Clash With Looters Tokio, May 3. -- Serious clashes between Japanese and Chinese troops at Tsinan, Capital of Shan- tung Provice, were reported in despatches to the Japanese News Agency and the War department * today. The mews agency report placed the aJpanese casualties at four of- ficers and thirty men wounded. General Chiang, Kai-shek, the Na- J * tionalist Commander-in-Chief, who entered the eity yesterday, - was said to be powerless to pre- vent looting by his troops, which appeared to be going on indiserim- inately in the property of both Chinese and Japanese. These orders were the more surprising because an agreement was understood to have been reached with the Nationalist lead- ers to permit the railway move L ment of Japanese troops within the Province. Earlier despatches had blamed disorders in other points in Shan- tung on the disordered Northern troops, which had been routed during the past few days by the advancing Southerners. Shanghal Bombed Shanghai, May 3. -- This city turned today from conflicting re- ports of the warfare between the Nationalists and Pekin forces to the North to a bit of "strafing" on fits own doorstep. The Northern planes, believed to have come from the Northern eruiser Haichi, lying off Woosung, dropped four bombs in anattempt to eripple the . Nationalist war vessels near the Kaingnan arsen- al. . They apparently failed of their objective, but two women and two cows were injured by the ey- plosion of one bomb mear the Shanghai South Railway station. The planes flew off umscathed as suddenly as they had appeared. Their brief passage over the in- ternational settlement gaused a sensation. The Nationalist armies, appar- ently having wom mueh territory in three provinees without meet- ing any considerable resistance, were reported as massing under General Chiang Kaishek for a new, thrust.

CHILD'S PAINTING ACADEMY FEATURE Work of 14-Year-Old Corn- ish Girl is "Hung on Line" London, May 3.--The feature of the Academy exhibition which opened Monday is a picture hung, "on the line," a position waich it is the ambition of every artist to obtain, painted by Miss Joan Sanders, a beautiful Cornish girl of only 14 years, with a wealth of titian red hair. She is the young- est artist to achieve this distinc- tion. The little girl began painting in oils only 18 months ago and never had an academy training. Her father is a novelist and her mother a poetess. Her picture is entitled "Her Brothers." The picture re~ presents three Cornish men play- ing tennis.

CNA Alas 4 Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. PENALTIES OF OVERWEIGHT (By Jus. W. Barton, M. .) Although I write frequently about the terrible results of under- eating in young girls because it leaves them open to attacks of tu- berculosis, yet they are about the only human beings who are really undereating. It is fnfortunately only too true that as a people, particularly middle aged people, we are eating too much food and tak- ing insufficient exercise. All our research men and our insurance statisticians tell us that it we would but consult the tables which show the result of overeat ing we would be a more temperate race. As you know the lite span has been lengthened because of the great saving of babies at birth and during the first year. Yet our mid- dle aged folks do not have as long an expectation of life as did our forefathers, Why? For the most part because of this matter of overweight. Overweight predisposes to diabe- tes, to high blood pressure, to gall stones and to heart ailments, It makes the surgical patient a poorer risk. Overweight also causes much of the foot trouble hecause of the ex- tra weight on the small bones of the feet which sustain the waight. As you know, if your feet hurt you it means that you must be on them less. Less time spent on the feet means less physical exercise in general. Further, as mentioned before, most of us earn as much money with our feet as we do with our heads. Overweight, then, ean he a serious matter from the standpoint of the feet. Statistics show that 50 per cent of the patients with high blood pressure ara overweight, 70 to 80 per cent of patients with diabetes are overweight, and that nearly 950 per cent of the gall stone cases in the Presbyterian Hospital in New York gave a history of having been overweight, These figures prove that a mat- ter of say five or even ten pounds seem to make little if any differ- ence in the death rates of insur ance policy holders, whereas fif- teen to twenty pounds sends the rate up 16 per cent, twenty five to forty pounds, sends it up 27 per cent, and {fifty to eighty pounds 50 per cent. Remember a little ex- tra weight is all right, as a sort of reserve, but above this the pen- alty to health and life is severe, GERMANS ACCLAIM KELLOGG PROPOSAL Newspapers of All Parties Vent Universal Chorus of Approval Berlin, May 2.---A universal chorus of approval from newspap- ers of all parties in this country that Tuesday morning greeted publication of Foreign Minister Stresemann's note accepting Secre- tary of State Kellogg's project for a multilateral treaty for the re- nunciation of war as an instrument of national policy bore eloquent testimony to the fact that the Ger- man people stand solidly behind the American proposal. It is a rare occasion when editors of ail shades of opinion in Germany-- Socialist, Liberal, Conservative and Monarchist--find themselves in the same camp, but that phenomenon occurred here Tuesday. What pleases the Nationalists particularly is a suggestion to For- eign Minister Aristide Briand of France in the Stresemann note that a corollary to acceptance by the powers of Mr. Kellogg's proposal must be universal disarmament. Furthermore, 'Die Kreuz Zeit- ung." organ of the Nationalist party leader, Count Westarp, makes an interesting interpreta- tion' of the statement in the Ger- man Government's note that adop- tion of am anti-war pact would "bring the existing conflicts of na- tional interests to settlement in a peaceful way." "Die Kreuz Zeitung" apropos of this sentence: "One would not go far wrong it one assumed that the German Government thereby - wished to point to extension of the revision possibilities in the peace treaties as laid down in article XIX. of the League Covenant and especially to the Rhineland occupation."
