hundred city school-teachers left the
institute session here wondering
whether DR.. Arthur Holmes, of State
College, was in earnest when he advo-
Gated that women should begin smok-
ing to discourage the habit in boys
and men. DR.. Holmes lectured on the
subject, THE Instinct In Child Life"
After he had argued at some length
that international wars and strife are
fostered in the schoolrooms rather
than in the higher ranks of life, DR..
Holmes asserted that instinct should
fight instinct.
Women" he said, should begin
smoking as a means Of stopping the
habit in boys and men, as men hate
to follow in anything women do, be-
cause it is too ladylike."

Dancing Novel Steps Is
Cheerful Sight.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 11.--John Philip
SOusa, whose band opened,an engage
ment at the exposition here, declared
his belief that the turkey trot was
conducive to longevity, while admit
ting that he did not himself indulge
in any kind of a dance and that some
of his marches were excellent dance
tunes
"A positive aid to longevity is the
simple and natural in form that any
one can dance it. I never saw any
thing like the way this dance has
been taken up by the middle-aged
and even elderly people. Really. it
is a cheerful sight when gray haired
men and women do the trot."
