YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FTSHBEIN

Medical Association and of lily.

When the marathon dancing
craze attracted public attention a
few months ago, people began to
view with alarm the participants in
these exhibitions.
One physician who observed
1o2 participants in a contest tina,
extended 1852 hours has made
available record of his expert
ence in the journal Of the Indiana
State Medical Association.
The dancers moved themselves
about for 40 minutes and then

breathing system guarantees
freedom from disease.

moved from the floor in hospital
carts; usually they We're asleep
before they reached their train
ing quarters. During the first ten
days the chief complaints were
sore feet, blisters, callouses, corns
and bunions, although many OF
the dancers suffered with inflam-
nations Of the eyelids.
Mental Attitude
The first disturbance of the
body OF serious importance no.
ticed was change IN the mental
state after ten days, when the con-
testants began to become hilari-
Gus, depressed, or irritable. These
changes in temperament We're the
result Of continuous exhaustion.
At such times the dancers
seemed to be semi-conscious, some
of them suffered with decisions o,
Authorizations and some of then
were SO cloudcd mentally tina,
they did not seem to know wher,
they were.
A young widow developed 9
mental condition known as ex.
haustion psychosis, becoming hi
larious and bursting into tears al.
ternately. and developing the de.
fusion that she was being main.

Most of the contestants de.
Veloped a fail in the blood pres.

the heart did not seem to be per.
manently disturbed in any way.
Test of Fatigue
After all such dances prove
nothing of value to scientific med.
lcine. since conditions of severe
fatigue occurring in industry OF
associated with remarkable ath.
leuc feats provide a far better
test of what the human constitu.
ton can undergo and still recover.
Such studies made in the pas,
affirm again and again the re.
markble factors of safety thai
exist in the human body and the
tremendous ability that it has tC
overcome severe damage if river
half a chance.

The Kindly Decd
BY Thorntoa W. Burgess

Reddy Fox limped slowly home.
There would be no hunting that
night for Reddy. He had been care
less and he had lost a toe in a
dreadful steey trap. OF course. 1t
had panied him a great deal at
first, but the cold had brought a
blessed numbness and, as he limped
along. his foot did not pain him SO
much. But he couldn't run on that
foot and so there could be no hunt
ing that night. Poor Reddy! He felt
nearly starved as 1t was. What
should he do? He would just have
to grin and bear it. that was all.
Now, ~ he approached home, he
met Mrs. Reddy just starting out.
OF course, she saw that something
was the matter and right away
Reddy told her what had happened.
He warned her that there might be
ether traps and she must watch
out.
Good luck, my dear, good luck
in the hunting" said Reddy. as he
crept into the house, hungry and
miserable.
Mrs. Reddy hurried away. She
had started out to hunt for herself.
but now she intended to hunt for
Reddy. too. 'Poor Reddy!" she
thought. ut would be bad enough
to have such = thing happen at any
time, but to have 1t happen now
when We are half starved is really
dreadful. l simply must get some
thing for him tonight"
It was the next day that Farmer
Browns Boy took 1t into his head
to 60 up in the Old Pasture. 1t was
the first time he had been up that
winter. Now. the trapper had al
ready visited his trap and found
Reddy's toe in 1t. He knew that It
would be useless to reset that trap
right there, SO he had taken it up
Ind reset 1t at another point. In do

wonder who's been up here
thought he, land what for" He
followed the tracks. So he came to
the place where the trap had first
been set. He saw the disturbance
in the anow. He saw some drops of
blood on the snow. Looking around
carefully. he saw Reddy's tracks
approaching that place and then
leaving there. He saw right away
that Reddy had been using only
three feet when he left and he dis
covered little spots Of blood on the
snow.

thought Farmer Browns Boy. He
could have had nothing to eat
through the storm and now that he
has a hurt foot he has little chance
to get anything to eat. Ia like to GO
straight over to that tranner's and
TELL him what ] think of him. But
guess the first thing to do is to go
back home and get some food for

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-

The Mazim Gorky Colony for
Homeless Children, which is located
in a former monastery at Rizhovo
Station not far from Kharkov, the
capital of the Ukraine, has been
in existence for eight years.
Within its ancient walls over four
hundred homeless orphans, children
and youths, find friendly shelter
and comfortable lodging and become
useful members of society. Former
thieves, ruffians, and even bandits
and murderers have earned here the
honored title of workingmen. Their
earnest, painstaking labor has turned
the seventy hectares belonging to the
institution into model farm, where
sweet "Duchesse" pears and the
world-famed "Ukrainka" wheat are
grown in winter and magnificent
chrysanthemums bloom in autumn,
while fat carp are bred in the ar
tificial ponds.
The same hands that formerly
welded the clasp-knife have built
barns for the cattle with the stones
of ruined monastery walls and have
equipped the pride of the colony
woodworking shop, which is a real
factory where hundreds of children
fill important orders, such, for in
stance, as 100000 wooden cases for
the Donetz coal mines.
The children have converted the
old church into a club, where extern
sive educational, cultural and art
work is done, as one result Of which
illiteracy has been entirely elimin-
ated. Over fifty inmates have been
sent from the colony school to fac
tory schools, workers high schools
("rabfacs"), and higher institutions
in Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev and other
Ukrainian cities. Many children
