Rider, Wins

SANTA ANITA PARK, Cal, Feb.
10. (UP)-A plucky victory by a
riderless race horse stimulated de-
bate today on the question: Who
wins the races, the jockey, or the
horse?
Repsac collided with another
horse in the first race yesterday
and tossed Jockey Skinny Fallon
overheard 1G yards from the gate.
Repsac galloped on, swung wide
on the bend, and finished ahead.
The victory didn't count, because
Repsac hadn't carried his weight,
and the win went to Wedding Call.
But turfmen agreed it did show
that Repsac was pretty good race
general, all by himself.

perts predict Lefty Grissom will

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

The average individual has
about 10 pints of blood in his
body. The amount remains con-
slant. The loss OF a small amount
Of blood il quickly made up by
the squeezing of blood out OF
the spleen. which is known to
be a reservoir, and by the pass
ing Of fluid from the tissues into
the blood.
The loss of three or four pints
Of blood at one time may be
fatal. There are instances, how
ever, in which as much as six
pints Of blood have been lost
by gradual hemorrhage without
resulting in death.
A normal human being has
from 1900, 900 to 100000 red
blood cells in every cubic MILL
meter Of blood. The number for
women Is somewhat less than
for men. In normal blood there
are about Is grams of hemo-
globin for every 100 cubic cent?
meters of blood. If the amount
Of red coloring matter falls be-
low so per cent as shown on an
ordinary scale. the patient is
said to be anemic. However, the
patient may still feel well even
when the percentage has fallen
below 20.
Most OF the red blood cells are
formed in the bone marrow of
the body. Red bone marrow is
found in the bones Of the arms,
the legs, in the ribs and skull,
the bones of the spine and in
the sternum. The amount of red
bone marrow may increase when
a patient suffers from diseases
which stimulate formation Of
red blood cells.
When the red blood cells break
down and are no longer able to
function, they are destroyed in
the body by other cells. The
average red corpuscle lives from
80 to so days. This means that
the body has to form daily about
one trillion red blood cells. The
red blood cells that are imper-
feet are digested in the spleen
and in the liver by the reticu-
loendothelial cells. The iron is
removed and the broken-down
material is excreted by the gall
bladder and bile duct as bile.
The iron itself is used in the
building Of fresh red coloring
matter and red blood cells.
II there Is an abnormal
amount of destruction of the
red blood cells in the liver and
in the spleen. too much Of the
bile salt material will be formed.
The liver will find 1t impossible
to pass all Of this on and this
material viii then circulate in
the blood. II the amount rises
sufficiently high. the patient be-
comes jAundced-
