CONVIcTS REVEAL
LATEST TERROR IN
GRIM
Naked and Starving Men Re-
vert to Primitive and Rum
Wild on Island.

Panama.-New tales Of terror are
beginning to come from the grim
Galapagos.
Naked and starving men are rum
ming wild, and life has reverted to
the primitive since Ecuador placed
a prison camp on those lush Pacific
islands, officials here have been I'M
formed by smuggled letters.
Begging for help lest they die OF
suffering, five political prisoners
sent the narrowing story from San
Cristobal, $40 miles of the South
American coast, to the newspaper
Star Herald.
"You cannot imagine the suffer-
ings we have to endure" they
wrote.
1--WE are entirely without clothes.
1--WE are deprived Of the most
elementary articles Of everyday life.
I'VE are detained under condi-
tions probably unparalleled in any
other country or part Of the world.
This island is under military
guard, twenty men under command
Of two officers, who at the same
time are the highest authority on
the island.
SAT our arrival they simply in
formed us that Ecuador does not
assign as much as one cent for
the purpose Of feeding persons con-
fined to this island and thus could
not supply Vi any food.
Exc Out Own Living.
"The officers informed us that
from now on it was entirely up to
us to e what to do OF how to
make a living"
The prisoners, whose spokesman
signed himself F.-S. Coleman OF
Hungary, said their "only crime
was having entered the country Of
Ecuador without proper travel pa
pers," yet "even criminals confined
behind prison bars live much more
humanely than they treat us on
this remote island."-
They said their Imprisonment was
by direct order of the government"
Of Ecuador, but said nothing to in
dictate whether or not they might
be one Of a party of prisoners sent
to the Galapagos in January on
charges of spreading Communistic
propaganda in Ecuador.
The story they told was in keep
ing with bizarre accounts Of life
on other islands Of the Galapago
archipelago.
~ Baroness Vanishes.
The tactics they attributed to their
military guard were reminiscent of
those of the Baroness Eloise de
Wagner, a German, who until re-
Gently ruled Paradise island in silk
panties and q silver pistol cord. At
the end Of the cord was a gun she
used to threaten anyone who hap
pened: to be in her disfavor at the
moment.
The baroness proclaimed herself
empress" of Paradise and ruled
supreme until she disappeared in
1884. She could not be found after
the bodies of two Of her men COM
~panions-Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, OF
Paris, and Trygve Nuggrud, a sailor
were discovered on the beach Of
Marchena island 100 miles away.
Before she left, DR.. Frederick Rit-
ter, a German dentist, who was on
the island with Frau Dora Koervin
before the empress arrived, died as
q result of what Frau Koervin said
was poison. ~ ~
The five prisoners on San Girls
tobal came from five countries:
Hungary, Prussia, Spain, France
and Honduras. They called their
treatment on the island "a dis
grace to civilization"

how, 1t lacked romance. And his
well-knit average-siZe frame promised
protection, but did not convey the
feeling of hidden power, of unques-
tionable domination. Bill was a nice
fellow to be with; he was easy-going
and friendly, and she did like him,
but
A soft sigh escaped her as he drew
his arms away.
TN let you know, by tomorrow
she murmured.
The sound of radio transmitted
dance music came to Marie as she
arrived at Doris Martins apartment,
lust above her own. A small crowd
was already present, dancing, talking,
laughing.
"Oh, Marie, you're just in time"
Doris greeted Tom and Betty
brought a guest along, and guess who
It IL. Oh, but you'd never guess! It's
Jerry Hanson, the Midwest foot ball
star!'
MARES eye wtdened. "You mean
AVA Jerry Hanson's here?"
Doris nodded. Come on, I'll intro
duoe you"
Marie followed breathlessly to the
divan where sat a tall, handsome
Young man with shoulders that
seemed unreal. and the body OF a
Greek god. The introduction was
short, and Marie found herself sit
ting next to Jerry Hanson, conscious
Of being awed.
"Iye read a lot about you" Marie
said. It seemed the only thing she
could say, for start.
He grinned. a happy, carefree. cock
sure grin. Midwest has good press
agent" he said.
There was nothing conceited in his
nnaner, she noticed. He was wonder
tul!
But" she reminded him, "the press
agent doesn't score all those touch
downs"
He grinned again. But I've got a
rood line to clear the way for me.
Like that last touchdown I made
arainst State. If the right guard
hadn't been on the job would have
been smeared for a 10-yard loss. And
then If the end hadn't boxed his men
I'd never have gotten past the line OF
scrimnage. And down near the 20
ward line the right half took out the
safety man. All had to do was run
with the ball"
+
MARIE could think Of no reply for
AVA q moment. The strains Of pop
MAR waltz were coming from the radio
COUPLES swirled past them in time with
the music. She looked at Jerry, but
he sat there unmoving, looking on.
She wasn't sure Just how to handle
Evening star., 1937-01-20

Jerry said as the tray was offered to
him. Then, with grin, I'm in
training"
Marie fingered the cocktail glass,
strangely i'll at ease. She looked at
the cocktail for a few moments, un-
certain what to do. At last she drank
it down quickly.
THE conversation, she noticed, had
= died. She felt the need of keep
ing it going.
You're a senior, aren't you?" she
asked
He nodded. I'll get the sheepskin
in June"
What do you intend to do?" Marie
was acting automatically. conscious
OF an uncertainty. The trend of the
conversation was strange to her. Al
ways when she had talked with a
young man 1t had been about her.
She knew, in all modesty, that she
was the best-looking girl in the room.
A quick glance into her compact mir
ror assured her that she was looking
her best tonight.
I've had few offers from small
colleges to become a coach" he was
saying. And two professional teams
have sent out 'feelers.' I'm not sure
yet what I'll do"
She looked at him with starry eyes.
She knew that she was beautiful;
many men had told her that. She
thrilled when he looked into her eyes
for a moment; she felt her pulse
quicken.
ITS a case of which offer prom
ises the best future" he said. I've
got a long time to decide"
MARIE sank back. Her pulse slowed
A to normal. She looked about the
room. saw the others laughing, enjoy
ing themselves. She sighed softly.
As the party began to break up,
Marie's heart fiuttered once more.
Jerry Hanson was going to see her
to her apartment. In the hallway
they would be alone.
At her door Jerry said: I'm glad
to have met you. I hope I didn't
bore you" He looked into her eyes,
but his gaze was impassive. imper-
sonal. Good night" He turned and
was gone.
Marie was conscious Of strange
anger, yet a light -heartedneSS, as she
entered her apartment. She switched
on the light, and, although the clock
said it was am, she went to the
phone. She dialed a number and
waited patiently.
Hello, Bill" she said. She Won
dered at the heavy beating OF her
heart. This is Marie, Bill. I've
been thinking it over, Bill, and-Ive
decided to say Yes"

Losing Weight Rapid
ly Exacts Incredible
Beauty Toll.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF YOU want to reduce at all, the
chances are you want to reduce
quickly. That's the hue and cry Of
every woman who is the least bit over
weight. II you are 10 pounds over
weight you are probably restless to get
them over with. and If you are IS
pounds on the wrong side of the scale
you are ready to try anything. hope,
however, that you won't try anything
but a sensible, sane and gradual re-
gime.
For too fast reduction has many pit
falls. 1t may have detrimental effect
on ones health. And as for its effect
on beauty, too fast reduction invari-
ably leaves lines, wrinkles and flabbi-
ness in its wake.
Think of the outer skin as an elastic
covering that has been stretched to
accommodate the fat and muscle
structure beneath it. Too fast reduc-
ton leaves the outer covering, shrink
ing the flesh underneath. AS result
the outer skin is loose and f1abby and
soon becomes wrinkled and shriveled.
The face often looks haggard and
drawn. The eyes look dull. And ones
disposition Is lost as quickly as the
flesh.
The more sensible way Is the slow
but sure way. Speed should not be
the aim Of the reducing regime. Safety
is the essential to successful and last
ing results.
