inclined to accept embonpoint
phi1oSophically-it's your nature
to be overweight.
UnderweightS, as a group, are
inclined to be finicky about food
and have many idioSyncracieS
You like plain food, well cooked,
and not too much of it. You never
eat the fat part of the meat; you
relish salads and leafy vegetables,
and could live on fresh fruits.
Bread is an unimportant part of
the meal. You prefer beverages
not too sweet and you invariably
leave the crust of your pie. You
may be constitutionally slim, but
your food habits are the reason
you are thin.
In each of these groups food
habits are largely responsible for
abnormal weight. If you will OBJ
serve the eating habits of the
stylish stouts, you will find that
in, general they like to eat, and
prefer rich foods, and that the
underweightS just naturally choose
all the foods that are low in
calorieS.
Going on a diet to gain.or lose
weight is of no paramount vclue
unless you change the food habits
which control your weight. To
check a trend toward obesity, the
best starting point is to trim the
fat from the meat, cut down on
the gravy, limit the amount of
bread and butter with the meals,
take fruit for dessert and learn
to like beverages with less sugar
and cream.
Those of you who are inclined to
be too thin must consistently eat
foods prepared in the forms which
include concentrated calorieS; as
cream soups, sealloped vegetables,
cream deSSertS-and use plenty of
whole milk.
There are always exceptions to
prove every rule, and neither the
lean, wiry person who extravaganza
ly burns her calorieS, nor the
short, stocky individual who gains
on a very low calorie diet, con-
forms to these general groups.
However, when analyzed, it is seen
that the lean persons food habits
aren't particularly fattening, and
that the Stocky ones do not
naturally choose foods low in
calorieS.
REGARDLESS of inherited ten
dencies, weight trends parallel
food habits.

DEBT DEFAU[TED
BY BLUM REGIME
New French Note Similar to
Previ0us-TotaI $780,.
227,866.
By the Associated Press.


The Socialist government of Premier
Blum of France followed its predeces-
sors yesterday in defaulting on its semi
annual war debt payment of $75,787,-
725 to the United States.
Authoritative quarters, awaiting the
new French governments first official
pronouncement of the debt question
with more than ordinary interest be-
cause Of Blum's post-election hint that
something definite soon might be done
about it, were disappointed.
Reiterating his governments con-
tinued inability to pay, a formal note
to Secretary Hull from Jules Henry, the
French charge d'affaires, differed only
in slight changes of phraseology from
previous communications.
The principal difference was the ad-
dition of single sentence asserting
that the French government "has not
overlooked the difficulties involved in
the question Of debts and hopes that
they may be overcome"
AS before, however. the note added
that France still found itself unable
at present to advance any proposals
calculated to bring about settlement.
BY failing to meet its June IS INSTALL
ment, France increased its total indebt-
edness in arrears to $250,227 1866.
Marking the seventh nation thus far
to default on its latest semi-annual
payment, Esthonia also notified the
State Department yesterday that it,
too, was unable to pay $322,850 due
from that country tomorrow. Its total
due and unpaid was thus raised to ST.
611,s86.
Great Britain. italy, Lithuania,
Yugoslavia and Rumania previously
had given notice of their default. Out
of IS debtors, Finland is the only
country which thus far has made its
payments promptly.
