DELEGATES STUDY WHALE STUATION Complete Extermination Feared Unless Action Is Taken — ‘Washington, March 24 () — Be- cause of the possibility of complete extermination of whales ' through their increasing slaughter, whale conservation has become a subject for concerted effort. ~ 4 Dr. Remington Kellogg: Smith- sonian mammalogist and research associate of the Carnegie institution of Washington, announced today that he will leave New York Mon- day for Berlin to attend an interna- tional conference on whale conserv- ation to begin April 3. The meet- ing, called by Sir Sydney Chapman, chatrman of the economic commit- tee of' the League of Nations, will assemble whale experts from prac- tically every country of the world. The whale will be considered bio- logically with emphasis upon its mi- gratory, feeding and breeding habits Dr. Kellogg said. To Seek Legislation It is expected that the findings of this gathering will be embodied in recommendations sceking uniform legislation among nations to keep the killing of whales below the dan- ger.line. The goal is both to con- serve the whale and at the same fime to preserve an essential indus- try. Dr. Kellogg, the lone delegate from the United States, explained that each expert will attend the meeting in a personal capacity rather than as a government repre- sentative. About 30,0000 whales were killed last year, Dr. Kellogg estimated, an amount probably twice as great as the kill any year during the period of the last century, when the Amer- ican whaling industry was at its crest. He placed the number killed at 500,0000 since 1300 to supply the world with whale oll, whalebone, and soaps, face creams, and Kkin- dred products in which the oil prominently figures. Reaches Lowest Point Many authorities believe that the number of whales has reached its lowest point, with the annual kill already in excess of the natural in- crease, and the slaughter growing yearly. Certain areas of the seas, where whales formerly were abun- dant, are now depleted, Dr. Kellogg saide The whale, it was pointed out, no longer has a sporting chance in the unequal battle with man. When dt was hunted in open boats with hand harpoons, all species had some op- portunity of escape. Against present day methods, fea- turing the explosive, cannon-shot harpoon, swift steam vessels, and “gpotting” airplanes, Dr. Kellogg said even the speediest one is prac- tically helpless. ATTEMPTS SUICIDE New Lgndon, March 24—Charles Syphers, 73 ycar old painter, at- WHAT DID WITH HER FAT? ~ JUST THIS: ALL over the country, men and women are wondering at the slender figures of today. Excess fat is rare now, compared with years ago. These people do not starve themselves of elements they need. They employ a modemn, scientific method to combat the cause of fat. The cause usually lies in an under-active gland, whicX largely controls nutrition. * Modern physicians, in treat- ingobesity, donot advise starva- tion. They feed the gland sub- stances which is lacking. Thus the whole world has changed, in late years, as regards the - over-fat. A famous medical laboratory embodied the method in Mar- mola prescription tablets. Peo- ple have used them for 22 years —millions of boxes of them. They have told others about them and shown the results, in new youth and beauty, new health and vitality. Today the useof Marmolaisunprecedented.
