New Steps Declared Soul of
Grace and UnofFendiug to
Most Refined Taste,

Criticism OF the tango and allied
dances in Atlanta is fast losing its
edge, and, indeed, It's motive. The
new dances evidently are here to stay,
and they are being danced with such
charm and grace that all critical ideas
are being dispelled by the obviously
innocent enjoyment derived by the
dancers.
While still several degrees removed
from the minuet in stateliness and
the waltz in repose, the tango steps
are by no means as riotous as a good

the subject, are prone to imagine.

dance. everything depends on the
spirit of the dancers, said one ardent
tangoist the other day. THAT OBJ

seems 90 be not very well understood
and appreciated

are making the new steps popular
with the most conservative dancing
element may he mentioned Miss Hell

Malaria Cases in
4 Mos, Report Says

WASHINGTON, April 1l.-A re-
port issued to-day by the United
States Department of Public Health
states that nearly one-third Of all
the deaths from malaria in Ala
bama from 1910 to 1912 were among
children not more than 10 years old.
Mississippi statistics for malaria
show that there were % times as
many deaths from malaria among the
colored people of that State during
the first ten months OF 1913 as among
the whites.
For the States Of Alabama, Arkan-
sas, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, statistics show an average
of 10000 cases in each State for the
four months from June to November,
when malaria Is most prevalent. In
Mississippi and Alabama the disease
seems to be prevalent throughout the
year.
The anopheles mosquito is blamed
as the chief carrier of the malarial
germ. although parasites in the blood
also are factors.
