sPECTATORITIs

TOM MARSHALL said that what
4 this country needed was a good
five-cent cigar. What 1t needs more
is a good game in which anyone and
everyone can take part. We are suf-
fering as nation from what the
health commissioner of one of our
largest cities very aptly calls "spec-
tatoritis." There are too few playing
and too many occupying grandstand
and bleacher seats. During the beau
tiful days of summer, thousands of
men. most Of them middle aged, many
of them too Cat and with muscles that
are crying for exercise. sit on the
benches and watch a few other men
play baseball. When fall comes and
the baseball season closes, the same
men sit in the grandstand and watch
% men play football. Or it may be
wrestling match or boxing contest
or six-day bicycle race or billiard
the work Thousands are looking on.
The players are trained to the
minute. To be q star baseball player
or a crack halfback. they have de-
velOped their bodies far beyond the
needs of present-day life. This means
that their hearts are twice as large as
they need and that by middle life,
when they ought to be in their prime,
they have fatty instead of muscular
hearts. Athletes generally die young.
The looker-on doesn't take any
chances of a fatty heart He has his
fat around his waist. His muscles are
fiabby and he doesn't have a good
sweat from muscular exertion once a
year
SO the IS ball players or the 30 foot
ball men overwork and shorten their
lives TO amuse the thousands of spec
tators who underwork and shorten
theirs.
Sounds silly, doesn't it? 1t is. The
object OF games Is not to produce
stars, any more tilan the object Of eat
ing Is to produce men who can eat
four times as much food as the aver
age man. Our present system of ath-
letics is killing Off our picked young
men at a time when they should be in
their prime. The hundreds of thou
sands of spectators who pay to sit still
and see other men work when they
should be working themselves are kid
ding themselves. You can't keep fit by
watching another man work, any more
than you can keep strong by watching
another man eat.
Can't some wide awake American in
vent universal game? We need 1t In
our schools and colleges and more than
all in our everyday lives.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL.
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
x-RAY FOR WHooPINC
COUCH

DURING the winter of 1923 there
was an unusual amount Of whoop-
ing cough in this country. Ordinarily.
this disease kills about ten thousand
babies q year. This is bad enough,
but every four or five years for some
reason, 1t is particularly prevalent.
Evidently, 1923 was one of these
years.
Existing methods of treatment are OF
little use. Once contracted, the dis
ease runs it's course of from four to
nine weeks. The frequent spasms OF
coughing, exhaust and weaken the
child, who often develops pneumonia
and dies. Indirectly but none the less
actually. victim of whooping cough.
We do not know the exact cause OF
this disease. We do know, however,
that in most cases. the thymus gland,
located in front of the bronchial tubes
and trachea Is considerably enlarged.
This gland, which corresponds to the
sweetbread in the calf. is large during
early life, but shrinks after the first
fifteen years, until in the adult there,
Is left only fibrous cord. 1t has long
been surmised that this enlarged gland.
pressing on the air tubes, might have
something to do with the spasms Of
coughing
While treating these enlarged glands
with X-ray 1t was noticed that. soon
after the light treatments were begun,
the spells Of coughing were relieved.
So DR.. Ralph Leonard, Of Boston. de-
cided to test the value of X-ray treat
ment in a large number Of baby pa
tients in the Boston Floating hospital.
Four hundred babies with whooping
cough were selected and carefully ex-
amined, so that there might be no
question about the existence of the
disease Two hundred were also care
fully examined, as s0-called control
cases. All were given the same care
under the same surroundings, except
that four hundred were given X-ray
treatment. and two hundred were not
OF the children treated, IS per cent
showed marked improvement. In chill
dren under one year, 100 per cent
were benefited.
Used in the early days of the disease,
the X-ray does not prevent the cough
ing nor does it shorten the disease. In
children under two years. however, in
those not given N-ray treatment. the
disease lasted nine weeks, while those
given the X-ray treatment were well in
five weeks. AS the death rate is higher
the longer the disease lasts, this short.
ening of che duration doubtless saved
many babies lives.
This number is by far the largest
that has ever been treated by N-ray.
After long experience and careful
study, the opinion Of all the doctors
on the staff of the hospital was that
the X-ray was the best means at pres
ont known for controlling the spasms
in whooping cough and for shortening
the duration Of the disease.

Approve Simplicity of
Little Youthful Frock

After all is said and done, 1t is the
straight little youthful frock that holds
first place in feminine affections. And
in its utter simplicity, its freedom from
useless and superfluous details, it fit
tingly interprets the modern spirit.
Social life is much more informal
than it was decade ago and the scope
of women's activities has widened, all
of which has had an effect upon
fashion.
During the war women became more
or less dependent upon the dress that
was appropriate for all hours of the
day, that was practical and useful and
That they still remain faithful to
dresses of this type is proved by the
newest models.
An important feature of these sim
pie dresses is the excellence of the
material used and the cleverness dis
played in their trimming. A touch of
color a line of tiny metal buttons. a
row of braid, or an outline of piping
are all that is allowed in the way of
decoration. W
An example of the best of these sim
pie frocks was made of kasha in the
pale natural tone that Paris took up in
the latter part Of the summer and
which quickly attained decided
vogue on this side of the water. The
cleverly cut overskirt forms pockets
and the necessary bit of color was
supplied in the black and gold embroid-

around the throat to give the effect of

coat with plaid. or of using one of the

modes and one that has achieved Il de-

Appreciate Color,
Line, Accessories
Distinguished Appearance
Of Women Due to Their
Keen Judgment.

If women have not learned perfec-
ton In the art of dress they are not
far from 1t. One glance at a group OF
smart women, says correspondent In
the Kansas City STAR will quickly es-
tablish the fact that their distinguished
appearance Is due in d great measure
to keen appreciation Of color, to a
knowledge Of line, and to a sense of
fitness in the choice of accessories.
There is clean-cut defiIiiteness about
the silhouette Of the season that is
most intriguing and the effect of
svelte slimness adds an intangible air
Of distinction.
In the modern woman's scheme of
things sartorial there is no such thing
as buying hat or dress or coat with
out considering its relation to every
part of the costume The result is 9
harmoniousness that is infinitely chic.
In plaids designers have found ma

of youth and it is not surprising to
