His method did it. Even at the present day some athletes go through a "drying out" process for a couple of days prior to the event. That is, water is withheld to a marked degree. This causes a lack of evaporation for cooling purposes on exertion and the body becomes over heated like the engine in your car, not to mention a loss of water needed for flushing irritating substances from the kidneys. Lack of water affects the nervous system first, there is a slowing of mental processes, if prolonged one may have hallu- cinations followed by unconsciouness, as has occurred in a mild way with some Marathon runners. Reducing training to its simplest form: the aver- age person knows what the plain foods are and if he eats them in quantities, dictated not by the strain on his belt, but by his appetite, he won't go, far astray. He should eat meat, eggs, milk, fish, fruit; vegetables, dereals, butter; cheese, nuts and raisins. There is{ 'nothing injurious about sweets when eaten with meals unless, because more appetizing, one eats too Imuch of them.

Verner 1 R 1 i A There is a belief by some that milk makes a person short winded. I recall a member of a crew who came in from rowing hot and thirsty, about three Weeks before the race, and reached for the milk pitcher. He was told by the Captain to "hold on!, milk is for pudding only and not to drink." He asked "why"l and was told that the doctor said that it would make him short-winded. His reply was "Huh: did he ever try to catch a calf." Staleness is often a by-product of training and means that the outgo is, or has been, more than the income. The person becomes a little sluggish mentally and physically, like the battery in a car. If more\electricity is lost than is generated the lights begin to grow dim and for any excessive use, as for instance in starting the car on a cold morning, it is more or less powerless. When a boy or team is "slipping" I think nine times out of ten they are tired. We say that physiologically a person, after pretty complete fatigue, recovers in about two hours so that he can repeat his performance, but if he pushes himself to his utmost limit after the muscles are fatigued it may take him from two to ten days to recover completely. Boys should be watched very closely during the first week of practice; as they are keyed up me tally and rather soft physically; they lame themselves and overdo very easily. I read that a prominent coach, now dead, said that when he hurried a team for an early important game that team was never a champion. By far the greater number of men who show symptoms of staleness dc not get sleep enough. They become fagged, the brain is less retentive, and they have to go over their studies too often thus consuming still more time to no pur- pose, when more sleep would remedy both conditions. I read that Barry Wood the outstanding athlete al Harvard kluring the last three years, takes very higl marks and that he does better work when in train- ing. He probably has the moral courage to use his time to the best advantage, to study and sleep when he should and not just when he feels like it. I believe that the average boy, with his restless muscles, CAN do better work mentally when in training., i ft i: n. tf Ir ea p b b Jrv0 Aronson -ilbert E.

Good May Seefried Minnie Seng Helen Spencer Kathryn Stork Cl1are Unger 'o The Editor: There are many angles from which prohibition may be tudied as those who are interested n the subject have learned before now. I am not aware to what ex- tent it has been shown that the whole matter of prohibition is nerely a glaring example of intol- erance. Focussing attention upon this point I find that the subject has been treated in masterful fashion by a Frenchman, Rene Guyon, in a book which bears the title: Re- flections on Tolerance. For my present purpose it suffices to call attention to two outstanding char- acteristics of the French people: they are realistic, that is, they keep their feet on the ground and look upon human nature as it is, not as reformers imagine it to be. The second characteristic of the French, which plays an important part in this connection is their unconquer- able spirit of liberty in all matters pertaining to private habits and tastes. In other words, the French are the most tolerant people in the world. They possess liberty-we have a statue of Liberty, but she turns her back upon us. The French book referred to con- sists of a series of disconnected paragraphs of which I have trans- lated a few. The reader will notice that the French use the word "pro- hibition" and related words in a wider sense than is current with us. With' them, it applies not only to drink, but to anything which may be forbidden or censored.'Both censorship and prohibition are con- demned in the strongest terms by M. Guyon, a condemnation in com- plete harmony with French ideals generally. I. One of the most active forms of modern intolerance is legal pro- hibition. II. Nothing is too big or too little for the prohibitionist. He attacks everything: tobacco, sex, drinnk, dress, the movie, dancing, card- playing, certain great classics, etc. He tries to suppress them all and so turns life into an existence even more drab than it is, already with- out his unwarranted activities. III. The prohibitionist puts on the grave air of the doctors and tells you of his great concern for your health-but he kills.you with restrictions between two yawns. As for choosing one form of death or another, is it best that we perish dried up, cramped and crabbed? 17 V * LJ U m. 17 in with are the CASH and CAD / S o n v.Ba1119 $o. University 4 620 E.

WAY NUT MEATS WHOLESALE-RETAIL oh LS S uits c Kary tarin Helen Olsen Mary Elizabeth Watts NIGHT EDITOR-JAMES INGLIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1932 CLEANED AND PRESSED CLEANED AND PRESSED No War c Yith pg V~i~iJqpan CONTRARY to the popular conception, the United States will not enter into a war with, Japan, it was made clear by Admiral William1 V. Pratt in a statement yesterday. Many peo-1 ple have been exceedingly worried over the prospect of 3another war but there is little basis for such fears. - The government. at Washington, while in- tending to see to the safety of its nationals, does not expect 1 to adopt any such violently jingoistic attitude as 'would lead to a declara- tion of war against Japan. The protest of the United States to the Tokio government was principally directed toward the protection of the residents of the international settlement. Admiral Pratt, who is in general charge of the operations of the American ships stationed around Shanghai, said in his statement, "Our fleet will be ready to evacuate our nationals or to protect thetn if a crisis arises where mob rule prevails. Our forces will go in and take whatever steps are necessary to protect our people." While not eliminating the possibility of American soldiers and sailors engaging in fighting with the Japanese, this official release should set at rest the fears of those who are afraid that we will be forced into an open and offensive war. It is made clear that protection of Americans and their property is the only purpose of sending the navy to Shanghai. There are a large number of women and children among the foreign residents of the city and it is imperative that these be protected in the case, which is not at all unlikely, that either the Chinese or the Japanese troops or the frantic natives of the city become panic- stricken and seek to enter the international settlement. This would naturally bring the Americans into direct conflict with the invad- ing armies but would not necessarily jeopard- ize the United States nor place us in such a position that war would be inevitable. Furthermore, the United States has sent only four destroyers to Shanghai, whereas the Japanese have some 40 vessels in and near the city. When the Chinese announce that they may be forced to occupy the international set- tlement as long as the Japanese make it the base of their operations, we will have to escort our nationals to safety. But war? No. Healthn Education TRAINING A Special Article on Training prepared by Dr. Frank Lynan Representative of the Health Service in the Care of Physical Education and Athletic Inter- est. (Dr. Lynam was a Harvard Oarsman and has since maintained an active participation in varied sports both as a performer and as a physician.) Diets have come more to the front since college athletics have become prominent. One man advo- cated chewing all food fifty times to the bite. He had charge of a prominent college crew but unfortunately -~ ! +hcer hn f . a~ rp A'nnthD, . YO11vVlAwnrPr Injuries are undesirable in every way, even small degrees of lameness of the arms and legs are tiring, to the nervous system, even if not sufficiently severe to lay one off. They take the "tuck'" out of a person. In the few years since I have been at Michigan, I have never heard a coach demurr when I have said that I thought a man ought not play. I have gen-) erally explained why and the coaches have apparent-' ly agreed with me, waiting patiently or otherwise until the boy was judged fit to play again. By the way, athletes heart is a popular myth. Occasionally I see a boy wio is "slipping" and I find that he is not getting proper food; 'a favorite idea is to go without breakfast making eighteen hours between supper and his next meal. Some like foods that have much in bulk, but too little in nour- ishment. I remember one big fellow who Was laid off the Varsity squad for two weeks, we changed his diet and he went back and played an excellent game for the rest of the season. Ttaining or keeping fit is just common sense put to use AT THE WHITNEY Auspicious press notices have accompanied pre- vious showings of "Die Foersterchristl," German all- talking production selected for the opening attrac- tion at the Whitney under its new policy to go into operation today. The first performance of the pic- ture is scheduled for a matinee at 3 o'clock today.- The plotof "Die Foersterchistl," which is based on the life of the composer Mozart, concerns the ro- ma tic adventures of the daughter of a forester living in the vicinity of Vienna in breaking into the royal society of the Emperor Josef. The picture is a love story, much of the action of which is laid in the royal palace of Austria during the eighteenth century. In adition to the feature, three shorts are offered on the Whitney program, including one of the Nat Shilkret series, "The VRusic Master," taken from inci- dents in the life of Beethoven; Gorno's Marionettes, and a travelogue of China are also on the bill. AT THE MAJESTIC Incredible as it may seem, a travelogue-a real travelogue-has been produced that is genuinely in- teresting. -It is "Around the World in 80 Minutes," produced, directed, and starred in by Douglas Fair- banks, Sr., and it is packed with all the lusty thrills so charactexiistic of the productions of the elder Fair- banks, who handsprings and cartwheels his way from Hollywood to India and flies back in four minutes to the accompaniment of some of the best trick photo- graphy on record. The monologue, read by Fairbanks himself, that follows the movement of the film, is exceptionally brilliant, even for that veteran of the screen, who, very adroitly prevents the production from becoming a vehicle exclusively for the exploitation of its chief character by injecting a certain amount of burlesque into the continuity and submitting to a little self- ridicule. The other half of the double bill, "This Reckless Age," would be as bad as it sounds if it weren't for' the fact that Charles Ruggles does what may well be called the funniest performance of his career to earn sti~ a h nf Pual, m lnr~v rnanl' .h'"rmiahmi+ . .L' t i~r CLEANED AND BLOCKED TRY OUR CURB SERVICE 5 ,,t t t' ;r _. x; o '..a..'. s r, ', i i s ........... n w ..2~_ . _...a { _i i = ..,. 'IE f t ]i IV.e LUS exual1CW111utlC1,1 various prohibitions in ancient and modern times. Whether it be a, question of the existence of God of the fashion of short skirts, what the prohibitionists are after in their tireless attacks is always the liberty of thinking for oneself, of living for oneself, of not conform- ing servily to some philosophical or social watchword. V. The only advice that tolerance permits us to offer is this: make use of everything according to your tastes and according to the indica- tions of a rational hygiene-but never abuse anything. It is the duty of tolerance to hate every system that lives on constant med- dling with the private regime of others. VI. To condemn at the same time the use and abuse of something, is the mark of a narrow mind. VII. When a philosophy of re- nunciation profits by circumstances to impose upon others its own pro- hibitionist discipline, it is no longer the legimitate expression of a con- vction, but the instrument of a mischievous tyranny. VIII. Prohibitionism is justly ac- cused of being a deliberate tyranny. For, in a free society, no one pre- vents people from abstaining as rigorously as they desire; but there are those who are not satisfied with this, and whose sickly desire aims at extending their own ab- stention to those who do not wish to abstain. IX. In order to cause the triumph of the vile, pestering, and shallow need of meddling with the conduct of others, the prohibitionist makes use of the proud word of the law. This is the mediocre satisfa tion sought by all those assekialionsl who mean to impose upon others, without discussion, their own pre- feirnees cin the matter'of peitinpy.
