for disagreement. Governor pSn~
Moody favors a State party plank
declaring loyalty to the national

the dancer is not conscious OF exhaustion.
At the same time the strange fantastic sense
Of lightness seems to affect the brain OF the
dancer. He goes on and on, and believes he can
continue forever. (All these symptoms were r.
vealed among the dancers At the New York en-.
durance contests, which ran for almost five hum
dred hours, with fifteen-minute rests periods 1t
the end Of every hour.)
But once the dancer leaves the floor, knowing
he is finished the reaction starts. His worn-out
nerves and muscles begin to avenge themselves.
As for his heart action-well. its strength -
likely to be permanently impaired.
The reactions of the modern dancers that !
have just enumerated undoubtedly explain
phase of the dancing orgies Of the middle ages,
which used to sweep Europe. Those dances
were generally associated with religious super.
sttion-men and women saw visions and told
others that the heavens opened to them. But
they frequently died once they stopped dancing.
While they were dancing they became light
headed and the easy prey OF illusions. which
frequently follow intense and continued fatigue.
One phenomenon has presented itself during
the dance contests which offers an interesting
suggestion for the scientist. In many instances
it was the feminine partner who preserved her
nerve, and had to slap her male partner IN the
face to keep him moving. The women. with rare
exceptions manifested less hysteria than the
men, This the physician really expects. For b
knows that women have far greater power o.
resistance than men, as well a. greater capacity
for withsta nding pain.
