Walk, Says Originator

first position Of the step, which they
may continue any number of times.
To learn this sep correctly a little
patience is necessary. I advise doing
il very slowly at first, so as to get the
exact position OF the feet and body.
DO not let your partner walk away
from you, but keep opposite each other
as much as possible and do not turn
abruptly. The figure should be danced
N d square. II you take the four walls
Of the room as your guide you will
find the step much easier to learn. The
gentleman should keep his right hand
very loosely at the lady's back, SO that
she can turn with ease.
The lame duck is nearly always
danced 20 waltz music and has become
very popular dance for those who
do not do the hesitation waltz but
who prefer not 10 sit while others dance
IL. In other words, IL Is not only an
attractive dance in itself but very
popular substitute for the hesitation
about which l shall speak at another
time.
In doing the lame duck the gentle
man. as usual. starts forward on his
left foot and does a half sliding dip and
half limp for two counts; then the
right foot comes to his relief for just
one count, and in this way he, as 1t
were, shuffles forward, the right knee
STRENGTHENING more or less and the left
knee remaining bent.
The lady's part is naturally just the
| opposite. She starts back on her right
foot for two counts, and then on her

ners and the like,
As this is very firing on one leg
| the step can be changed by having the
gentleman hold his weight on the left
| foot for three counts, making a pivot
movement or not, as he wishes, and
continuing backward, making two
counts on the right and one on the
left. This has the effect OF changing
the weight of the body to the other foot
and causing the gentleman 10 do the
lady's step and the lady the gentle
mans. / feel sure IL is unnecessary
to explain the lady's part OF all this
She naturally Is at all times opposite
her partner and does the corresponding

is always very useful while you are
thinking of a good one" In dancing
the lady may go a few steps back while
the gentleman takes the corresponding
number of steps forward, or the gentle
man may turn and walk in the same d.
rectlon as the lady. This walking was
done years ago in the comic opera The
Merry Widow" and was considered very
pretty. Then, ! think, the gentleman
walked. not opposite, but at the side of
the lady, and she went backward while
he went forward.
II you wish to dip a trihe in this walk
II will look quite well If done rhyth-
mcally and with the correct poise of
he body
The wind up, while very simple, is
hard to explain. The lady backs away
from the man a few steps until her
right and his left arm are outstretched
at fun length in front of them. The
gentleman turns to left" in the same
spot. while the lady walks around him
at the left side until she comes face to
face with him again, which winds her
right arm around his neck,
In describing this step il loses its
charm, but If 1t is properly done it looks
very pretty. AS soon as the partners
are face to face again they let go their
| hands and take the same position, with
| the arms as in the start of the dance.
In the promenade the position is the
same as in the figure eight Of the one
step. The man, who would be walking
| forward, turns the lady so that she is
| facing in the same direction as himself
They then walk forward, the man with
his left and the lady with her RICH,
one two and three. On the "and" the
man steps forward on his left heel, and
on the third count the right foot shifts
forward to the back Of the left heel
taking the weight, SO you see there are
really four steps to three counts like
| this-one, two and three; left foot
right, left right. This step can be re-
peated as many times as desired.

One Item in German War Bill

tn HE losses suffered by the big Ger
man steamship lines because Of
l. the war will be increased by
complications arising in regard TO ships
interned at this and other American
ports. After the conflict is over and The
liners are able to resume service they
will come under the supervision Of the
United States steamboat inspectors and
their life saving equipment will have TO
meet the requirements OF American
laws, This will cost the big lines a
large amount Of money.

ply with the local regulations. Even IL
peace was declared tomorrow II is likely
that a majority OF the great German
liners lnterned here and in Boston would
be liable TO American maritime laws
because their inspection period in Ger
many would have expired.
There are many items in which the
German liners do not comply with the
United States laws in regard to lifeboat
equipment. and all these will have to
be supplied before the ships will be
allowed to leave port The Vaterland
for example, has eighty-four lifeboats,
and 1t is probable that the following
articles will have 10 be added 10 the
equipment of each boat: one pyro-
technic Coston signal, known as a two
minute signal, costing s., and a sea drag
and oil spreader for calming the waves,
costing $3.50. This is a new appliance
made necessary by law and is Just being
placed in the boats of American steam
ers. The drag or small sea anchor Is
designed TO keep the boats head to the
sea, while the oil keeps the waves from
breaking over her. 1t is regarded by
American experts as a notable addition
to the life saving outfit
1t win be seen that the total cost, OF
Quitting the Naterland alone with these
| appliances will be $500. 1t is also likely
that the boats will have TO be fitted with
the now brass topped bread breakers
used in American lifeboats, costing SO
each, spare oars and dtty bags and II
the boats are not fitted with the new
releasing gear required by the American
! laws This will also have to be added at a
cost OF $50 each; also fifty gallon oil
tanks, one forward and one aft, costing
from Slj to $50 each.
At a rough estimate Il is believed that
these items will mean an expenditure
OF about $4,000 to outfit a steamship
| like the Naterland, and as there are
dozen other big German liners interned
here and in Boston it will be seen that
the total expenditure will be large
Vessels like the George Washington,
Amerika, Kronprnzessin Cecile Presi-
dent Lincoln, President Grant and Gin
cinnati will all have to comply with the
American laws TO say nothing OF the
smaller liners, whose cost will be pro-
portionate.
The most costly article which must
be placed aboard the German ships II
they come under the United States mar
thine regulations, outside of lifeboat
equipment will be a Lyle gun. Tn Sc
guns. used for firing a line, cost $3.50
each and one OF them must he placed on
each ship. With this gun 1t will be
necessary also to purchase special

VALUE oF RAISING THE FL.

One would expect that all the knowa
appliances for raising submarines would
be established in harbor where subma.
rines are gathered so numerously for
practice as at Honolulu; but, as a mat
ter Of fact, there seems to have been a
serious lack of such appliances when the
L. S. F4 went down to the bottom Of
the harbor last week. The rescuers even
had to wait for construction of some of
the appliances, if the newspaper reports
are to be credited, before all the efforts
at rescue Of the imprisoned men could be
carried out. Honolulu harbor has been
training ground for United States sub
marines for some time and it should
have been provided with every reason
able appliance.
In view of the assertion by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels that the F-4 viii
be raised at any cost, it seems likely
that steps will be taken at once to inn
prove the conditions which surround the
practice submersions of these most deli
cate agencies Of war, while at the same
time efforts will be made to prevent a
repetition of the disaster. If the sub
marine is allowed TO remain on the bot
tom Of the ocean there will be nothing
but speculation over the cause Of the
accident and the under.sea service OF the
United States will have made no inn
proyement a. the result OF the disaster;
but if the craft is brought to the surface
IL is possible that discoveries may be
made which viii prevent conditions on
other submarines which lead to destruc-
ton. Incidentally, the bodies Of the q
men who met their fate locked in the
chambers Of the submarine will be recov-
cred for proper disposal BY their rela.
tiyes. Therefore the assertion Of Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels finds ready
support everywhere.

Millionaires Gaiorel

Strange reports for these times OF
psychological depression come from Chi
cago, reports only in part explained by
the party loyalty of the Democratic Of
ficials responsible for their issuance. The
United States district attorney, for ex-
ample, confides TO the reporters that
there are 500 Chicago millionaires, with
incomes ranging from 500 900 to Sl0,-
600 a year, who have failed 20 make
any federal tax return. We do not know
the number OF Chicago's confessed mill
lionaires, but we should regard such a
number unnotced as evidence of a fair
sized town. Here again the old rivalry
with New York crops out The district
attorney. recalling that Manhattan is
land contributes one-third OF the ma
tons income tax. signs for a time when
Chicago will be more nearly abreast Of
her eastern competitor He implies that
this particular disparity may be in part
due TO a more reluctant attitude among
Chicagoans toward approaching the tax
gatherer.
Not content with this showing Of the
millionaires, the internal
revenue collector estimates" that Sl5,-
100000 in annual salaries, subject to
federal income tax, is also escaping pay
ment. lie proposes TO start a corps of
deserving Democrats on a house.to-
house canvass to hunt up the doubly-
fortunate men Such canyassers may
be assured OF a more hearty welcome
than is ordinarily accorded 60 their clan.

and neutral ports like that which took
place yesterday, with the consequent
shrieking and suffering, and in many
cases, the death of innocent non.combat
ants, including women and children. As
if the perils OF the deep, as shown in the
Titanic disaster and that to the Empress
of Ireland in the st. Lawrence, were not
enough without mems undertaking need
lessly to add to theml The whole grue-
