Latest tragedy was Lieut.. JO- Seph H. Burton, Jr., of Los Am geles, drowned in the Warwick River, Virginia, after he was unable to unbuckle his para chute. The body, when found last week, showed that Lieut.. Burton had been able to un- fasten one buckle, but not the other two. The parachute was wrapped around his legs and had dragged him under the water.
 The quick-release parachute features little metal box worn on the chest, permitting the parachutist to get out of his harness i'll ten seconds. instead of laboriously unfastennig three buckles under the thighs and over the shoulder. Though the Army at first denied statements in this column that quick-re- leases are necessary, they have now been ordered. But produC- ton has been slow, and men on the home front are not yet suf- ficiently equipped.
 BRETON WOODS VETO
 Despite the overwhelming vote of the people iast November for international cooperation, ma jority of the House Banking and Currency Committee is preparing to report unfavorably on the Breton Woods Agreement-first test of the willingness of Congress to participate in international or- ganizations.
 There has been overwhelming support of Breton Woods from church, labor and business groups, but the 12 Republicans on the Committee and two Democrats are ready to vote against the agreement as it now stands. The Democrats are Barry of New York and Baldwin of Maryland.
 Lobbying against Breton Woods has been conducted by the top layer of the American Bankers Association - which wants bankers free to make both long and short-term loans abroad without any government control. The attack has been leveled against the StabilizatiOn Fund, without which the Inter- national Bank would be largely futile.
 The Committee majority will probably not vote against the en- tire agreement, voting instead to tag on various amendments which will necessitate another interna- tional conference. Treasury and State Department officials are doubtful if, once we have reject ed the Breton Woods proposal. another agreement can be worked out.
 ROOSEVELT AND AL SMITH
 It was the late Al Smith who more than anyone else persuad- ed Franklin Roosevelt, then dis couraged by his physical setback, to run for Governor of New York in 1928. The race gave FDR his real stater toward the Presi- dency. Later Smith was bitterly critical of Roosevelt's domestic issues, but with the war they be- came more friendly. And when Al died last October, Roosevelt paid him a great tribute in his Boston speech.
 Today a modern housing pro- ject is being built near Oliver street, the humble East Side district where Al Smith was reared. And to commemorate the man who came out of the slums to be Governor of New
 York, a committee is raising money to build a plaza in the center of the housing project. It will contain a fountain and a plaque to the memory of AL fred E. Smith.

That he is acting now in equal con- scientiousness will be as generally conceded. If the defendants are en- titled to a day in court which they did not receive as result of their pleas of nolo, 1t Is, of course, in the interest of fairness and justice that they should receive 1t.
 The people of this vicinity were the great sufferers from teh circus disaster.

 You say there is no such thing as human throwback. Maybe not if one parent has negro blood and the other hasn't. But two octoroonS certainly may have a child with darker skin than either parent.
 (M. A. M.)
 Answer-So may mates of the purest strain of any race. That is of no significance. Atavism, that is, a so-called "throwback" does not occur in the human family. The persistent obsession that if one of the presumptively white parents has a negro strain in his family tree, he or she may have typically negroid child, is born, I believe, of the prejudice Or ignorance.

LEFT HOLDING THE TAG

Recently I had a blood count taken at - laborat1eS the re" port of which reads:
 Erythrocytes, 4,080,000; Hemoglo- bin, 78; LeucocyteS, 5150.
 Two days later had another blood count taken at laboratory and the report of this one showed:
 Erythrocytes, 3,592,00O; Hemoglo- bin, 78; Leucocytes, 4250.
 I know I am anemic but am bewildered by the difference be- tween these two tests.
 (Mrs. M. B. L)
 The notation 'Hemoglobin 78" in both reports, evidently from differ ent laboratories, is remarkable. It probably means 7895-that is, the blood contains a little over three fourths of the iron coloring matter that the blood of healthy person should contain IF there are mil lion red blood corpuscles (erythro- cyteS) per cubic millimeter (ap- proximately 1/50th of drop. In view of the 12T6 difference in the number of erythrocytes in the two reports it is odd, not to say suspi- cious, that precisely 78 something or other of hemoglobin was found in both counts.
 I say suspicious, because if the hemoglobin estimate was made col- or comparison method the same specimen of blood may be read as 10O% hemoglobin with one instruc- ment and 80% or even only 73% on another.
 Besides being the red coloring matter of blood the hemoglobin is the carrier of oxygen from the lungs to all the functioning cells and organs, and of carbon dioxide from the functioning cells and or- gans back to the lungs for eXcre- ton. So the amount of proportion of hemoglobin in the blood is in- portant in every instance.
 In the normal individual there are usually 1000 Or 5000 leucocytes (white blood corpuscles) per cubic millimeter of blood. When the number of leucocytes is as low as 5000-well, it is good sign that the individual should begin to consider seriously the idea of consulting physician. Among the things such low leucocyte count suggests are CD some overwhelming infection such as septicemia, undulant fever. malaria, influenza, CD onset of measles, typhoid fever, (3) disease involving blood forming tissues = spleen, bone marrow, lymph glands, (N patient has been taking a sulfa drug, barbiturates, acetanilide or other blood destroying drug. Now I hope this is enough to inn press upon you, Ma am, the fool ishness of having 8 blood test or examination made on your own After all, what have you got?
