The TANGO Issue.

Rapidly the tango is becoming a
great social issue Mayor Harrison
of Chicago has appointed committee
OF the council to frame a tango ordi-
nance. after careful observance OF
what is going on In various dance
halls. Judge Anderson, in Cleveland.
Solomonlike, had the tango performed
before him, and then gravely decided
that 1t was a moral dance. A clergy
man in New Jersey is organizing q
dancing school to teach the modern
dances properly to the young people
of his parlsh-and Sc the news runs.
Primarily, there is a confusion of
terms In the public mind Very few
people can. or ever will. dance the
tango. which, being highly elaborate
dance, requires a good deal Of prac-
tice. grace and skill but the name
tango is being applied to turkey
trotting.@ which can readily be made
highly Objectionable Various forms
OF this have justly aroused public pro
tests.-New York Evening Post

have jYmped to the Federal League.
Johnson, who has been the mainstay
of the Washington club of the Ameri-
can League for several seasons, has
been drawing $12 600 year. Mar
guard got $4,000 a year from the
New York Giants.
Johnson is said to have been
signed for tne Chicago Federal
League club by Joe Tinker, manager
for at least $4,000 a year, while
Marquard went to the Brooklyn club
of the same league.
Johnson may be considered the
most valuable pitcher in baseball.
1t is probable that he would sell
for higher price than any other
man pitching. Marquard was bought
from Indianapolis by the Giants for
s11 600. He did not show well in
the first season, but he made UP
later, and was rated the greatest
pitcher in the country for one season.

faded hair, stimulate its growth and
make it soft and glossy with this sim
