The team had nothing to do with the New York City borough of Harlem. Abe chose the name to emphasize the team’s ethnic heritage.

Itmarks the date she became thefirst person to fly solo across the Pacific fromHonolulu to Oakland, California in 1935.

PETBITS SPONSORED BY:

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: This Christmas, we thought we bought the perfect puppy for our son. "Chipper" looked adorable and healthy at the pet store when we picked him out. However, a couple of days after we brought him home, Chipper got very ill; he was lethargic and vomiting. We took him to the vet right away, where he remains, recovering from several issues the vet said are typical of puppy-mill dogs. He also said that puppy-mill dogs can have behavioral problems as well. Now I'm not sure we should keep him. What should we do? -- Taken for a Ride in Pennsylvania

DEARTAKEN:OK,firstoff,pleasekeepChipper.Eventhoughheisnottheperfectlyhealthypuppyyouexpected,it'snothisfault.Furthermore,youmadeacommitmenttobring a pet into your home, and you should stick with that promise. Second, you can complain about what happened. Complain tostoremanagement,writethecorporateheadquarters,if

there is one, and complain to the Better Business Bureau. PetstoresandbreedersmustbelicensedbytheUSDAtosell pets, and are supposed to be inspected regularly. You cancontact the localSPCA,theHumaneSocietyof theUnitedStates(hsus.org)ortheASPCA(aspca.org)ifyouthink Chipper came from a puppy mill.Again, please keep him if at all possible. Too many puppy-mill dogs wind up in shelters, or are euthanized, due to health andbehavioralproblemsthattheirownersdidn'twanttodealwith.Ifhishealthissuesbecomeoverwhelming,talkto your vet about treatment and payment options. To head off potential behavioral problems, contact a dog trainer whohasexperiencedealingwithdifficultdogs.

●ItwasAmericanhumoristandcolumnistJoshBillingswho made the following sage observation: "Reasonoften makes mistakes, but conscience never does."

●Youthinktherearealotoflawsuitsbeingheardinthecourts these days? Statistics show that half of the suits filed never even make it to court.

● In France in the 1700s, capital punishment wasnot uncommon, and criminals thus condemned were decapitated by the country's Chief Executioner. Thisposition was hereditary, which posed a problem when, in 1726, the holder of that title, Charles-Jean-Baptiste Sanson, suffered an early death, leaving his 7-year-oldson,Charles,totakeupthegrislyduties.Itwas obvious to all that a child could never wield the heavy axe required for the decapitations, so it wasdeemed acceptable for a helper to actually perform the executions.Onlytheofficialoffice-holdercouldputtheofficial seal on the act, however, so the poor boy had to witnesseveryone.Itwasn'tuntiltheripeoldageof12that he began to take over the full duties of the office.

● When Christa was two years into herConcord tenure, President Ronald ReaganannouncedtheTeacherinSpaceProject,aNASAprogramdesigned to send thefirst civilian intospace. NASA’s goal was to find an “ordinaryperson,” an educator to communicate with students while aboard a spacecraft. More than 11,000teachersappliedfortheposition.Christamailed her application form at the last minute, writing: “Iwatched the SpaceAge being born,andIwouldliketoparticipate.”● The pool of applicants was narroweddownto114, thendownto10,andonJuly19,1985,ChristaMcAuliffe’snamewasannouncedasNASA’schoice.Theagencylikedher“infectious enthusiasm,” and declared her “the most broad-based, best-balanced person of the 10.”Sheandthefirstalternate,BarbaraMorgan,each took a one-year leave of absence from their schools, with NASA covering their salaries. The Challenger mission was scheduled for early 1986.● It was intended that Christa wouldteach two 15-minute classes to the nation’sschoolchildren from space, broadcast via closed-circuittelevision.Thefirstwastohavebeen“TheUltimate Field Trip,” including an introduction oftheothersixcrewmembersandtheirduties,a tour of the spacecraft with a description of the equipment,andasummaryoflivingaboardthecraft.Her second lessonwas to summarize thebenefitsof space travel,entitled“WhereWe’veBeen,WhereWe’reGoing,Why.”Shewasalsosettoconductscienceexperimentsinmagnetism,Newton’slaws,andchromatography.● Just 73 seconds after takeoff, theChallengerexplodedovertheAtlanticOceanoffthe Florida coast.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I read your column all the time, and I was wondering if anyone has ever written to ask a question about burning in the throat. I was a smoker for years. It's been fi ve months since I have had a cigarette. This throat burning occurs when I walk or try to exercise or even carry laundry. I would like to know what it means. It feels like hot ice in my throat. -- F.R.

ANSWER:Idon'twanttoalarmyou,butIwillbreathemore easily if you see a doctor very soon. What you describe could be a sign of angina, pain caused by the narrowing of a heart artery or arteries.More often, people describe angina as chest tightness or discomfort that occurs when they're active, as inwalking,exercisingorcarryinglaundry,andthenletsupwhen they stop. The variations on angina pain are many. It can be felt as jaw pain, shoulder and arm pain (ontheleftmoreoftenthantheright)orneckpain.Peopleusewordslike"squeezing,""crushing"or"suffocating."Some say it feels like throat tightness. Burning throat pain could be another variant of angina.Doseeadoctorquickly.Stopdoingthingsthatbringonthis pain until you do.The booklet on angina and coronary artery disease explains this common malady and how it's treated.Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue-- No. 101W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6Canadawith the recipient's printed name andaddress.Pleaseallowfourweeksfordelivery

Burning Throat Pain Could Signal Angina

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My daughter is on Effexor for depression. She's been on it for six months, and actually is doing quite well. She's able to handle her job and take care of her family. Does she take this medicine for life? I worry about addiction and what it might be doing to her brain. -- N.M.

ANSWER: Antidepressants are not addicting. Theydon'tdamagethebrain.Whattheydoisrestorenormalbrain chemistry. An imbalance in brain messenger chemicals is believed to lead to depression. Yourdaughter'sdoctorwilltellherwhenshecanstoptaking themedicine. If a person relapses into anotherdepression after stopping medicine, then she should take antidepressants for a more prolonged period, possibly for life.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I think my husband is an alcoholic. He's not abusive, but his consumption of alcohol is more than a six-pack of beer a day, and sometimes whiskey. He usually falls asleep in a chair. My sister tells me the cage test can diagnose alcoholism. What is it, and where can he get it done? He won't talk about these things to me. -- C.L.

ANSWER:It'snotalabtest.It'sfourquestions.Theyare:1)HaveyoueverfelttheneedtoCutdownonyourdrinking? 2) Are you Annoyed when people criticize yourdrinking?3)Doyouever feelGuiltyaboutyourdrinking?4)HaveyouevertakenadrinkfirstthinginthemorningasanEye-opener?Two"yes"answersindicatealcoholism.It'sasimplebutreliable test.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his columnwheneverpossible.ReadersmaywritehimorrequestanorderformofavailablehealthnewslettersatP.O.Box536475,Orlando,FL32853-6475.
