To determine what happens to the enlarged heart of the athlete, two Oerman Investigators. Drs. Felix Deutoch and Em 11 Kauf of the heart station In Vienna, extended their observations ovgr a period of five years, examining repeatedly athletes who hsd shown enlargement of the heart following competitive training. Four hundred and forty alx athlete were examined torn four to six times. For Instance, on oarsman was first examined after he had had a half year training in rowing.

He then rowed lee strenuously for a year and followed thl with some track training, after which there wa again four month of th hardest kind of training In row At this time he developed marked palpitation of the heart after rowing, and It waa found that hla heart hsd enlarged in size. He waa permitted to continue hla training tentatively for two week, during which his heart apparently accommodated Itself to new condition so that all of th symptom disappeared. Evidently the heart had enlarged to accomodate new demands and wa able to compensate for these demands when th demand were continued. The observer were also able to study the heart of some persons who hsd been examined fifteen years before by another Investigator. Apparently the heart of some of th athlete had enlarged steadily over that period.

A physician 43 year old i who had been a champion swimmer and athlete up to th age of 43 had a sufficient change to Indicate actual damage to. the heart. On th whole, th outstanding observation waa that th heart does not vary greatly during a period of at least four year of athletics, sometime five. In which th heart will develop rapidly and return to normal. Sometime the enlargement la Indicated by symptoms of palpitation, difficulty in breathing and a feeling of weight over'th heart, but in most Instance the complaints ara so slight and so little noticed that th person train on without disturbing htmaelf about them.

Th physician believe that rt Is wise to study th heart in athlete regularly and to find out whether or not an enlarged heart show a tendency to increase In size or to remain unchanged. If It tend to decrease or to remain for tome time unchanged, the person msy be allowed to proceed' with exercise but under careful control. The age of th Individual concerned la important. With adequate medical inspection, athletic training may be permitted to every person who 'possesses requisite) muscular development irrespective of hi age. The danger of competition for the young aeemt to have been somewhat exaggerated, but athletic activities of men well on In adult life should not the crandall hetresf picture In re be permitted without rigid control.

The Parker Phoenix, a weekly newspaper, make th following plea for the marriage of more than fifty widow who live In that town: "There 1 no good reason why the numerous bachelor and widower of thl community ahould carry on a life of single blesaedneu when more than a half hundred merry wldowa and a score of handsome maiden ladle of marriageable age may be had If the proper course Is pursued. "Are you aware that ther are more than fifty widow residing In thl city who, It 1 said, may be wooed, won and wed by some gay Lothario?

His knee brushed hers, and she shrank farther awy from him, but he could not tear her eye away from his face. An hour ago those lips hsd pressed down upon hers and she had almost swooned with delight. Now the very thought of his mouth upon hers brought disgust.

Why hadn't she seen before that It was a cruel, selfish mouth Bhs itudled hi face if she hsd never seen It before. It was terrible to feel th scales falling from her eyes, to feel love and passion draining out of her heart and body, Ilk blood spurting out of an opened vem. "Why," she marveled to herself, "he not fit to touch th paper that Jerry's letter I written on." She wanted to snatch the letter from his hands. He waa making low, animal sounds of bewilderment and fury as he read, but ahe did not listen. Nothing he could My now seemed Important to her, Just so he would let her go when she nad convinced him that ahe wa not the prize he had been so sure of bagging.

"So you're Just a cheap little crook Be raised his eyes from the letter snd looked her up and down with searing contempt. "Thought you'd rope In a rich husband "Hush she cried, raising her clenched fists a if to strike him.

"Oh, yes, you wer clever; all right! I'll have to hand It to you!" the man she had loved sneered at her.

"You weren't taking any chance on going to Jail for Illegally Impersonating another woman, but mad damned sure that nobody would take you seriously when you said you were Vera Cameron. Sank your hooks Into me th minute you got here, came between me and the girl I would have married" He wa plunging on recklessly, making no slightest effort to uve his own face. Vee Vee, listening to him In mounting horror, knew that he no longer conaldered her worth uch an effort. "You'll have to admit, Mr. Schuler fortune hunter, that you had Intended to take Nan Foedlck's million until I came along with 40 millions, as you thought?" Her voice was a whiplash of scorn.

"I admit nothing. I don't have to admit anything you!" he lashed at her. 'YouH have to' admit, Mr. Bhuler B. Smith, "that I told you of my own free will and aecord that I was not Vivian Crandall.

that I Insisted upon convincing you rr." a "Yes, when I told you the truth about my own financial condition," he Jeered, his mouth twisting tilde ously. "I wasn't big enough game for you. You hsd to tslk fsst or I'd hsve married you! Good Oodl I'd have married a cheap little crook, masqutrsdlng as one of the richest belresse In Amrlcl No, you aren't cheap!" he amended bitterly, banging his clenched fist against the whsel of th car, "That would have been a rich Joke on you, wouldn't It?" Vee Vee asked, with (tinging arcaam. "Well, Mr. Smith you see.

I know your real name; have known It from th first dsy: have known slso that you were only a secretary like myself that you saved money all year for thl splurge. And yet," her vole changed In spite of herself. "I loved you anyway, thought you might be glad that I was poor, like yourself Why.

"You're not fit to touch It or to say hla name Give It to me, I say!" She struggled with him for the crackling sheet, succeeded In tearing them from his hand.

When shs had them at last, eh leaned tar over th aide of the car, tearing them Into tiny bits, flinging them away on th brisk eight braes. "Now," ah pented. facing him defiantly, her green eyes blazing In the dark like an angry cat', "what are you going to do, Mr. Smith?" "I'm golnfto take you back to th Mlnnetonka and turn you over to the detective who are waiting for you." he told her roughly. "Finer" she applauded sarcastically.

They might chuckle snd say that Vivian Crandall had simply outsmarted another fortune hunter She left the sentence In the air, a smile tugging at the dimple in the left corner of her mouth.

The man Jerked up his head and tared at her. at first Incredulously, then with horror horror of himself, of his own stupidity. He gulped, clawed at his collar with trembling finger, closed hi eyes and shook his head as If to dispel some frightful vision. Vee Vee watched him with malicious amusement, behind which lay pain and shame for her own shattered dream. "Vivian," Schuyler Smyth began brokenly, reaching out a shaking hand to her, "you're cruel, but, God.

you're clever) And I fell Into the trap. Poor fool that I ami You said Just now that you had fallen In love with me at sight, that you hsd been glad that I was poor. Can you ever forgive me? Vivian I Vee Vee. you heartless tittle darling" "Don't be a fool," ahe commanded him sharply, th smile wiped from her mouth by disgust. "You've played the fool once too often tonight a It Is," she added cryptically.

She had mad up her mind In a twinkling to save herself at any cost. If he was stupid snough to believe that Jerry' letter had been a hoar', perpetrated for th testing of his love, ahe would make use of his stupidity and egotism to get out of. the trap Into which she had stepped so Innocently. Believing her to be Vlvlsn Crandall, or at least In doubt of her Identity, he would do anything he told him to, humbly, hoping to re establish htm self in ber good grace.
