Training. Wrongly Directed.
From the New York Times.


That athletic training, even when not
carried to what would be called excess,
may have its dangers is "A truth ilustrat-
ed in the case of Lieut.. Commander
Reeves, who has just had to retire from
his tifty-nnile test walk without complet-
ing it because of ominous warnings given
by his heart. His physicians say that
the trouble is due not so much to his
training and exertions while noted foot
ball player at Annapolis as to the en-
fo~"ed change to habits compar atively in
active as soon as his duties confined him
most of tie time to the narrow limits %
d warship.
In other words, the fine development OF
heart and other muscles which served
him so we'll on the gridiron became a
source OF danger when he had no use for
it. To be safe. he would have had con-
f+"'-lv to take a lot of laborious and
irksome exercise in addition to his reg
ia work, most of it mental, a naval
officer. and this. as a matter of course.
he did not do. 1t is for this reason that
athletics are a poor preparation for the
activities of most adults. The star OF
the playing field and of the college gym
nasium should not delude himself with
the notion that he has stored up energy

one of the professions. Every ounce of
unused muscle is a source of weakness.
and while hypertrophy is Physiological.
the various forms of atrophy are almost
always pathological.

remarked the first one as he covered his

man seemed receptive and he continued:
Have You got a lower berth for to-

nodded well. I'm travelling with my

give her your berth?"

stranger.
They went back to the sleeper. where

Bond Shrinkage Caused Failure.
Better Interest Wanted Now.

with the advance in the cost of liv-
ing" said this authority, investors have
been looking for securities that yield
much more than those in which our
money had been tied up and which We
were Offering for sale.
Whereas in former times 4 per cent
and AZ per cent were considered good for
high-clasS security, much more is de-
manded now because of the extra cost of
foodstuffs. In consequence, We have been
left with millions of dollars worth of
bonds on our hands.
The throwing out by the United States
of municipal bonds has caused slump
in that class of security and. to that eX-
tent has affected this firm, which dealt
largely in them.
The collapse bf the. Hooking pool had
caused the bank to scrutinize more close
~ the collateral deposited to secure loans,
with the result that they called for more
collateral in the case of accommodations
secured by Buffalo and Susquehanna

wintry weather before the bluebirds be-
gin to warb'e their spring songs.
1t is stated in the legend of the ground
hog and the weather that the prediction
of the little animal does not count unless
the sun is shining and the shadow can be
seen exactly at midday. Consequently
the groundhogs in the vicinity of Wash
ington are supposed to have waited close
to the opening Of their burrows until they
heard the changing bells and footing
whistles announcing the arrival of noon.
Then they scampered out into the open,
saw their frightening shadows magnfied
on the sheted snow and scampered back
into their holes.

Cause of Failure.

The cause Of the failure is attributed
By the members or the firm TO the shrink
age i'll market values of the AZ per cent
bonds OF the Buffalo and Susquehanna
Railway Company and the preferred
stock OF the Buffalo and Susquehanna
Railroad Company, OF which the firm
was carrying a large amount.
These securities We're all in loans, and
the market value diminished the lend
ers holding these securities as collateral
have from time to time required addi-
tional collateral There are other securi-
ties owned by the firm which have not
yet general market and could not
ne realized on in time To meet the de-
mands for additional margin on the Sc
cured loans and the demands of unse-
cured creditors.
1t is hoped that the creditors of the
firm whose claims are secured by the
Buffalo and Susquehanna railway bonds
and Buffalo and Susquehanna railroad
stocks will withhold sale of the same
until plan can be devised To conserve
The value of these securities II the
Buffalo and Susquehanna securities are
thrown on the market both the creditors

and banking house, whose failure came
Yesterday. when an Involuntary petition
IN bankruptcy was fled against the firm,
was announced at the opening OF the
stock exchange today.
AS a result of the unexpected news,
aftor the close of yesterdays business on
The exchange, the market today opened
with declines running from substantial
fractions to q point 50, with con-
siderable volume of liquidation by specu-
lators,. who had not recovered from nerv-
BUSINESS caused by tie market break of
a couple of weeks ago.
Fisk & Robinson have branch Offices
in Chicago, Boston and Worcester, Mass.
Their liabilities amount to S6,S4I .96S. OF
that sum S1,212,343 was money placed

the figures set upon them last Friday by
the firm, would exceed the liabilities by
S4,42s, 444 are in securities which are rir-
tually unmarketable at. this time, the
deficit is apparently great.
Bond Shrinkage Caused Failure.
The direct cause of the failure. accord
ing TO the official statement OF the re-
ceiver, was the shrinkage in the market
value of the az per cent bonds of the
Euffalo and Susquehanna railway, of
which the firm was carrying a large
amount.
That caused the bankS which had
loaned money on the securities to demand
additional col ateral. This the firm was
unable TO supply.
Indirectly, according to an employee of
the house, the failure could be attributed
TO three things: First, the advance in the
cost of living; second, the collapse of the
Hooking pool. and third, the action of
the United States government in casting
out municipal bonds from the list of Sc
curities to be accepted as deposit for
