The World and All

By Charles r. Driscon

Unfortunately, | have never had the pleasure Of
De rsonal acquaintance with a marathon dancer, a flag
pole sitter. a champion pie-eater, or a long-distanee
piano player. | suppose these folk have something 20
commend them. They can hardly be as foolish as they
look and act.
Probably n couple can dance three hundred hours
and afterwards marry and rear children, 20 to the
movies, grow old, and die respectfully. ! suppose the
funeral Of a marathon dancer differs in no outward
respect from that of a professor of Latin at a minor
college. The professor and the dancer will have about
the same number Of friends and mourners.
But, just the same, ] cannot appreciate the psy-
chology Of the marathon dancers. I cannot conceive an
idea that will explain to me why any person above the
mentality Of a cricket will waddle around on a floor
night and day for a week or so, while disguised spec
tators pay admission fees to see the depressing sighs'
Humans. Of course. have a native urge to exhibit
themselves. Savages stick sharpened bones through
their noses 50 that people may look at them and say,
What a fright Mrs. Glubglub looks, with that old
fashioned bone through her nose!"
Primitive people love to make holy shows OF them
selves. The more enterprising will cripple themselves
in some frightful manner, so that persons going along
the road will turn away in disgust at sight Of them.
These foolish savages think it Is better to be noticed
with disgust than not to be noticed at all.
Perhaps you have known very young children who
have made themselves unsightly in order to attract at
tention. Daubed their faces with ink. or even bumped
their heads against a wall, so that people might laugh
at them or pity them. Anything rather than OBJ
security.
This comes the nearest to explaining the marathon
dancers OF any example l can think Of. But one must
be very primitive and childish indeed to yearn for such
notoriety as these people get through torturing them
selves into total physical exhaustion.
Undoubtedly these misguided persons delight in
the staring Of the crowds and in the knowledge that
their names are in the papers. But what a price to
pay for such furnished glory! Well, as | said before. I
simply cannot understand it.
