A Complete knowledge of the Six Fun
danental Steps Is Enough for Ball,
room Purposes, Say Dancers

as in the commencement of all the
dances | have explained so far) Now.
when you are ready to do the CorteZ,
you pause for two counts on the left
foot, which should be in the position
shown here. Now the right foot passes
back OF the left for one count. The
left shifts to the side a few inches
for one count and the right does the
same thing for one count excepting be-
hind the lefD Thus five counts have
been occupied and the feet should have
shifted 10 the music in this way, pro-
vded, OF course, that the music is very
simple
The lady's part OF this step is, of
course, just the opposite. She pauses
for two counts on her right foot, going
forward, her feet following the gentle
mans as closely as possible without
treading on them.
You must not be discouraged over
this step. II Is very difficult to do
smoothly, and you viii not get It with
out great deal OF patience and trouble.
Indeed, many good dancers have never
mastered it at all, and probably never
will. But that is because they do not
appreciate its difficulty or are unwlll-
Ing to give the necessary time to the
step. 1t can be done, and done well.
by any one who has patience enough 20
learn it. To get II perfect you should
do several steps Of the Cortez and then
walk, and then go back again into the
Cortez, If you can do this you have
practically mastered tho Argentine
tango
In the scissors the dancers prome-
forward with the outside foot they
do half turn inward-thnt is, the
man crosses the left in front Of the
right; now they do the promenade
step. the man with the right turning
inward, crossing the right in front of
the left. This can he done as often
as desired, and can he finished with
the Cortez or by continuing the prone
made. 1t is rather difficult to expln!n
but the photograph should convey the
meaning.

Dance to Be the Autocrat Of the
Up-tO-Date "SOirce Dansant'

"a knowledge Of six fundamental steps
is quite enough. one may work out
variations OF these. But you VIII ma
that when you once have mastered the
Cortcz. the scissors, FL Charron and
the ring. you can dance with any expo
nent Of the tango you are apt 10 meet.
Nor Is the tango as difficult as II
was at first supposed. More difficult
than the old fashioned tWostep, Yes.
Certainly more difficult than tho one
step. But once you get into the swing
and rhythm OF musi' more allurn@
than a Nicnnese waltz-wcll. you are
lost. More and more people are hocom-
ing proficient in the variations ~ this

danced professionally in Paris, because
there are so many good dancers there
that anybody who can dance the tango

Escaping From Fires
(CopWiGht /

Bronx fiat the other night
tho conversation turned on the
advantage of fire escapes. 1t wa,
found that OF five women above the
age or is who took part In the talk
not one could face the idea OF using
the fire escape to gain the street without
nervous apprehension that she would
fall
The men present with one execution
poohpoohed this weakness. This ona
exception declared that he could moi
look down from any high point with
out growing dizzy
why not a fiat fire escape drill
every so often?" asked one of the men
and although the women insisted thew
never could take part in such a dri,,
they nevertheless agreed that such an
experience would no doubt be beneficial
10 all,
1t was pointed out that tho public
schools have for years had fire drills
So that "A child away from home has
an excellent chance 70 escape in case
Of fire, But at home the non-use of
the escapes except in the case OF actual
fire leaves the ordinary nat dwelirr a
trembling being, afraid in many cases
even to step across the window sill to
say nothing OF descending the rungs Of
a ladder.

preparedness has been the cause OF

TO illustrate how to use escapes and
life preservers.

after he alighted from an interurban
car with two girls of Il years.
Garrett, who is about SO years of
age and said to be wealthy, had been
in Davenport only short time when
police became active. The girls ar
rested are Mabel Ruth LAGRANGE and
Ella Swalley. The prompt action on
the part Of the authorities was due
to clues and descriptions furnished
by Mrs, E. j Lagrange, 704 East
Tenth street, Muscatine, mother of
one Of the girls.
When Mabel left her home and did
not return promptly the woman be

PORFIRIO DIAz is
DEAD AT PARIS
Former President OF Mexico Passes
In Retreat Where He Had
LiFed Four Years.
HIS WAS LIFR OF ADVENTURE
Rose to Leadership and Power Prom
Obsenrity By Career as Leader
OF Rebellion

Paris, July 3-Members of the fam
lily OF General Porfrio Diaz have not
yet determined what arrangements
will be made for the funeral Of the late
president OF Mexico except that they
will be In keeping with his quiet life
ir Paris The ex-presfdent died last
night as the result of a complication
OF diseases due to advanced age.
General DlaL during his four years
residence in Paris made few &C
quaintanoes among the French people.
He received good many Mexieans.
especially when he first came TO
France.
He was always absorbed in the news
from Mexico but became more and
more distressed by the disorders there
as his friends by letter and in person
gave him Iessimistic accounts Of con-
ditions and the destruction of his IN
stitutions.
Never Regretted Resignation.
II does not appear that General Diaz
ever regretted his resignation from the
presidency Of Mexico after 30 years Of
rule nor that he felt inclined to re-
turn nor missed his loss of power.
Nothing that he told his friends would
indicate It.
Only once SO far as known, did the
general endeavor directly to influence
Mexican affairs. That was when he al
lowed two of his friends to use his
name in recommending to General Vic
toriano Huerta, when the latter was
provisional president of the republic.
that he yield 20 the desires Of PTesi-
dent Wilson and resign.
The letter with which General Por-
frio Diaz announced, on May %, 1911,
his resignation from the presidency
of Mexico after having been master of
the country for IS years gives in his
own words an interesting glimpse Of
his remarkable career. 1t reads:
Sir; The Mexican people who gen
erously have covered me with hOnors,
who proclaimed me as their leader
during the international war, who pa
triotically assisted NE in all works IN
dertaken to develop industry and the

position in the concert of nation-the

presence in the exercises of the SUI

this instruction.
Il do not know OF any fact imputable
10 me which would have caused this

though not admitting that ! may be

Therefore. respecting as / have always

in order to resign. unreservedly, the

reason since, in order to continue in
