MOST DIFFICULT HINDU FEAT
Dancing Girl Balances Eaas on
Threads That Are Stretched From
Rim Of Wheel.

OF the many wonderful feats per-
formed by Hindu jugglers, one of the
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually it is executed by a girl, fam
tast1cally dressed. She makes use Of
willow wheel. around which at equal
distances are threads, and at the end
OF each thread there is moose, held
open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries a basket of
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins to dance, and
the wheel begins to spin around. She
then takes an egg from the basket,
places it In one of the thread noosee,
and throws it from her with sufficient
force to draw the knot tight. The
spinning of the wheel keeps the thread
with the egg at the end of

Cracow stands even before Warsaw
In the minds of Polish patriots. Not
only was 1t once the capital of free

the generations of Polish Kings and

the basket, places It In another moose,
and repeats this until there is an egg
In every moose. Her fantastic costume,
her perfect motion, and all the eggs
swinging on stretched threads at once
present curious sight.
1t requires much art to execute the
dance, for one false step would cause
the eggs to be dashed together and
the dancer to be disgraced.
After dancing for some time with
all the eggs swinging around her head,
she takes them out of the moose one

balanced and in motion, and again
places them In the basket on her arm
After the performance the specta-
tors are allowed to examine the eggs

Poetry and Youth.

II poets sing to the young, and the
young hail their own interpreters in
poets. 1t is because the tendency of
both is to idealize the realities of

making the fair yet fairer and the
noble nobler still-Bulwer.

"WHAT A DOLLAR WILL DO"

Some extremely amusing logic. In
local paper is running a story of
What Dollar Will Do" 1t is a
strong argument for keeping the dol
lar at home. 1t is surrounded by the
advertisements of certain merchants
who are supposed to advocate the
doctrine of home trade. In one
Of the merchants advertisements
grouped about the rolling dollar"
story is an ad that reads as follows:
Double Blue Trading Stamps on all
purchases" which is equivalent to
saying trade at home is a good doc
trine to preach but not so good to
practice, for every time our local buy
ers give us one dollar we send six
cents OF it to Chicago to the blue
stamp man instead of giving it to the
struggling local mediums of public
ity. It is all right to buy advertising
dope from a foreign firm instead of
home merchants who give more pub
licity for the money, but it is very
disloyal for folks to send to foreign
houses for your goods instead of buy
ing of us.
The trade at home doctrine is very
weak unless those preaching it prac-
tice II.

J. b. WARE FOR RECORDER.

During the past year ]. B. Ware
has been the most conspicuous men,
ber on the council. He has been
loyal to every interest of the city
and leader in every forward move
ment, being remarkably successful
in spite of constant opposition.
AS chairman OF the ordinance COM
mittee he has been unceasing in his
effort to produce ordinances in har-
mony with the greatest safety to
citizens and benefits to the city.
Some of them met with strong oppo-
sition both from within and without
the council. However, the sum total
of his ordinance work for the year
registers greater number and bet
ter quality of ordinances than have
been before inaugurated.
He proposed the creating of an in
digent committee and was appointed
by Mayor Johnson as chairman of it.
This has been the first year in which
systematic attention has been given
to indigents. The committee has
worked harmoniously and helpfully
with the Sunshine Society and great
good has been accomplished.
The expert ability of Mr.. Ware in
figures has been amply demonstrated
and frequently called into action dur
ing the past year. The general fund
of the city was compiled and
reported by him and he has
delved Systematically into the status
of the bond fund as illustrated in a
large degree in the admirably pre-
pared budget for 1915. Notwith-
standing the large part of the work
already done by Mr.. Ware no annual
report of the city's finances has yet
been presented by the present re.
corder.
He is the father of the free camp
ing ground idea on Water street fol-

teams, for which the lots have been

MIR. GowDY FOR COUNCILMAN.

Mr.. w. H. Gowdy, who is a candi-
date for councilman, has served one
term upon the council. He proved to
be an active, hard-working, forceful
member, commanding the respect and
confidence of his associates.
Mr. Gowdy was chairman of the
electric light committee during his
first year, when the plant was largely
developed, and is credited with the
street lighting on Oak, Helman and
Laurel streets.
The second year he was chairman
of the water committee, where, be-
sides caring for the important cur
rent matters and details of that COM
mittee, he worked out a comprehen-
sive plan to permanently improve our
water system in Ashland by the re-
moval of the 1O-inch pipe in the
city's main pipe line from Crowson
hill to the sources of supply, and the
replacing with 24-inch pipe. He sue
ceeded in having this plan adopted
by the council, and also in actually
having purchased 1000 feet of "a
inch pipe, which, during the present
year, was used as planned, thus re-
placing one-third of the old 10-inch
pipe.
Mr.. Gowdy is recognized as mod
est, law-abiding, desirable citizen OF
good education and ability.

in. This gas is one of the most val
liable assets of the community, being
especially valuable to induce installa-
tion of sanitariums and bathing es-
tablishments.
The pipe problem had required ex-
tensive tests and experiments with
all the known types of pipes avail
able for the work and it was found
necessary to design new pipe made
for the purpose which will stand all
pressure required and be non-corro-
sive inside and out and practically
indestructible. This pipe will cost
considerably more but it affords the
satisfaction of knowing we have a
pipe that will meet every emergency
and nothing in Europe as good.
A piece of the pipe was exhibited
and explained. 1t was formed of fine
concentric rings and is constructed
under very high pressure. II has a
specially designed joint and sleeve
which makes the pipe practically a
unit when once put together and laid.
1t is composed of a composition of
mineral wakes and tars and wood
pulp applied under high pressure sim
liar to the method of constructing
car wheels. 1t requires a specially
designed apparatus for laying it.
Radio activity was brought into the
question. Mr.. Smith said the radio
activity of mineral waters was suffi-
ciently understood so that it was an
ascertained fact that there is such a
thing, but as to a full understanding
of its longevity under the handling
of the waters and its medical appli-
cation there is much to be learned.
The above were the salient points
in the meeting, though the oppon-
ents of the idea of bringing the wa
ters to the city and whose slogan is
develop the springs at the springs"
were present and took part. The
usual clash between them and the
chairman of the mineral springs COM
mission took place. Outside of the
heat incident to the commotion there
was nothing tangible contributed to
the sum of knowledge on the subject
| itself
Criticism of the Springs Commits
sion for not taking hold of Charles
G. Anthony's offer of services was an
swered. The commission had been
in correspondence with Mr.. Anthony
and the following was what Mr.. An
thony wrote:
Regarding the charge for the de-
velopment of your spa, will say that
the preliminary trip should take a
month or six weeks of my time. My
charge for this preliminary trip will
depend somewhat upon any future
agreement we may come to about the
handling of the complete develop
ment / have come to the conclusion
that if | am to be associated with the
development | would want to have
complete charge of it. If we come to
such agreement on the future devel-
opment of your spa, l will make the
preliminary trip for $500 and all ex-
penses. Otherwise l would have to
charge more for this work and /
would make this small charge only
under the condition that it is to be
supplemented with the additional
work of complete charge and installa-
tion at Ashland"
1t was brought out in the discus
sion that Mr.. Anthony's proposition
was that which any firm would re-
quire, complete charge and installa-
tion," and which was the proposition
in the. employment of Smith, Emery
& Company.

city's Administrator Aligned in War
Against Drainage Commission
on 100000 Contract.

SAVANNAH, Feb. 91-The fact
that the drainage commission has de-
clined absolutely to reconsider a re-
award of the 100000 drainage CON
tract, despite the report of City En-
gineer f. r. Conant that the work
had been given the highest bidder,
has made the political situation most
acute The commission has arrayed
itself solidly against Mayor r. ]. Da-
want and his administration, and for
the first time there is some talk of
putting an opposition candidate In
the field.
Mayor Davant has taken the posi-
ton, backed by a unanimous vote OF
Council, that the drainage commits
sion selected the contractor wins
would serve them best for political
reasons. The fact that the work can
not now be started until the fall of
this year when the candidates for
Mayor win appear, makes it almost
certain that the drainage contract
will be made an issue
