'PRETTYMAN CITES
LOAN BILL AIMS
Tells House Body Measure

Business.

Corporation Counsel e. Barrett

There Is no mercy In this bill, y
Prettyman declared. 1T is intended
to wipe out the small-loan business"
The bill, Prettyman testified, Is one
recently introduced by Chairman
Norton Of the District Committee, at
the request Of the Commissioners. It
was proposed as an alternative to an
other measure introduced at the last
session Of Congress, which would
merely regulate the business. The
Commissioners, however. according to
Prettyman, favor the old bill.
The new measure was framed be-
cause some members Of the District
Committee took the position that the
old bill would legalize the small loans
racket" instead of eliminating it.
The principal opponent of the old
bill is Representative Hull, Progress
sive, of Wisconsin.

penalties for violation. In addition,
it would make promissory notes given
illegally void and unenforceable. as

Included within the provisions OF
the new bill are the so-called "pro-

Supporters Of the bill believe the

However, the diet is not IN
tended for continued use and
should not be followed for more
than a week or ten days.
The advantages of this diet are
in the ease with which it may be
prepared and in the fact that it
almost measures itself. One ba-
mana is one banana and one glass
of SKINNED milk or buttermilk is
an exact measure, which makes it
difficult to be too generous with
servings and slip in extra calories.
Also, for all their lowcalorie
content, bananas have high Sa-
tiety value, and this is comforting
in a reducing menu. The slow
digestive qualities of the banana
offset the absence of the staying
qualities of fats, which muSt-be-
cause of their high calorie value
be omitted from reducing diet.
The disadvantages of this diet
are in its monotony, that it can
not be followed continuously, and
that it does not help to create
better food habits.
FOUNDATION MENU
This menu consists of four to
six bananas and three to four
glasses of skinned milk daily.
Most reducers find it necessary to
add lettuce, raw cabbage, celery
or fresh spinach as a source of
bulk to overcome the tendency to
constipation. The menu contains
approximately 1000 calories, and
on varied diet you may have the
following menu for that number
of calories:
1 serving of lean meat ............ 200
2 cooked vegetables. u cup each 100
Potato, mashed or boiled; n cup. 100

| Butter. l u pats or Ia level table
spoons 49,. ................. $50
fresh fruits or juices ........... 100
or more vegetables ....... SO

1880
The advantages of the thou
sand-calorie varied diet are that,
aside from being low in calorieS,
it is adequate in every respect
and is quite safe for the reducer
until normal weight is reached.
BY gradually creating better food
habits, this menu aims toward
permanent slimnesS. AS a foun-
dalton menu, it lends itself easily

The few drops of rain that fell
during the latter half of the Water
Gate concert last night in no way
dampened the enthusiasm of the
audience. Both the guests con-
ductor, Guy Fraser Harrison. and
the violincello soloist, Howard
Mitchell, received prolonged recog
milton from the audience.
Affording a washington SYM
phony audience the first opportu-
nifty of hearing the first violincel-
list of the Washington Summer
Concerts Orchestra, as a soloiSt,
Howard Mitchell played the Saint
Saens, Concerto in A Minor for
Violencello and Orchestra" with
such a breadth of tone color and
faultless technique that the audi
ence gave him the greatest ovation
that has been given so far to any
soloist appearing at the Water
Gate.
For the first time this summer
cries of "Bravo!" and cheering
were heard at the conclusion of
the violincello solo. Mr.. Harrison
led the orchestra in a delightful
accompaniment to Mr.. Mitchell'S
playing.
Guy Fraser Harrison is a con-
ductor of decisive action, which
was shown to best advantage in
his Interpretation of the overture
to "TannhauSer" (Wagner). The
varying moods and rhythms of
the Pilgrims Chorus and the
Bacchanale dances were displayed
in interesting contrast.
With the opening strains of the
Southern Roses" waltz q.
Strauss a light rain started, but
as it did not gain in volume and
persisted only at intervals, the
concert was continued. The Grain
ger Irish Tune from County
Derry" and shepherds Hey" and

1t is on record that a few must

at least it was missing from the

cation. it was ascertained that the
musician knew where his bull fid-
die was but he had lost the key
to the instrument case. It would
