GOOD MORNING, HOW WE'LL

 propose that instead of greet ing friends in the conventional way, which, I fear, is rather nega- tive in implication and so suggests 8 negative response, such as "Oh, pretty well, for me-" or Doing as well as can be expected" or Not complaining" one should put a positive suggestion into the greet ing and instead of saying "How are you?" say How well are you?"
 That inquiry at once places the friend or acquaintance on 8 slight ly higher plane or level and creates a desire to respond in kind, as, for example: T received 8 rating of 90 on my spring, summer and autumn tests"
 For years we have been trying to teach people that periodic health examinations or tests are worth what they cost in time and money. But perhaps our efforts have brought indifferent success for the very reason that we predicated the practice on a negative incentive - tte desire to be assured one hasn't tuberculosis, goitre, heart disease, etc. As popular knowledge of hy- giene and the ways of health in- creases popular interest in the methods and means of gaining or regaining better than average health, vite, increases too, and the periodic health examination ought to be predicated on the positive de- sire to excel in health rating.
 AS we proceed with this har- angue and present the keys to vite 1t will become manifest that what keeps a good many individuals on the lower health level or even in the borderland drifting aimlessly along may be, for example, mere i ly a shortage of iodine or of cal- cium or of one or more vitamins In the daily intake, so it should be clear enough to the casual reader that low level of health in such cases is a nutritional deficiency.
 But even in cases where the health impairment is primarily due to chronic poisoning, as by arsenic in various occupational and domes- tic environments; or to chronic anoxia or interference with the constant delivery of full quota of oxygen to the body cells as @ re- suit of frequent exposure to air slightly contaminated with carbon monoxide; or to insufficient direct Eanshine on the naked skin; or to alcohol, tobacco or drugs; the con- dition to be corrected is mainly Arrangement of nutrition. In the medical sense nutrition means not just food or diet, but the sum of the processes by which oxygen, food and water are assimilated, utilized for energy, growth and re- pair and finally excreted or dis posed Of.
 Most people in the middle level, with a health rating of 75 to 80 muddle along in that mediocre state simply because they have not had the advantage of good health education and they assume their health status is fixed by fate.

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Pitts-

ruff, blazed over the fast Franklin
Field cinder track in successful de-
fense of their half-mile and mile
championships today, set new track
meet records in both, and thus
emerged as the first school ever to
win four titles in the long history of
the University of Pennsylvania re-
lay carnival.
Long John, Olympic champion at
800 meters, was the standout figure
in this 45th renewal of the track
and field extravaganza. Appearing
here for the last time as a collegian,
the 6-foot 4-inch giant gave proof
Of his versatility by running bist-
ering 220-yard leg in the morning
and then coming back in the last
event of the meet, the classic 1-mile
relay, to rip off a 47.4-second quar-
er-mile.
That anchor leg brought Pitt
home 10 yards in front of Michigan.
The time was minutes 14.8 Sec
onds, one Of the fastest perform
ances on the books and six-tenths of
a second under the Penn relay
mark established seven years ago
by Bill Carr and his University of
Pennsylvania teammates. Coupled
with the half-mile victory in 1883,
seven -tenths under the former
meet mark, and yesterdays sprint
medley win, 1t enabled the Panthers
to repeat all three of their 1898
triumphs. In addition, they won

in 3:193, three-tenths under the
former mark; the teachers college

in 3:214; the high school mile, and
the prep school mile and two-mile.
The two prep school records, turned
in by La Sale of Oakdale, N. Y,
and Seton Hall of East Orange, N. j.,
respectively, also were new national
interscholastic standards.
Ellerbe Flash in Sprint.
In addition one meet mark was
tied by Mozel Ellerbe, N. c. A. cham
pion from Tuskegee (Ala) Institute.
The Negro whipped through the
final of the 100-yard invitation
sprint in 9.6 seconds to win by a
good 3 feet from Kenny Clapp of
Brown.
Besides Pitt, only one other school
took more than one title. North
Texas State Teachers College, fea-
turing Wayne and Blaine Rideout,
added to the distance medley it had
won on opening day the 4-mile
championship, with Wayne Rideout
running 4:163 mile and twin
brother Blaine a Abs anchor to
score by 120 yards over Manhattan
College in 17:259.
New York u, with a 7:45 per-
formance, succeeded Manhattan as
2-mile champion, and Virginia, ow-
ing almost all of its success to Frank
Fuller, took down the 480-yard shut
tie hurdle title.
But it was Woodruff and his Pitt
mates-Frank Oil in all four races,
AL Ferrara, Art Thomas and Larry
Tregoning in two each and Clyde
Graf in the l mile-who stole the
show as far as the 10000 customers
were concerned.
Woodruff Steps Out.
They rooted the Partners into q
10-yard lead on the first leg of the
climactic mile, roared as Graf
handed Woodruff that same margin
for the final whirl, and then almost
subsided to a whisper as, down the
back stretch, Michigan's anchor man,
w. Breidenbach, cut Long Johns
lead in half.
But rounding the final turn into
the stretch, Woodruff let out his
stride to hit the tape 10 yards to the
good. Behind Michigan, clocked in
3:16.4, came N. Y. U. and Princeton.
In the mornings half-mile, Wood
ruff beat Cornell's anchor man by
4 yards. In addition, the remark
able Negro was timed in 1922 for
the anchor half mile he ran yester-
day on the sprint medley team.
In the schoolboy division, which
contributed the major share of the
5000 contestants, the standout per-
formances were delivered by Seton

Seton Hall, from East Orange, N.
