AND TT Is VERY POPULAR,

HOT SPRINGS. VA, May 4.-The
"porter's chuck" is the name of the
latest new tangled dance.
This new step has created consider
able excitement at this summer resort
since 1t was introduced by Lindlay Tap
pin, OF New York. and Miss Christine
Biddle, a Philadelphia society girl, we'll
know In Baltimore and Washington.
Hot Springs has gone crazy over this
strange dance with the strange name.
IT Is called the porter's chuck. accord
Ing to its creators. because IT suggests
nothing so much as the whirl that the
strong arm man gives a trunk when
he wants to get II quickly across the
floor. In this case the male member
OF the pair serves In the role of the
porter. while the girl serves as the
trunk.
Mr. Tappin and Miss Riddle drew
great applause In the Japanese room
of the Homestead hotel this week by
this whirl. the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
William f. Sheehan, taking up the new
dance at once.

Money Rack to People.
During these last several years the
railroads have been pointing out that
they not only enter into the national
life by performing the vital and es-
sentiaI functions OF transportation. but
that of every dollar paid to them for
transportation the greater part imme-
diately finds its way back to the peo-
pie in wages, in payment for coal. iron
and lumber of which they are the
largest consumers, and other mate
rial and supplies. of which they use
enormous quantities: that they can
not thrive unless the communities
which they serve are prosperous. that
they really are part OF the body
politic: that the blood which main
tasns their health and strength is the
same as that which nourtshes the
farmer. the merchant and the manu-
facturer The railroads margin Of
profit lis small. II through undue
pressure from any direction that mar

to the whole people.
Although because Of the vocifera-
ton OF the last several years the gap
between the people and the railways
may seem to be widening there is not
lacking indication that the contrary is
really the case. There has been COM
ing into the administration OF the
railroads another generation OF rail-
way officers who are more closely con-
cerned with the intricacies OF manage
ment than their predecessors The
spirit OF the pioneer Is no longer
needed SO much as a broad grasp OF
general conditions and the ability to
adjust the operations OF the railroads
to those conditions. Forcefu1neSS and
decision of character are AS great q
desideratum as ever, but their proper
field is no longer in the coercion OF
legislatures in securing the favor OF
corrupt men by corrupt means. The
function OF the traffic manager Is no
longer to steal traffic from a COMPETE
tor by means of rebates and cut rates,
but to study traffic possibilities and TO
provide facilities for the fiow OF traffic
in natural channels.
New Point OF View.
The result has been that the minds
of railroad officers are being broad
ened by the comprehension OF the eco
nomic principles that nnderlie the
questions which they meet in daily
routine, and academic writer's are
coming to understand the difficulties
that lie in the way of immediate adj
justment in absolute accord with alb
stract theory. The contentious and
discussions have brought into public
speech and pubic print on both sides
great deal of the froth of the par
tisan but the concrete and specific
tend to emerge into the comprehen-
sion of the public in general. who
elect the makers OF the laws. Atten-
ton Is now being directed to the fun
damental relations between the peo-
pie and tho railroads, and there would
seem to be q growing recognition Of
the fact that these relations cannot
be determined through paroxysms Of
popular hysteria.

ago that the rules under which the
little league is governed require a
certain standard Of scholarship. and
that the John Marshall boys are un-
able To show this, because of the dit

school boys have have az high stand

is deplorahle. as It will probably con-
fine the limits of the league to the
