About FOLK Dancing.

Another important question con-
sidered was presented by Miss Burch-
email, leader of the folk dance move
ment in New York City, who stated
that by far the larger part of the dane
ing given as folk dancing did not
properly belong in that class and was
only fancy dancing masquerading as
folk dancing. According to this author
ity, posing, artificial motions OF the
hands, and high kicking are absolutely
foreign to genuine folk dancing, the
former being for exhibition purposes
and suggesting the vaudeville stage,
the real folk dancing being merely
self expression for everyone present
to take part in not for exhibition, but
for the sake of social rhythmic ae-
tivity. This point was forcibly mace
and met general approval"

TREASURY BOOKKEEPING
INCREASES ITS BALANCE
Nearly $s5, ,OO0, 900 Added, But
There Is No More Money
in the Vaults.

Slight changes in methods OF book
keeping. designed to make the daily
Treasury statement absolutely accu-
rate and comprehensive to the gen
eraI public, have resulted in increas-
ing the working balance without add
ing a dollar to the amount actually on
hand. These changes, announced In
Treasury Department statement, in
voIve the carrying of balances in the
hands of disbursing officers as assets.
rather than liabilfties-or disburse-
ments-and the carrying of amounts
deposited with national banks for the
retirement of national bank notes in
the same manner, as assets instead of
liabilities.
The new form OF statement also
gives assets and liabilities divided into
three general classes-gold. silver dol
lars and the general fund. This
statement shoWs at glance the
amount of gold and of silver in the
Treasury the liabilities against such
coin or bull on and the actual condi-
tion of the general fund.
The result of the application of the
new system, as shown in the first
days report of condition yesterday,
was to increase the working balance of
the general fund of the Treasury by
nearly SS5.000,000. jumping the fund
from about s4O.000,000 to more than
SIPS, 100000 without the addition of Il
single new dollar to the balance

MILITARY ACADEMY HEAD
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT
Calls Attention to Continued Large
Number of Vacancies and Makes
Recommendations.

Col. c. P. Townsley, superintendent
of the United States Military Academy,
in his annual report to the War De-

tinued large number of vacancies,
which this year total 70 out of the au-
thorized number of 706.

being nominated as candidates. failed
to even report for examination. Many
of these were alternates whose prin-
cipals had submitted approved certif-
Gates, but there still remain a large
number who fail to report for no ap-
parent reason except perhaps indif-
ference or fear of failure, thus pre-

capacity of 700 very closely
The desire of the academy being to
secure the best and most promising ma
terial for officers in the regular army
there should be no lowering of its
standards for entrance or of it's re-
Quirements as to discipline or academic
work.
With the regular army limited in
number as 1t now is and the corps of
cadets up to the capacity of the acad-
officers can be supplied from graduates
of the academy. If there are 700 cadets
in the corps there should be an average
graduation of about 100 per year"
Urges Competitive Contests.
Regarding the filling of vacancies.
Col. Townsley says: THE admission of
candidates by certificates made no ap-
preciable change this year in the per-
centage of vacancies filled under en-
trance requirements. There remain 79
untitled vacancies July 9, 1915. About
IS per cent of the cadets found de-
ffcient in the last fourth class entered
after certificate entrance was author
lied. l believe that the most certain
and satisfactory way of filling vacant
cadetshps is by competitive examina-
tion for each, and ! also believe that
this method will give much better
mental average of material for cadets
and for officers in the army"

Flea Ties Up Traffic.

You wouldn't believe that such a

dog sat down on the car tracks and
gave himself completely over to the
serious business Of scratching. At
this moment taxicab came bound

q straight course, but turned to avoid
the irritated pup and at the same
time applied his emergency brakes
