ASK NIGH COURT AID IN WAR ON ANTI-FAT ADS Federal Trade Group Seeks to Learn Limits of Right to Control. ll'i I nited Pre WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.—The supreme court has been asked to take a hand In the anti-lat campaign and decide the merits of at least a Tew of the numberless reducing schemes. The review is asked by the .federal trade commission because it was unable to enforce its dictum on one purveyor of obesity remedies. It unsucessfully tried to compel a manufacturer of tablets promising girth reduction to conform in its pamphlets and paid advertisements with what the commission believed to be the truth' in advertising. Contained Powerful Drug Hie tablets, with their particular appeal to rhose women who find dieting interferes with their meals, who become dizzy when they roll, and who do not get up early enough to take radio calisthenics, were found to contain a powerful drug. Extract of the thyroid glands which science has found to have much to do with the control of a person's weight was discovered to be one of the most important components of the remedy. In the course of their investigation the commisison learned much about fat and its misapplication. They learned that the thyroid extract might be useful in about five per cent of obesity cases. Blame Improper Eating The other 95 per cent are caused simply by improper cr excessive eating. Thyroid works on the theory that it increases the oxidization of fatty tissues. But, the commisison learned, when t hyroid is taken it tends to decrease the activity of the natural gland, and Increases, rather than lessens the difficulty. An order was Issued directing the company selling the remedy to desist from its claims of certain cure. Ordered to Stop It was ordered to stop saying the tablets were “safe and harmless’’ unless it added that it could not be safely taken except on the advice of a reputable physician. The commisison’s authority previously had been defined, however, and a lower court ruled it only could issue orders protecting reputable and honest dealers from unfair competition. Confronted with an array of alleged fake cures exposed by the American Medical Association, the court said in effect, “these are not legitimate enterprises and are not entitled to protection.’’ FORCE HAIR TO GROW ON A WATCH CRYSTAL Barber’s Billiard Ball Claims Outdone in English Experiment.

Blake swung the whip for a second chastisement with a short address on unemployment. “These thousands of jobless men. these starving children—and then these other thousands in luxury—what a comment this is on our boasted civilization,” he exclaimed. The third castigation came with a talk by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of Chicago, on European conditions. “Europe believes Chicago is about the worst city in the world.
