Three Kinds of Overweight.

I sometimes think that most of us
are just a little too severe in crltl-
cizing those who are overweight.
While practically every case can
remove some fat by cutting down on
food, nevertheless there are some
overweights who honestly try to re-
duce in this way, with results that,
to them at least, are disappointing.
In justice to overweights it must
be stated that the great majority OF
them inherit the tendency to over
weight. Close questioning by the
physician usually brings out the fact
that if neither the father nor the
mother were overweight. one of the
grandparents or an uncle or aunt
carried many excess pounds. DR..
C.. c.. Lambie in the British Lancet
tells us that some 10 per cent of
overweights have overweight par
ents, so even where the parents
were not overweight, the tendency
to overweight is likely present in
goodly number of other cases.
DR.. Lambie puts overweight into
three classes: (O developmental
(natural or inherited tendency, (b)
metabolic (where the body proc
esses work slowly and allow fat to
accumulate instead of burning it
up), and (c) nutritional (where
more food is eaten than the body
needS).
The energy requirement of the
body is the amount of energy need
ed to keep the body processes 60
ing, to supply energy for muscular
work-walking playing, working
and to cover the dynamic action Of
food. If these three needs are taken
care of, and still there is food un-
used then this will be stored up in
the body as fat"
1t is estimated that from 70 to 30
per cent of all the food eaten is
used by the body just to keep it's
processes going properly; that only
about 20 to 80 per cent is needed for
the work the body does with the
muscles in doing our daily work.
Thus a man of average weight
and height, $50 pounds, 5 feet 7
inches tall. in doing an hours walk
covering 2l2 miles would require on
ly about a slice of bread to supply
the needed energy for the walk.
Thus if walking does not demand
a great amount of energy because
the body is always on the ground,
nevertheless if so much food is
needed by the body every day
very considerable amount of this
food or fuel is used by the body
processes even if the individual is
lying quietly in bed.
However, when real hard work is
done such as outdoor digging, han
ding ice, coal, or other heavy ma
terials, eight or more hours a day,
then a great amount of food is need
ed-just twice as much as if this in
dividual were lying quietly in bed.

Well he might be that! There was
no period in his life when, whatever
the occasion, he wasn't the most
handsome male creature present,
the most striking and debonair.

Commercializing Football.

ONCE upon a time, and not so
W very long ago, a college was
known by the football team it kept.
Now it's known largely as the col
lege that some football team is keep
ing.
And sport writer's say that more
money is now being wagered on
football than on any sport we
have. And it doesn't take an ex-
pert's eye to see that, each season,
football is becoming more and more
commercialized, more and more
professional, profit-making industry.
Well, if football is to go the way of
wrestling and horse racing and
prize-fghting, it'll pretty soon be so
that about the only game a chap
can play without fixing somebody
beforehand will be solitaire.
Still, being a football devotee does
keep you out in the open air. But
you could say that same thing for
seagull.

IT'S fun to cross a river with at

like a river to be dampish-in spots,
anyhow.
After two years l can't get used
to southern California rivers, where,
for nine months a year, the only
craft you can navigate is stone
boat, and unless they use sprink-
ling system you can't see where
you're going, and they deepen the
channel by blasting and not by
dredging, and you come back from
an aquatic trip full of hayfever dust.

Billy Spendlove, from Vancouver
B. c., will take on another tough Ca
madam when he meets Johnny Dem
chuk, the middleweight champion OF
Canada. Demchuk has proven his
ability to meet Spendlove by his de-
cisive win over Kusek and by his az
gressiveness when he wrestled Meyers
two weeks ago.
Spendloye, however, is a real tough
boy and always makes his opponent
wrestle.
Another bout OF equal importance
pits Jacques Eskimo Eku, the Alas
kan, against Klein Kusek. The Eski-
mo feels more confident now because
he secured a draw last week with the
villianous Meyers. He expects to be
able to handle himself capably, as he
just returned from a five-week sue
cessful tour on the coast, where he
met all corners in the middleweight
field.

tific match between Tex Hager, the

joy their bouts that way will be

Plaintiffs complaint is substantially as

day of April, 1880, the date of the filing OF
this action; that plaintiff and defendant
were married at Pocatello, Idaho, on or

there is no issue of said marriage; that

INCREASE in CHILD LABOR

Child labor has risen IS per cent in
tbs last seven months, reports the
U. S. Children's Bureau, a survey Of
six states and l02 cities in % other
states showing that while only 1000
unemployment certificates were issued
to IA and ~l5-year-old children in 1884,
more than 1000 we're granted in the
seven months following the Supreme
Courts invalidation of the NRA. Be-
tween six and seven million children OF
pre-school age are denied proper edu-
cation opportunities, according to a
report OF the Child Development In
%stitute, Columbia University. Among
those between the ages of 10 and "a,
100000 or % per cent are out of
school and unemployed, an increase Of
over $50 per cent since 1880. Child
workers receive as low as rs cents a
week. More than two million children
between the ages Of 10 and II are gain
fully employed, according to the latest
census.
Legislation to control or prohibit
child labor has been opposed, among
others, by the D. A. R., the Catholic
Daughters of America, and a Mrs.
Z. B. Huling Of Larchmont, N. Y,
who claims to be chairman of a ma
tional federation Of IS organizations
opposing any interference with child
labor. Recently the N. Y. c. Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, refused to en-
dorse a child labor amendment on the
ground that it would put more chill
dren in schools, thereby increasing
taxes.

REFEREE AL LEE
MAKES WRESTLERS
OBEY THE RULES

Referee All Lee was kept busy last
Monday night at the Miners union
wrestling matches separating Klein
Kusek from Johnny Demchuk, Cana
dian middleweight champ. Kusek in
sisted on pulling hair and binding
Demchuk by rubbing his knuckles in
his eyes. Lee was determined that
there should be a high degree Of
craftsmanship contributed by both
sides and his efforts met with the
plaudits OF the crowd. The second fall
of this main affair was awarded to
Demchuk as a penalty on Kusek for re-
peated ignoring OF the warnings Of AL
Lee. Awarding that particular fall to
Demchuk, met with the approval Of
the house. Thereafter Kusek was a
little more genteel in his conduct. The
sanction seeming to have had a salutary
effect. Demchuk succeeded in getting
the last and final fall. He is a very
clean wrestler and quite a fayorite.
The middle event Of the evening
drew continued hand clapping from the
fans. There is art and grace in these
boys who follow the wrestling game,
and there wa many a demonstration
Of both strength and agility in the bat
tie between Meehan and Skaarda.
Skaarda showed his disappointment at
losing the match. Although the big
Canadian, to the eyes OF the specta-
tors, far outweighed the blond Fin, the
advantage was partially overcome, at
least by Rudy's more experienced and
finished tactics. To anyone who loves
to witness the beauty Of a sheer eX-
hibition OF strength, this match was
worth going miles to see. Another
feature eliciting the admiration of the
spectators was the denial of both
wrestlers to accept any advantage
which they may have cleaimed through
being under the ropes. Many times
both Of them %purposely drew their legs
into the ring, when suffering from a
severe hold, out of sheer sportsman
ship. In order to get a true apprecia-
ton of the ability OF these two men,
each should be matched with the same
opponent, as a relative test of ability
before being r%enatched.
Meyers opposed Eskimo Eku in the
preliminary. The boy from Great
Falls is a hard man to put down.
Sometimes he gets under the skin Of
the audience but their temporary irri-
tation at some OF his methods are soon
overcome by admiration for his con-
slant gameness and headwork in a
pinch. Eku showed flashes OF brill
liancy but not enough to overcome
Meyers, although the match ended in
a draw.
