the Square" dance, the Schottiscie.
Waltz or Two Step were enjoyable, and
when conducted properly, comparatively
harmless. But the dance has deterio-
rated. It has become concentrated
and professionalism. New steps and
movements of very questionable atti-
tudes are constantly invented. The
managers Of the modern dance seem
dominated by two motives. First, to
change the style often enough to keep
the instructors busy at fancy prices;
second, to make the feminine attitudes
sufficiently alluring to draw the crowds.
Not long since I watched the Turkey
Trot" danced properly. Now, do
not believe can be accused of pious
bigotry or narrowness, but I want to
say emphatically that the Indoor Game
Association positively disclaims any
endorsement of the modern dances.
As to our attitude on billiard halls, we
have expressed ourselves so often that
repetition seems almost unnecessary.
Our ideal is Recreation Center" un-
der municipal or church or school au-
spices, which shall include billiards, for
the reason that billiards possesses GER
tain points of instrinsic merit not found
in any substitute yet shown to us.
This explains it's irresistible appeal to
the game instinct of youth. It involves
no luck, no chance. It is pure science,
pure game. I have made a special
study of the billiard hall subject, and
I insist that it is not the impurities of
disreputable places that attracts our
young men. It is their God-given in
stinct for play and the masculine love
of conquest. That instince will not and
cannot be crushed by Mothers "don'ts
or fanatical legislation, but it may be
used as developing factor in the shap-
ing of character. I have newspaper
clippings by the score showing how the
prohibition of this game to the young
man has resulted only in driving him
to play ''Poker" and other worse pas
times. Close up the disreputable game
rooms, but do not permit the devil to
cheat us out of this beautiful game.

FRIENDSHIP FOR THE PEOPLE
OF MEXICO.

John Lind, personal representative Of
the administration in Mexico during the
Huerta regime, made plea at recent
banquet of the Industrial club at Chicago
for a warmer and kindlier spirit on the
part of Americans toward the Mexican
people. Among other things Mr.. Lind
said: .
II want to make a plea for warmer
and kindlier interest in our neighbors.
They bear us no i'll will. They need our
good will. We need theirs. We must
be friends in peace and allies in trouble.
''The people Of Mexico dwell in rich
and beautiful land. I feel that they are
people of great promise.
"They have suffered vicissitudes which
we have escaped. 1 believe that they
are emerging into the light of new and
better day. They may still stumble
politically. They may fall at times.
But I would rather have them stumble
and fall travelling our way than to see
them slide peacefully back into the
bondage, the ignorance, the vice and
sloth of the sixteenth century.
81 have asked myself, and I asked
some OF the critics of President Wilson's
policy, whether it was not within the
range Of probability that people who
within brief generation had responded
with great facility to the new social and
economic environment might make
equivalent progress in the field of politics
and government if afforded a fair chance.
I am hopeful, aye confident, that they
will.
''The hard experience of the Mexican
has made him wary and suspicious. It
has been difficult for the Mexican people
to believe that our president did not
have some Interior motive in his proffered
assistance and good Offices.
Europe condemned the idealism of
our president as we'll as his diplomacy.
They are reaping the fruit of their
diplomacy, we of ours. Which do you
prefer? Fortunately, in the case of
Mexico, idealism and practical states

WHAT SHALL WE PLAY?

corning the relative merits of games,
it is necessary to entirely eliminate
from all abuses and bad associations
for which the games themselves are not
responsible. For instance, many good
people approve and enjoy rolling wooden
balls over the green lawn, because it is
called croquet, while they would not
think of such thing as rolling ivory
balls over green cloth, because it is called
billiards, notwithstanding that billiards
is much superior game from the test of
science and skill. This is, no doubt,
due to the fact that the latter game is
frequently found in bad company. This,
however, is not an inherent dement, of
the game, but only testimony to the
devils appreciation of the best things
going.
We have no patience with mere
amusement. We endorse only those
games which rank in the category of
recreation. That means active par
ticipation rather than passive on
looking, and ranks all sedentary games,
such as checkers, chess, dominoes, cards
(whether Finch or Cinch) as secondary.
We endorse those games most highly
which bring into activity the greatest
proportion of human potentialities, j. e.,
muscles, nerves, judgment, skill, accura-
cy, promptness Of decision, etc.
In view of these general limitations
and requirements, therefore we un-
hesitatingly place at the head of our
list the versatile game of volley ball.
Invented in Germany, it is rapidly COM
ing to the front in this country. It is
form of indoor tennis, the naked hand
being substituted for the racket. The
number of participants is limited only
by the capacity Of the room. The play
ers are separated by net. The object
of the serving" side is to cause the
ball to strike the ball in the opponent
territory on the opposite side of the
net. The violence of the exercise is
determined by the limitations of the
participants. The game is equally
adapted to boys and girls, big and little.
In an ordinary engagement, there is
brought into play nearly, if not every,
muscle of the body. Leaning backward
with arms thrown up is a frequent
posture which affords, as few other
games do, the splendid exercise for
shoulders and spine.
OF course, this game requires higher
ceiling and larger room than is commonl
ly found in the home. But we advise it
strongly for Y. M. G. AS, Com
munity" Houses OF Social Centers", in
towns and villages, sufficiently awake
to take any serious interest in their
young people or in the solution of this
vital problem.
The most mooted question, however
and perhaps the most futile, is the
dance. But since my opinion has beer
called for, / submit it herewith: = The
old-fashioned democratic dances like
