COLLEGE ATHLETES
MUST TAKE CARE
DR.. Dixon Says Overindulgence
in Athletics Is Bad For
Folks in Later Years

College athletics are all right in
not to allow habits formed in sport
at college or High school to work into
their daily life. Proper exercise is
essential. but there is danger of over
strain. This is the opinion of Com
missioner of Health Dixon. In one
of his hygiene talks DR.. Dixon says:
Many a boy and girl entering col
lege dreams not alone of success as
students, but are anxious to gain rec
ognition for athletic achievements.
To warn the woung is like casting
water on burning oil and yet 1t were
well for the students who contemplate
severe training to seriously consider
as far as possible their probable oc-
cupation through life and if 1t is to
be sedentary they should refrain from
hard competitive athletics which will
develop the muscles to a degree that
cannot be kept up by the successful
lawyer, doctor. teacher, or the ma
jority of those engaged in business.
ver-training in youth is almost
certain to result in physical deteriora-
athletics is obtained by the individual
who achieves a rational all around
development. Such a training is far
more apt to stimulate one in after life
to continue those athletic exercises
which are available to the business
and professional man or woman.
No occupation should prevent the
student or the professional man from
taking reasonable amount of out
door exercise daily. If nothing else
a good swinging walk, say five to ten
miles a day in the open air will al
ways prove beneficial not only dur
ing youth but to less degree in old
age.
The young woman who goes in for
athletics should be particularly care
full. If INDUCED in to a reasonable
extent under the supervision of a
properly trained director of athletics,
exercises and sports of not too vio-
lent character will be a benefit.
Over-eXertion is apt to incur a SER
ious penalty with either sex but is
perhaps more harmful for women
than men.
The fact should be kept in mind
that exercise is a means to an end and
properly INDUCED in it should stimu-
late the body and react healthily on
the process of the brain.
For the college man or woman this
is the practical side of athletics and
the one which should be kept in mind.

It had been easy for Roleau, once
he was free of the immediate presence

his more distinguished prisoners, was
passing in the car toward the front en-
trance Of the Hotel Ritz, Roleau him.
self was speeding thither almost as
quickly through devious passageways
which led to the rear of the hotel.
Attaining entrance at the rear, he
sped up the back stairs, and found
himself once more az the apartments
of Kitty Gray.
What he saw caused even his stout
nerves to quail for the time. On the
floor before him, with face half turned
and arms outfung, lay the victim Of
the last adventure connected with the
mysterious Gretzhoffen coin
Roleau did not know this man at
first, but he seemed not of Gretzhof-
fen. Rather his garb betokened him
to come from the kindred kingdom of
Grahaffen.
Carefully, yet using that speed
which he knew was imperative, Ro-
