But good deal depends the machinery the power,

The Fox Trot Flourishsd In Good Old DaysI

"HE fox trot was a dance which
nourished a long time ago in the
4 good old days Of the modern
dance.
Many skilful dancers remember this
step very well. Itlwas extremely popu-
lar in the 4vinter Of 1919. and in
many out of the way corners Of the
world quaint, old fashioned people may
still be found performing it
The fox trot was first introduced in
1914, but was invented q long time be-
fore by about I1.OOO,0OO,0OO boys, who.
by drawing up alternate legs very rap
idly while being thrashed, produced the
poetic motif from which this famous
dance was invented
The fox had nothing to do with it
IN this case he was simply the goat
The dance was named after him because
he could not prevent it
The fox trot can be danced by one,
two or three persons The step is
easier when done alone. On the other
hand a partner can keep count Of the
steps half the time thus giving the

After full consideration Of all the possibilities in the

Probably our military observers would have some

engineering arplane scouting, transportation service

be expected to render assistance in training recruits,
free the officers of the European allied armies for
service at the front. But it would hardly be cOn-
tempated that we should throw any considerable

time, though that might come later
In case a state of should supervene, The Herald
would expect that first military problems would
be domestic 1t would be unwise at this critical
moment to indicate IN what ways these might arise

to be fully alive to this contingency.
