EFFECT
OF MARATHON DANCE
Dozen Physicians Keep Tab
on Results of Contest
Stopped by Police.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2l.-More
than a dozen physicians are making
minute records today OF the condition
of six Marathon dancers who stayed
on the floor for fifteen hours and six
minutes.
The dancers set a new world record
and incidentally gave medical men an
unusual opportunity OF witnessing the
effects of such a terrific strain. They
were stopped by the police yesterday
afternoon because the doctors said that
further eXeruor might mean death.
When the police appeared on the floor
there was a concerted demonstration on
the part Of the 500 spectators. who
wanted the contest 10 be danced TO a
hcers prevented a riot
Nineteen couples started In the test
Saturday evening at II o'clock OF
these, all but six dropped out before yes
terday afternoon. As they became ex-
hausted they were taken 10 a room ad-
joining the hall which had been fitted
up with cots and which resembled a
hospital. few OF those who left the
contest at an early stage were able TO
walk out OF the improvised sick ward
today.
One Of the most remarkable features
Of the contest was the dancing of ]. A.
West, the ffty-four- year-old competitor,
who sJayeG on the floor until the police
interfered- He danced with sixteen
yearold partner. While he showed signs
of exhaustion Al one stage he seemed to
get his second wind and was dancing
merrily away with no signs OF unusual
fatigue when the dance was stppped.
The disposition Of the purse OF $3.50
for the winner and the Champion
laurels has not been determined. The
money may be divided among the six
contestants.

Wash Your Hands, Clean Them
Of Unseen Disease

Wash your hands! Wash them
early and late, whether you think
they need it or not! For 1T is just
when YOU think that they don't
need washing that they need
It the most. That is what DR.. r.
G.. Eccles says in pamphlet, is
sued by the Michigan health de-
partmenk.
He believes that the most i'm
portant problem of the day is get
ting rid of dirty hands, for he says
dirty hands are causing more
deaths than bullets, poisons, rail-
way accidents and earthquakes
combined.
The dirty hands that de so much
damage to the health and longevity
of the human race are not the dirty
hands that Willie or Susie have
after making mud pies, or the sort
Bill Jones brings home from the
coal mine, or the kind that the
farmers hired hand has when he
comes in from the freshly Moved
fields.
That sort of dirt-mud and soil,
coal dust and ashes, pain and var
nish, are almost as harmless as the
clothes We wear.
Continuing, he says, cit is prob
able that there are foul and filthy
hands-invisibly dirty, that are by
their owners, kept perfumed with
the odor of Transplant, ylang-ylang
or musk, manicured till fingernails
shine and every vestige of visible
blackness has disappeared, and are
kid-gloved besides. They wash, as
they eat and sleep, under the guild
ance of clock.
Dirt is dangerous not so much
when 1t is of the earth, earthly
but because it is often far worse
Iexcretions of the body. 1t Is this
unseen dirt that plays the mischief
with human life, because 1t is alive
and can multiply indefinitely. Be-
cause Of this It can safely be as
serted that the chief unintentional
crime of our age is dirty hands
the sort of dirty hands which are
carriers of filth and disease germs.
THE pity of it is that the vic
Tins are not the dirty-handed SOW
ers of disease, but those with
whom their disease-laden hands
touch or whose good they prepare.
All the striking cases in the liter
azure concerning typhoid fever are
cooks or cooks helpers, bakers,
dairy workers, etc., occupations in
volving the constant handling of
Substances which are excellent Gull
ture media for the typhoid bacil-
lus. 81
This disease is not the only one
carried on dirty hands. for they
have been found to disseminate

enza,Sspinal meningitis, and in GER
