THE JACKSON ADVOCATE, JACKSON, MISS.

Mr.. Miller had been shown. Some
of them he read to the committee
others he told in summary form
because of their "inflammatory
content"
The Germans, he testified, use
the material In triple barreled'
manner. First, he said, the Nazis
point to American treatment of Me-
groes as supporting evidence that
Americans themselves believe in
Nazi theories about racial SUPER
iority. Second, they use the Negro
question as indications of dis
content and possible revolutionary
elements" here. The third argu-
ment, contrary to the first two, he
said, insist that Negro ideas and
folkways have become q part of
American civilization sufficiently 10
"Neglofy" it, to coin a word. Jazz
was the illustration given.
HAAS THANKS CONFEREES
Only four members, including the
chairman, were present when the
hearings concluded, Miss Sara
Southall, Samuel Zemurray and
and Boris Shishkin having left to
keep other appointments. Mgr.
Francis j. Haas announced at the
conclusion that the committee was
appreciative of the effort made by
both sides, and that the evidence
would be taken under considera-
ton, and action in accordance
with the executive order would
ultimately be taken.
Section five of the order gives
the committee the authority to
conduct hearings, make findings
Of fact, and take appropriate steps
to obtain elimination of such DIS
elimination" Section seven says
the committee, in the performance
of its functions and exercises of
powers, may utilize such state off,
Gals (meaning government Off
cialS) land agencies and in such
manner as it may determine"
The conclusions being reached
have it that the committee may
pursue one or more of the follow
ing courses:
/. Present their findings to the
railroads and secretly negotiate a
solution
2. Permit the railroads to reply
to the findings, and then make
public the findings followed by
directives to the companies to do
thus and so.
8. Submit the findings to the
President along with recommends
tons as to what should be done
to win compliance.
There is the feeling among one
element here that the committee
may not define itr authority" un-
til it has had time to determine
what strength" it has been able
to develop out of the hearings.
Whatever is done, it is expected
that two or three weeks at least
will have elapsed before any move
is made.

In proportion to our numbers In

This is no joke" he told me;
"the Japs are somewhere on the

help of the Aussies, could move into
close enough range and fire upon
the Nips' position.
"This is not an order, so it's up

, etc.-seem to many people banish- able in the light of enough physical activity. Frequently those who have led wholly sedentary lives under take a sudden furry of strenuous ex- ercise e-setting-up exercises, tennis matches, stretches, and what-not often with disastrous results. Sttl others, working to capacity during the week, expend more than their Tagging energies allow on violent Sunday golf game.
 INTELLIGENT DIET
 Many people firmly believe that spasmodic exercise is a necessary concomitant of weight reduction. They think that an ordinarily large meal, followed by brisk walk, will be enumerated in its fattening as- poets by that walk. Frequently they imagine that excessive sweating from exercise is really reducing. Ac- tually-the first good drink of water to slake thirst puts weight lost thus right back on. The only known way to reduce weight is to eat less-less of everything. No particular diet is needed, certainly-just a balanced diet, in smaller quantities-and the amount of exercise required to elim- mate the extra calories acquired through eating puts exercise out of sight as a reducing agent.
 ERRONEUS IDEAS
 Exercise does not stimulate elimi- nation, as many people fondly be- lieve. Tn fact, much constipation is caused among the niddle-aged and older by excessive fatigue rather than physical inactivity. The bowel needs as much as 60 to 72 hours to perform its function, and disturbing its timing is no help to 1t. Advice to cut down on exercise is often given to the chronically constipated.
 Of course, the person growing older whose heart and arteries are sound and whose life has been ac- tive, may continue to exercise after 40. But he should decrease the amount of exercise gradually as his age advances. Apart from organic disturbance, @ good general rule for when to stop Is contained in the warning to observe ones condition after an hour of relaxed rest, fol- lowing exercise. If considerable fa- tigue still obtains, 1t is wise to de- crease the amount of exercise taken, or to tone down its strenuousneSs. It is unwise and at times dangerous to overburden that important or- gan, the heart, any more than Is strictly necessary ss the years ad- vance into middle life and beyond.
