will With Speculations as to Temperature at Which Ideas Congeal Water said a man who writes things for a living freezes at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit At what temperature the springs of the mind close up I dont know precisely because it may vary with different people but I should say at about 66 degrees I know that In a room colder than that I cant write My study has a side wall with a western exposure cold ln this part of the world the west winds of winter And my study wall is not one of the kind you read about occasionally when they are tearing down some old building a brick wall twelve or sixteen Inches thick and so stoutly cemented together that they have to tear it apart brick by brick with pickaxes or blow it up with dynamite No it ls a modern thin brick wall through which If the wind doesnt ex acty blow It does seem sort of to Beep with the result that the atmosphere on my side of It on mornings such as weve been having lately may be conservatively characterized as chilly On a number of mornings I have started work in my brain laboratory with the thermometer at 60 degrees but I find that at such a temperature my Ideas are still tight frozen it Is not until the thermometer gets up to 66 degrees in fact that they begin to flow at all and then they flow but very very slowly about as fast as gum exudes from a tree or for the benefit of those not familiar with aboriculture about as fast as the old fashioned thick dark colored molasses flows out of the molasses barrel ln a grocery store in winter At 60 degrees my fancies become somewhat more fluid and encouraged by that I get up andput on my overcoat and my arctic overshoes with the result of raising my bodily temperature by keeping the heat in about four degrees in eight minutes I know that I could better that by putting a fur cap on my head but somehow I feel that putting on Mike Murphy the Pennsylvania Trainer Says that There Is None College athletic trainers are of many kinds being for the most part men who have worked their way up to their places through hard experience The oldest of them all ls Mike Murphy at present at Pennsylvania Murphy is not one of the I men who train by rule of thumb He is familiar with medicine and It ls an odd thing to hear Murphy and some of his athletes who are in the medical school discussing the problems that occur ln the courses It Is perhaps the more amusing ln that Murphy is rather deaf He has been for some years but his deafriess has Increased greatly of late Any one who wants to speak to him has to shout at the top of his lungs Im not much of a one to tell secrets to Murphy says with a smile One of his men was telling Murphy recently that a Michigan athlete had been forced to quit running because of a weak heart That Isnt so Mike replied In all my years of training I never knew an athlete who had a weak heart They may suffer from Indigestion and from other difficulties but their hearts are stronger than those of any other men One time we had an experiment here A doctor took a man who had no athletic experience and put him out on the track to walk a half mile in five minutes Before he started the doctor drew a diagram on his chest outlining the size of the heart After he finished the dqctor drew another which showed that the heart had enlarged by the width of two fingers and a half Then he put out Fetterman the old intercollegiate walker to go a mile in seven minutes At the end Fettermans heart had enlarged half the width of a finger An experiment was tried with runners Aleck Grant the distance runner showed radically no increase after going a fair hard mile while the effect on the non runners was great It stands to reason that the heart be TO NIGHT BEST SEATS 50 NOVEL MAGNIFICENT GOOD SEATS EDUCATIONAL
