oRrsTTY Ts MALNUTRTTION

There is a common notion that. moderate obesity, superhuous flesh, overweight, corpulence or stoutneSS is an indication of robust health! Probably the notion had its ofl- gin in feudal days when the lords had plenty and their vassals barely enough to eat; and from the on. servation that cancellation, loss or flesh, consumption or wasting oc. CUTS in the advanced stages OF numerous diseases.
 With one notable exception-pll~ monary tuberculosis n even , per cent excess weight is regarded as unfavorable to health and longevity today. Statistics seem to show that moderate stoutness, up to 5 per- cent overweight, is at least not de- trimental to persons up to the age of tbirty-five years. After the age of thirty-five years, however, any excess flesh is u1favorable to health. efficiency and longevity.
 So there wou are, folks. Why carry around handicap of slaeker flesh when it isn't required by law?
 Most of the stacker flesh lumber ing about the earth today is built out of the prodigious amounts OF, the delectable, cheap, plentiful, easy to eat carbohydrates in our modern refined, denatured, unbalanced Am- erican diet.
 Refined white flour and refined. white sugar and syrup and molasses yield more than half of the calories in the daily food of the average person in America. -a
 Galleries from refined white flour or refined white sugar are just as good as calories from any other food material. An ounce of lean meat yields the same amount Of energy, nourishment, calories, strength, refreShment, sustenance, heat or vigor as an ounce of candy. and eke the same amount of slack CT flesh, overweight or superfluous fat if you don't work or play hard enough to burn it up day by day.
 Ouch. I understand. That's what I say every morning when l cauti- ously open one eye, Squint at the clock and realize it is time to start the morning exercises. But ease into mine gently = rolling somer- saults; that makes the succeeding setting-up exercises quite painless:
 As Dr. Robert R. Williams, who with Dr. Tom D. Spies first synthe: sized thiamin (B1) expressed it in the article in Science: Man coma mits a crime against nature when he eats the starch from the seed and throws away the mechanism necessary for the metabolisnl of that starch"
 There. I believe, is the explana- tion of the common tendency to (aJ overeat and (b) accumulate super f1uous flesh. Here, darnit, comes the deadline, so we'll have to con- tinue this talk tomorrow.

FATHER or THE KITCHENETTE
 (New York Herald -TrIbune)

If the late Andrew J. Kerwin, real estate operator, really was the de- sfgner of the first kitchenette (and it appears that he had good claim to this distinction), then he surely was of the first importance in the history of our society. As such, he has much to answer for, and he must likewise take his share iofsthe blame. A kftehenette is better than n0thing; maEhs t helped make

As the war comes to close. Latin America is wondering whether we will continue cooperation or will we assume the old attitude of su- periority. They have contributed generously to the war effort, often completely recognizing their econ omic life so we could have the raw products we, need. v -Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, lecturer.
 The hospitals on the east coast are filled and now it's necessary to send our wounded to hospitals in the midwest and south away from thickly populated centers of popu- lation. It's no longer possible in all cases to get the wounded man in the hospital nearest his home.

This Is the greatest number OF
championships ever won by one
player in a single year. Heaccum-
ulated 318 Master Points during the
year, which also establishes new
record. Any player who has accum-
ulated 27O Master Points since the
origin Of contract bridge is rated a
Life Master, and only SO people in
the United States have been able to
do that In the past Is years.
Goren gave me today's hand as
one Of his best defensive hands OF
the year. On the opening lead he
realized that there really was no
way to defeat the contract; but II
East, his partner, held as good as
the nine Of trumps, he might fool
the declarer into losing his con-
tract. When East led the king Of
spades, Goren played the seven. East
continued with the ace and Goren
played the deuce. Now the declarer
naturally thought that Goren could
ruff the third spade. When East
continued with a spade, declarer
rliffed with dummy's ten-spot. Now
Goren was bound to make two
trump tricks and thus defeat the
contract.
