Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 9.--Resolved TO
raise ballroom dancing to an aesthetic
standard never before attained in this
country, the United Professional Teach
ers Of Dancing determined at the last
convention held i'm the Forest academy
to decorate their dance halls in colors
that will harmonize with gay evening
frocks, and In this way add atmosphere
to dignity the terpsichorean art.
A majority vote on colors that Will
blend with the greatest number of light
gowns brought out this combination:
The lower third of the wall in deep
green, above it a light cream with a
white ceiling. or with the green base
substitute mirrors and soft amber
tone to finish the walls at the top.
In introducing this idea 4 artistic
walls the teachers believe their at
tempts to break up the undigni1ed po-
sitions now assumed in dancing will be
less difficult, for in a place where the
surroundings are harmonious they be-
lieve dancers will almost unconsciously
take on the Curves" they have declared
must now be used, instead of the
angular and hugging attitudes the as
sociation has branded as actually vul-
gar.
In addition to these reforms they
have all agreed to try to influence wom-
en- to wear more sensible shoes and
slippers in dancing. They are going to
make war on high heels, and advocate
the wearing of low, common sense
styles, with the soft, flexible soles.
They also discussed the advlsability of
persuading their pupils--that is, the
members of the fair sex-to get slippers
half size too large, to give the toes
plenty of room to slip forward when
taking fancy steps. If this can be ac-
complished and the women will use
shoes and insist on being held in proper
and dlgnified positions, the masters de-
clare that dancing will be classed as
a fine art,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-There

An effort is being made to arrange
battle to take place in September or
October.
Britt Is anxious for the fight and is
more willing to make terms than ever
before. It all depends on Nelson now.
The fact that Yanger and Herman have
been matched makes the proposed Mel
SON. Herman fight less attractive than
1t was. Morris Levy, who has the Sep

'I have had talk with Jimmy and

the next best man with Britt.
1T looks like Britt and the next best
