Dancing at Annapolis

The new-fangled dances which
have swept zippingly across the
waxed floors of the recent seasons
have finally met real enemy.
Heretofore the opposition has been
passive. There have been doleful
comments and regrets that such in
novations should be permitted. But
there has been no disposition to pro-
hiblt the intrusions and to follow up
that decree by vigorously amending
the old dancing order of things.
Our grizzled seadogs of Annapolis
do more than bark; they bite.
The turkey trot and all the rest
Of them are not only forbidden at
the Naval Academy, but a new set
of rules for the greater dignity and
precision of the dance has been for
INFLATED. The code insists upon a
space Of three inches between dane
ing couples. 1t enjoins the mid
shipman from taking his partners
arm. 1t provides that during all
dances the midshipman shall keep
his arms straight.
The midshipmen fear that the
straight-arm decree will be difficult
TO comply with. They say it will
make for constrained and tiresome
position. BUTT does not make any
difference to the department of dis
cipllne what the midshipmen say.
The mandate has gone forth and it
shall be obeyed.
Who can tell whereto this thing
may grow? Dancing has heretofore
been largely a matter of rhythmic
instinct. Annapolis, ere 1t gets done,
may plot all its curves mathemati-
cally. Twenty-one years ago the
naval experts first began TO expert

the old charcoal powder is as il, lit

things portends in the dance.
The point is that at Annapolis

have corrected. the laxity of the ac-
scepted order which has invited just
such innovations. They believe that

Is Alcohol Hurt
full or Helpful?
Lippincotts Magazine for February

The question as to the propriety
of using alcohol habitually has a
most important moral side, but with
this the psychologist does not deal;
the physicaAide, i. e., whether such
use is helpful or hurtful, alone
claims his attention." says DR.. Hor-
acio G. Wood, the eminent physi-
clan and author, in the February
Lippincott's. AS on the witness
stand, in court, my answer to the
question as to the practical food
value of alcoholic drinks shall pre-
cede the explanation. The answer
is, the habitual use of moderate
draughts may be helpful or it may
be most harmful, the diversity of
result depending upon the circum-
stances of the individual involved.

blood of animals. There are no
beautiful notes In this voice, except
ambition-a laudable failing-and
she has ambition in plenty. 1t is a
