A step toward that end is that your gray

The hearts OF these dear, misguided folk
are unable to endure long the strain With
out doubt dancing will shorten their lives.
Sudden deaths need not surprise the fam

great the loss to dignity. The light foot,
the light heart and the not too heavy head
are the trinity OF the dance. In Europe

the Atlantic coast line, and the more
exhaustive his study the more i'm
pressed he has become with the de-

biologists have long recognized
the fact that the Atlantic coast line
was much farther out than it Is now.
lhere is line from one hundred to
three hundred miles off the present
coast at which the water suddenly
gets deeper. Out to that distance the
water is generally about three hum
dred feet deep. Then it plunges sud-
denly and becomes ten times as far
to the oceans bottom. The men of
the Coast Survey have traced this
line throughout the length of our
coast line and find it similar all
along. The biologists say that tho
continent once reached out that far.

But gradual decline through the

one containing an idea, or in a library or
hearing or making good music. That the
Americans are an Intelligent people is
every where granted in Europe, but the
impression has grown less. Believe me,
the nations that are your enemies, secret
or open, would wish you to go on dancing
and dancing until your brains atrophied
from lack OF use. BY dancing you would
become stupid people.
The effect of the modern dancing upon
the health is apparent. The average per-
son cannot with safety dance more than
fifteen minutes day. Yet young, delicate
girls dance four and five hours every even
Ing, or at least several evenings a week
The strain, even upon a normal heart, is
too great. II the heart is weak, death
hangs by the proverbial thread above her
head. But greater Is the menace to the
nerves. The Americans can. less than any
other nation afford to tamper with their
aervous systems, already oyer-stimulated by
their exhilarating climate and by overwork
and too great ambition
The effect Of the the dansant upon the
character has been to drag life down TO
the lowest sensuous plane. That sturdy
sense OF independence and the energy
utilized for the amassing of great wealth
deSenerates in that atmosphere into mere
love OF sensation. The newspapers told
recently of young wife running away
from her home because she had met at
tango tea young man whom she preferred
Her husband didn't tango. More American
wives than you suspect prefer tango part
ners to husbands. Many a foolish or law
less alliance is predicated at tango teas.
Only to-day heard of a woman who was
neglecting her children. She was away
from home all day because she wanted to
dance. That maidens lose their heads over
the dance is not remarkable, but when the
dance begins to undermine the home by
weakening the character of its cornerstone,
the mother, it is time that the madness
cease.
History offers one cycle upon cycle.

ago in Germany there was much dancing.

Will be put in an impossible position.
The waters will follow over the flats
Of New Jersey and of Long Island.
They will even beat back through
the Delaware and the Chesapeake
and get beyond the city and cut of
communication with the main part
of the land. Finally, New York will
find itself a city down in a we'll fari

the people who dwell in it will
desert 1t and repair to the then main
land. The waters will eventually lap

The original mouth of the Hudson
River Is now 200 miles out to sea.
