BAN IS URGED ON MARATHON DANCEGRINDS Damage Body and Mentality Benefit Only Promoters, Doctor Writes. Preventative measures should be created to halt marathon dancing because of the damage often caused to body and mentality of the participants, says Dr. H. G. Cole, Ham.tiows, in an article in the current edition of the Journal of the Indiana Medical Society. Dr. Cole has just finished serving as physician in charge of a marathon darce at Hammond which extended more than 1,252 hours, exceeding all previous records by 270 hours. The marathon dance recently held in Indianapolis extended more than 800 hours. Rules of the contest at Hammond provided for forty minues dancing in each hour and twenty minutes devoted to eating, bathing, receiving attention from trainers and rest, Health Is Affected Contestants were removed from the floor in hospital carts and usually were asleep before they reached their training quarters only a few feet away. Forty-seven couples were entered in the contest and Dr. Cole examined them before the start and had an opportunity to study their condition at close range. His articles states that: “During the first ten days the dance hall was a bedlam of sore feet, blisters, callouses, corns and other foot ailments. “During this time every contestant developed inflammation of the eyelids. “Many contestants had to discontinue dancing because of ignorant mauling massages administered by inefficient trainers. After the first day or two it became apparent that this was a contest where mind ruled body, rather than vice versa as one would presume.” Dr. Cole sets forth that throughout the contest the first break noticed in contestants was a change in mental state; they either becoming hilarious, depressed or irritable, the greater number falling in the latter classification. Loss of Modesty “Clouding of consciousness, disorientation, delusions, acute confusion and multiform hallucinations were the symptoms presented.” “A disorder of the mind as a result of exhaustion was developed in one case and it was more than two weeks before this disappeared. “Loss of modesty as a result of dropping of inhibitions similar to that experienced under the influence of alcohol was also a development. “One contestant developed a slight lung hemorrhage and immediately was disqualified and sent to the hospital. It later was learned that she suffered from tuberculosis and had had a slight hemorrhage three months before. "Throughout the contest there was an almost universal fall in blood pressure, with varying acceleration and retardation in pulse rate. Worst Hours in Morning “The worst hours for the contestants was during the early morning and lasting until noon. This, however,” Dr. Cole says, “was due to the absence of crowds and the consequent loss of glamor.” Some of his conclusions are: “Harm to the tissues, many foot troubles sure to be permanent, enlarged veins in the legs, which will result in varicosities; and a possibility of hearttrouble due. not to the strain of dancing, but to the im- j proper care or the inability to properly care for the system.” Dr. Cole sums up by saying: j “Preventative measures should stop such contests as no one but the promoter is benefited.” JARDINE VOICES PLEA TO CONSERVE FORESTS Serious Damaged Caused by Present System, Says Secretary. By Timm Special WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.—Expressing his belief that a “fundamental economic error” was made when the nation's forests passed into private j hands. Agriculture Secretary Jardine today demanded an end to the evils of forest devastation. “Under private ownership,” he said, “our forest lands steadily have deteriorated in their capacity to grow new crops of wood. Most tragic of all, the basic resource—the soil | itself—has been irreparably in- | jured.” The ability to draw abundant | timber from our virgin forests has prevented the public from realizing I the real seriousness of the timber situation. Jardine said. He advocated co-operation of eral government, states, and timber-* land owners.

WILD HEARING SET JAN, 15 Arguments on SIOO,OOO Notes to Be Argued. Arguments in the superior court two case in which Richard L. Lowther, receiver for the defunct J. F. Wild & Cos. state bank, seeks SIOO,000 in “accommodation notes” given the bank, turned over to him for sale purposes, are set before Judge Linn D. Hay Jan. 15. The last hearing was held in September. The notes were given by the late Robert I. Todd, Indianapolis street railway company president; the late John J. Appel, business man, and Frank M. Millikan, capitalist. Mrs. Todd now represents her husband’s estate, but no one has been substituted for Mr. Appel. It is believed that the recent ruling of Criminal Judge James A. Collins, quashing the bank embezzlement indictments against John F. Wild, president of the defunct institution, and three other officials, may have some bearing on the superior court case. The contention that the bank was not insolvent has been made by some of the parties in the case. Joseph R. Williams, attorney for the depositors’ league, has announced he will seek to have anew indictment filed against the bank’s officers. Williams said the bank was on the verge of insolvency since 1921.

What Shall I Do for Gray Hair? By ALICE STRAWN

faded or %js s t r G 3 k G and r '~ t ere are \ V *w/ many preparations on the market for the purpose, I know of nothing better than a mixture of good old sage tea and sulphur. You can either prepare the mixture at home yourself, or as most women prefer, buy it already prepared and ready to use. The correct recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, may be had in Wyeth’s Sage & Sulphur Compound. All druggists carry it and since the cost is only 75c a bottle, there is really no need for any woman to go to the bother of preparing it herself. You would be surprised if you knew the number of men and women who employ Wyeth's Sage & Sulphur because its use is undetectable. You simply moisten a comb or a soft brush with it and draw it through your hair, one small strand at a time. By morning the gray disappears and another application or two sees your hair beautifully and evenly restored to its full original color. There is no suggestion of that hard, dyed look that repels fastiidous women. I advise any woman—or man—whose hair is turning gray to try Wyeth's Sage & Sulphur.—Advertisement. •*. • - 401 a. ,
