CHINA GIVEN : KRAUT CREDIT Chicago — (UPl — The famous Chinese dish, chop-suey, was or iginated in San Francisco and now they say that the German dish sauerkraut is Chinese. Popular fancy long has credited kraut to the Germans, although Belgium, England. Holland, Den mark Russia and France have claimed it. But according to Roy Irons secretary of the National Kraut Packers association, who has completed an investigation into the history of kraut, it first sprang into being as part of the rations served laborers on the Great Wall built in 200 B. C. Hsien Gai Tsai, as kraut was called probably had its source much before 200 B. C, but it was in the reign of Shi-Hwang Ti, Chinese emperor of the Chin dynasty, who built the great wall, < that the first traces have been found.

MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor, Journal of the American Medcial Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. Drs. D. N. Dunlap and R. M. Murray Lyon, Scotch physicians, are convinced that most people who get fat do so because they eat too much and take too little exercise. There are, however, many instances in which two people eat exactly the same diet In the same amounts, one becoming overweight and the other retaining normal weight. The obvious difference in these two cases is the manner in which the body disposes of the food that is taken in. It is well established that the glands of the body, including particularly the pituitary, the thy roid and the sex glands, are related to the question of the disposal of sugars and of fat. It is well recognized that among women as they gain maturity, as ; they have children, and as they ap- | proach the period at the end of middle age, there is a special ten dency to change in weight. Men are, in general, more active physically than women. They spend more time in the open air, eat more proteins j and less sugars, and are less likely | to search for reduction in weight just to look better. The common- , est age for the beginning of over- j weight is between 20 and 40 years of age in women, the average being usually around 30. Among men the onset of overweight is likely to come on somewhat later. One-third of the women who were examined by the Scotch physician? associate their tendency to over weight with childbirth. There are however, other factors to be taken into account. For instance, the period of childbirth is approximate ly 30 years of age, which is the be ginning of the period when mcwt women tend to become fat. Further more, it is the tendency of human beings to associate some striking occurrence in their lines with the onset of some physical change Thus, if a child becomes paralyzed or shows signs of mental weakness, the parents are likely to associate this with an accidental fall from the high chair. Children who have developed infections of the bone? or of the heart are usually blamed for having been over-active or for having indulged in some particular strain when the actual cause is per haps a hidden infection in the ton sils or in the teeth. Of course, following childbirth, a woman 1s likely to rest much more than previously, and also to eat much more. This would explain the tendency to overweight at such a time.

Proposals for development of the Columbia river basin, which in cludes more than 1,800.000 acres of arid and semi-arid land in Washing ton state, will be pressed by the senators and congressmen of the three northwestern states. Preparatory steps for an $800,000, 000 project, destined to provide 40, 000,000,000 kilwatts of power annu ally and support a population of perhaps 1,000.000 are expected to be taken on the basis of army engi neers’ reports Sale of power for commercial use, and payments of farmers for irrigation water, are planned to re pay the projected expenditure by the federal government. Seven huge dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers are proposed, along with a barge canal to furnish transporta tion to the Pacific coast. Interior department officials, who have studied the proposal on the basis of results in the other irri gation and reclamation projects es timate that a farm income of $79. 000,000 might be produced; that 24,000 farms of 80 acres each would support a rural population of 120, 000, with a similar population in new towns, and a possible 500,000 population' increased in Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. Present land values in the basin are from $2 50 to $50 an acre, averaging less than $15. Such a development would take more than 25 years, officials here believe. The reclamation bureau of the in terior department Is now consider ing what to recommend to Con gress, in the face of recommenda tions by Oregon, Washington and Idaho interests for a large-seal# immediate start. — ■- - ♦ ♦ Policeman Gains Weight While Walking Beat Huntington, W.
