The SECOND YEAR OF u DANCE CRAZE.

THE winter of 191415 has gone, and 1t finds still raging the pas
sion for the socaled modern Dances. which first swept over the
country in the fall of 1913. Now that the tango" is officially onounce
innocuous, the desire to learn 1t is in u measure abaed. But a ex-
ended depretory OF fox trots and onesteps is still being inculcated. The
long list OF dance studios advertised in the metropolitan newspapers IN
dicates that the fever is still raging among the socially elect.
today among young people than ever. Young folks are always daft over
dancing. 1t is the older people who have largely supported the dancing
teachers, o r made 1t possible for many mor of them to earn a living.
n reason why people used to give up dancing 500 after being mar
RED las OF been commonly IS tn young folks innocenty suppose, that
they have become tired Of this amusement. Rather it is in the way
dances re III The young girls ire the bellies Of the ball, and dances
tend to crystalline into little clques.
Certain men will dance regularly with certain girls and Ii o others.
In tms shunle married women ire apt to be left out in favor of the de.
butantes. They love dancing as much as ever, but they quit rather than
submit to the humiliation of becoming wall flowers.
The modern dances reduced all who cared for dancing, old and
young inoa democracy of learners. Most dancing schools are conduc-
ted o The Paul jones' plan, in which you go into the ring and take
the partner who turns UP when the whistle blows. The married girls
nee more acquire a n equal chance with the buds, and new their
youth. 1t is certainly a pleasant sight to see middle aged and elderly
people quit the sleepy Preside, and nee mor stretch their muscles and
feel the citation Of musical rhythm.

NEWSPAPER PoLITICS.-The de-
cadence of the newspaper editorial
is evidently felt by editors themselves.
Political campaigns are not made
now so much in the editorial columns
as in the news columns, and the prob
able reason for it is that editors find
more and more readers who refuse
to take orders from editors but vote
as they please. Some of the news
papers found this out when the votes
were counted in the last primary
election. Thompson was nominated
by the Republicans in spite of news
paper orders to vote for Olson. Now
the same papers are trying to help
Sweitzer in their news columns with
out showing their hands in the edi-
toriaI columns. You can tell which
candidate a paper favors by the way
it plays the news.
Here's an illustration: The Exam
liner on Friday said in its headlines:
Republican Candidate Also AssafIs
Fire-Fighting Powers of City" All
the news story under that headline
said was: Thompson also promised
to return Chicago to its standard of
efficiency as a ire-fighting city. He
declared that since the time of Chief
Swenie the city had fahen INTO eighth
place among municipalities in fire
fighting"
Firemen might have taken that as
reflection on the department by
Thompson. Yet here is what Thomp-
son actually said:

POLITICAL STRAWS-The

POLITICAL STRAWS-The pols
being taken by the Trib and Exam
iner, if they fairly represent public
opinion, indicate that the undercur-
rent is for Thompson and that he
may overcome the large Democratic
majority in Chicago and win out.
Both polls give Thompson lead over
SWeitzeF. Although the newspapers
lean toward Sweitzer the public lean
ing appears to be the other way.
There are many reasons for this.
Events are with the Republican tick
ct. War, hard times, business depres-
sion and unemployment work against
the party in power This win hurt
Sweitzer, although he is IN no sense
responsible for conditions.
The bitterness of the Democratic
fractional fight, which resulted in a
triumph for Sullivan over Harrison,
has left its scars. Politicians viii go
through the form Of being regular,
but the SuIliYanites won't trust the
HarrisOnites and nobody knows how
a man votes when he walks into a
voting booth. Many Democrats wiz
talk one way and vote another.
AS an offset to the Democratic fac
tional row, there is also one IN Tia
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-03-20

"Since the days Of Chief Swenis,
when the Chicago fire department
was the admiration Of the world, the
personnel has been Of the highest
standard. The courage Of officers
and men is as great today as it was
then, but from lack of proper man
agement or attention the equipment
has greatly deteriorated. It has been
pointed out by newspapers that we
are tagging behind in the matter Of
equipment. Among the cities Of the
country Chicago ranks eighth. It is
time that this was changed. It is
time that modern motor apparatus
superseded the oId-time horse-drawn
vehicles. It is time that the finest
body Of fire-fghters in the world be
given the proper tools with which to
work" ,
Was the story in the Examiner col
ored to give readers a false impress
sion?

make his everlasting fortune as soon as
Wall Street understood that he couldn t
be bullied or defrauded; half interest
in a patent. Have you forgotten the pat
ents of Bell and Morse and Westinghouse
and Marconi and Selden and the inven-
tor of safety-pins?
Thus for six years, during which he
rose to Importance in his business, saved
his money and lost it, retained his faith
in human nature and his popularity in
Kenilworth, and fell in love with Helen
Haynes.
HIS taste was beyond criticism. She
: was twenty-five, lovable rather than
lovely; some of her friends said that if
she had devoted fewer hours to altruism,
and more to herself, she could easily have
been beautiful. suppose they excepted
her eyes from this judgment-her eyes
and her character; for no amount of
them lovelier. AS for her standing in soci-
ETY., and the munitions of war-at least,
no passer-by, after the most cursory in
spection of the Haynes estate, would
doubt that her father, either now or re-
Gently, had been capable of keeping a
job. He had five, or fifteen, or fifty
millions-the precise number is imma-
terial, since the first quotation is ample
in Kenilworth, even for married man.
Obviously she was under age when
Ewing came, unlike Lochinvar, out of
the East; but his decision was instant.
"There," he said to himself, "is going to
be mighty fine woman!" He himself
was hardly privileged to vote, and his
temporary salary was two dollars week
more than he paid to live.
Somewhat later he admitted-to him

the first one ever performed in China. DIR.
Strong and his assistant were dressed in
long white, sterilized robes, with white
cloths wound around their faces, their
heads and their eyes protected by huge
goggles. The atmosphere was so cold
that the blood from the bodies, running
off the side of the tables, formed icicles
at the edge, and the pals of water and
disinfectants froze continually Yet, in
these and similar experiments, DR.. Strong
penetrated all the secrets of this historic
disease. He found that the same germ
causes it that causes the bubonic plague.
The fact that in the pneumonia disease
it attacks the lungs, produces condition
altogether different from the less virulent
bubonic infection. He also found that
one human being could give it to another
only in one way-by coughing in his face.
DR.. Strong's voluminous report, published
by the United States government, is now
the final authority on this disease.
While these unprecedented autopsies
were going on, however, the little fat
Chinese interpreter appeared highly eX-
cited. No permission had been given, he
said, and so the post mortems must stop.
Instead of stopping them, DR.. Strong de-
strOyed another Chinese tradition by
starting wholesale cremation of the
dead. Any one who knows to what ex-
tremes a Chinaman will go to secure a
decent burial for his bones can well under
stand the perturbation of the Chinese
when Dr. Strong began committing the
bodies to the flames. In this, as in other
matters, however, Chinese good sense
finally triumphed. DR.. Strong soon had
hundreds of natives working with him in
series of ingenious plans evolved for
checking the plague.
The experience really established an era
in sanitary science in China, as autopses
are now legalized, and China has begun
a systematic program, not only for a
sanitary house-cleaning, but for the mod
ern medical education of her sons.

self-that he liked her better than older
girls; this was in June or December--the
calendar doesn't matter particularly.
He was twenty-five when he knew that
he loved her; but his power of observa-
tion was so improved that he calculated
correctly. If she were very careful and
economical, she might find double the
amount of his income rather decent
dressing allowance.
And by the time he was really unhappy
about her he had four thousand year,
and the amused sympathy of the men of
kenilworth because he had endowed the
promoters of Cactus Oil with half of it..
The Cactus Oil Company, said Kenil-
worth, was immeasurably the worst of his
bad investments. 1t was fake, a swim
die, fraud so palpable that not even a
sophomore should have read as far as the
third paragraph of the prospectus and
kept his face straight. 1t had leases, per-
haps, and concessions; it certainly had
credit with a photographer. But if it were
reliable, or if it were merely respectable,
why did it neglect to do little drilling?
Ewing said that it was conservative
The company had drilled, but the results
were all busters. What did that signify?
Nothing but bad luck There were plenty
of acres. He was morally certain that
limitless oil lurked beneath some of them;
and it's a poor fisherman who condemns
the sport because he doesn't land his
catch at the first nibble.
And between two days,-the older men
had reasoned with him at night, and
planned to guy him in the morning, in
the vain expectation of teaching him
common sense,-between two days Ewing
caught his fish, caught it while he was
asleep, and the lines were bobbing aim

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for November IA, 1915

These experiences clearly show why, in
the early part of this year, his associates
selected DR.. Strong to head the commits
sion that is waging war on typhus in
Servia. This commission consisted of
highly trained French, English, and Rus
sian sanitarians; and their unanimous
opinion made DR.. Strong their chairman.
Uncleanliness the Sole Cause
of Typhus
THE famous Austrian invasion of last
fall left $4,000 Austrian prisoners in
Servia's hands. The triumph proved an
embarrassing one, for Servia had few ia
cilities to handle these men. The best
the Servians could do was to distribute
their unwelcome guests all over the coun-
try, wherever the railroads could take
them. A few weeks after this distribu
ton typhus broke out in all the places
where the Austrians had been sent-a
fact that seemed to support the Servian
contention that the Austrian prisoners
brought in the disease. 1t displayed
terrible virulence. At that time all
Servia contained only about three hum
dred doctors, a large number of whom fell
victims to the disease. A number of the
few nurses in the country also succumbed.
Moreover, the nation had no resources to
handle the plague, since the fierce battles
had already filled the poor city hospitals
to Overlooking. The typhus-stricken peo-
pie lay sick in the streets and fields, in
doorways, in dry-goods boxes-they
crawled into whatever wretched places
were at hand. The disease, one of the
most contagious known, was spreading
with deadly rapidity. Had not the Red
Cross Commission, with DIR. Strong at it's
head, energetically taken charge of the
work, a large part of Servia must have
been swept away
The Servians three times had thrown the
Austrians out of their country; yet these
very Austrians, by introducing this dis
ease, more destructive than 42-centimeter
