...most brilliant pieces of original research ever done in Harvard's biochemistry department. Not until last week was it generally known what Student Wood was getting at. In studying footballers' blood counts he was investigating the increase of leucocytes (white corpuscles) which occurs during muscular exertion and in certain forms of local infections...
They discovered that in infection "band-form" cells sometimes increase as much as 25%. But in muscular exertion the increase is all in the ordinary white cells. Leucocytes furnished a good yardstick of energy production and exhaustion. Comparing one form of athletics with another disclosed that football is the most strenuous of all, with the possible exception of the 25-mi. marathon. During two hours of football, the ball is actually in motion only eight minutes. In that time the player burns up energy at top speed. Researchers Wood and Edwards discovered that the average leucocyte increase is nearly...

The sensation was really quite pleasant-no pain and no muscular rigidity in going under." After he received the methylene blue injection "there was just a sensation of floating...

This picture is called "The Fountain of Youth." Workmen have also just set up, in the ladies' room of Rockefeller Center's 3,500-seat cinema theatre, an illuminated colored glass panel 18 ft. long of "Amelia Earhart Crossing the Atlantic...
