SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By d. Q. q. =. Reed

BY liz Ne A. L. keGCtas-
nNE Of your children, especially
~ ! daughter IN her early
teens, Is liable to develop green
sickness" or some other form Of
anaemia. Green sickness In so
called because the victim tends
to develop greenish color. It is
known as simple anaemia, without
any assignable cause. There de.
velops. loss Of the red coloring
matter OF the blood and slight
din1inution of the red cells or corr
puscles. There are many kinds Of
anaemia but the other two gem
eral cIassifications are secondary
anaemia and pernicioua anaemia.
Secondary anaemia, as its name
implies, occurs as the result of
some other form OF illness. In
this form both the coIoring mat.
ter and the red cells of the blood
are diminished about equally. In
pernicious anameia the red cells
decrease, the white cells multiply,
while the relative value of the
coioring matter Of the blood is In
creased.
1t is very important to pay some
attention to the question of color
in these cases. Most anaemics
are very pale. some with the
greenish. waxy tint to which I
have alluded. There are many
anaemics, however, who are not
pale. In fact, person may be
pale without being anaemic and
may be ruddy and yet profoundly
araenic.
You can readily understand that
1t Is highly important to discrimi.
nate between these conditions.
This is especially true in the So
called secondary anaemias in
which. following an illness or in.
jury, the pallor is associated with
many variations in color.
Some physicians find these vari-
atoms so definite that they can
diagnose from the color alone the
pre.existent or The co-existent dis.
ease such as acute Bright's dis
ease, interstitial nephritis, syphilis.
cancer and certain heart diseases.
In pernicious anaemia tho marked
pallor of the skin is associated
with a lemon-yellow tint.
Among the few constant symp-
toms in all forms of anaemia is
that of muscular weakness. There
is an increasing indisposition and
inability to undertake any physical
exertion. This symptom bears a
very marked relation to the sever
ity of the disease. 1t is least
marked among convalescents. all
of whom have a Diminishing
simple anaemia due to the dis
ease from which they are getting.
well. 1t Is so marked in PERM.
cious anaenlia AS TO amount at
times to complete prostration.
In nearly all cases of even a
simple anaemia there is a brief
period when there is a slight ele-
walton Of the temperature in the
evening. This symptom is always
very much more marked when the
disease is OF the pernicious type.
1t should be remembered that
this symptom has very confus-
ing significance to the physician
who recognizes that 1t may be an
evidence Of tuharculosias that Is
, yet In its incipiency.

inteIlects do not expect to go
around blowing bubbles Of bliss.
They realize that life is q. serious
affair at best and for many peo-
pie grimIy tragic. And they do
not think that God or their bet
ter half is picking on them it
they run up against little
grief.
We are not here to be happy
We are here to grow, and all
growth implies a lot OF painful adj
justment. And even Americans
can't outsmart fate in this re-
spect.
The early Americans understood
that, fact very clearly. They were
q peevish bunch In many ways
but they had lot of sense and
grit and a fine dignity. They
didn't go bellyaching around
every time they stubbed their
emotional toes. They stiffened
the good old upper lip and plug
ged along.A But we, their de-
scendants, are apt to yell like a
bunch of spoiled babies the instant
anything goes wrong.
And this, submit, rs largely
what ails American marriage.

LELAND HOMES
At TRACT I'VE

Leland, Chevy Chase, Nd, the
major home development of M. & r.
b. Warren, has proven to be not
only one of the prettiest, but also
one of the most desirable residential
communities in or near the National
Capital.
This property. consisting of APP
proximately 81 acres, was purchased
by the Warren organization in the
spring of 1928. 1t is known as Sec
ton of old Chevy Chase" and Is
located just north Of Bradley Lane,
facing the Chevy Chase Country
Club grounds.
In the development OF the prop
erty the original contour of the land
was carried out. thereby preserving
its. beauty and all OF the old shade
trees.
Concrete streets and sidewalks,
gas, electricity, water and sewer,
and all other modern conveniences,
and numerous shade trees and shrub
berry have been installed throughout
the property. The property was sub
divided into lots with 6O-foot front
age and 40 feet or more depth.
All of the homes are detached,
varying in architecture of English.
Colonial, Early American and
Spanish designs, including one and
two-story bungalows and houses,
and the different designs are dis
tributed in such way as to lend a
very pleasing appearance.
Tt was the object of the developers
to create community of desirable
detached homes that would meet the
demands of the family of modern
circumstances, and at the same time
furnish all the modern conveniences
one could wish for.
During the first year of the de-
velopment, 40 houses were erected
and sold, and development has pro-
crossed continuously until today
over $50 homes have been built
and sold. representing an invest
ment value of approximately $3.-
900. 900. Homes representing a
value OF $685. were sold during
the year 1927 alone.
Two blocks, the $500 and 500
blocks of Wisconsin Avenue. have
been set aside and developed for
commercial purposes, and establish
ments supplying practically every
need of the Leland resident are
now doing business.
Only rs lots remain to be de.

Mr.. Whiteford pointed out that
under present regulations. attorneys
and doctors have to pass examina-
tons in order to practice their pro-
fession and insure proper and ethical
services, and that the Government
has right to regulate persons en-
gagged nj business. In more than 20
States in this country and provinces
of Canada there are laws regulating
persons in real estate business, he
said.
He stressed, however. in his dis
cussion of realtors relations to the
State. that the State may regulate
individuals i'm business. but not the
business itself.
He explained that the first law
regulating persons in real estate
business was passed in 1912 in Mich
igan, and he reiterated his state
ment that it was enforced in a large
number of States.
He explained the reason for the
validity of this type of law Is that
the real estate mans relation with
a client Is a position of trust In
which he. in large measure. may
hold the future of a mans financial
standing and credit in the balance,
and that the State understands cir
cumstances, and has the right to
ascertain whether he is man to be
trusted with such obligations.
Taking UP the subject of legisla-
ton. Mr.. Whiteford declared that
legislation can not make a man hon
est, but that the proper application
of the law will help to keep him out
and eliminate the dishonest man
spE- 1aa h1Icfnnuz The
law regarding the practice of real
estate gives States the right to de-
ternine whether persons are quail
fled by intelligence and education to
advise persons on real estate mat
tiers.
In speaking of the license bill
introduced in the District the
speaker pointed out it was model
license law similar to that in the
States, but applied to conditions
in the National Capital.
The speaker then took up the
definition of a number of technical
terms and explained that in the
bill the term broker means any one
who sells or offers to sell or rent
or offers to rent real estate and
that a loan broker is not included
as the loan broker is governed in
most States by blue sky law. Most
States do not regard loan offices
or mortgage houses as real estate
brokers.
He further explained that a
broker includes one who acts on
behalf of another and this means
engaging in the real estate business.
1t does not include, however, the
man who sells only his own pro-
perty. Mr.. Whiteford said that IL

WESLEY SUBURB
HELD MODEL

Development of Wesley Heights
by w. C. and A. n. Miller has not
only proven venture of extraor.
! binary foresight, but it has also
turned out to be one of the most
beautiful and successful suburban
operations in or near the National
Capital.
About five years ago tract of
Z about so acres of rolling woodland
was purchased and the development
was started shortly thereafter.
Today nearly zoo attractive
residences of varying size and
architecture have been built on
the wooded slopes. for in the de
velopment OF this community the
natural contours of the land were
preserved and every tree that could
be saved has been spared. Wesley
Heights stands as an illustration
OF the value of preserving trees in
the DEVELOPMENT of a new COM
1nunity. The towering branches of
4 great oaks. shining beeches, and
Towering poplars form the pleas
ing background for nearly every
house constructed.
The size of the homes in this de-
Relopment vary from the small two.
story cottage of six rooms and bath
to palatial residences of larger
proportions. containing as many as
is rooms and five baths. Every
conceivable improvement has been
made to make living conditions
in Wesley Heights a pleasure. a
convenience and a comfort. Con-
crete streets, sidewalks. water.
> sewer, gas, electricity, telephone
service have been installed and a
very frequent bus schedule is main
tanned by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
"A community spirit has been de-
veloped in this suburb to the
highest extent by having the resi-
dents participate in the annual
garden contest, the prize for which

Exhibits planned for the show
scheduled for March IL to II are be-
ing arranged to interest those who
are planning to buy homes or who
already own them. The exposition
to be held for the fourth consecutive
year is to be an einphatica1ly larger
and better exhibition of the indus
trial and commercial resources OF the
District.
Plans for this annual business
show call Ror the display OF great
variety Of articles made and sold in
Washington. Attention il being COM
centrated largely on the acquisition
OF as many exhibits as possible Of
products which go into the construc.
ton OF a house or which add to lis
convenience, comfort or ornamental
ton.
Demand for Space Great
Demand for space in the 1923 ex-
position has been greater than it was
for any of the three previous shows.
The two main floors of the audi
forum, with space totaling $4,000
square feet. will be devoted to the
exhibition. but officials in charge are
contemplating the taking over of the
third floor IL the demand for space
continues as 1t has been.
According to M. A. Leese. chair
man of exposition committee. the
displays will exceed 100 in number
this year and will be at least rs per
cent more than the number in pre-
vious shows. Group exhibits will
feature the 1928 exposition. Promi-
