taking 2,400 calories a day, drop
down to 1,400, to lose the l12
pounds per week.
You don't have to accept any
body's reducing diet. You can
plan your menu to suit yourself
by following the basic principles
Of nutrition. However, when you
subtract calories from your diet,
make sure that you do not also
subtract protein, minerals and
vitamins.
Body fat represents stored
calories. but the protective ele-
ments cannot be stored and must
be supplied daily.
The reducing diet should be
built around the protective ele-
ments. Whether or not you are re-
ducing, you need fixed amount
of protein, the minimum being 10
per cent of your normal number
of calorieS. This amount is sup
piled in a liberal serving of lean
meat, one to two eggs, one or two
glasses of skinned milk or but
termilk, together with the small
amount of protein furnished in
other foods.
If you include in the menu a
liberal amount of fresh fruits and
vegetables, small amount of but
ter Zone and one-half pats one to
two glasses of milk, and two or
three slices of whole grain bread,
you will get your minerals and vita
minis. These foods also supply the
necessary bulk for safety and elm
ination.
The carbohydrate content Of the
reducing diet must be quite limited
if you are to lose weight, yet it
must be high enough to maintain
the nitrogen equilibrium and to
burn body fat. The old saying
that "fat burns in a fire of car
bohydrateS" must not be taken
too literally by the reducer. A
balanced diet, as outlined above,
includes all the carbohydrates
Sugars and starches) needed.
Fat is the one foodstuff in the
menu that can be very low. In
fact, the purpose of the reducing
diet is to give very little fat in
order that you may use UP your
own fatty tissue.
Never be tempted to go on lop-
sided reducing diet, for a menu
lacking in any one of the pro-
tective elements eventually results
in weakness, anemia, lowered re-
Sistance to colds, disturbances of
the digestive tract. and constipa-
ton.

this effect between the powers
concerned.
But at the same time Ger
many desires to recall that when
the government Of the reich
some months ago requested a
similar initiative, they were con-
fronted by a British and French
attitude which was hardly en-
couraging for placing confidence
in new collective agreements in
this sphere.
SOLIDARITY LACKING
although at that time, after
serious attacks upon the Ger
man warship, Deutschland, q
binding agreement had been
reached about the treatment Of
such questions, nevertheless the
British and French governments,
after an attack upon the Ger.
man cruiser, Leipzig, which fol-
lowed shortly afterward, could
not agree to show a maximum
of solidarity with the German
government.
Germany therefore can place
little confidence in the success
of further collective agreements.
I'm determining Germany's
attitude, the further fact cannot
be disregarded that the Soviet
government saw fit to raise with
regard to certain incidents in
the Mediterranean improved
accusations against the italian
government and make far
reaching demands.
"The German government
agrees with the Italian govern
ment that the latter could not
be asked to participate in spe-
cial conference as planned as
loag as the incident caused by
the Soviet note has not found
satisfactory settlement.
DENIES IT SEEKS DELAY
Despite all these serious cir
cumstanceS, the German gov
ernment does not wish to delay
any attempt to contribute to
joint deliberation Of alleviation
of the situation. The German
government therefore suggests
in concert with the Italian gov
ernment that instead of a spe-
cial conference, the London non.
Intervention committee should
be entrusted with the affair.
1.-THE committees sphere Of
work is closely connected with
this question and its organiza-
ton offers an opportunity, with
goodwill on all sides, to reach q
rapid settlement.
deliberations Of the London
committee would at the same
time have the advantage that
powers other than those invited
by Britain and France which
are interested in the matter, for
example Portugal and Poland,
might take part"

MRS, FELLOWES'
YACHT FIRED ON

PARIS, Sept. 9 G.N.sJ.-The
Sister Anne, palatial yacht of
Mrs. Reginald Ailwyn FelloweS,
was fired upon recently by a
Greek warship off the island Of
Aegina, 20 miles south of Athens,
it was revealed mere today.
Mrs. Fellowes and a party Of
guests narrowly escaped injury or
death when the warship fired at
the craft, according to accounts
received in Paris. One bullet mar
rowly missed the Count of Casteja,
son of the Countess of CaSteja,
the former Katherine Garrison of
New York.
Greek authorities, it was re-
ported, claimed the yacht entered
a military zone, and for this
reason drew the warship's fire.
The captain of the Sister Anne,
who was placed in Jail, declared
the military zone had not been
marked on his navigation chart.
He was released the following
morning and the party was per
mitted to proceed. Mrs. Fellows
and her guests are in Venice.

GAINS CLAIMED
in NORTH SPAIN
BY INSURGENTS
City Taken by Refugees,
Officials Driven Out

ST. JEAN DE LUZ, France.
Sept. 9 GN.SJ.-while insurgent
troops advanced on the ASturiaS
front, reports reached here today
that extremists have taken control
of Gijon, last remaining loyalist
stronghold on the Biscay coast.
The advices said refugees from
the fallen loyalist city Of San
tander caused the greatest dis
orders, forcing Gijon police to flee
to the mountains for their lives.
CITY CAPTURED
Meanwhile, advices from Llanes,
halfway between Santander and
Gijon, said the advancing insur-
gents occupied Posada, eight miles
from Ribadesella.
At the same time three squad
rons Of insurgent planes flew over
Gijon and dropped pamphlets
warning the city's defenders not
to permit their leaders to escape.
In similar fashion, residents Of
Santander were warned that 10
loyalist militiamen would be shot
for every insurgent prisoner re-
ported executed by the govern.
ment authorities.
HEAVY FIGHTING
The insurgent advance through
the mountains was registered in
the face of stubborn loyalist re-
sistance, according to reports here.
The main fighting was being
waged all along the northern
front, with the insurgents press
ing hard all along the line and
the loyalists unleaShing fierce
counter-attacks.
Advices from Madrid claimed
1000 insurgents had been slain.
LoyaliSt claims stated Govern
ment planes repulsed insurgent
aircraft which attempted to bomb
Gijon.
Earlier, insurgent planes shot
down a French commercial plane
Of the Air Pyrennes line near
Gijon. The French craft was
brought down in a hail of ma
chine gun bullets and the lone
pilot, Abel Guidez, was burned to
death. He had taken off a few
hours previously from Biarrttz,
France.

LONDON, Sept. 9 (IN.s).
Twenty.six million men under
arms.
Eight thousand death-dealing
airplanes streaking through the
skies.
Countless thousands of tanks
and armored cars.
Small but highly effective fleets
Of battleships, cruisers and de-
stroyers.
This is a conservative picture
Of the panorama Of war that
would be thrown across a shud-
dering European stage, should
the acute dispute between Ger
many and Italy against Soviet
Russia, resolve itself into actual
hostilities.
MANY POTENTIAL SOLDIERS
Desperate efforts of British and
French statesmen today to prevent
the grave Mediterranean crisis
from flaring into open warfare
are traceable directly to the un-
happy knowledge that all three
nations are armed to the teeth.
Numerically, Soviet Russia would
outnumber Germany and Italy
combined.
She has, at the moment, a
trained army of almost two million
men and reserves made up Of al
most one-tenth of her entire popu-
lation to make a staggering total
of Is million potential soldiers.
Nazi Germany, with Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's conscription decree
drawing new thousands into the
ranks monthly, has a standing
army Of 100000 men and reserves
of close to two million.
RESERVES AVAILABLE
Italy, standing on a full war
footing since the Ethiopian cam.
paign boasts a standing army Of
nearly million.
