HAREM SKIRT DANCE LATEST
New Terpsichorean Feature, Bor-
rowed From Orient, Is Introduced
In France-hoW Executed.

Paris.-Almost every important
change in the fashion Of gowns in
Paris means the Introduction Of a
new dance, or at least one
lively unknown to the western world.
AS is natural, the orient has been
drawn upon for a terpsichorean fea-
ture in keeping with a trousers skirt.
This dance, which is called La Che.
rouille," is said to have been long
popular in Turkey, Syria and Arabia.
A dancing masters description of
how it is done follows:
Place the right foot behind the
left. Slide the left foot to the dane
er's left. Cross right foot. Raise leg
sideways without bending knee, toe
pointing to floor"
This dance is said to be impossible
of execution in a hobble skirt. French
dancing masters in general hail with
Joy the advent Of the trouser skirt, as
1t will, they say, force women and
girls who heretofore have been con-
tent to be pulled around a ball room
to pay proper attention to their steps.
With the trouser skirt every move
ment of the feet is noticeable.

ty-three miners are entombed In OFT
Mine No. 2 Of the Davis Coal and
Coke company here, the result OF an
explosion, and little chance is held out
for the rescue of any of them alive be-
cause of the tons of debris that has
thus far impeded the progress of res
cuers. 1t cannot be learned yet wheth-
er the explosion was caused by dust
or gas. Officials of the company say
they never have known their mines to
be gaseous.
The rescue parties had not advanced
far into the workings before they dis
covered it would lake several days to
dig through the heaps OF root coal
and slate that had been loosened by
the explosion. 1t then vas decided
to effect an entrance nearer the prob
able point of the explosion by cutting
through the wall OF an adjoining mine
owned by the same company. The
rescuers penetrated to the Number 2
mine at a point about 1000 feet from
the outside entry. There still remains
about an equal distance to go before
reaching the buried miners.
The OFT Mine Number 2 is almost
directly under the town of Elk Gar
den, which is on a bill. The mouth
of the mine is about half a mile from
the town.
In striking contrast to the usual
mine explosions, the victims in this
case, with one exception, are Ameri-
cans.
The mine usually employs 20 men
on the day shift and about the same
number at night. Owing to a tenn
porary suspension Of work however,
fewer men were required in the mines,
else the casualty might have been
greater. Two engines with rescue
crews and equipment were sen here

Washington, D. G. "a deficit in
the operation of the postoffice depart
ment of ST., 100000. inherited by the
present administration of the postal

cock. He had just received from the

a final report showing that the reve-

$50.
THE wiping out in less than two
years of the largest deficit in the his
tory of the department." said Mr..
Hitchcock, was accomplished not by
curtailing postal facilities but by ex-
tending the services along profitable
lines" He believed that the current
fiscal year will show a considerable
surplus.
The auditors report says that since
the opening of the administration 3,OS9
new postofiices have been established,
