The Unity Of Life.

H. Fielding-Hall, in the Atlantic
There IL nothing. I think. that brings
home to one more c~onclusively the uni
ty OF life. and. therefore, the unity Of
knowledge Of that life, than the at
tempt to study any particular subject
by itself and confine yourself to IL
alone. You find very soon that you can
not do so. No aspect Of life can be sep
arated from the rest and understood
wen IN any small degree without some
knowledge of the rest of life. No part
OF life stands alone. Every phenomenon
OF life Is the result, not Of one or two
causes alone, but OF the interaction of
fnnumerable causes. To get near the
understanding OF only one item you
must be able to estimate more or less
truly oil the forces that make life, and
the objective OF life. AS with the eddy
of a river, to estimate 1t you must know
not merely the eddy but much also OF
the river, its volume and Its speed, the
density OF its waters, the CONFORMATION
OF its banks and its general direction.
The observation OF the eddy only would
lead you into the widest fallacieS.

NO MORE WEIRD SLIDES OR DIPS
WILL Be TOLERATED IN DANCING
GracefuIneSs to Replace Gymnastics, and TerpSChorean Art
Will Now Be Thing of Beauty Instead of Wild Confusion.

by those who practiced and this fact lin
tied the number OF partners a dancer
might have. This year all dancing mas
ters have adopted the slogan, standard
ize," and before long everyone win be
dancing similar steps,
Miss Carroll says that SD positions win
prevail and that most of the steps will
be executed with the gentleman walking
at the side of his partner. The half and
half promises to sweep over the country
on a popular wave. It appeals because OF
the beauty of the steps and h restful-
ness of the dance. The hesitation is some
what slower and shows a strong tendency
toward the dip. The tango will be almost
entirely a series of walks and turns. .
The half and half includes the prin-
ciple Of hesitation IND has an unusually
large number of leisurely steps. II re-
quires special music Of the fve-four time.
Already several compositions rave ap-
peared and orchestras are busy mastering
the peculiarIties Of the time.
The maxixe will consist of the following
formations; first the promenade, then the
single arch, the coquette, the doublea arch,
the spinning step and the maxixe.
The hesitation will display four figures.
First will come the side hesitation, then
the forward hesitation, then the butterfly
and lastly a pretty movement consisting
of one hesitation, three waltz steps and a
turn.
There will be a greater distance between
partners In all dances. Because the speed
has been reduced and the dangerous
whirls eliminated, there is no longer need
for partners to maintain frantic grasps on
ono another. The new position of the
hands is TO keep them nearer the face.

right elbow OF the lady are ben while the
hands press against one another. palm to

Those who went through the agonies Of
the 1914 dancing season when everyone
seemed to ave hundreds OF truck" steps
and no two danced them alike, should
feel relieved over the announcement that
the coming season is one of simplicity OF
steps and Standardization Of figures.
There will be no wild, weird or wonderful
slides, slips or vaults such IS might be
demanded by the ringmaster OF a three
ring circus. There viii be no wild west
procession of whirls, fips n runs. In
stead there will be a stately. dignified
program OF graceful figures and attrac-
tive steps, so simply arranged that a
person living on the east side of the street
may successfully dance them with a
stranger living on the west side OF the
street ever though the two have not had
weeks OF practice. {.
The authority for the statement that
gracefulness has replaced gymnastics and
that all popular dances have been
trimmed to a certain standard Is Miss
Margaret Carroll, OF the Carroll School OF
Expression and Dancing. Miss Carroll
has recently returned from several weeks
spent In Chicago and the eart.
The four popular dances, she says. will
be the maxixe, the half and half, the
hesitation and the tango or one-step.
They have been arranged in orderly fash
ion and because of this Standardized ton
they are more beautiful than ever. The
maxixe consists Of six figures, the half
and half, five: the hesitation, four, and
the tango, four.
No More Confusion.
This year the ballroom will be a scene
OF beauty instead of confusion" said Miss
Carroll. Last year the number of fancy
steps was appalling and few possessed
the grace necessary to master them. They
could not be danced successfully except

Italian Attitude Toward the War.

The natural impulsive chivalry of the
italian nature would undoubtedly cause
the ~proletariat to sink their domestic diff
ference, and fly to arms were their ma
ton or racial sympathies awakened. No
government would have the slightest DIFF
ficulty in carrying with IL the vast ma
against Austria in defense OF the Italians
of Trieste or the Trentino, or against
Germany In behalf OF the Latins in
France. But no government would find
1t possible TO unite the country IN a war
OF aggression against nations OF the Latin
race, or to count on the support OF the
Italian masses In IN war, unless their
sympatnies OF passtons were aroused.
Salandra realized that a declaration OF
war against Russia or France woull have
been the signal for a general strike In
Italy, which might have resulted In the
fall OF the dynasty.

MAKES GASOLINE RECORD.
Oakland Car Goes More Than 28
Miles on One Gallon,

DETROIT. Mich, November 21.-
Twenty-eight and seven-tenths miles
on a gallon of gasoline is the Off
cial accomplishment of an Oakland,
model "37' four-cylinder car the last
week. Three miles of the distance was
run over a country gravel road and six
miles through city traffic. During the
run through the city the car was twice
stopped for traffic and an extra con-
sumption of gas through first and In
tcrmediate driving NATURALLY pulled
down the final figures. and these two oc-
casions were the only times the clutch
was slipped. 1t was a drive all the
way.
Weather conditions were anything
but favorable. The thermometer regis
tered at an average of 33 degrees. and
the final stage Of the test was after
dusk, when cold and damp atmospheric
conditions were most adverse to perfect

precipice and D the bank. The driver can
keep close to the ditch because he is on
that side and can see how near to go
with absolute safety. Even l. the curve
is the opposite as shown at No. ., with
the edge OF the precipice at f, the condi-
t;ons are the same. In either case two
right hand drivers meeting-the majority
of these roads are narrow. understand
they pass in perfect safety. The left
driver here is not only at disadvantage
as to his own safety. but menace to
every other vehicle. as numerous accl-
dents reported attest.
'"The claim is made that when passing
a vehicle going in the same direction the
left hand driver has the benefit of peins
on the ditch side of his car. While this
is true. it must be borne in mind that
one is not compelled to pass vehicle
going in the same direction and would
probably not do so in very dangerous
place but one is always compelled to pass
vehicle coming from the opposite direc-
ton.

under which circumstances the police
are compelled to permit a stop on the
left in the path of traffic to discharge
passengers.
Outside of the argument of conven-
ience in the traffic zones. there is not
a single word to be said in favor of the
left-hand drive. and great deal
against it. Then why infiict it on the
great majority of car users. who rare
ly, if ever. go into these sections? Fur
ther, with the advent of the opening
between the two front seats so that one
is enabled to easily step into the ton
neau and make exit or entrance via the
rear doors, not a single argument of
the slightest weight remains in favor
of the left drive.
The disadvantages. on the other
hand. are great. A left drive means
center control, and a universal COM
plant is the annoyance of women's
skirts, etc. getting on the control
levers. This is worse in cold weather
when the fair passenger requires a
blanket or robe, which sometimes in
an emergency happens to be hanging
over the control levers

Left-Hand Control Bad.

Where the center control is not used.
as in a few cars. the control must be
operated with the left hand. No one
excepting left-handed person can as
quickly, firmly or surely manipulate
the levers or hand brake in an emerg
ency with the left hand as with the
right, and this form of control should
be most severely condemned.
Every observant driver has noticed
how the left hand man takes more than
his share of narrow road. because he
ears the ditch on his right. This not
only causes profanity, but imperils other
road users. At no time does he keep as
close to the ditch as he should and he
cannot do SC as he Is seated on the wrong
side and cannot tell when he is as close
as safety with permit.
