modern, up TO date. giant factories are
1000 per cent efficient az compared
with more antiquated methods Of in
dustry followed in many of the coun-
tries in the old world. The next thing
we must master Is the art OF play. We
must learn to relax from our stress
and tension more frequently than We
do. for we are tired nation. perhaps
the most tired nation on earth. There
il danger ahead if we don't.
The evils of our intense life, Of our
restlessness and never ceasing activity
are already beginning to manifest
themselves en- a national scale. accord
ing 10 Prof G. T. W Patrick, who dis
cusses '.The Psychology of Recreation
in the June issue Of the Popular Science
Monthly. We are becoming dancing
crazy, the professor says, not from
sheer frivoiity but from overstrain.
The tango has become an obsession
with us because we have too long
stiaed the instinct for play because
we are the most weary nation on earth.
Some Of US manage t. escape neuras-
thenia, he says. but there are few men
in the United States who are free from
chronic or acute fatigue.
But. the dangers from this national
neglect of play, according to Professor
Patrick. strike deeper even than the
tango craze. We are breaking down
mentally and morally as well as physi :

adequate relaxation in our scheme OF

MEMORY is GONE.
Case Of Guy Kelley, Victim OF Thugs,
Similar to That Of Walraven.

Special TO The Tribune
OGDEN, March 15.--unable TO master
his mental faculties sufficiently TO give
the police any lnforma tion OF value In
their search for his assallants, the case
OF Guy Kelley, victim OF a murderous as
saut who was found in the Denver ~
Rio Grande railroad yards early last fri
day morning, may prove TO be similar
to that of o. D. Walraven. Some of the
officers believe that the numerous blows
struck on the mans head with rocks
permanently affected his brain.
Although officers have visited Kelley
daily at the Dee hospital, the only lnior-
nation obtained Is to the effect that his
name Is Kelley" and that robbery prob
ably was the motive for the assault. In
his semi -delirium the injured man has
mentioned $40, but details of the attack
are not obtainabe from him at this
time With the exception OF brief periods
Kelley remains in a semi conscious con-
diton.
The blows on Kelley's head did net re-
suit in any fracture OF the skull but
there is possibility that hemorrhaSe
may yet result. There has been but little
change in his general condition since
he was removed to the hospital from
police headquarters about II O'Clock last
Friday In the case of Walraven, the
man who was thrown from a BamDerSer
electric ar last October, the lost mem
ary did not return until two months after
