UninteIIigen+ Dieting Is Sure
Road TO Bad Health
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

THE GIRL sitting beside me
al railway lunch counter or
dered fruit juice and black coffee
for her noon meal. And. while
IL was none Of my business. I
couldn't help asking. Are you
on a diet?"
Yes" she said with obvious
pride. I've been on il for three
months"
Nothing but fruit juice and
black coffee for three months ,
l asked with an incredulity she
interpreted as admiration.
That's all II was hard az
first. but now everything tastes
like sawdust and it's easy. I've
lost 81 pounds. .
Another Case
There came into my mind the
story Of another girl who had
gone on just such a diet and /
told my new acquaintance about
her. She amazed every one with
both her fortitude in sticking to
starvation rations and the ra-
pidity with which she took off
the pounds.
But when she wanted TO check
her weight loss. she couldn't.
Finally she looked like a bag of
bones and wa so sensitive about
her emaciated appearance that
she didn't 20 out Of the house
for several years. She never re-
covered either her looks or her
health.
Before I parted with my
lunch counter friend, she had
been sufficiently impressed with
my sincerity to promise that she
would start eating sensibly
again before IL was too late. and
she purchased a vitamin con-
centrate to help overcome the
avtaminosis twhen food tastes

LEFT OF COLLAPSED
 TACOMA SPAN
Engineers Report Bridge Must Be Torn Down 10
 Determine Cause

OLYMPIA. Wash, March 10.-- Towers, cables and approaches, the only parts of the Tacoma Narrows bridge left standing after the span disintegrated and plunged into Puget Sound last Novmeber, twisted and sheared beyond further use, must be dismantled if the structure is to be rebuilt, the Governors office re- ported today.
 The report is based on the find ings of a special board appointed by the State Toll Bridge Authority which minutely examined the wreck ed span to determine the cause of the collapse, and to estimate the cost if rebuilt exactly as it stood before the collapse.
 The board, composed of three prominent engineers, reported the net restoration cost of the bridge at S4, ,473,000 but said that an explana- ton for the collapse could not be made until what remains of the structure has been torn down and studied. s# ge 9&

up. It's-I was going to say child ish,' but that's hardly the word for it. It's an absolute shame to bury the bill in this manner" Cochran arose to say: T don't believe there is any frameup such as Senator Brownell indicates there is. If there is such a frameup, l don't know about it. For myself, I am prepared to vote on this bill at this time. I venture to say Sen- ator Walker doesn't know any more about this bill or even about his amendments than I do. This in- crimination and recrimination is entirely out of order"
 Roden Critical President Roden then asked per- mission to make a statement. He stood at his desk on the rostrum and said:
 Gentlemen, I do believe the bill is entitled to more considera- tion than it has been given. It is "a fact that large proportion of the people of this Territory are for this bill or something similar. It is also certain large proportion are against this bill and all it stands for, but all of our people are vital ly and deeply interested in this bill. It is a matter of common cour- tesy, l would Say, for us to give the bill consideration on the floor of the Senate.
 Brownel then asked Cochran if he had read over all the amend ments Brownell proposed. Coch- ran said he had, and Brownell re- piled he believed it a physical im- possibility for anyone to read and understand the proposed amend ments in the few minutes they had been on Cochran's desk. Cochran said he knew what they were and had, as matter of fact, heard most of them exactly a week ago.
 Walker then lifted a sheaf of typewriter amendments from his desk and asked Cochran if he had read them also
 Final Roll Call
 With several Senators by this time calling question: roll was called on whether the bill should be placed on final passage Only Brownell and Roden voted against, with Walker again giving notice to reconsider his vote, but he was ruled out of order by the chair.
 Walker then asked to be given permission to change his vote to no as he had so voted only for the purpose of supporting the bill and keeping it alive. Coffey ob- jected, but Roden said that since the vote had not been announced, Walker had the right to change his vote, which he did.
 Then the vote on final passage of Senate Bill No. 10 was taken, with BroWnell, Walker and Roden voting yes and Coffey, Cochran, Sullivan, LaBoyteaux and Nordale voting no.
 Roden announced the bill had been defeated by the Senate.

COCHRAN HITS UNEMPLOYMENT
 CONFIRMATION
Vicious and Unlonsfiiu. tiondI, Declares Senator
 Bill in Suspense

The principle of unemployment compensation was damned in the Alaska Senate today as vicious and unjust by Democratic Senator O. D. Cochran of Nome
 The bill which Cochran attacked, one by Rep. Harvey Smith extending unemployment compensation re- quirements to all employers of one or more persons, was defeated a few moments later by vote of four to four, though this afternoon the bill was revived by the very unusual action of resembling the earlier &C., ton on the bill
 Cochran declared that under the principle of "so-called unemploy- ment compensation. an employer without moral or legal obligation" has to pay to support other persons, whether they are his former en- ployees or not.
 Disagree with Supreme Court
 What due process of law" Coch- ran shouted, permits the Govern ment to take the property of one man and give it to someone else'
 The principle of unemployment compensation, Cochran said, is "vic- ious and wrong, decisions of the United States Supreme Court not withstanding
 That may be the spirit of the times" Cochran said, but it's un- reasonable. We're not living yet in a Nazi country. We're living in a country that recognizes the rights of property"
 Efforts of Senator Norman R.. Walker to amend the bill by making it apply to employers of four or more persons were defeated by four to-four as was a motion to amend it to read three or more. A five-to- three vote defeated an amendment by Senator Leroy Sullivan to strike the whole section dealing with the laws application.
 Then the bill was advanced to final passage under suspension of the rules and defeated four to- four, with Senators Cochran, Sullivan
 and LaBoyteaux voting against.
 Acticn Rescinded
 At the beginning of the after noon session. Senator Edward Cof- fey moved to rescind the action of the Senate with relation to House Bill No 2. President Henry Roden, remarking that the proce- dure was unusual. entertained the motion anyway, and it passed five to-three, with Walker leaving the others who had killed the bill in the morning.
 By a vote of seven to one the bill was continued in second read ing until tomorrow.
 The Senate amended Rep. Amer J. Petersons bill pertaining to the judgment creditors exemption from attachment, by adopting a Coch- ran proposal to make a married mans entire earnings of the pre- vious month exempt. The original bill exempted only $10O of earn ings, which Senators argued was not enough in Alaska.
 The Senate adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow. f.es s.es

Southern States Group
Meets At Georgetown

The annual patrons meeting of
the Southern States Cooperative,
owned and controlled by more than
100000 farmers in five states along
the Atlantic seaboard, was held on
Wednesday night in the Jones'
Memorial Hall in Georgetown, with
g. E.. Benton. of Salisbury, Md,
district manager, as the principal
speaker. Mr.. Benton told the group
that they may expect higher prices
in dairy and poultry feeds and sub
stitutes for some of the ingredients
now used because of the defense
program. He stated, however, that
substitutes of equal nutritional val
ue will be made in the products. He
pointed out that the membership as
of June 80. including that of affilil
ated member cooperatives, was
116,515. During the fiscal year the
total business amounted to $17, $685.
900 or an increase of 20.6S per cent
over the preceding fiscal year.
The net savings, or earnings, on
operations for the fiscal year,
amounted to $6O4,OO0. The board of
directors, he said. had disposed of
the years savings by paying 6 per
