TAKE MEASUREMENTS
The only way to keep interested
is to take measurements before
starting reducing campaign.
Measure the ankle and the calf OF
the leg; makes a note of the figures
If you can sniff off half an inch,
you'll continue the good work with
high courage.
Play hop scotch. Pull up your
chest, pull in your tummy, extend
your arms out on a level with the
shoulders to provide balance, then
hop on one foot until muscles howl
for rest. Skip along on the other
foot. You are not to do this eXer-
else with pedals encased in high
heeled shoes. You are to do it when
your FOOTE'S are bare.
The purpose is to tighten and
strengthen musculature. When fib-
erS are strong they fight the fat
cells, give them such licking
they'll go off and die.

Cry Associated Pressl

Cry Associated Pressb
WASHINGTON. April H.
American troops and workmen
will be sent to Greenland at
once to begin construction of air
and naval bases on the island
which President Roosevelt yes
terdaY placed under the protec-
ton of the United States.
War department engineers to-
day are working at top speed to
complete plans for the American
bases, and government spokes-
men said there will be no delay
in moving men to Greenland.
Congressional reaction to the
Presidents sudden move has been
largely favorable, although isola-
zionist leaders so far have refus-
ed to make any comment.
Administration leaders in con-
greSS have pointed out that the
United States can benefit from
use of Greenland in any of sew
eral ways.
Most obviously, it will push
naval defenSeS far out into the
Atlantic, or landing fields in
Greenland will make it possible
for fighter planes to fly from the
United States to Great Britain
in two jumps.
Without the cruising range to
make the trip nonstop, as do
the heavy bombers, the fighters
now must be dismantled and
shipped across the Atlantic. Using
Greenland for refueling they
could fly across the ocean cas-
lily.
Some congressman, who have
feared the United States will
use naval vessels to convey Brit
ish ships, say the navy now will
convoy merchantmen as far as
Greenland.

MILITARY HIGHWAY,
MEXICO TO PANAMA

MEXICO TO PANAMA
THE PRESIDENT has asked con-
gress for 5000, 900 for the purpose
of building a military highway from
the southern boundary Of Mexico to
the Panama canal. OF course it is
intended as a defense measure.
A year ago, young man called
on me, saying he and his wife were
planning an automobile trip from
the northern border Of Mexico
through to Colombia. For the past
three months they have been at
tempting that trip and have pro-
crossed as far as southern Mica
ragua. Following such trails, and
an occasional short piece of road,
as can be found, they report prog
ress ranging from one-half to seven
miles day for the days they at
tempt to travel through the Central
American jungles.
They may be able to get through
to the Canal after another three or
four months, but it is doubtful if
they can 60 from there to the Colon
bian border.
That is the country of the San Bias
Indians and few white men have
ever penetrated it for any distance.
The Indians do not take kindly to
the whites.
An acquaintance of some years
ago, Captain Fitzmorris, an English
soldier of fortune, was one of the
few white men acceptable to the
San Bias Indians. He had been
made a blood member of the tribe
and lived with them for a number
of years following the close of the
last World war.
Fitzmorris fought for England
when his native country was at war,
big or little, in any part of the
world. If it was not at war, he
hunted up wars in other countries if
possible. When he could not find
one in which he could participate,
he would 60 to the San Bias coun-
try and live with the Indians. He
wore the Victoria cross, with two
bars, earned, of course, in the serv-
ice Of England.
It is what l learned from Captain
Fitzmorris of the San Bias country
that causes me to question the abil-
ity of the intrepid young couple to
make their way through it to the
Colombian border.

GOVERNMENT ALSO DUBIOUS
IF BY EXECUTIVE ORDER

WE FEEL bit sorry for the peo-
pie Of any nation from which comes
an announcement of government
by Decree" We think of it as an
other country moving toward a die
tatorship, another people losing their
liberties. We thank God we are not
in that boat.
There is not much difference be-
tween government by decree" and
government by executive order. !"
A violation of an executive order
can send one to jail as quickly and
certainly as a violation of decree,
and to a considerable extent, we
Americans are governed by "execu-
tive orders"
President Roosevelt or, with his
authority, the heads of well over
100 departments or bureaus, have
issued executive orders" on an av-
erage Of much more than one each
day for more than the past eight
years. The vast majority Of Ameri-
can citizens know nothing Of what
these orders are. They are not de-
bated in congress. They are seldom
reported in the newspapers. Law
yers cannot keep up with them. They
are laws that cannot be found in
the law books. They cover as many
subjects as there are executive or
ders."
For example: Should any retail
grocery man sell as much as 100
pounds Of sugar to any one customer
and fail to report that sale, with the
name OF the customer, to the secre-
tary of the treasury, he can be sent
to Jail and heavily fined for viola
ton of an executive order. Gro
Gerry men, entirely ignorant of such
q law, have paid fines and served
terms in Jail for violation Of that
order.
If government by decree" Is a
stepping stone to dictatorship, what
is government by executive or
DER?
