BRIDGES LINK
SAN FRANCISCO TO NATION

Yesterday I stood atop Colt
Tower, which shafts its way up
ward 185 feet above the crest of
Telegraph Hill, and L looked out
over the wide expanse of San
Francisco Bay, fenced in by its
fourteen hills. From Colt Tower
one obtains possibly the best long
range view of San F'rancisco's s
metropolitan area. Telegraph Hill
is 286 feet above the city and it
was from this point that clipper
ships were sighted in the early
'40s and news of their arrival re-
layed to the city below. The tow
er was the bequest to the city of
Lily Hitchcock Colt, picturesque
belle of the SOS, whose hobby was
going to fires. She was honorary
member of the fire department,
wore her medal on all her evening
gowns and left many fashionable
gathering to go to a fire. She
dearly loved San Francisco and
willed a third of her fortune for
the towers construction.
AS 1 looked out over San Fran
cisco Bay, being a highway engin-
eer, my interest was first of all
consumed by the traffic distribu-
tion system of the worlds longest
bridge, the San Francisco-Oaklan
Bay bridge, which carries $4,000
persons to and from work in San
Francisco each day. 1 knew, as l
gazed upon thisc wonder bridge,
that I was witnessing the end of
the isolation of city, brought
about by the construction of an
elevated highway between San
Francisco and the mainland. l
was watching the tremendous flow
of traffic that had been kept out
of San Francisco prior to 1897 by
five miles of water. 1 was wit
Messing the actual process of new
life and new money being poured
into an already great city. A few
days ago I was presented with a
set of figures that estimate 10
to 20 per cent increase in gasoline
consumption by delivery trucks
since the additional traffic from
the Bay bridge and the Golden
Gate bridge "came to town"

REORGANIZATION BILL@The
Cochran Warren Governmental
Reorganization Bill was passed by
the House by a vote of 246 to 153.
Under this legislation the Presi-
dent is given the power to reor-
ganize a large proportion of the
executive departments. This pow
er, however, is subject to veto by
Congress. The bill has been sent
to the Senate where it will con-
tend with a reorganization bill in
troduced by Senator Byrd of Vir-
ginia. This measure would give
less authority to the President.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Overweight is not associated al
ways with good health, but may be
a definite symptom of disease.
Overweight is often found along
with diabetes, heart disease, kid
ney disorders, high blood pressure,
and gall bladder conditions. The
overweight person is severely
handicapped in pneumonia or in
many surgical operations. Life in
surance companies have been in
creasingly reluctant to insure mid
die aged people who are over
weight because they know that
these people usually die much
younger than people of normal
weight.
No person can gain in flesh un-
less the caloric energy supplied in
his food is greater than the caloric
energy which he is using in his
daily activities. However, it is
true that the amount of energy
which one person uses daily may
vary greatly from the amount
which another person uses. The
type of work which a person does
affects the amount of energy
which he burns. A woodsman
chopping trees all day would need
much more food to supply calories
than his wife who stays at home
and sews. Likewise, a tall, big
boned person would require more
calories to climb the same fight
of stairs than would tiny per-
son.
Glanddular secretions greatly af-
feet the amount of energy requir-
ed. A higher glandular secretion
than normal may cause a wasteful
burning of energy leaving the per-
son emaciated. Likewise, too lit
tie secretion may cause more eff
f1cient use of energy so that few
calories are needed for daily activ-
tiles and there is large surplus
to be deposited as fat. There are
many preparations on the market
which contain these glandular ex-
tracts and which are advertised as
cure for overweight. No one
should take these without the close
supervision of a qualified physician
since any quantity of them may
actually cause severe illness.
Any strenuous and prolonged
effort to lose weight by dieting
should be under a physicians di-
rection. A thorough physical ex-
animation will help him to discov-
er if there are any indications for
glandular administration or if
there is any tendency to such a
disease as tuberculosis which may
be aggravated by a sudden loss in
weight.
A person on a reducing diet is
like a man with a family to sup
port and little money with which
to do it. Everything which he
buys must be what is needed if he
is to take good care of his family.
In the same way a person with
a limited amount of food must be
doubly sure that that food is of the
best quality. Much i'll health is
undoubtedly due to foolish efforts
to diet.
Plenty of green vegetables, fresh
fruits, milk, eggs, and meat are
the best possible insurance against
any i'll effects of reducing diet.
These can be combined to make
thre attractive and substantial
meals each day so that a person on
such a diet feels no actual discom-
fort except the need for controlling
excessive appetite.

Something we cont understand is why people speak O
automobile trips through this part Of the country as "tresome.'
And we have heard two or three people refer to journeys into
vaious ports OF Montana and Wyoming in just that woy.
There ore so many things TO see and so many things to
look for thot q ride Of a couple hundred miles doesn't need to
be dull at all.
One Of the things we like best is the mountains in the dis
tonce. They ore so chongeoble and SO interesting thot they
seem to tuke on personality and become our friends. Some
times we hove to strain our eyes to see them, grey shaped IN
q grey mist. Other times they ore covered with blue huze.
with veins OF snow running down their sides. und then again
they come close. SO that it seems almost as if We con reach
out Of the cor window and touch them. They ore the grand
est-ond the most forbidding-when the storm clouds gother
about their heads while the valley is still bdsking in sunshine.

There are the j~ockrabbits and the pheosGnts-brigh males
or duler femoes-thot show up where you least expect them.
or along the side OF the road q bull snake suns himself and
looks very satisfied with the world.
We don't think there is anything so charming as five or
six whitetoce calves in q green field, unless it is q buGkskin
mare with q matching fool guloping beside her. Horses
against q hill top often ore grouped gracefully.
And then there ore the ~trees-willows. golden or show

maybe just one pine beside q rock, reminiscent OF q japanese
print.
People along the woy catch the eye too. There ore the
sheepherders beside their wagons, with q collie alongside.

lined mountain stream. olwuys lovely, always changing. Or
there ore the bigger rivers, placid and lined with trees.
Maybe we look back at q ranch house set on q knoll
where the front windows con face the mountains and think
what q pleasant place that living room must be. Perhaps we
wish for color film in our cdmerd to catch just the shade OF q
lonely flower. Sometimes q red rock emerging from q green
field makes us catch our breath.
Here there is color, form and life. Every way we turn we
