NEW YORK, April 17. —Long distance, non-stop dancers may emerge with records of doubtful value, but they are running the risk of permanently impairing their health. It is deadly stuff this strain of 30 and even 65 hours on the heart, a delicate and most vital organ. The energy is exhausted and not renewed by rest, sleep or proper nourishment. The effects could not be other than disastrous. It is cruel and an outrageous thing that the young people are permitted to hold such contests. Why, you can kill a dog simply by keeping it awake and active for a day or two. The effects of two and three days' continuous dancing may be almost as serious for the human system. A weak heart and disturbed circulation will invariably result from "marathon dancing" contests. In some instances the effect will be immediate. In others it may not appear for several years. The nervous system also suffers in the reaction for the physical exhaustion. If they dance now, to such excess, they will pay the fiddler in dilated hearts and wrecked nerves.
