Here's way to get rid of ugly fat that works hand in hand with Nature. Millions of people are losing millions of pounds of flabby flesh and getting back slender fig ures. without the need of starvation diets or back-breaking exercises.
 Medical science has discovered that one of the causes of too much fat lies in a little gland. It is the duty of this tiny gland to make about one drop and . half every day of a vital fluid This helps the body "burn" up food and excess fatty tissues just as a good draft of air helps the furnace to burn up coal without forming "clinkers". If this little gland doesn't make this drop and half of fluid every "A hours. many people take on ugly fat
 Doctors correct this condition by feeding this little gland the substance it lacks-and Marmola Prescription Tablets are based on this same method. Millions are using them with success. They are prepared by a famous medical laboratory. Their formula is pub lished in every package so you know what you are taking.
 So don't waste time and money with star vation diets or back-breaking exercises. Go to your druggist today and get . box of Marmola. Try this simple. easy way te 0se rid 0f exeesG fAE

In the conventional four move

descriptive character. Quiet music
representing the flowing of the
Thames forms the framework of epi-
ssodes widely varied in mood-the
.hustling gayety of London streets. the
.gentle melancholy of the atmosphere
sof Bloomsbury, the despair of hunger

DAIRY INDUSTRIES
HISTORY OUTLINED
Harry R. Daniel Traces Growth
in Sixth of Radio
Series

Growth of the dairy industry from
prehistoric times to the present, when
1t ranks as one of the largest, with
an annual production of nearly s4,-
600, 100000, was traced yesterday by
Harry r. Daniel of the Commerce
Department in the sixth of a new
series of Tuesday afternoon broad
casts on American industries.
Dramatic interludes depicted the
discovery by Louis Pasteur of the
process OF purifying milk by heating
and the introduction of ice cream by
Dolly Madison at White House
function in 1918. Virtually unknown
at that time. ice cream now is re-
sponsible for operation of $500 plants
in this country. These use $780,
100000 quarts of milk a year.
There are now 26,000,000 dairy COWS
in the United States-one for each
flve persons-and they produce A.
OOO, 100000 quarts of milk a year.
Butter is produced at 4,5O0 cream
cries, which during 1888 used 18,OOO,-
100000 quarts of milk and produced
700,000,000 pounds of butter. But
ter today is of higher quality than
in the past, due to new methods of
milk separation and testing, Mr.. DAN
iel said.
Ralph E. Flanders of Boston, a
member of the Business Advisory
Council Of the Commerce Department,
described the creation of new work
as a result off the invention of ma
chimes. He admitted, however, that
development of new machinery may
result in numerous personal tragedies
in industries outmoded by new ma
chinery.
The program included music by the
Marine Band under direction of Capt.
Taylor Branson and was broadcast by
the national network of the Columbia
Broadcasting System and by short
wave to South America.

The era when young man could

To Be Imperfect

Bearing Must Be Pol
ished to Right Degree of
Imperfect Circle.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA giant
steel bearing to support the worlds
largest telescope atop a California
mountain must be imperfect to be per-
feet, an engineer said today.
It's a job which engineers at the
Westinghous plant in South Phila-
delphia won't and can't hurry, George
H. Froebel, in charge of the work, said.
We've got to machine the bearing
and polish it to just the right degree
of an imperfect CIRCLE, so that when we
get the thing out there and get it as
sembled the bearing will fall into a
perfect circle. We've got to know how
imperfect to make it to make 1t per-
feet.
There are ITO tons in the horseshoe
in which the telescope tube will swing,
and its own weight throws the bearing
out OF shape"
The steel bearing Is Is feet in d.
ameter.
Work Will require three months.

TO HITLER DENIED
Chamberlain Tells Commons
Talks in Berlin Had Been
Valuable.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain told the
House of Commons in a cautious
statement today that talks between
British Viscount Halifax and German
Reichsfuehrer Hitler on foreign pol
icy had been valuable" but that mo
pledges have been given"
Answering a question by Laborite
Ernest Thurtle, the Premier stressed
that the conversation was conf
Dental" and added:
Il am satisfied, however, that the
visit has been valuable in furthering
the desire, which I believe to be gen.
orally felt in both countries, for the
establishment Of closer mutual under
standing"
Ignores Colonies Question.
Chamberlain did not answer ques-
ton by Godfrey Mander, opposition
liberal member, whether Britain
was considering giving Germany a
free hand in Austria and Czechoslo-
vakia in return for Hitler's refrain
ing from demands for colonies for
six years.
He did, however, tell Arthur Hen
derson, Labor, that mo pledges have
been given"
Franc, he said, had not yet been
informed on results of the conversa-
tions of the lord president of the
council and the German Fuehrer.
He indicated, however, this would
be done when Premier Camille Chau-
temps and Foreign Minister Yvon
Delbos come to London next week.
Security Topic Of Study.
The French statesmen, diplomats
said, would study with Chamberlain
and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
the future Of the hitherto well estab-
lished British-F French policy of COL
lective security based upon the League
Of Nations.
This policy was said to have been
challenged as a result of what were
described as Chancellor Hitler's de-
mands to Viscount Halifax.
The proposed British talks with
Premier Camille Chautemps and
Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos were ex-
pected to be more than conference on
Halifax's discussions with Hitler. In
formed sources saw them as prepara-
tion for Delbos conig tour of Euro
pean capitals.
Before the cabinet met this morn
ing Halifax had a private half-hour
