1HE most eventful year in the
sports history of the Nations
Capital winds to close, leav-
L ing new records in the ar
chives, new champions, new interest
and new high promise Of progress
sive future.
For the first time since 1924, when
Washington won the World Series
from the Giants, the District holds a
world championship in a major pro-
fessional sport. Featuring the sports
year were the Washington Redskins,
who won the championship of the
Eastern division of the National Pro-
feSsional Football League and carried
on to defeat the Chicago Bears, West
ern champions, for the world title,
1921.
The rise of the Redskins easily was
the outstanding high light of 1887.
Moved from Boston and the indiffer-
ence of the Back Bay fandom, the
Redskins solidly intrenched them
selves as a local sports institution.
From the start the Capital showed a
liking for the moneyed football war
riors and as the season wore to its
close and the Redskins finished with
an amazing squirt Washington's in
terest grew into civic semi-hysteria
that smacked of those thrill-packed
diamond days of 13 years ago.

When his blood is examined, II
may be discovered that the amount
OF red blood cells or red coloring
matter Is one-fifth or one third OF
what his normal amount should be-
and, instead Of having $500 white
blood cells in each cubic millimeter
OF blood, he has from 100000 to
100000.
Moreover, the type of white blood
cells may have changed in the pro-
portion of one type to another.
This condition may go on for
many months, leading gradually.
however, toward death, because of
the difficulty Of controlling 1t.
In the second type of chronic
leukemia, the spleen Is not SO much
involved and the changes in the
bone marrow are much more signifi-
cant. Especially indicative in this
type are swellings of the lymph
glands, particularly those in the
neck and near the surface of the
body In other places.
In this condition, also, the red
blood cells and the coloring matter
are greatly reduced and the number
OF white blood cells Is greatly in
creased. In this type, particularly.
the kind Of blood cell known as
the lymphocyte is increased in
number far beyond normal and Is,
in fact. preponderant above every
other type of cell.
Especially significant in the treat
ment of these leukemias Is use of
radiam and X-ray. In many in
stances, TRANSMISSION of blood into
the body helps overcome the i'm

goin' right out again." Which phil
osophy, Charlie seemed to think,
should satisfy anybody.
Telltale Rugs
The linoleum is blue and white,
The hall floor Is painted black
with a apple green runner. The
living room and dining room are
overlaid with pale gray rugs. And
their particular weave shows every
imprint OF a shoe.
Mrs. Brown bought them all last
spring without thought Of children,
or mud, or much of anything ex-
cept beauty. In truth, they are
lovely to look at. But both her back
and children are paying the price.
There are so many shades of floor
paint and coverings, too, that would
have been more practical until the
family was past the stage of treat
ing floors like so much concrete.
Outside, the unpaved street Is
being graded. She knew this was
to be done when she went into
the rug department that pretty
spring day. But her eye and nat
ural good taste got the better Of her
judgment. Buying things for the
growing family to use is not quite
the same as furnishing for grown
ups. It just cannot be done.
Split Milk
Mrs. Brown has an antique sofa.
1t Is not very strong, and the old
cover Is tender. If q child goes near
1t, she Is instantly calling a warm
ing. The children have learned to
avoid that spot like the plague
When guests come in, she carefully
repeats her phrase about it being
tender, and trying to keep 1t just
as great-great Grandma left 1t.
Mrs. Brown still cries over the
Sevres vase that Kitty broke when
she was baby. And over the, brok-
en- fingers Of a Dresden beauty that
her husband knocked over.
In short, she has managed to sur
round herself with trouble.
Avoid Extremes
Children and husbands should be
different people, we admit. And GER
tainly they should learn to cherish
nice things and appreciate them.
Maybe they are learning to cherish
them, but as for liking they all de-
clare that some day
One can select tasteful papers
and curtains and carpets that will
make everybody happy and save
worry and work. And put delicate
bricabrac high, or out Of sight, pro
tenn. Just enough can be around to
keep everything from going utterly
and teach the bull that the
chinashop must be respected. But
extremes are never wise.

BEER AND FAT

BEER AND FAT
Half a pint, a large glassful Of
beer theoretically yields 1876 calories.
Half pint of milk yields 100 CAL
cries. Approximately two-fifths Of
the calories from beer come from the
oxidation of the alcohol in it. pro-
vided all Of the alcohol Is or can be
oxidized or burned In the body. 1t
stands to reason that If there is a
perceptible odor Of alcohol or AIDE
hyde on the breath of an individual
who has taken any alcoholic bev-
erage he has taken more alcohol
than he can oxidize or burn.
Physical exercise was obviously
intended by nature to be the chief
means of countering surplus fuel
or food intake, says DR.. w. F.
Christie in an article on British beer
in the London Practitioner, Novem-
Der, 1886. This author estimates
that an adult consumes 81 calories
walking mile. If the surplus fuel
is beer, that would mean over two
miles for every glass of beer. That
would be just terrible, eh, fatty?
One who is fond of beer or other
alcoholic beverage and predisposed
to obesity must reduce his consump-
ton of carbohydrate food, such as
bread, the English author AYERS, If
he wishes to keep his figure normal,
or else take exercise in proportion

The chronic forms of leukemia
usually are divided in two types,
depending on the extent to which
the bone marrow or the Emphatic
tissue Is involved. Development of
the condition Is slow. In fact, the
patient frequently will not consult
q doctor until the disease is we'll
advanced, because the condition de-
velops so gradually that 1t does not
disturb him.
Wien he finally calls the doctor,
the patients spleen Is found to be

a characteristic error, characteristic
of the medical writer or authority"
when he makes the remarkable re-
mark that If the beer drinker does
not use the 1876 calories in the half
pint Of beer by walking 2 IL miles
or equivalent exercise lit will be
transformed into fat
This is physiologically improved.
The carbohydrate and protein in
the beer (three-fifths of the calor-
ies)might be transformed into fat,
but nobody has shown that alcohol
in any quantity can be transformed
into fat. The English medical writ
erer Enthusiastically then adds
some weasel words which may save
his face but are likely to be omitted
by others who may quote the "em-
inent British authority" He sidles
off to this effect: theoretically, one
ounce OF human fat can be formed
in the body (where else would any
one imagineO from an average pint
of beer, probably not directly but by
'sparing' other fuel food stuffs."
According to the latest and most
competent scientific investigations
1t is very doubtful whether alcohol
can be used at all for the perform
ance of work. The limited amount
Of alcohol the body can burn under
any circumstances serves only to
produce heat. Name any medical
