OF the publicity department Of the In.
dustrial Association, who has been in
correspondence with the Colortype
company for the last month in an at
tempt to convince them that the wat.

Good night to the Tango.

Good night to the Tango.
The latest dancing fad which has
been made extremely popular by the
younger set at the Keokuk Country
Clubs Saturday night dances, was
dealt a death blow at a directors
meeting this morning. following the
storm OF protests which have been
coming to the club officers for the past
three weeks.
Saturday night the older people who
always remain for several hours to
watch the dancing, declared such dis
graceful Tangoing would have to cease.
Consequently they hunted up the prest.
dent OF the club and held a big indig-
nation meeting at which opinions were
expressed in no mild manner. The d.
rectors were literally forced to take
some action, with this mornings re
sultant move.
So next Saturday night the country
clubs gay young set will have to plac
idly return to the old round dancing
with an occasional Boston to liver
things up little. But several of the
leaders say they will not submit peace
fully and without struggle to sucf
provincial rules and regulations. The!
declare the Tango Is proper ard has {
large following In many OF the more
fashionable cities Of the country. Thi.

Tango Is Nothing New.

II think its real dub trick There
is nothing wrong with the Tango. New
York is doing 1t, SO why not Keokuk?
Most people think the Tango is
something new, but the Greeks had
steps like the tango and the turkey trot
1900 years ago, for these are the
primitive, easy dances that anyone
can dance If he or she has the least
sense OF rhythm. The Greeks knew ev.
cry possible step, but sought grace in
the use of the arms and hands as much
or more than by the movement of the
legs and swaying of the body.
THE feeling for the rhythmical, the
recurrence of regular, proportions
and measured beats, was highly cult
waited by the Greeks. And now after 8,
600 years we have the same thing In
the Tango 1t is dance of art and has
greater possibilities for grace and
beauty than the two step and walt
which succeeded the square dances
some years ago."

know them all, and when they are not
on the porch dancing to the music, one

And so on next Saturday night the
Tango will be barred. The swaying
graceful movemnts OF the dancers
with an occasional drop, step and dip
