fat itself is an individual matter.
There is only one cause of fat
an excess Of food. I'll admit, how
ever, glandular activity IS a factor
over which you have no control.
But not one overweight In one
hundred has anything seriously
wrong with her glands. And even
so, eating an excess Of food does
not improve a glandular condition.
Treatment of all such cases should
be under the direction of q physi-
clan, but diet is highly important
in connection with other measures.
Blood pressure is raised when
new blood cells form to nouriSh
excess fat. You can lower your
blood pressure by lowering your
weight, so that's no alibi.
A weak heart may. in a few
cases, be indirectly the cause of
overweight, but it is more likely
that your overweight is the cause
of your heart trouble. Logging
around 40 pounds Of excess pound
age is no favor to weak heart.
If you are wise, you will take your
calories seriously and decrease this
load.
AS for those of you who don't
believe in diet-you are behind the
times! BY applying science to
food, you can diet and be healthier
and happier for it.
You see, you haven't an alibi
to stand on. Normal weight is nee
essary not only for beauty but for
health. Send for the Summer

on good food.

You don't believe in diet.
No one has time to do anything
she doesn't want to do. You have
all the time in the world, and If
you plan for healthy amount Of
exercise and a more balanced diet,
you can acquire a good figure.
OF course, the woman with big
family has her hands full, and the
office worker is fatigued after
eight concentrated hours at a
desk.
The housewives exercise, plenti-
full as it is, tends to become rou-
tine. AS a rule, she uses the same
muscles over and over, and the
ones she does use are seldom the
figure-controlling muscles. But is
minutes a day of specific exercise
is all it takes to keep the average
housewives figure in shape.

One day I journeyed out into a
BIZ of country known as Holly
wood, to visit the famous gardens
Of Paul de Longpre, noted painter
of flowers. AS I saw it for the first
time in 1907, Hollywood was just a
stretch of farms and orange
groves. Grass grew in the sleepy
streets and there we're no business
buildings. only a country tavern
where the Roosevelt Hotel now
stands.
Shortly after my arrival I
heard vague reports of motion
pictures being made in Los An
geIeS. A few nights later I met
an actor who declared he was
working in them. The next day
he introduced me to Francis
BOggs, just out from Chicago to
be a director for the old SeIig

no movie studios, just meeting
places. Westerns were in vogue.

health goes, all need the same

physical exercise will help the Of

Contrary to general belief, the
De Mille-Lasky combine did not
occupy the first motion picture
studio in California. Universal es-
tablished the first one, in an old
orange warehouse at Sunset and
Cover.
1t served only as a meeting place
for the actors, who were moved to
ranch in San Fernando Valley,
now the site Of Warner Brothers
studio, with open stages and dress
ing rooms. These were later moved
to another site that became Uni
versal City. In such surroundings

day, turned out one-reel pictures

i. S. HEADS LIST
Of WORLDS HIGH
INCOME NATIONS
But Survey Shows 1t Is Not
AS Well Distributed AS
1t Might Be

Washington, Dec. 23-America's big
and expanding $60,O00,00O, 900 national
income which overtops that of anv
other country in the world brings I'D
!, question of more equaable distribu-
ION among the 10000, O0O-odd Anne
rcans.
This provocative query is the sub
iect of new studies in Washington
and elsewhere and has already pro-
auced a growing volume of critical
analysis to ballast shadowy political
eeneralizations frequently heard from
partisan sources in the capital.
Last January the Ford Motor Com
pany took it upon itself to dispute the
charge that - per cent of the people
had gained control of so or 80 per cent
of the national wealth, and flatly
declared that "72 per cent of the ma
TONS wealth is in the hands of the
people.
Not So Encouraging
4 less encouraging aspect was put
on the matter by study of the Brook
ings Institution. published in 1885.
which found that in the 1929 boom
year despite prosperity, there were:
Nineteen million families, or II per
cent, with incomes less than $500.
Sixteen million families with in
comes under $4,000.
Twelve million with incomes under
$500
SIX million families with incomes
less than $1,000
At the top of the scale it found co.
600 families with incomes in excess
Of $4,000.
The study declared:
"A family income of $500, at 1929
prices, was a very moderate one, per-
hitting few of the luxuries of life.
Hence it was clear that the consump-
tive requirements, and especially the
wants of the masses of the people
were far from satisfied.
The Goal for Attainment
The study concluded, however, that
mere redistribution of existing wealth
would not provide reasonable stand
ards Of living for the masses of the
people; that IF we are to believe the
goal of satisfactory standards of liv-
ing for everyone, the first require
ment is TO increase progressively the
total amount of the income to be di-
vided Only as the aggregate ma
tional income increases from 8O,OOO,-
100000 year to 100000 900, 900, to
S150O00,oO0,OO0 to 100000 100000 will
the goal of high standard of living
for everyone be attained"
A new study of the subject confin-
ca to the highest income bracket
group, just prepared by the Peoples
Lobby of which Prof. Colston e.
Wa7ne of Amherst College is presi-
dent, recalls that the 1929 top nation
a income of S78,632, 900, 900 had sunk
10 $53.5S7 100000 in 1885. In that year
according to the study, about one six
tieth of the families received consid-
erably over one eighth of the national
income"

New Squadron Planned?
The new ships, some quarters said
may be used in a contemplated new
squadron of five ships.
In making his announcement that

laid down in 1886, Sir Samuel said:

Shreveport, La, NOv.4.-(AP)-
Ambushers' bullets, fired at the
cab of a speeding Louisiana and
Arkansas railway passenger train,
were blamed today for the killing
of a guard and the wOunding of
the engineer and fireman.
This latest outbreak i'm a strike
of transportation workers of the
line brought instant death late

year-old ROdessa man. Several
bullets struck him in the head.
Slugs pierced the left jaw and

of Shreveport, and a bullet grazed
the neck of Engineer F. r. Bacon,
also of Shreveport. Neither was
reported in serious condition to-

Despite his wound, Bacon con-
tinued his run and brought the
train into Winfield, where he re-

ed that passengers were unaware
of the killing until the train
reached Winfield.
