Unreasonable as it may seem,
the scales can go up even on a
diet deficient in calorieS. The ex-
planation is that weight change
is determined not only by a gain
or loss in fat, but by a gain
or loss in water as well. Although
you may have lost weight, in
creased water retention registers
as a gain.
The average reducer, naturally
enough, cannot understand how
she gains weight when she is
hungry, and concludes that her
ancestors, age or glands are to
blame. AS a matter of scientific
fact. water storage is usually the
cause.
DR.. L. H. Newburgh, Of the
The Washington times., 1936-06-24

University of Michigan, has found
this true in a series Of expert
ments. In one case, a man OF
normal weight was placed on a
supervised diet of 1918 calories
per day. His daily energy expen-
diture was 1888 calories. In spite
of this deficit of 600 calories,
he gained one pound over a five
day-period. The diet caused the
loss of one pound of body tissue,
but water storage was sufficient
to show the gain.
On a diet of slightly more than
half her calorie requirement, an
obese young woman lost no
weight for ten days. In fact, in
the first two days, she gained
weight. At the end of the ten
days, however, she suddenly be-
gan to lose, and in three days
lost six pounds. This is typical of
the rate of weight loss influenced
by water retention.

ley to the already imposing list of
conductors who will appear this
summer at the Water Gate, the
Washington Summer Concerts AS
sociation, composed of members of
the National Symphony Orchestra,
give further cause for assurance
OF concerts of the highest quality.
Mr.. Hadley was for a number of
years associate conductor with DR..
Walter DamroSch of the New York
Symphony Orchestra and is we'll
known as a composer. He has
served as conductor with the Met
ropolitan and Chicago Opera COM
panieS; he was conductor of the
San Francisco and Seattle SYM
phony orchestras and organized
the Manhattan Symphony Or
cheStra.
Plans for the orchestra platform
and shell are rapidly being rushed
in the office of Mr.. Marshall Fin
nan, director of the National
Capital parks. If time will per-
NIT, there is strong probability
that the platform will be erected
on the ramp along the shore line
instead of barge.
In erecting the platform and
shell on the ground, it may be
necessary to drive several piles in
order to obtain solid foundation.
A barge is available if it is found
the shore location will take too
much time to make ready.
If the orchestra platform is
placed on the shore, the concerts
will be heard much better than
those of last season, as it will not
be necessary to boost the sound
with amplifying devices; and be-
sides the orchestra will have 10
more musicians than that of last
summer.
Following the great success Of
the Water Gate site in presenting
summer concerts here last year,
the San Carlo Opera Company is
projecting a series of grand opera
performances in zach'S Bay, Jones
Beach, N. Y. A large floating stage
has been built which is 100 by As
feet. Surrounding this large float
ing stage are four smaller bargeS
on which suitable dressing rooms
have been erected.
Next Saturday the first produc-
t1on OF the season will be given

From DR.. Newburgh's inveStiga-
tionS it is seen that failure to lose
on a calorie deficit is always tenn
porary. A registered weight loss
is only a matter of days, and if
the reducer holds out, sooner or
later this water exchange is ad-
justed and the accumulated loss
is registered. Anyone can reduce
on a continued lowcalorie diet,
so do not let temporary obstacle
like water retention send you
back to overeating.
Water drinking has no connec-
ton with this physiological proc
ess of water storage. On the con-
trary, it is very important that
the reducer drink adequate water
to carry off waste tissue. At least
eight glasses should be taken
daily between meals.
Salt, however, does seem to be
a factor in water storage, and in
retarded weight loss a minimum
of salt should be used. If you gain
weight on a reducing diet, or fail
to lose, cut down on your salt
intake and keep right on dieting.

The march northward is now
well under way. WeakfiSh and
sea bass, also fluke, are now bit

North Carolina comes the report
Of bluefish, some nice rock and
few big weakies.
Mountain trout fishing is won
derful now, the streams are low,
which means that worm fishing
is mo go" but the way the big
ones rise to a dry fly at dusk is
nobody'S business. For best re-
suits use a seven-footer or longer
leader, use small flys, and lay a
long line.
A new booklet covering fishing
for fresh and salt water fish has
just been published by the New
England Council at Boston. If you
contemplate a trip North write
for your copy. A new Streamer

Decoration Day, If the weather

largest turnout of anglers on all
waters ever known. Make your
reservations for boats on all bay
points early or you may be dis

nice pan fish. The big channel

Netmen Point
For Cup Tilt
By WATSON KENMORE

by WAISON tENAMOhE
PHILADELPHIA, May 28.-AuS-
tralia and America resumed prac-
tice on the historic courts of the
Germantown Cricket Club here to-
day for Saturdays opening inter
zone Davis Cup fray, with the
question of team lineup still a para
mount mystery.
Officials of both teams ada
mainly refused to reveal how hotly
contested playing berths on the
respective squads will be settled.
Americans were seething over
whether Wilmer Allison, veteran
national singles champion, would
get a singles call in preference to
Bryan "Bitsy" Grant, Atlanta
(Ga) atom.
They were equally perplexed as
to whether Jack Crawford and
Adrian Quist. No. 2 and No. /
AnZac players, would play both
singles and doubles and thus Dust
the colorful Vivian McGrath by
assuming the entire burden Of
Davis Cup play this weekend.
Meanwhile, Capt. Walter L.
Pate of the U. S. delegation and
Manager Clifford B. Sproule of
the visitors reiterated that the
final squad lineups would be
kept secret until shortly before
the draw for opponents tomor-
row afternoon at the Philadelphia
Racquet Club.
While some observers felt the
American battle plans had been
determined following last weeks
exhibition matches, an element
of doubt EN- in d following
Pate's recent announcement that
tomorrow's team selection might
contain a surprise package"

would mean the appointment of

Two Aces Due
ForMary|and
In Fall
By GARRETT WATERS

It will be Maryland My Mary
land" for a couple of Coach Jack
Rays Central High School players
after the current baseball season
is ended.
The youngsters in question are
Joe Moran, smuggling center
fielder, and Arnold Heft, little
left-hander pitcher, both of whom
plan entering Maryland Univer-
sity following their graduation
from Central in June.
Coach Jack Ray believes both
will became great college players
at the Old Line institution. They
possess that much class. At any
rate they will go to Maryland
with splendid high school base
ball careers behind them.
Meet Riders Today
Both Moran and Helft will be
in Central's lineup today when
the TAt. PleaSanterS meet RooSe-
welt at the Central Stadium at
$3.50 p. m. in an important inter
high contest.
Moran will be out in center field
and will strive to continue the bat
ting work which has made him one
of the hardest hitterS in the
series. Heft will be on the mound.
The young southpaw beat Eastern
his last time out. Today he'll pitch
his head off to gain Central a tie
with Western for the champion
ship.
If this tie comes about, the Mt.
PleaSanterS will engage Western
in a one-game play-off sometime
next week, probably Tuesday.
Leonard Brown, generaliSsimo
of series affairs. will get together
with the coaches of the two mines
and decide upon a definite date as
soon as possible. There is the pos
sibility Griffith Stadium may be
secured. In this event, Monday will
be the date.
Central should have little
trouble downing Roosevelt today.
Coach Jack Rays crew is stronger
from a pitching standpoint with
Heft in there, while the team, now
that it has chance for the title,
is good enough to coun<er any OPP
position the Riders might offer.
Bowers or GessfOrd
Howard Bowers or Stuart Cess
ford will hurl for Roosevelt. Both
have pitched with a fair degree OF
success this year, with Bowers pos
sesSing the greater experience.
Howard, like Heft, won his last
time out when he beat Tech,
II to 4.
Central supporters will watch
the performance of Eddie McDon-
ough, third sacker. Eddie has
played a whale of a game for the
Mt. Pleasanters all season, and
with Moran and Heft, is easily one
of the most valuable performers
on the team.
He hit very we'll in the Eastern
game and played even better in
the field. A player of this type is
most gratifying to a pitcher, since
he knows few hops and grounders
will get by third for base hits. Nc
Donough has kept many a hot one
in front of him this season,
