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 compare
lively unknown to the western world.
AS Is natural, the orient has been
drawn upon for a terpsichorean fea-
ture in keeping with 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 II 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

ORIGIN OF MAIL CAR
Railway Postal Service First OBJ
Grated in Missouri.
William A. Davis. Before the War.
Postmaster at ST. Joseph, Devised
System Now in Vogue for Dis
tributing Mail En- Route.

81. Joseph. Mo.-Progress In the
carrying and distribution OF United
States mails has been remarkable IA
this country in the last fifty years 4
half century ago, the first railroad west
OF the Mississippi river, from Hannibal
TO st. Joseph, Mo, was constructed,
and on this road the railway mail ssrv-
ice of the country had its origin and
inception. Then, only the mails for the
whole western country came In bulk
on freight and passenger trains to be
distributed in ton lots and carried to
many destinations by courier. BY buck,
board, horseback and stage lines, the
only methods in those days.
1t remained for William A. Davis,
postmaster at ST. Joseph from 1855 TO
1861, to invent and inaugurate the
great system now in vogue Before
this time the mails, all mixed and in
bulk, were carried to some central dis.
tributing point. independence, Mo.
was one of these and st. Joseph later
was another. When the railroad was
built the task all came to the st. Jo-
seph office, in distributing the entire
overland mail
The idea occurred to Mr.. Davis that
these mails could be distributed while
In transit. II seemed to him in every
way possible and desirable. SO he
wrote to the people in Washington for
authority to fit up some cars on the
Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad to try
out the experiment. The authority
came and Mr.. Davis went to the rail-
way headquarters at Hannibal and su-
perintended the arrangement OF sew

QUESTION and soon a most remarkable
change for the better was made In the
receipt and distribution of mails. The
great railway mail service had been
inaugurated!
The problem of forwarding overland
mails without delay was solved, and
Mr.. Davis was soon made a special
agent Of the department and given full
charge Of the branch Of the service
which he had originated.
William A. Davis, inventor Of the
railway mail service, was born In Bar,
rem County, Kentucky, in September.
1909. In early youth he went to Vlr-
ginia, where he entered the postal
service, at Richmond and other places,
and with his career in st. Joseph he
had been in the postal service about
fifty years.
The first car for the distribution of
the mails was an old-time way" car,
fitted up with pigeon holes. Extra
windows were arranged and the dis
tributors" used candles to assist in
lighting the cars. Mr.. Davis made a
trip on the first car as far as Palmyra,
Mo-, and then left the work with an as,
sistant while he returned to Hannibal
for the second car. There are many
old railroaders yet alive who remem-
