short change of edge at this point so
that at the very end of the first circle
the skater is on the inside edge of his
right foot for an instant in order to get
a purchase" on the ice for the strike
off," the shoulders being brought into
position and the skating knee slightly
Strengthened for the strike-off When the
left foot has begun the second circle the
head faces in the direction of motion.
The fourth section Of the Circle Eight
Is the Inside Backward which is by far
the hardest of the four and, for that rea-
son, is valued at in the official pro
gramme against l for each of the other
sections.
The difficulty in executing this figure
lies in the tendency to make the first cir
Gle too small. This may be overcome by
paying particular attention to the start
of Stand firmly on the left foot with
the right foot straight out in front; push
off hard from the left inside edge, lung
ing as hard as possible on the right in
side back. the right arm and shoulder
being held back and the eyes being
kept on the starting point throughout the
entire figure. The left leg at first is kept
in front pointing downward and out
ward, but It is brought slowly past
the skating foot on the inside OF the
print and carried in as near to a spread
eagle position as possible, the eyes fol-
lowing 1t to the end. By bringing the
arms quickly to the sides of the body
about the middle of the circle and
Strengthening the skating leg as the bal
ance leg is brought back close to 1t, the
skater will find 1t easier to execute this
figure.
The second circle of this figure, LIB,
is executed in a similar manner.
The second school figure is known as
the Serpentine, or Change of Edge, be-
cause II consists of a half circle on an
edge OF one foot followed by a full cir
Gle on the other edge of the same foot.
Like the Circle Eight, 1t consists Of
four sections, which may be designated
as 5a, SD. Ga and CD, as follows;
No. 5a Rolf, LIOF. No. Ga rob, LOB.
No. 5b LOFT, RIOF. No. CD Lob, ROB.
The first section (5a) is known as the
Forward, Outside to Inside, and consists
Of half a circle on the right outside edge,
changing to full circle on the right in
side edge, followed by half a circle on
the left inside edge, changing to a full
circle on the left outside. The first half
of the tigure is illustrated in Figure on
this page.
The first half-circle is executed exactly
like the first half of the ROF Circle
Eight. The skater bends well on the
right knee as the change is approached,
the left being brought to the front and
pointing downward, and the left shoulder
being slowly rotated forward. After the
change of edge has been accomplished
the left leg is dropped behind again and
the arms held low, and then the regular
RIFF circle is executed, the left leg being
brought slowly forward when about half
way through the circle.
This is followed by half circle on the
left inside edge, changing TO full circle
on the left outside edge, a change which
will be found more difficult than the pre-
ceding one.

The third and fourth sections of this
School Figure are skated backward. The

like an outside backward plain circle;
the balance foot is moved slowly back

the change of edge, the balance foot
moves a little faster forwards and over
the print, and shoulders rotate at the

AVE- how the
Circle Eight and the
Serpentine or Change
of Edge Are Made.
By Mr. Irving Brokaw
A Champion Figure Skater Of America,
Author Of the cart Of skatIns," Etc.


Author Of the cart Of Skating" Etc.
r Asst week we described the employ
ment OF the four edges of the
H. skates. Until the skater has at
tanned control of these four edges and
can Use them either forward or back
ward, it is useless to attempt the school
figures, which are the basis OF all figure
skating and dancing on ice.
Assuming then that the skater is now
able to describe curves on either edge
and both forward and backward, we may
now explain how the edges are used in
the various school figures.
A few words of advice which apply to
all the school figures may be in place
here.
It is a mistake to begin with small fig
ures with the idea that larger ones can
be executed afterwards. On the con-
trary, the beginner will find that the
easter way is to skate them as large as
possible right from the beginning 1t will
then be found comparatively easy to exc
cute them smaller when desired.
AS a general rule, would advise the
student to make the diameter OF his cir
Giles at least ten feet, and as much larger
as is feasible. tits better, however, to
complete the figure In correct form as
far as the poise of the body is concerned,
even at a sacrifice of size, than to main
tain the original idea of size and finish
inartistically.
In practising the various school figures
It is a good rule to follow right from the
start to execute each figure three times
on each edge before trying another edge.
The first of the school figures is the
SCircle Right" No. . in the Interna-
tiOn&l schedule.
This figure consists of two plain cir
eIes, the first circle being made on one
foot and the second circle on the other.
| In describing the various figures in the
course of these articles the following abb
breviations will be used: r, right; l.,
left; /, inside; o, outside; F, forward;
and B, backward. Right outside forward,
for instance, will be ROF, right inside
forward, RIFF, etc.
There are four sections OF the Circle
Eight, and they must be practised in their
prescribed sequence in order TO follow
out the system laid down by the rules
and regulations OF the international Skat.
ing Union, a system which is designed
to develop figure skating in logical way.
These four sections are as follows:
First Circle Second Circle.

Figure I on this page HuslIales tne
first section of the Circle Eight and this
diagram will also apply for the three
other sections. The following descrip-
tions apply to the right foot only, but the
figures must be executed on the left foot
in a corresponding manner.
Some valuable hints that apply to plain
circles generally may here be given.
Whenever the balance foot passes the
skating foot from backward to forward,
II passes close to il, so as to prevent ro-
tation, the knee being turned out, the
toe turned in. This is purely for artistic
effect, since the balance foot cannot pass
the skating foot with the heel touching.
Remember that when one foot passes the
other the knees never touch.
AS soon as you bring the balance foot
forward, rock (tilD the upper part of the
body slightly backward, in order to COM

A resolution was introduced in the
house on Tuesday by Mr.. FrletaS
which provided for a subcommittee

duct a sort of an investigation OF the
board of railroad commissioners to
see whether that board have in

the most economical manner The
motion to adopt the resolution was
lost and on motion of l.. L. TWichell
further consideration of the resolu-
ton was indefinitely postponed.
The Frietag resolution reads as fol-
lows:
whereas. The board of railroad
commissioners have filed with the
state auditor it's budget covering the
nj of its department for the
next biennial period amounting to
SAC, 500. The sail board since the I'LL

auditor having. voluntarily reduced
the same to the extent of $4,000, leav-
ing it's budget request at $41,5C0, and
"Whereas, 1t appears necessary

the departments OF state; that all un-
necessary expenditures of state funds
be eliminated, and in order to deter

Elects Two Bismarck Men.

jamestown. n. D., Feb. 10 Tie
State Association Of lBOttlers closed
it's meeting last night at the city hall
with the election OF officers. Devils
L,aka was designated as the next place
of meeting and the following officers
elected:
Louis Thurer, Minot, president.
F, w. Murphy, Bismarck, vice pres
ident.
J. P. Sell, Bismarck, secretary n
treasurer.
Directors-O. J.. Bostrom, Grand
Forks; w. S. Whitman, Grand Forks;
B. l.. Kimball, Fargo.
The association is known as the
Western Minnesota and North Dakota
Bottlers' Association. President Sell,
speaking of the association aid it's
increase of bushes in the state, SAID
there are now about 80 firms manu-
featuring carbonated beverages with
a capital invested of about So0O,0OO
and doing business of perhaps $4,000
600 in the state. Local firms make 80
per cent of tie drinks sold In the
state. With the enforcement of the
prohibition law, the consumption or
soft drinks has greatly increased and
there is now not a village or hamlet,
city or town in the state where IA
large amount of these drinks are not
sold, The ibottlers claim that Com
missioner Ladd is with them in their
precautions taken for the malufac'
ture of pure drinks of this description,
and while their business is strictly a
legitimate one and along the lines Of
temperance. they are required to pay
a license of $40 for the manufacture
of soft drinks and $40 fol. handling OF
elders. C%arbo1ated drinks are. also
healthful, they prevent the occurrence
of typhoid fevers, are palatab!e nj
refreshing.
The ibottlers also claim that they
are disseminated against 10y the law
of the state, which operates against
the pool rooms and the people who
handle soft drinks. The anti-gamblinS
law applying to pool halls has had /:
detrimental effect upon the sale OF
c%arbonated drinks, where it was the
custom for persons playing games Of
cards for the losers to pay for the
pop or cigars. Such legislation a:

tional. y,

SOUTH DAkoTA's EXPERIENCE.

South Dakota is attempting to cut
down the high cost of government.
That state is seriously considering
the abolition of the tax commission,
which costs the state $4,000 a bien-
lial period, without results. Former
State Auditor H. B. Anderson asserts
that the board of equalization is more
effective.
In South Dakota, as here. the tax
commission is attempting to create a
political machine through the selec,
ton of county assessors. This is be,
ing strenuously opposed. While
there may be considerable merit to
the county assessor plan, the tax COM
mission should moi be clothed with
the power to dictate the appointment
OF this official.
South Dakota is %agitating a board
of control for all penal and %eCucation-
al institutions to supplant some thir-
teen boards which control them now.
