THE OLD TRADITIONS
 DIE HARD

Boy injured in a basketball game had remained partly disabled oi crippled for many months. l gather from his fathers letter. Three years ago the boy developed rheumatic fever. This the father seems to at tribute to the old injury. 1T the de agnosis Is correct, the rheuma slc fever is an infectious disease. that is, not contagious or communicable, but caused by germs. and the germs Cnsually a strain of the well known streptococcus related to if not iden- tical with the strain that causes septic sore throat, scarlet fever. sometimes acute tonsilitis or quinsy If rheumatic fever was coming to the boy it was coming regardless of whether the boy had ever suffered any injury.
 4 year ago the boy had acute ape pendicitls. was operated on. A few days after the operation he suffered a recurrence of the same joint con- dition as he had had three years ago. But this time the joint infiam. nation was gone by the time the boy left the hospital.
 Now the boys father thinks it is certain that rheumatic fever mari- fests itself only when the body has been subjected to some weakening experience. "By this I do not mean simple exposure. change Of temper ature or that sort of thing" explains the father. "Instead I refer to that weakening process a body experi- ences from any severe shock. Illness or injury"
 You see the boys father is bound and determined to convince me that lowered resistance is a contributing cause Of illness. He doesn't use the words lowered resistance" but instead the words ''that weakening process"
 I do hope he doesn't permit worry over getting his feet wet or being exposed to sudden change of tenn perature or cooling of too quickly after sweating to cramp his style or prevent him from enjoying his work.
 Fear of exposure AD cold, damp ness, wet. sudden chilling and the like must be a misearble state of mind feSr an outdoor worker to have.
 It will probably make little im- pressiOn on the mind of the poor geek who harbors that fear. but on the of chance that 1t may set some one thinking I'll say that there is nothing in hygiene of which I am more certain than that such expos ure. if you call it that. never con tributes to or causes any illness iosher than frestbite or freezing. however uncomfortable it may be at the time.

Schweitzer Too Keen
For Valentine, Gains
N. A. Tennis Crown !,

Britt Schweitzer of Washington
today is the Middle Atlantic junior
tennis king because he was able to
outthink faster, harder playing
opponent in yesterdays final match
on the all-weather courts of the
Odell Tennis Club, Baileys Cross
Roads, Va. Britt, a brilliant marks
man, overcame Henry Valentine of
Richmond, 6-3, Ga, turning back
the Virginian's smashing attack with
some OF the best shot-placing of the
season.
Despite the appearance of the
score, the match was close all the
way. Time and. time again Valen-
tine would seem to have the District
boy in hot water, only to have Britt
pull him in and then lob beautiful
placement over his head.
In the final game the score was
tied up several times, and the issue
was settled only when Schweitzer's
superior skill tanned the Valentine
blitz attack with a return that the
Richmond boy failed to approach
by several yards.
Schweitzer adds the Middle At
lantic crown to his recent victory
In The Evening Stars City of WASH
lngton tourney. In both instances
the lad proved that brains and STRAIT
egy are as important as power in
winning tennis, and breezed through
the Middle Atlantic rounds with a
81. 90 triumph over Mac SYM
ington of Baltimore and a beauti-
fully played 6-4, 3-6, 6--4 win over
