATE
And that isn't all! Even the
short, this man has more surface
area and more active tissue in pro-
portion to weight than the fat man
of the same height, and can, there
fore, eat more food without crowd
ing his waistline.
Because of his low-fuel require
mentS, the short, fat man tends to
increase constantly his weight. 1t
seems that everything he eats
makes weight, and almost invari-
ably this type of person enjoys eat
ing and has high appreciation of
good food. To avoid obesity, he
must change his food habits. None
of the high-calorie foods-heavy
desserts, fat meats, gravieS and
fried foods - can be included in
average amounts in the diet of the
short stocky man.
The following list of fats must
be used sparingly, if at all:
Fat Meats-Pork, sausage. bo-
logna. Trim away all fat from
meats.)
Fat Salmon, shad, butter
fish, SardineS, herring.
FOwl-Goose and duck.
Miscellaneous Fats-Gravy, but
ter, mayonnaise, olive oil, salad
oils, cream, cream sauces, cheese,
buildings, pastries.

quirementS are, the less of these

cluded in his menu.

 Last Hanging Victim
(Continued from Page D

1 for many times. Their jobs done. and with the trap sprung, the guards stood with hats in hands as Siemborski's body swayed above the floor. Two of them steadied it, hold ing 1t from spinning, as 1t slumped nearer and nearer to the cement floor of the lofty-ceilinged room. Siemborski had on blue suit. Under heath was a white shirt, open at the neck.
 Two overhead lights and two wall brackets lighted the chamber as the execution took place. AS the weight was released and the body jumped crazily into the air, there was si- lence for minutes, to be broken then only by the scatching of reporters pencils. Siemborskis head hung sideways as the body dropped inch by inch toward the floor.
 End Had Come
 There was silence again for nin- uates, silence in which the breath ing of the witnesses seemed to be as loud as shouting. Finally, at 12:15, almost II minutes after the body had been shot up into the air, the two guards at the body held 8 whispered consultation. One of them placed his hands on Siem- borskis chest. He looked satisfied, and motioned to the doctors. Two minutes later Siemborski was pro- nounced dead.
 Siemborski himself had appeared at the hearing yesterday before the board of pardons, as attorneys argued that his sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment. He had the mentality of a moron, they asserted, and pointed out that good part of his 29 years had been spent in reformatories, jails, and prisons. But the board voted against clemency, and ordered the sentence imposed by Judge Arthur Els, Earnest 0. Simpson and Frank P. McEvoy carried out. Lost His Courage
 His last avenue of escape from death at tke moose closed to him, Siemborski sat in the death cell, the only one at the prison. He lost courage visibly when his mother and sisters left him late yesterday after noon. But shortly afterward Father Grady came to the cell, to remain during the last hours.
 There was no emotion on Siem- borski's face in the few seconds that his countenance was visible before the hood went over his head. The only expression was the look of wonder, of puzzlement. He died with that look on his face.
 Far above the cement floor of the execution room, far above the gro- tesquely swaying body of the man whose life had been taken by the state, a few stars were visible through a gray skylight. And out side, one could not help but think, there was night air, clean and cool and fresh.

London, April 7-(UP) = Great Britain will submit to the league of nations tomorrow concrete evidence purporting to prove that Italians have used poison gas in air raids on Ethiopian cities, it was learned to- day.
 It was believed that the evidence might lead to strong protest by the league committee of thirteen the league council without Italy which meets tomorrow to consider the Italian-Ethiopian situation.
 The protest would be based on the Geneva protocol of 1925, which bound its signatory nations, includ- ing Italy, to forego use of poison gas in warfare.
 Evidence Secured
 Great Britain's evidence of use of poison gas is based on dispatches telegraphed by Sir Sidney Barton, minister at Adds Ababa. The gov- ernment is convinced, as the result of the dispatches, that reports from Ethiopian sources of the use of poison gas in Italian air raids on cities are true. Anthony Eden, foreign secretary, will take Barton's evidence to Geneva with him when he leaves today. The charges may have important bearing on the committee of 13 meeting, which is to consider replies by Italy and Ethiopia to league appeals for peaceable termination of their war. Britain will press for immed- fate consideration of the whole war aspect, it was understood. while France concentrates on removing league penalties against Italy so that Premier Benito Mussolini may be brought into full cooperation with France, Britain and Belgium in the Rhineland negotiations with Germany.
 Ready for Conference
 British political and military chieftains made ready today for the British ch-Belgian staff conversations to be held here to I consider a joint plan of action In event Germany attacks France ot Belgium before the adoption Of 6 scheme for European peace consol- idation. It was announced official ly today that the talks would be started April 15.
