the glowing faces of the young dancers
as with graceful motion of the entire
BODY the figures Of the modern dance are
executed in social dancing. These new
dances require that all the muscles of the
body, the arms and the head shall all
contribute towards making a picture Of
grace and poetry Of motion; the legs and
feet are not alone capable Of completing
the picture, and to our old fashioned
mind this is exactly what is to be desired
where dancing forms the source for pleas
ure and entertainment. To the vulgar
and obscene disposed, any or all dancing
can and does become Objectionable when
INDUCED in by them with the suggestive
meanings they impart to the dancing {;
but. that should not be counted against
the dances as they are INDUCED in under
moral surroundings and by moral minds
intent upon innocent pleasure. The only
recret that those who are now entering,
or have passed into the youth Of old
ave. should have, is the fact that the
accumulation Of years and the infrmities
of the physical body, places a limit to
their learning and indulging in the new
figures Of the present day dancing. The
modern dancing under moral surround
ings. is beautiful and well worthy OF en-
couragement, and it must be born in mind
that there will always be those who are
radical in their ideas of amusements as
we'll as in their religious or busiuessideas

IF Senator Salisbury is quoted rightly
as to his interview with the women who
went to Washington to enlist his support
for the eighteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which would give
the right to vote TO women, they need
expect but little comfort from his action.
The Senator seems unable TO get above
the partisan aspect Of the case, and es
pecially would he disfranchise all oolored
women. regardless Of their ability or
condition. We had hoped that Senator
Salisbury was fairer and broader minded
man than to assume position of that
kind. There is time coming when these
actions will rise up to plague him.

MILFORD must have a real fire fight
ing equipment, and it must be borne in
mind, that it cannot be secured without
an expenditure Of money. To install an
auto truck capable Of hauling over a
thousand feet Of water hose and a chem
ical engine with its hose, will cost about
four thousand dollars; but, that amount
could easily be saved in one fire alone,
and also if the fire happened to be in a
factory, the saving to labor alone would
soon repay the entire cost. Every renter
is interested in this matter, as his house
hold goods, or his stock of store goods,
would be saved from destruction from
water as well as from the fire loss. Look
this matter up, and be prepared to act
iutelligently upon this subject

THE many clubs in the city OF VII
mington are having a sad time over the
sideboards they maintain and from which
liouor is sold to the members OF these
clubs. They have paid to the United
States Government its license to sell IN
toxicatinp liquors, but are attempting to
fight paving the State license required
of them. Many of these clubs, like the
Country Club, the Wilmington Club and
others. have as members Judges, mem-
bers of the State and city governments
prominent men and women in the social
affairs of Wilmington, and they all dis
pense wines and liquors to members and
their friends. We, down here in the
"drv' end of Delaware are watching the
movements in this club matter, and con
fess that the squirming of some of our
friends under the pressure Of the prose
cutting officers, is assuming an amusing
aspect. The people of Wilmington favor
the sale Of liquor and have 50 voted. and
the saloons are paying the license fixed,
and generally complying with the regu-
lations. and to the down countryman" "
it is not plain why a private club should
be privileged to sell liquor to its mem
bers when it pleases, without paving the
license to the State, and come into fair
competition with the saloons, which are
compelled to live up to the laws Prob
ably this matter may never get into the
courts for ruling for there could be but
one ending but to the fellow outside,
it looks as if the clubs should put up
the license fee, or shut up, and so end
the entire matter.

CANADIANS SHOW PATRIOTISM
(To Be Continued)


 OTTAWA, Oct. 2O.-The loyalty of Canadians to the mother country and their sympathy with the stricken people are shown in all parts of the Dominion. Aid is pouring in, and all classes are contributing to the relief work.
 Today the 5O,OOO bags of flour for Great Britain, the provincial gift of Manitoba, were completed. Eight mills worked on the consignment. The flour was forwarded in one huge lot today and will be put aboard the first vessel sailing for England
 The first shipment of clothing con tributed by Canadians for the Bel gians who were rendered destitute by the German invasion, is also on it's way. Fully sixty tons of wearing ap parel Of all kinds and sizes were col lected
 Home relief measures are not being overlooked, and many methods of rais ing funds to care for the families of Canadians who have gone to the front have been tried out Perhaps the most unique to date is that sched- uled at Windsor, Ont, for tomorrow night, when a bix boxing match will be pulled off to aid the relief fund. The Windsor Athletic Club stages the bouts, and many local boxers have volunteered their services.

evil, and make haste to shed blood Lille.

SUCCESS.

The desire to succeed is universal among
enlightened people. If the efforts made
toward success were equally universal, that
desire would be largely satisfied within a
very short time. Wishing to succeed,
however, is not enough. The wish must
be vitalized by work. Working to succeed
will not suffice unless we work wisely. The
wish, the work and wisdom might therefore
be called the three-in one of success.
But do not imagine that wisdom, in the
sense here used, means the fruitage of
great learning or unusual mentality. AS a
matter of fact, true wisdom often consists
in simple means or methods. For instance,
as a man wrote to newspaper some time
ago:
a read in the paper several years ago
that man learning one new fact about his
business, trade or profession every day will
learn about 800 facts year, or 1900 facts
in five years; and it occurred to me that
the man knowing 1900 facts about any
business would not be obliged to work for
couple of dollars day. l took the hint,
and in less than two years proved to my
associates that it was small gold mine. -
10 presenting this helpful letter to its
readers, the newspaper said:
1.-The man that succeeds is the man that
knows. Do you wish higher wages? Do
YOU wish more of the comforts of life? DO
you wish to advance in the esteem Of your
fellow men? Do you wish to be happier?
Then don't waste minute in planning how
to escape work; don't waste a minute
scheming how to get rich without work, or
in dreaming of place with little work and
high pay
Get busy. Begin to learn more about
your business.
Hno,c.' knowledge is power, and it is
one of the few varieties of power which
cannot be taken away from one. 1t is
power that abides, and yet it is one of the
easiest forms of power to acquire.
Anyone ought to be able to learn one
new fact day. AS matter of fact, il
seems to be such small undertaking that
there is danger of undertaking it. We
are silly in many ways, but in none more
so than when We slight or undervalue
things because they are small.
At the end of life we begin to realize thai
the little things count. The time to learr
this is at the beginning. And the way te
learn it is to begin paying attention to these
little things. Do not wait until tomorrow
Begin adding to your store of knowledge
to-day. Tomorrow you may need wha
you might learn to-day. And if you have
it, you are On the road to success.
