DANCING FOR HEALTH.
A Waltz Equals a Half Mile, and a
Ball Equals Thirty Miles.

From the London Medical Press and Circular
Dancing is a pastime proper to the sea-
sons unfavorable to outdoor sport, and
apart from its social advantages it is en-
titled to regard If only by reason of the
muscular exercise which it entails, since
this is indispensable to health A corre-
spondent, who is also an amateur statis-
tician, has taken the trouble to calculate
the distance covered ~ dancers in the
course of evening. He finds that a
waltz of average duration represents ap-
proximately run of a thousand yards
This is the longest dance, with the excep-
ton Of the quadrille. which. with its four
figures, covers nearly 1,S0O yards The
maZurka is only equivalent to about SO
yards. and the polka to 500. while the lazy
pas de quatre is barely 700 yards.
Carrying his statistical ingenuity still
further, he estimates that the usual series
of dances at an ordinary ball beginning at
10 I'm. and finishing at 3 Am. represents
no less than $4,000 steps, equivalent to
nearly thirty miles on level ground Ad-
mitting that dancers are few in these de-
generate days who go conscientious,y
through the entire list of dances provided
that each man land woman) who does his
Tor herr duty accomplishes a very respecta-
BILE amount of celebrating exercise. The
value of exercise from physiological point
Of view is greatly enhanced by its exhila-
rating effects, and this is one reason-why
the daily "constitutionaI' fails to Yield the
health-giving effects of cycling golf or
named being the lack of fresh air and sun
light, which add so materially to the en-
joyment and salutary effects of all forms
Of outdoor exercise.

POLICE TO BE DISCHARGED.

Mrs. Squiers. wife of the American minis

a footman on the box, to call upon the wife
of the French minister at the Hotel Ingla-

FATE OF PRIVATE BILLS.
Method Of Disposing of Pet Measures
in House of Commons.

Tofh the i<onuon fApreSS
How many visitors to the strangers gall
lery OF. the house Of commons have remain
ed after the close of a debate at midnight
to witness the little parliamentary comedy
that follows the clash of oratorical steel
and the noise and turmoil of a heated dis
cussion? To appreciate the play you must
know something of the peculiar laws which
regulate the proceedings of the elect of the
people.
A great party division has taken place:
the tellers have reported the result to Mr..
Speaker: and Mr.. Speaker in turn. has
duly communicated the figures to the
house A surging mass of members now
pours out of the chamber with much noise
and confusion, leaving behind a score of
legislators who. dotted here and there on
the green benches. look as If they had been
left high and dry by the receding tidal
wave of humanity.
Each member who remains grasps firmly
in his hand the orders of the day, and
every one of the devoted band leans in at
tentive attitude toward the speakers chair.
An Irish representative quietly leaves his
own territory below the gangway and posts
himself behind the front opposition bench.
In the seats Of the orthodox. this strategi-
cal movement being regarded with evident
apprehension by a waiting unionist. The
meaning of these preparations is familiar
enough to the parliamentarian. The rules
OF the house of commons lay down that no
opposed business shall be taken after mid
night on an ordinary day. or after half
past 5 on Friday, on which day the house
rises at g.
Now the great ma ajorty of the bills intro
duced by private members have no earthly
chance of coming before the house for ade-
Quate discussion. The only hope their par
ents cherish is that they may be able to
push these legislative bantlings through
after midnight an ordinary day or be-
tween half-past and on Friday. But
they know to their sorrow that the least
important member of the house by the SIM
pie process of raising his hat and uttering
the shibboieth. Il object" may effectually
dash their hopes to the ground.
Ice cream (Scotland) bill" the clerk at
the table reads from the list.
Now, sir" cries the sponsor of the meas
ure Indicated.
"The question is that this bill be now
read second time" says Mr.. Speaker
| whereupon member on the other side In
| terposes with Il object" and the parent of
the ill-starred ice cream bill resignedly
essay to get his project advanced The
clerk reads out the name of another bill;
but the member in charge, espying the IA
miliar face of an inveterate opponent of
his legislative child. abandons the attempt
to get it through now" and after fixing
another date departs with a sigh.
The list is long one. but relentless fate
pursues every project set out therein. Now
and again there is a little incident to en-
l1Ven the monotonouS work of destruction.
A member who has sat up MANY a weary
night with his bantling emits an "Oh-h" of
mingled pain and disgust when he sees it
once more thrust back, but his wall of pro-
test fails to touch the adamantine heart of
the objecting one.

THE GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
British Policy Attacked in the House
of Commons.

During the discussion of the appropriation
bill in the British house Of commons yes
terday the government was severely criti-
cised by various members regarding its
policy in Europe and in China. 1t was
stated that Lord Salisbury had auarreled
with France and Spain, had alienated Tur-
key, had driven Italy into the arms of
France and had failed to resist Russia,
while persistently courting Germany with
obsequious compliance and one sided secret
treaties.
In the course Of general reply viscount
Cranborne. under secretary of the foreign
office, made an illuminative reference to
the treaty with Germany by saying that II
a secret treaty existed 1t was secret there
fore 1t followed necessarily that the govern
ment could not publish the terms thereof.
He denied the alleged quarrels with Euro
pean powers. declaring that the position of
Great Britain was in way insecure and
that her influence was high. The govern
ment was striving, said Viscount Gran
borne, to restore normal state of affairs
In China as speedily as possible. He thought
the sooner Shanghai was evacuated by the
was no reason why they should stay. The
government had proposed evacuation to
other powers, but it was quite impossible
for Great Britain to evacuate alone. In
that. as in all other respects. Great Britain
must have the most favored nation treat
ment The government had hoped that ne
gotiations for commercial treaty would
be successfully concluded before now. The
abolition of the Likin was the most import
ant object 1t was hoped, said the viscount,
that solution would be found for all
points of difference o.
In moving the bill, the chancellor Of the
exchequer. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, ex-
planned that he thought it desirable to al
ter one clause of the bill so as to enable
the chancellors to borrow funds when neces-
sary. in temporarily financing the exche-
auer. pending theo gathering in of taxes,
by the issuing of treasury bills instead of
borrowing on no. better security than an
Il. o. u of the chancellor as heretofore
customary. He added that the government
expected to haveTto borrow Els, ,OO0, 600 to
meet a deficiencyoin the next quarter. and
unless the suggested better security should
be forthcoming the money market might
be seriously dfscoWpossd.
Replying to ]. Edward Seely (conserva-
tive), who deprecated the lack of modern
war appliances by the, British army and
navy, and who urged the establishment of
a department responsible for the adoption
of every invention necessary to the army
or navy, the premier, A. J. Balfour. denied
that Great iBrtain, was behind other ma
tions He said government would grap-
pie with the urgent question of joint stra-
tegical department to the best of their
ability

STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Fight of the Cotton Mill Operatives
Lost

The big strike of the cotton mill operatives
a. Augusta. Ca, which was looked upon as
test Of the strength of the United Tex
tile Workers Of America. was declared off
by the executive committee of that body
yesterday afternoon. The committee met
at Fall River, Mass, and received the an
nouncement that the strike In the John c.
King mills in Augusta, Ga, had ended Au-
gust l. 1t was shown that the mills had
secured so much help that 1t was impossible
for the men to win. This action ends one
of the hardest fought battles known in the
textile industry between labor unions and
mill owners in the south.
These operatives went on strike last April
Tor 10 per cent advance in wages The
United Textile Workers, which had been
formed but a short time before, directed
the strike through officials in Fall River
Secretary HILBERT established supply depots
In various parts Of Augusta and operatives
IN Georgia and the southern part of North
carolina went out on strike in sympathy
These sympathetic strikers afterward re-
turned to work. Something like $4,000 in
all was sent to the strikers from all over
the country.
Members of the committee say that while
the operatives have lost the strike, trade
unionism In the south has received a strong
impetus.

eastern traveller is a graphic picture of
the installation of the emperor of the Tar
tars on August "a, 1926 Kuyuk Khan sat in
his gilt chair outside golden tent upon a
river bank, and the Tartar chiefs, gather
ing before him. prayed and commanded that
"you have power and dominion over u.s."
Rising from his gilt chair. Kuyuk Khan re-
Piled: 'If you wish that be your king
are you resolved and disposed each Of you
to do all that I shall command. to come
when call. to go where send, and to kill
whom shall order to be killed?" yes"
said the chiefs; and after the king had
promised that henceforth his word alone
should be his sword, the emperor was ad-
dressed as follows: Look on high and see
God, and look down on the felt whereon
thou sittest II thou dest govern well thou
shalt reign in power and magnihcence. and
the whole earth shall be subject to thee:
