Box Lunch

If you carry your lunch, you
will have to plan for meals that
are both appetizing and Slim
ming, but you really have every
thing your own way. Try TO
include a hot bouillon or clear
soup or A hot beverage with
measured amount of cream and
sugar-or none. Then for
change take along one-half pint
of buttermilk or skim milk.
For the rest of the meal, how
about a meat sandwich made
with mustard or a thin spread
of mayonnaise; some relishes-
celery, pickles and carrot sticks
wrapped in wax paper to keep
fresh-and a piece of fresh fruit.
This only totals about 400 cal
cries.
There's a much better meal
than couple of sandwiches and
a hunk of cake. YOU can reduce
on it, provided the other two
meals are on the same scale.
In Restaurant
If you eat in restaurants. a
few tricks in ordering will turn
the meals from fattening to
slimming. Three very good rules
are: no gravy, no mayonna,se,
and no dessert! Choose vege-
tables that are served plain
not fried, scalloped or creamed.
And order meats that are baked
or broiled. not fried.
When dessert comes with the
dinner you're apt to weaken and
eat il. 1t is easier to give up
dessert when you choose a menu
which does not include this
course.
If you ask me, the girl who
really has a problem in dieting
is the one who works in a res.
taurant or an institution where
meals are part of her salary
It's almost like taking a pay Gu
TO turn down food that is com
ing TO you.

Chief Justice Hughes 79 Today;
Prefers to Overlook Occasion
Jurist Is Conserving
His Strength for
Judicial Duties
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, whose vitality and keen
sense of humor belle his age, reached
his 10th birthday anniversary today.
The white-bearded jurist, who
has presided over the Supreme Court
for more than II years, preferred
to overlook the occasion. He told
newspapermen he had nothing to
say.
Apparently he still adheres to the
philosophy of a remark he made a
few years ago that he was going
along without reference to the cal
endar."
There has been speculation over
the possibility of the Chief Justice
retiring in June at the end Of this
term, but he has given no indica-
ton that he planned to do so. On
the contrary, friends have quoted
him as saying he intended to re-
main on the court as long as his
health permitted.
He appears to be in good health
and he has not missed day from
his court duties since the term
began last October. He enters the
Supreme Court chamber with a
firm stride, speaks forcefully when
necessary and keeps the business of
the tribunal moving with dispatch.
At times, too, he enlivens the
proceedings with flashes of humor
which surprise spectators who had
regarded his as stern and austere.
Even more than in the past, the
Chief Justice is conserving strength
for his judicial duties. 1t is sell
dom that he accepts social en-
gagements.
He has been extremely careful
with his diet since an illness two
years ago and exercises by taking
an early morning walk when
weather permits.
In addition to his judicial duties,
the Chief Justice follows world
events closely. He acquired an in
innate knowledge of international
affairs while serving as Secretary
of State in the Harding and Cool
idge administrations.
Appointed Chief Justice by Pres
ident Hoover in 1880, he has pre-
sided over the Supreme Court dur
ing perhaps the most turbulent
period of its history-climaxed by

ent, has requested that entry to the
park be made only through the gate

Most Reviled Man In Italy.
Because he put the party first,
Mussolini has become the most re-
viled man in the history of modern
Italy. The guards around the
Palazzo Venezia are counted today
not in hundreds but in thousands.
They stand sentry five, six and
seven blocks away from his execu-
tive Offices. Against his security
the most vicious threats are uttered
by men who served him blindly in
the past. About his private life the
most disgusting stories are circu-
lated by people who used to speak
of him with tears in their eyes.
And there is no doubt that today
he RACES with impotent fury against
a people that didn't want to live
like lions.
The only person in Italy who
understands him now is woman
half his age. She tells him. more
over, that he is still a relatively
young man. He has built her an
imposing three-story home on one
of the hills of Rome. He has in
stalled in 1t an escalator-quite
as good as any in an American
department store-which goes from
the ground to the third floor. In
addition to the guards he keeps for
her there is a motorcycle escort
which waits in the streets while
Mussolini is there. One of these
motorcycle policemen has just had
a brother killed in Albania.

Western Germany, but asserted the

by its membership. the C. I. o. In
ternational Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union has adopted
new constitution enlarging the
powers of its international officers
and extending its Jurisdiction over

jected motion to submit the con-
stitution to the members.
Harry Bridges, presiding, told the
delegates:
1--WE may not like what some OF
you are going to say, but we're going
to listen"
To the plea for referendum vote,
Eugene Patton, chairman of the
Constitutional Committee, replied:
Speed is essential.
We're now under attack by anti
labor legislation and we have an in
ternational president facing deporta-
tion-and he probably will be de-
ported. So we'd better get busy and
act"
The new constitution provides for
biennial instead of annual conven-
tionS, increasing the terms Of inter-
national officers to two years.
1t gives international officers
authority to proceed against officers
and members of local unions who
bring false charges, unfounded ac-
cusations or malicious attacks
against them" outside of union
meetings or publications, with pro-
vision for ousting convicted Of

stories of starvation in Spain and
France and a declara ton that un-
occupied France Is eager to take up
action against the axis when the
| States come in the war" were told
today by crewmen of the mercy
ship" Cold Harbor.
The Red Cross vessel - given a
tumultuous send-of when 1t sailed
to carry s1,000,000 worth of food,
clothing and medicine to the two
war-suffering countries returned
without fanfare to a heavily guarded
Pennsylvania Railroad pier here
after buffeting storms at sea and
once received a warning 1t might be
sunk.
Crew members who had sailed on
the Red Cross ship McKeesport to
Spain reported conditions are in
finitely worse now than three months
ago" with Germany and Italy
draining it SPAIN of all war vitals,
and the foremost of these is food"
Longshoremen who unloaded part
of the Cold Harbor's cargo at Cadiz,
they said, were so weak from hunger
they barely had strength to lift So
pound sacks of sugar" The Amer
leans said these men made 80 cents
day, that food sold very dearly, and
rationing was strict.
Nazis Get Best Food.
The crewmen also reported work.
ing people declared, "All our best
foods are moving into Germany;
that Is why we starve," and said
rank-and-file soldiers were sick OF
war and lack of freedom under
Franco"
They quoted soldiers as saying
"our only hope is for America to
come in and the war will be won,
and we shall be free again" Of
ficers, however, were said to be
strongly pro-aXis.
When the ship reached France,
schools were closed and a legal holi-
day declared in Marseille so "a
great demonstration" for the Amer
ican aid could be staged.
Frenchmen on the street, they
said, begged" for help to get out Of
France so they could fight the
axis" asking when will the States
come in the war? That will be
the signal for occupied France to
revolt. and we shall fight on and
be free again"
Ship Halted Twice.
Crewmen said the ship was twice
halted on the outbound trip. once
by an Italian trawler whose skipper
said the Cold Harbor was violating
rules governing blinking OF lights,
and might be sunk If she con-
tinued it.
The other time a British patrol
yacht sent two naval officers aboard
near Gibraltar to inspect papers, said
First Mate Carl Bentsen, New York.
Nine Spanish and French boys
we're found as stowaways Just before
the vessel sailed from Marseille, he
added, and three men tried to ship

LONDON, April 11-Coventry and
Birmingham were among the places
attacked by German bombers last

ernment acknowledge had caused
considerable damage and probably
heavy casualties.

caused in Coventry. The number of
dead and injured still was unknown
at midday today, but several shelters
received direct hits and numerous
persons were trapped.
Following the usual blitz pattern
the Na8is dropped hundreds of in
cendiary bombs, which caused nu-
merous fires. Most of these were
under control, however, in a few
hours.
Among the places destroyed or set
af1re were the police station, post
office and an institution.
A number of persons also were be-
heved trapped in the ruins of build
