About staleness-

Staleness is probably more often
seen among track, football and basket
ball men The severe training these
athletes nave to undergo to fit them
for the severe tests of the season of
tentimes causes staleneSs The ath-
lete probably feels the touch of it sew
eral weeks before he is forced to rest.
1t comes as a sort of kypnotism and
goes to all parts of the system. The
man in training loses all interest in
the work, he becomes slightly weak
and is unable to keep up the fast pace
he has probably been forced to by the
coaches This staleness is probably
more often seen in the quarter mile
runner and the longer distances than
In others.
The Physical Directors Association
are inclined to believe that this stale
ness is evidenced by the heart action
! 1t is the opinion of many men at the
head of the great scheme that {
! change in the heart action has its be
| ginning as soon as this staleness first
! comes on. If this is true it is thought

action by tile trainer each day, the con
dition of an athlete can be seen, ant
! the first symptoms of this staleness
can be discovered in time to check 1t

About the Plan.

Physical Director Chamberlin has re-
ceived an outline to assist him in car
rying out the statistical end of the in
vestigation He is to make ten exam
nations on a number of members Of
the gymnasium classes and when COM
piled will be sent to New York head
quarters. The examination will in
clude all sizes of youths and men.
The examination is to be given to
each one at any time during the year.
Before an athlete enters the gymnas-
ium he will be examined, the heart
action being taken while in reclined
position and the heart action being
taken while standing up. The athlete
will then be sent in to the gymnasium
and put through hard test and when
almost exhausted will be again ex-
amined The same plan will follow
the examination of the heart being TAX
| en- in a declined position and also
! while standing. This examination will
! also include taking the weight OF
man before and after the exercise.
If the result of this statistical cam
paign is successful it is thought that
athletics will be somewhat revolution
lied, for the star athletes of the coun
/ try will be sble to practice With g
greater energy with the assurance taa'
the fearful staleness will not come
upon them without at least, warn
ing.

 The enactment of deposit guar antss law in Oklahoma, threatening our border banks and indeed many of our interior banks, as these bankers themselves write me, with the loss of deposits In favor of Oklahoma banks, has added new and urgent reason for prompt action on the part of Kan sas
 The decision to reconvene the leg islature in extraordinary session has been reached after very careful con- sderation. The demand for special session has come from every part of the state in an avalanche of letters and telegrams and. personal solicita- ton.
 Three specific things have been chiefly dwelt upon by these petition era: Namely, the enactment of a primary election law, bank deposit orz' guaranty law. and some seem ingly necessary amendments to the new tax law"
