Sponsors of Crop Control
Ready to Push Bill Before
Chairman's Return.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Sponsors Of crop-control legislation,
seeking its quick enactment at the
special session of Congress, noted these
developments today:
l. Impatient members Of the SEN
ate Agricultural Committee said they
would try to assemble the group to be-
gin work on bill Immediately, with
out awaiting the return Of Chairman
Smith.
2. Wheat belt representatives said
they would ask the House Agriculture
Committee to include in its bill
guarantee OF a wheat price that would
at least meet production costs.
3. Informed persons said the ad-
ministration is considering separating
the crop-control bill and the revenue
measure which would finance it.
4. A new estimate of the 1897 corn
crop was due at pm. Some officials
said an increased estimate might add
to demands for compulsory control of
next years production.
Agitation in the Senate Committee
Tor immediate attention to farm leg
lslation came from Senators Pope.
Democrat, Of Idaho and McGill. DEM
ocrat, of Kansas, authors of a bill en-
bodying the "ever-normal granary"
proposal of Secretary Wallace. They
said they would meet tomorrow with
other Senators interested in the meas
ure.
Chairman Smiths Office said he
would not return until Sunday. He
has expressed doubt as to the posi-
bility of having bill ready when the
Senate meets next Monday.
The House committee is farther
along, but has not agreed on a final
draft. Representative Burdick said
he and his Republican colleagues from
North Dakota, Senator Frazier and
Representative Lemke, along with most
of the Wisconsin and Minnesota con-
gressional delegations, would ask it
to insert the wheat price guarantee
provision.
The problem of financing the farm
program was discussed yesterday by
President Roosevelt and administra-
tion leaders, who. it was reported,
touched on the possibility of separat-
ing the money-raising bill from the
crop-control measure.
The House committee has suggested
paying for the program by processing
taxes, but some Senators have opposed
this idea.

In commenting on the report, Chair

conditions "deplorable. He said Gov

would fail unless interunion friction
is reduced, crew efficiency is increased
and discipline is restored.
The tone of the report was gloomy.

eral billions spent on ship construction
and subsidies in the last 20 years had
been spent "in vain" 1t declared that
today 1--WE have left the form and not

u. S. Policy Called Vague.
A vague and inconsistent" national
policy was blamed for the fact that
the merchant fleet is largely obsoles-
cent so that fresh millions must be
spent in building new ships if the ends
of foreign trade and national defense
are to be served.
DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, vice president
OF Georgetown University, said last
night the Maritime Commissions eco
nomic survey charts constructive
course for the future"
He said that "it is an official answer
under Government auspices, to certain
fallacious arguments advanced in re-
cent years, even in Government cir
cles, by now discredited school O.
thought which minimized the impor
tance of strong, dependable merchan
marine in balanced economy.
But 1t is likewise fair warning Il
the industry as whole that shil
operators must put their house il

The above are
simple statements and known to
most overweights, but as they come
from Prof. Sanford Blum in his
book Practical Dietetics in Health
and Disease, they carry the weight
of one Of our greatest authorities on
food and diet.
There can be no cast iron rules on
reducing weight, that is rules that
will fit every case, nevertheless the
main idea that food must be reduced
is the ideal or motto that should
be adopted by every overweight who
is in earnest about getting rid of
his surplus fat.
Naturally, it is at once realized
that big framed Individual doing
hard work outdoors is going to need
more food than an understood one
who works sitting down indoors.
When to Reduce Diet.
Likewise it is mere sensible To-
reduce the diet of an individual who
regularly overeats than that Of one
who is small eater, because there
is limit beyond which it is unsafe
to further reduce the food intake.
1t seems simple enough to outline
diet containing definite number
OF calories or heat units, which be-
ing less than is being eaten at pres
ent, should, therefore, reduce the
weight in proportion. Unfortunately
no one knows just what will happen
to certain foodstuffs in every indi-
vidual because each body handles
foodstuffs in its own individual way.
1t is not then the amount eaten but
the amount the body uses that is
important.
Principles OF Treatment.
DR.. Blum tells us that certain gen
eral principles are noteworthy in
the treatment of obesity lover
weight.
|. Overweight may be combat
ted by reducing the amount of food
below the level required to main
Ldlll DOAy HCiElli.
2. Certain kinds of food have
greater calorie Cheat or fuel) value
than others. Alcohol, fats, carbo-
hydrates-starch foods such as po-
tatoes, bread, sugar-are .fatten-
ing foods. They have high caloric
values and in laying out the diet
for overweight the quantities of such
foods should be limited or reduced
in amount.
B. Some kinds of food have small
caloric values. Such foods are green
vegetables. fibrous vegetables-cel-
cry, cabbage, caulif1ower-fruits,
lean meats. They may be taken in
larger quantities by overweights.
4. Some varieties of food, while
not directly apt to put on weight,
stimulate the digestive glands and
increase the appetite. Such foods
include highly seasoned, spiced, and
preserved foods. They should be
avoided entirely by overweights.
s. Some foods are indigestible and
should, therefore, be avoided.
In conjunction with the diet or
food treatment of overweight other
measures may be employed, for ex-
ample purgation Epson salts and
other purgatives), massage Ca
method used for athletes and movie
stars). increased amount OF exer-
else. and hot, steam, Turkish, cleo
trio light, and other kinds of baths.
But in general. the best results will
be obtained by sticking closely to
the food regulations outlined above.
