MOBILES" CAUSE NEW
FASHION IN DANCING
Georgian Measures Are Coming
Into Vogue Again

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Dancing author
tiles here have predicted a great change
In the dancing of this season Not only
have the moving times much to do
with the change, but the fashions also
will, to great extent, taboo certain
dances, includig those so popular with
the late King Edward, who delighted
to watch the rushing along in deux-
temps.
The Georgian dances of the eighties
are now being substituted for the Ed
wardian figures The general effect of
the waltz will be calm and slow, to
admit of the smaller steps of the
women, necesstated by the narrower
skirts in fashion. Still, although square
dances are becoming rapidly more and
more unpopular, there is still to be seen
the lancers at some of the select pri-
vate dances. In this dance. according
to certain debutantes, during the third
set comes the flights" and the "old
gentee1 twiddles'' have been literally
"set to corners
One of the still popular dances is
the waltz introduced by The Merry
Widow" The dancers break off in the
waltz and take hands. only to go yet
apart again, and do pretty little steps
in a corner, or maybe not in a corner.
Certain gliding dances are also coming
into favor but very slowly. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the modern ways
of dancing the dances of the. eighties
will be in full swing during the cor
onation season. Among the revivals
will be the old English Morris dances
and singing games, together with the
musical QuadrilleS.

TWO COTTAGES BUILT
OF CEMENT FOR ST., 500
Editor Solves Problem of Rural
English Life

LONDON. Nov. 19,-Two neat little
tiled cottages near Guildford stand for
a practical and successful effort to deal
with one of the most pressing ques-
tions of English rural life-the problem
of cheap housing.
In building these comfortable, we'll
ordered dwellings for tive of his un-
der gardeners at a cost for the two of
$1,000, ST Loe Strachey, editor of the
Spectator, has justified the faith which
he publicly expressed and which moved
him to promote the cheap cottage ex-
hibition at Letchworth in 1905.
The argument which Strachey then
advanced and has now established is
this: The agricultural laborer can not
afford topaz more than $3.50 a week
house rent out of his wages. Any i'm
provement in his dwelling above that
standard must ordinarily be provided
by philanthropy. The obvious way to
cope with this situation is to cheaper
the cost of construction
This Stracley, in cooperation with a
local builder has done by using for the
walls of his cottage concrete blocks
made in molds on the spot. The ground
floors of the cottages have scullery,
a pantry and a large kitchen sitting
room. from which an open stairca Sc
leads picturesque1y to the upper story
of three bedrooms.

GUN EXPLOSION
KILLS four men
Lieutenant Coffee and Three
Others Victims of Disaster
at Indian Head
Accident Believed to Be Due TO
a Bent or FOuled Firing
Pin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Four men
were killed today by the premature ex-
plosion of a five inch gun at the Indian
Head proving grounds of the navy. The
breech block of the gun, which was be-
ing tested, blew backward into the gun
crew. Lieutenant Arthur c. Caffee was
one Of the men killed.
The dead, in addition to Lieutenant
Caffee, are:
j. L. Brown, bakery foreman, instant
ly killed
Nelson Jackson, a negro bakery at
tendant. died soon afterward.
}. j. Leary, ordnance man, died at
1885 a. m.
Sidney Dyson, negro, member of the
gun crew, was seriously injured.
DURING THIRD ROUND
The gun, which was a new one from
the navy yard gun factory, had been
hred twice. The accident occurred dur
ing the third round, just as the breech
was being closed. The accident was
similar to the explosion which caused
the death of 10 soldiers in the pit of
one or the disappearing guns at Fort
Monroe, Virginia, last summer.
The explosion probably was due to a
bent or fouled firing pin which pro-
Jected beyond the face of the breach
plug. The naval ordnance bureau has
been trying to find a safety device ap-
plicable to guns of this caltber, but
without success.
CAFFEE A HERO
Lieutenant Caffee had been on duty
at the proving ground since last April.
He lived on the reservation with his
wife and one child His body probably
VIII be buried in the Arlington national
cemetery.
In 1904 he was graduated from An
napolfs with honors and was assigned
TO the battleship Missouri, where he
won distinction by heroic action when
powder ma turret caught fire. At the
imminent risk of his life he flooded the
magazine and saved the ship from pos
slble destruction He was then as
signed to the Boston and twice more
received letters of praise from the war
department for unusual bravery in
