tango
Between Acts Latest Thing
In The Cities

Clevland, March 6-Cleveland the
atre-goers are trying q new stunt just
now-they're tangoing between the
acts.
No longer does the fair maiden have
to sit alone and look at the asbestos
curtain during the between-act period.
Her escort instead of making excuses
to go into the lobby for cigarette,
politely asks:
"WiIl you tango for few minutes
in the foyer?" Nothing delights the
fair young miss better and they tango
until bell announces the curtain for
the next act.
It's called the dansant entire act
and it's perfectly proper. Members
OF the orchestra leave the orchestra
pit and plant themselves in the foyer
a moment after the curtain drops.
Everybody's doing it, even some OF
the old folks.
They, say the dansant entire was i'm
ported from New York. It's society's
most esthetlc stunt just now

takes precedence over the state law

The federal authorities have an
nounced their intention Of enforcing
them.
We hope that the sportsmen in our
locality will not be tempted to violate
but will all observe il and encourage
others so to do BY so doing all sports
men will benefit, as the extinction of
the game which is seriously threatened
will prevent them from indulging their

MARCH DANGEROUS MONTH
SAY MT. VERNON PHYSICIANS

atted rooms who is counting an attack
of bronchitis or pneumonia. Persons
who, becoming too warm, hastily
throw off their coats and expose them
selves to drafts and those who go sud-
denly from warm rooms to cold out
side air without sufficient protection,
are all throwing themselves open to
pulmonary diseases.
1T is not the avoidance of the germ
of pneumonia, but being provided with
resistance that is essential" one ply
sician said. "The pneumacoccus is in
the systems Of most persons all of the
time. When there is lowered vitality
sudden chilling or great irritation of
the mucous membranes; or congestion,
then the'germ takes hold and bec6mes
dangerous Measures of prevention,
therefore, include keeping the body
toned UP through the use of good food,
exercise, we'll ventilated rooms and
avoidance of sudden changes from
heat to cold. One should also beware
of sitting or going about with wet
feet"
One physician advanced the theory
that the extremely dry air in homes
and offices during, cold weather was
often responsible for an irritation of
the mucous membranes which result
ed in colds and bronchial troubles. He
oni foid ofv of
temperature and let It be saturated
with moisture. Admit this air to the
house and heat it to 20 degrees, or 80
| degrees as is often the case in some
homes, and the amount of humidity is
only 30 per cent. This heated air is
then dryer than the air of the Sahara
desert in the dryest place in the dry
est time of the year, and is very irri-
tating to the respiratory tract. A basin
of water placed on the radiator, it is
found, increases the humidity but two
per cent, though 1t does help little.
In the Chicago schools, tests showed
the air to be so dry that jets of steam
were placed in each room to keep the
air moist"
! Change of underwear in the spring
is not credited by physicians with
causing many cases of sickness. "Peo-
pie do not make as radical changes
as they used to" said one doctor. "Nor
| do people as rule wear as heavy
clothing as they did years ago. OF
course common sense should be used
to changing to lighter underwear in
the spring"
The months of February and March
are said to be the months when pneu-
monia is most prevalent Other pull
monary ailments are also likely to
show an increase.
