You cannot assess the Japanese
army numerically.
Japanese officers have often pro-
tested to me with a smile that the
japanese soldier is not a whit su-
perior mentally. morally or phySi-
cally to the soldier of the West. Yet
they insist that he is. in fact, "a
better soldier" because. unlike 9TH
er soldiers. he courts death as his
greatest honor, writes Willard Price
in the London Spectator.
The training of men who will go
to their doom with the answering
directness of robots is a weird and
unworldly process.
1t begins 1000 years before the
soldier is born. Bushido has taught
the japanese race to thinE well Of
itself, and the Japanese t=sdividual
to regard himself as nothing but
the dirt to be ground under the
chariot wheels of the progress of
his race. The One must give him
self for the All.
What better racial tradition could
there be for the making of die-easy
soldiers?
Active military training begins at
the age of six. Boys in the first
year of primary school are taught
to marcn, drill, do the goose-step.

If Your Weight Is Normal
Keep It That Way

1t has been determined that the
ideal weight-that is the weight
that best promotes health and
longevity-after thirty, is the nor
NAL weight for ones height at the
age of thirty.
If you are approximately thirty
and your weight is normal, you
should send for my Calorie Chart
and Reducing Bulletin and use it
to help maintain your present
weight!
If you are over thirty and over
weight, you should not lose an
other day before sending for the
bulletin so that you can begin at
once to regain your normal weight
by the safe, simple, scientific and
comfortable method of counting
calories.
As the pounds disappear you
will feel as though you had
stepped out of a prison of fat into
a new world of physical freedom.

He turned to Eulalia, who was
standing quietly beside her husband,
her eyes on Dagelet.
And, to you ma Refine de Cali
fornie. my respects for your forti-
tude and loyalty in being such a
wonderful woman in the midst of
such a remote country"
Eulalia's lips moved, but her re-
marks were inaudible as the Count
kissed her hand. There were other
fareWells, then the Governor, fol-
lowed by his soldiers and Indian
bearers, his wife on one hand and
his son at the other, moved away
from the camp on the beach.
AS they rode the Governor and his
wife were each very silent, busy
with their own thoughts. Young Pc
dro prattled beside them.
The Count had given him silver
medal which had been struck of
by the French Government to com
memorate the great expedition of
La Perouse around the world. On
one side was an effigy of Louis XVI,
and on the other two olive branches
tied with a ribbon. and a scroll
which read:

The child rapturously polished the
bright coin on his jacket. and asked
his mother to translate it for him.
She did, lifelessly.
The Governor sighed and spoke.
"At dawn, on the tide. they sail
for all the seven seas. And l." he
chuckled suddenly, II will escort

Don't Diet Without Direction

A carefully regulated diet will
not only maintain normal weight,
but will Danish overweight by
forcing the body to burn its own
excess fat as fuel. Having heard
of this scientific principle, many
women frantically and foolishly
attempt to prescribe their own re-
ducing diets often with dis
astrous results.
There is always the possibility
that one may omit calcium-bear-
ing foods and thus impair the
teeth, or leave out foods rich in
iron and copper and interfere
with the formation of the hemo-
globin or red pigment in the blood.
One of the most common and
most serious errors is to omit all
bread, potatoes and cereals, in the
belief that carbohydrates are "fat-
tening foods" Carbohydrates are
required by the body in order to
utilize the fats in the diet, and
when reducing, they are also nee
esSary to burn up excess fatty
tissue.
Just as fire cannot burn without
air, fat cannot be utilized in the
body without the presence of
starch or sugar. When the diet
contains insufficient carbohy
drates, fat burns incompletely, re-
sulting in the dangerous acetone
type of acidosiS.

"And it will be something for me

And now" replied the Governor
with a slight formality which he as
sumed to cover his real feelings,

French put it, adieu!"

in appearance is this son of a Cornell
University professor, as no movie en-
thusiast needs to be told. But what he
has in the way of a too-prominent
Adams apple and too-plain set OF
features he makes up for in an abil-
ity to act.
All of which seems to merit mention
at the moment because the bitter, be-
wildered, what = is it all about Mr..
Tone is on the verge Of returning to
his first love, the stage. There have
been rumors of it for many months,
each of them cancelled by another
rumor that Mr.. Tone, after all, was
going to remain for while longer as
an employe of Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer.
Now 1t seems to be definite that Mr..
Tone is returning to the legitimate
theater. Come December, unless there
is an unindicated shift in plans, the
Group Theater in New York will be
starring him in new play destined
for Broadway opening. Before that,
by way of winding up his affairs in
Hollywood, Mr.. Tone will do one more
picture In it, playing opposite Fran
ciska Gaal, he will essay last comedy
role, an inevitability in view Of his
success in his last lighter part in
Three Loves Has Nancy"
That chore done, Tone will come
East to undertake his Group Theater
assignment, one that will be more in
keeping with his temperament than
those recent comedy parts which,
temporarily at least, have wound up
his cinema career.
incidentally, the Group Theater Is
scanning Hollywood these days for
another player. some beautiful and
bland person who can do as well for it
as did Frances Farmer last year when
she took over the part of the girl in
Clifford Odets' Golden Boy" 1t is
getting rather forlorn about not find
ing her. Frances Farmers seem to be
scarce.
Jascha Heifetz seems to be just the
violinist for whom Hollywood has been
looking In the course Of making his
first picture, THE Restless Age" Mr..
Heifetz has demonstrated that he is
more than violinist, actor. and expert
ping pong player. That he also can
compose with ease and dispatch was
proved recently when the Sam Gold
wyn organization came face to face
with the impressive fact that an ac-
compartment for Heifetz was copy
righted by Fritz Kreisler. The studio
production group was completely non-
plussed, but not so Mr.. Heifetz.
While the others sat around tearing
their hair, or otherwise indicating
great emotional disturbance, the vio-
linist asked for few minutes respite.
Granted it, he went to his dressing
room, sat down at his piano, and in a
short time returned with an accom-
paniment that was within the copy
right laws.
1t is his first original composition
for the piano, and so far as the Gold
wyn organization is concerned. it al
ways will be his most important one.
