King of Swat Arrives at
Gotham Minus Consid
erable Waist Line.
NEW YOtvK, r< i. 7.—George Her
man Ruth iwhizzed <int > town tin

“Lookit mo, lookit me!” command
ed the king of larrupcrs. "Take ;
squint at my waistline Ain’t it a
darb—now?
"Once I used to weigh 230 and now
I weigh 193. Want.i know how 1 did
it? Well, I ditched my bell, that's
what 1 did.
Friends Joked Him
"About six weeks ago a friend o!
mine smarted nie up to the i h:i tha:
the business of wearing a leather
belt was bad very, very bad. Ur
said that wearing a belt meant tha:
I was choking off my stomach from |
direct connection with the intestine-]
and that the wholo digestive appara
tus was going on the blink because
of that.
" ’That’s why you are fat around
the waist, Babe—that's why,’ he told
me. ‘Now you go and toss that belt
away and get yourself a pair of sus
ponders. If you do you won't know
yourself within a month.'
He Ditches Belt
“And goshdarned," commented Mr.
Ruth, “if ho wasn’t about right.
Whenever I look in the mirror now
and take a squint at my waistline 1
almost have to be introduced to my
self. Ditching the belt did it.
“Ever since I tossed the belt aside
I have never felt the same old dis
tress after oating. The fat. has been
disappearing, my body is getting the
real nourishment it needed and 1
fool better than I’vo felt in five
pears.
“Oh boy, watch me soak that base
ball this summer. I'm in shape.”

LONELINESS OF LEPERS IS
■ RELIEVED BY WIRELESS
| Chinas Island, tin- home of Porlo
| Ricoh leper colony, alter years cf
dreary days and rileiat night®, can
I new listen to the voices of ihe
j world. A radio receiving set has
| Just been installed there, within a
few days a loud-speaker will be at
tached, and thirty-six new radio f ns
, j will be enchanted with the marvels
' i of science — and—occpc lonaly, cf
II course, disgusted wth the perserso
ness of static. The radio set was
made possible by an anonymous gift
of $loo which came from New York,
to which were added local contribu
j lions.
Probably not since its invention
lias the Ectting up of a radio sot
been watched by a more interested
group of spectators than that which

thusiasm. Rife on a hire, shadcless
reel’ on which the hot sun's ray;
' beat fiercely, and against which the
surf pounds ceaselessly, is net con
ducive to an exhuberant display of
feeling.
t| "When the loud speaker comes
i you will be able to hear concerts,
music and singing in San Juan, in
■ Havana and in the big cities of the
'. i nited States,” they were told. There
was a chorus of "Maguifico” and
a “que btiono,” and one man remarked
—“it was meant for such exiles us
r we are." For, near as they are to
San Juan, the lepers regard their
isolation as exile. "Some pobrea
desterradoes," ("We are poor
I i exiles") they tell you. They com
■ plain of the loneliness of their lives
more than they do of the disease it
*.j '‘if- Even the prospect of hearing
,1 nightly the strains of famous oreTu
Uas and the words of eloquent
s sneakers does not reconcile them to
, their lot.
They hate the glarin'1; sunlight,
