DANCE MARATHON.

COMPETITION STOPPED BY HEALTH AUTHORITIES.

An endurance dance marathon in an elimination contest for a £200 prize was stopped by the city health authorities of Los Angeles with ten couples still on the floor.

The authorities, after the num ber of contestants had narrowed from the 350 starting couples to the twenty surviving dancers, ruled that continuation of the contest might prove permanently Injurious to the girl participants.

The throng of dancers twenty- one hours previously had started at a beach baliroom from which they continued over street pavementa fer a fifteen-mile waltz and fox- trot into a city dance hall.

Music from orchestra on motor- trucks moved along ahead of them. Several girls collapsed during the forenoon. One male dancer also fell with an attack diagnosed as appendicitis.
