and these must be supplied daily
even while you are reducing.
It is possible to plan a reducing
menu that calls on body fat at the
rate of one to two pounds per week,
and at the same time includes all
the protective foods needed to
keep you feeling fit.
The way to plan reducing diet
that will improve the health as
well as the figure is to build the
menu around these foods. After
that, you may eat as you please
within your calorie limits.
A reducing menu is qualitatively
safe if it includes daily the fol
lowing foods:
One egg
One serving Of lean meat
Fruit-Two servings, one OF
which is a citrus fruit
Vegetables-Two or three serv-
ings, with a potato included
three times week
Milk-At least one glass OF
SKINNED milk or buttermilk
Butter pat
Bread-A minimum OF two
slices, preferably wholegrained
bread
You can see that simply cutting
down on all your food does not
constitute a safe reducing diet.
Nor can you safely reduce by de-
letting all fattening foods from the
menu.
The reducing menu is guam
titatively safe as long as it covers
two-thirds your calorie require
ments. You burn from IA to 18
calorieS per pound of body weight,
depending on your activity. With
very little exercise you use IA
calorieS, and with light exercise,
1872 calories per pound.
The average person may fairly
accurately determine her calorle
requirements by using Is as the
factor. Multiply your normal
weight (not your present weight)
by 16, and use two-thirdS that
number as the calorie minimum
to arrive at a safe reducing diet
for your energy needs.
A diet is as reducing as the
limit it imposes on the calorie
intake, and as safe as the pro
tective food content. The pro
tective foods are always included
in normal amount. not in re
duced amounts.

BILL WOULD END
BUREAUS0F NAVY
Mas for Establishing Modi-
fled Form of Army General
Staff System.

A bill is in course of preparation by
Representative Melvin J. Mas, Re-
publican. of Minnesota, that will
abolish the bureau system Of the Navy
Department and establish modified
form OF the Army's general staff
system. 1t will effect a complete re-
organization of the administration of
the Navy Department and under the
proposed new set-up the chief of
naval operations, the present in
cumbent of which is Admiral William
D. Leahy would be chief of staff
The opinion has been expressed
that there Is an overlapping in the
authority of the different bureaus,
and also serious gaps in authority
between the bureaus, resulting in an
improper chain of authority which
will be provided for by a general staff
system. 1t is of interest in this con-
nection to reproduce the words of
President Roosevelt, spoken 10 years
ago, when, as Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, he appeared before a special
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives considering the reorganiza-
ton of the Government budget and
accounting system which led to the
creation of the present General Ac-
counting Office and Bureau of the
Budget. In the course of his testi-
mony given before that special COM
mittee in 1919 the President said:
I'VE all feel in the Navy Depart
ment, quite frankly, that the present
bureau system concentrates too much
dog 1.-The manager policy on the part
of each bureau as against every other
bureau; that they are not all working
sufficiently for the common end of
the Navy Department, and that they
are working too much for the particu-
lar good of their own particular
bureau. And that has gone on
through administration after admin
istration. 1t has been the history Of
the department for so years."
Capt. Edward A. Duff, who has been
serving as chief of the chaplains'
division of the Bureau of Navigation
since July, 1885, has requested sea
duty and will be assigned to the
U. S. S. California as chaplain of the
battle force. He will relieve in June
Capt. Robert De B. Workman Chap
lain Corps, who will succeed Chap
lain Duff as chief of the chaplains'
division.

LEAD
CURB HIGHER
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Jan. S Q.N.S0.
Firming somewhat in later trad.
ing, curb stocks worked irregularly
higher today, led by the utilities
and individual issues. Gains we're
of modest proportions in most in.
stances although volume was fair.
A fairly pronounced buying
movement produced best gains of
the list in the power shares. Colum-
bia Gas preferred, up 2 points in
unusually heavy buying for so
high priced a stock, was the fea-
ture of the list. United Light pre-
ferred gained more than a point
and Eastern Gas preferred almost
a point. United Light A, Electric
Bond and Share and American
Light and Traction were showing
good fractional gains in the lower
priced division.
Outside of the aluminums most
advances in the speciality stocks
were trivial. Aluminium of Amer
lea netted 4 points and Aluminium
Ltd, 3 points on scattered pur-
chaSes.
Pittsburgh Plate Glass slipped
a point and American Cyanamid B

Fractional gains of the 1s and

SURVEY SEEKS
BANKVIEWS0N
u. 5. AGENCIES

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-A ques-
tionnaire to determine the general
attitude of banks in all parts Of
the country in respect to Govern
ment lending agencies has been
distributed under the supervision
of the Committee on Banking
Studies of the American Bankers
Association and committees OF
State bankers associations.
The questionnaire refers specifi-
cally to the Federal Land Banks,
the, Land Bank Commissioner, Pro-
duction Credit Associations, Banks
for Cooperatives and Federal Saw
ings and Loan Associations. 1t
asks whether these agencies are in
competition with the bank ad-
dressed and whether the subject is
of sufficient Importance to the
bank to warrant a detailed study
of their operations in its county.
It also asks whether any other
Government lending agencies are
considered as being in competition
with the bank, what these agencies
are and what specific counter
measures it has been taking.
The questionnaires have been
sent out, it is stated, to State aSso-
Citations which are cooperating
with the committee on banking
studies in the inquiry for distribu-
ton among all banking institu-
tions. All but five State associa-
tions also have committees en-
gagged in research on the question
of Government lending and its eff
fects on banking.
Detailed procedure in the in
quiry is left for individual associa-
tions to determine, and the COM
mittee on banking studies will CO
ordinate the results. 1t has been
found that the situation with re-
spect to Government lending dtt-
fers widely in various States, but
it is planned to reduce the find
ingS so far as possible to uni
form and concurrent basis.
