NORMAN ANGEL TO
LECTURE ON PEACE
Noted Political Economist to
Speak Tuesday at Church
of Covenant.

Under the auspices Of the Washington
Peace Society. Norman Angel, whose
name Is fami lar to thinkers on both
sides Of the sea. will lecture at the
Church of the Covenant Tuesday.
A journalist Of many years standing,
editor for thirteen years Of leading Par
isian newspapers. Norman Angel has
enjoyed particular opportunities for
close observation and study Of govern
mental policies and political economy,
the results Of which he has given to the
world In several volumes.
Mr.. Angel, in THE Great Illusion, I"
sets forth theories which tend to upset
the accepted belief that a country may
become enriched by the conquest
His premise is founded upon the fu-
tility Of war. and the burden Of arma-
ment upon a nations people, and he
carries On propaganda for international
peace.
His disciples and converts trumpet
and the soundest political doctrines,
while his admirins critics seize upon
MS structure and rend 1t at every pos
sible crevice.
The first weakness, they assert, Is in
the statement that In no case can the
individuals Of a victorious country profit
by territorial aggrandizement: they cite
the case Of Japan. with her contracted
boundaries overfowing with an expand
ing population Of forty-six millions. An
acquired territory. such as Manchuria.
would care. they say, not only FOR the
overflow. but relieve the local conges-
ton. with immense personal profit to
the conquering people.
Mr.. Angels work has attracted at
tention from those thSkers. Of all ma
tons. who are able to look beyond the

to the older person. it is dignified,
graceful, and dangerous. At the same
time ii is the most artistic dance of all
when done by two young people.
Il consider it the only dance as
charming as the minuet, and have every
reason to believe it will be fully as
popular as that famous figure. The ap-
peal is universal, and once people find
out that il is easy, beautiful and ryth-
mic, its life will be prolonged indef-
initely.
Rhythm is the source Of all popularity
in music. 1t is the swing that catches
the ear and enables the mind to send
a direct message to the feet. Rhythm
is the heart and core of the Hesita-
ton waltz. Dancers MUST move in
time to the music, and in this manner
they really learn to dance. Toward
the end of the time that the old-fash-
ioned waltz and two-step were in favor
the turkey trot and hoppy dances were
creeping in. Dancers went faster and
faster regardless of time. Young peo-
pie did not learn to dance in the proper
manner They hoped, and they gall
loped, and they did what they called
the Yale Only one scant third canced
correctly, ard in time to the music.
But the Hesitation waltz and the tango,
the Boston, and the one-step, or Fish
walk, have changed all of this. The

but there is little of this in the hesita-
ton. The music is played a little fast
er than the ordinary waltz, and when
waltz steps are taken it gives the ap-
pearance of dancing in double time, but
ii is never rushed or undignified.
Mrs Dyer lamented the fact that SO
many dancers think that they can learn
to dance by watching other people.
This is great mistake Either try all

Each person has his or her individual
way of dancing. Idiosyncracies are
formed spontaneously. When one learns
from watching another. he Is apt to
copy faults as we'll as fancy steps. This
