RADuUM IN THE DISCARD

The doctors seem finally to have agreed that radlun' which was loudly heralded few years ago as certain cure for cancer and other humorous groWths IS actually injurious rather than beneficial when applied as remedl al agent Thus another theory goes into the discard
 All of which suggests the thought that an upto-date doctor must be a lively intellectual gymnast to keep abreast of all the real and supposed progress ot the pass inc hour, and simultaneously sidestep in time to keep from under the topping theories of yesterday

If Excursion Today Is Success
Financially Money Will Go
for That Purpose.
SWIMMING MEET BOOKED
SWIMMING MEET BOOKED
BY H. C. BYRD.

One big open regatta may be held
| here this year. If present plans of those
in charge of affairs at the Potomac
Boat Club go through. representa-
lions of rowing organizations in Balti-
more, Washington, Alexandria and
Richmond Will be invited to send crews
here to take part in an event with the
Potomacs.
AS a preliminary to the event, the
club holds it's annual excursion to Mar
shall Hall today, and upon the financial
success of the excursion depends the
regatta. Rowing regattas are conducteo
almost at dead loss here. and the
finances Of the club are in such shape
right now that an affair of the kind
contaminated cannot be carried out. 1t
Is hoped that sufficient money VIII be
realized out of the excursion today TO
finance a regatta Of the size desired.
If finances of the rowing committee
are sufficiently strong Following tne
excursion today, the only thing that
can stand in the way of the regatta
viii be the unwiilingness of the Baltl-
more, Richmond and Alexandria CLUBS
to compete. They probably VIII be giad
of the opportunity, Notwithstanding
that none of the crews IS IN parliculs'i
ly good shape.
Something that has not been done IN
the east will be accomplished by the
Potomac Boat Club IL 1t succeeds IN
staging a regatta III oepleihDcl-
, rowing association has called off Its
regatta and even the northwestern
body, which was scheduled to pull on
its annual event the middle of this
month for the benefit of the Red Cross,
for some reason failed to go through
with the scheduled event. The Poto-
macs were slated to take part IN the
races at Duluth had they been held.
On Thursday the first weekly swim
ming meet will be held at the bathing
beach The affair Is the first of a series
of such to be given every week OF the
summer TIE second meet is to be for

the competitions should be left in the
