water re-accumulateS in the It's
sues. 1t is not unusual for a per
son on a loW-calorie diet to lose
no weight for eight to sixteen
days, and then suddenly to lose
more weight than can be ac-
counted for by the deficit in cal
ories. This retention of water can
be repeated. and a subsequent
plateau, followed by rapid
weight decline, usually occurs
sometime after the initial weight
loss.
Just to illustrate the extent to
which stored water can hamper
progress on the scales, here is an
exact example: An obese person,
weighing 275 pounds, who normal
ly burned 2,100 calories as a daily
basal metabolic rate, was placed
on a diet of 1000 calorieS per
day.
For eight days there was no
registered weight loss, and even
slight gains were made, although
she was draining on stored calor-
les at the rate of 500 per day.
However, from the tenth to the
thirteenth days there was a rapid
weight loss not to be accounted
for by the calorie deficit alone.
Following this initial weight
loss, the patients weight again
remained unchanged-this time
for % days-even though the cal
orieS were kept we'll below the
amount used in energy. This
weight level was followed by a
second abrupt decline in weight.
A graph of the average persons
weight loss would resemble steps
of stairs, but for some reducers
the level is extended by storage of
water as fat is lost. These weight
levels are discouraging TO the con.
scientious reducer, and are the

reason many give up the attempt
to achieve normal weight.
Do not be disappointed when
you fail to lose at an even pace.
You must remember that body
weight is the result of two factors
gain or loss of tissue, and gain
or loss of water
There will be periods in which
no apparent change in weight
takes place, and time must be al
lowed for the water balance to
be adjusted. You may not lose an
ounce this week or next, but you
will lose if you persist in your low
calorie diet.

HAVANA, Cuba Nov. IS. (IN.s.)
A small, red lump developing on
the forearm Of DR.. Matias Duque,
6s-year-old Havana physician, Is
becoming a focal point Of inter
national interest among medical
men interested in cancer.
The lump is growing from one
Of the four points where DR.. Duque
was inoculated six weeks ago with
cahcerous tissue from the breast
Of an infected woman IN an at
tempt to prove his theory that the
dread affliction can be transmit
ted by incubation with a virus.
NOT SURE YET
"Of course, it has not devel-
oped to the point where we may
be sure of what it is" DR.. DuQue
explained, "and there are not
sufficient symptoms for me to
say whether my experiment is
succeeding.
However" he added with
smile, IT am naturally intensely
interested in that little bump,
but I have the patience to wait
until am certain before I make
any announcemen about it. The
anti-climax would be too great
should I talk of it now and then
have it turn out to be simple
infection-which it may be-"
Whether it is a minor infection
or the first evidence that his the
ory is correct, the former Cuban
Secretary Of Public Health is re-
garding it with the same scientific
calm as though it were the afflic-
ton Of a patient rather than his
own.
CALM ABOUT RISK
Attempts to make him talk Of
his heroic risk in the interest of
medical science are met with
smiling evasions.
But cancer itself he regards not
only as a threat to humanity but
as q personal enemy since it
claimed the life Of his father years
ago, and recently his wife.
''ft is my ambitious hope to
get cancer even though it gets
me-" he explained.
Meanwhile he is being sustained
in his experiment with scores of
sympathetic letters from physi.
clans throughout the world.

was graduated from the university
last year.
He was stricken at Stevens
Point, Wis, where he had been
working for less than q week for
an insurance company.
Taken to the hospital there, he
was found to be in q critical con.
dition and in desperate need of
artificial respiration. Telephone
calls to all towns as far away as
Milwaukee disclosed there were no
respirators available and it was
decided to bring him to Chicago.

TWO MORE NET TILTSCARDED
 THIS EVENING
Bates vs. Graham, PheIan Plays Pinter; BassfOrd
 Up On Gould

Veteran "Al" Smith, finalist in several local tournaments and one- time city doubles champion, took his racquet out of the closet last evening and gave Henry Cieslewslsi of Naugatuck unexpected opposi- ton in their first round match of the annual invitation tournament of the Overlook Tennis club.
 Darkness Interferes
 But Smith was not in the best of shape and Cieslewski's everlasting returns finally broke hirn down iii the last two sets. The scores were 4-6, 6-l, 6-2. In the other match uf the evening between Harry Bass ford of Naugatuck and George Ed" Gould of Cheshire, action was stopped on account of darkness af- ter Bassford had annexed the first set, 6-l.
 Tn tle opening set of the Smith, Cieslewski affair, the local player brought off some sensational win- ners from backcourt and constant. ly forced the present city cham pion to do plenty of running. In the last two sets, however. Smith wearied quickly and Cieslewslki's game picked up at the same time, these two factors bringing about the end in short order.
 Bates Plays Tonight
 The Bassford- Gould match will be finished before the weekend ic over, the winner to meet Cieslewskt. This evening Ray Bates, city doubles champ, will meet Ed Graham of Cheshire, defending overlook title- holder. In the second match Frank Phelan will oppose Herb Pinter.

I've never seen more mass happiness than on that day at Merion when he ran down the putt that licked Gene Romans and gave his tree mendous grand slam. Jones op. ponents worked under e tremendous handicap-the unfriendiless of the gallery. have actually heard spec tators hiss when player you'd lay an approach dead or sink e long putt and take hole away from the Georgia gem.
 But as said, Jones was an ex- ception.
 In direct contrast to an American crowd is an English crowd, English sport followers invariably are for the champion. They go to tennis and golf and polo and cricket chief ly for the pleasure of seeing an artist execute perfect shots, and are saddened when an unknown comes along and, because of a temporarily brilliant touch, upSets the champion.
 EnsliShmen place no high pre- mium on Q bitter fight. They would much rather see a champion, all shots working flawlessly, breeze through q less capable performer than to watch two mediocre, but evenly matched players, struggle to the bitter end.
