Thanksgiving D ay
which the Franklin D. Roose-
velts have spent in the White
House since his Inaugural

year they have enjoyed
their turkey with the patients
at Warm Springs Founda-

wise, because of the Presi-
dents recent illness, not to
make the trip this time.
With them today are their
son and daughter-in-law, Mr..

He came into the dining room,
looked quickly around, spied a
couple at a nearby table, the
lady wearing a wide brimmed
hat and quite interested in what
she was saying to her luncheon
companion, and called out loudly,
Hello, Sis"
The lady in the wide brimmed
hat waved him a greeting, gave
him a generous smile and went
on talking to-Joseph Alsop. The
lady was, of course, Alice Roose-

your normal weight, for your re-
quirements depend on weight and
activity.
How much should you weigh?
Women are allowed one and three
fourthS pounds for each inch of
height, as a minimum normal
weight, while men are allowed an
average of two and three-tenthS
pounds for each inch of height.
The next step is to multiply
your normal weight by the number
of calorieS you use per pound Of
weight.
1t has been found that with
very little exercise you use up
daily from IA to 16 calories per
pound of your weight; with light
exercise, from 16 to 18 calories,
and with fairly active exercises,
18 calories per pound.
But don't be overly optimistic
about the amount of exercise you
take. If you are overweight, your
activity is not equal to your appe-
tite. Modern housekeeping is
classified as light exercise, and Is
is the average factor for this type
activity.
Women office workers use only
from IA to I6 calories per pound
of body weight. This factor is, of
course, modified in accordance
with outside activity. The average
man office worker probably uses
16 calories per pound body weight.
The reason you take normal
weight rather than your present
weight as the basis for calculating
your requirements is that excess
fat is dead weight, not active It's
sue, and therefore uses few
calorieS.
Another extremely important
point is this: If you are consider
ably overweight, you must do bet
ter than observe your calorie
limits. Otherwise, you cannot
burn the stored calories-stored
as fat.
You see, you must live, in part,
off your own body fat, before the
scales can drop. 1t is safe to draw

In order to lose weight, you must
subtract, not add, calories. Calorie
mathematics is a bit difficult, so
we will take it step by step.
If you are overweight, you have
a calorie reserve which must be
burned, and a safe reducing diet
draws on these stored calorieS for
not more than one-third your
energy requirements.
1t is so foolish to believe that
any reducing diet-no matter what
will answer the purpose!
In calculating the number of
calorieS you need, first determine

BOWIE LEAVES
u. 5. SERVICE

Capt. William Bowie, interna-
tionaIly recognized as an au-
thority in the sciences Of geodeSy
and geophysics, has retired as
chief of the Division of Geodesy
of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, Department of Commerce. A
testimonial luncheon, attended by
members of his department and
other distinguished guests, was
rendered him at the Commerce
Department building.
Captain Bowie served the de-
partment for Al years and six
months, having entered the Serv-
ice as field engineer in 1895.
In January, 1909, he was made
assistant chief of the Division of
Geodesy, and in october OF the
same year was appointed chief OF
the division.
A graduate Of st. Johns Co..
lege, at Annapolis, Captain Bowie
received honorary degrees from
Trinity College, Lehigh Univer-
sity and the University of Edin-
burgh. During the World War
he served in the Corps Of En-
gineers, q. s. Army. with the
rank Of major.

on stored fat for one-third your
calories needs.
Hence two-thirds of your normal
calorie intake provides a safe and
sure reducing diet, which enables
you to lose surplus fat at the rate
of one to two pounds per week.
Since the reducing diet for the
woman of average normal weight
should contain 1900 calories per
day, the daily reducing menu is
balanced at that figure. Add or
subtract calories in accordance
with your needs.
The "Man-Size Reducing Menus"
are also kept at the average for
men, which is from 1,4O0 to 1900
calories per day. These you may
send for.
Calorie curtailment, together
with planned exercise, will gradu-
ally restore your weight to normal
and your silhouette to symmetry.

TO SEEK
NEWU. S.CASH

COLLEGE PARK, Md, April 8.
Apparently not satisfied with the
$1,17O,OO appropriated to the Uni
versity Of Maryland for building
contraction and improvement pur.
poses by the State legislature last
week, DR.. H. c. Byrd, university
president, yesterday announced his
intention of seeking additional
funds from the Government to
aid in carrying out various prof.
ects.
Under DR.. Byrd's plan, the con-
Struction projects are to be made
a part Of the PWA program and
will become subject to a As per cent
Federal grant, to match the
present funds. The Federal ap-
preparation, if the deal goes
through, will amount to 1926, 900
and will bring the total available
fund up to 81 $4,000. Byrd is ex-
pected to discuss the proposition
with Federal authorities today.
Principal projects in DR.. Byrd'S
program for the next two years
are purchases of farm lands for
agricultural experimental pur-
poses; building of two more
floors on the 100000 hospital
recently completed in Baltimore;
construction of a new 100000
home economics building and a
$150,00O engineering building;
remodeling of Princess Anne
Academy, colored branch of the
university on the Eastern Shore;
and building a new mems dormi-
tory at College Park.

lanes Roosevelt
Awarded Medal
By Brazil

The Presidents eldest son,
James Roosevelt, has moved one
step higher in his new military
career, it was learned today when
announcement came that he had
been awarded a decoration by
Brazil.
The Senate yesterday concurred
in a House amendment adding his
name to a list of military men
authorized to accept decorations
from foreign countries. No person
in the military service of this
country can accept foreign decora-
tons without the approval of Con-
greSS.
The Presidents son was made
Lieut.. Col. James Roosevelt,
Volunteer Marine Corps Reserve,
just prior to his departure With
his father on the South American
trip to the Buenos Aires peace
conference. The reason for which
the medal had been awarded,
could not be learned today, but it
is apparently in connection with
the trip. Officials explained the
decorations may be given as
recognition of achievement in
many lines or may be awarded
merely as a courtesy to visitors to
international conferences.
The bill which authorizes Lieut..
Col. Roosevelt's acceptance of the
decoration originated in the Sen
ate. On Tuesday it was sent to
the House and passed, but with
two amendments, one of which in
cluded the name of the Presi-
dents son.

CLEANUP
ORDERED

MOSCOW, April 9.-Dicta-
tor Joseph Stain, denouncing
widespread corruption throughout
the Soviet Union, last night asked
a sweeping "top-to-bottom" clean
up of all trade unions which he
said are controlled by racketeers,
criminals and bureaucratS.
Thousands Immediately feared
the order heralded nationwide
arrests and dismissals as the party
began to carry out Stains decree.
The move was merely the open
ing drive in a sweeping reorgani-
zation of the Communist party
and a long-delayed campaign to
winnow out counter-revolutionistS
in every Soviet organization. Stain
told the party's central committee
that the greatest shake-up since
the expulsion of Leon Trotzky in
1927 was imminent.
