a pleasing change. and as it is very
like the one step think it should be-
come popular.
On and off for the last three months
we have been introducing this dance
at various parties as il has always been
received with a great deal Of enthusi-
asm. So far as the music for this
dance is concerned, if you will play an
ordinary rag" half as fast as you
would play it for the one step you will
have a pretty good idea of the music
and tempo.
And now for the dance itself. Be-
fore teaching the steps | should like
you to listen to the music. You will
find absolutely no difficulty in dancing
to it but the natural inclination is either
to dance every fast step double time
to the music or very slow steps with
It,
The latter is what most people do,
and what is more they seem 10
enjoy It, But it seems to me that as
to keep up the dance in the one way
is too fast and in the other too slow,
the only real solution is to combine the
two. BY doing this you not only make
the dance comfortable but you also
make it possible to do a great variety
of easy and amusing stems

1 precious stones IN laboratories
~ in New York, Paris, Berlin and
other cities and putting the
manufacture of these products upon
commercial basis, so that there has been
an increasing sale Of the artificial gems
TO the public. The greatest progress
in perfecting the laboratory gems and
making them exact limitations of nature
has been achieved in the last ten years.
Enthusiastic chemists make the pre-
diCtlon that the laboratories are grad
uaIy hut surely replacing the mines
and the depths of the sea as the source
from which the public is getting its
jewels. They say tina; the artificial gems
are not only identical with those of
nature IN constituents and essential
qualities, but are actually superior in
uniformity of texture and in Coloring.
The chemists have been working to
produce all of the FIVE principal
varieties of gems-diamonds. emeralds,
rubies, sapphires and pearls All other
varieties are classed as semi-precious
stones and their imitation does not offer
the same possibilities of profit as in the
case Of the chief gems.
The trumphs to which the chemists
point with most pride are the scientific
or synthetic rubies and sapphires, which
are declared to be identical in all chemi-
cal and physical properties with natural
stones. a French chemist, in speaking
recently of the scientific ruby, made
some statements which have aroused
n lively discussion in the jewelry trade
both in Paris and in New York. He
said that even skilled experts can no
longer distinguish the true ruby from it's
factory made imitation. AS a proof of
this statement he pointed to the fact
that more than a million carats of

MORE CANDIDATES
FOR CONGRESS

Not Unlikely that Several More Cam
didatcs will Contest for Jolnson's
Seat mt Washington.
Spartanburg, May 1S.-It is not un-
likely that there may be several more
candidates for congress from the
Fourth district before the lists close
finally on July 5.
1t was learned yesterday that Fl. II.
Arnold, of Woodruff, now serving his
fifth term as member of the house
of representatives from Spartanburg
county, may be candidate for the
seat in congress made vacant by the
resignation Of Joseph Il. Johnson.
afternoon, Mr.. Arnold stated that he
was considering making the race, but
had not yet definitely decided wheth-
er or not he would run.
Horace l.. Bomar, a we'll known
lawyer, of Spartanburg, has also had
under consideration the matter of en-
tering the race for congress. Asked
about his possible candidacy yester-
day afternoon, however, Mr.. Bomar
stated that while he had been urged
by number of his friends to run,
he did not think it likely that he
would enter.
No positive announcement has yet
been had from Alvin H. Dean, the
we'll known Greenville lawyer, who
has been seriously contemplating the
race for congress.
Meanwhile, the five candidates who
have already announced for the posi-
ton are busy making their aspira-
tons known among the voters of the
district, although the official cam
paign will not open until about July
or 6. They are: w. w. Johnson
Of Union; Sam J. Nichols, |. c.
Blackwood and r. j. CAN'T, of Spar
tanburg, and B. A. Morgan, of Green
vile.

Retention III Office Oi Premier SaIan-

dra Taken rs Indication that War
will soon be Declared.
London, May 16.-Thc King OF Italy
has refused to accept the resignation
of Signor Salandra and the premier
and whole war Cabinet retain office.
This, it is confidently believed here,
foreshadows the almost immediate
entrance of Italy into the circle of
belligercnts on the side of the allies.
Action, however, may be delayed UNI
til the meeting of the Chamber of
Deputies on Thursday, when the pre-
mier will announce his policy and will
receive the support Of majority OF
the Deputies.
Should the expected action of Italy
materialize the allies will be in a bet
ter position than ever to launch their
big offensive movement against Aus
tria and Germany, which is being pre-
ceded on the western front by Sc
ries of attacks, furnishing foretaste
of what is to come.
Scarcely had the German attacks on
the British lines around Ypres ex-
hausted themselves and the French
offensive north of .Arras show signs
of coming to an end that the British
became the aggreSsorS north of La
Bassce and the French and Belgian
troops began their attempt to throw
the Germans back from the User
Canal.
These attacks, according to the
French official account, which, how
ever, does not agree with that from
Berlin, were successful and again
compelled the Germans to counter-at-
tack-the most costly of all opera
both points continues today and in
Arlois, where the French added
further slight gain to those made dur
ing the week, and which combined
constitute the biggest forward move
ment of either army in the west since
the battle Of the Marne.
Fighting also is in progress in the
Woevre, particularly west OF the for
est of lie Pretrc, which the French
also won during the past week.
There does not appear to be much
change in the situation in Galcia al
though the Austro-German armies
have been able to make an additional
slight advance by the withdrawal of
the Russia rear guards, which have
been holding off the victorious troops
until their own armies could get into
new positions behind the San River
This territory promises to be the
scene Of another big battle for the
Russians, strongly reinforced, will
make desperate effort to stem the
tide which has been running sc
strongly against them.
In the Russian border Provinces
later engagements are occurring in
which both sides claim to have the
advantage.

WILSON REVIEWS
AMERICAN FLEET

Says Great Battleships Are Engines
to Promote the Interest OF Human-
ity.
New York, May 17.--President Will
son today reviewed the Atlantic fleet
in the Hudson River and at luncheon
rendered to him on shore by the city
gathering what the country and it's
navy stood for. The great battleships
that lay in the river, he said, "were
engines to promote the interests of
humanity.
"The inspiring thing about Ameri-
a." the President asserted, "is that
she asks nothing for herself except
what she has a right to ask for hu-
manity itself We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
tion's honor; we wish to stand selfish
ly in the way of the development of
no nation. 1t is not pretension
on our part to say that we are privi-
legged to stand for what every nation
would wish to stand for and speaking
for those things which all humanity
must desire"
The spirit which brooded over the
river today, said the President, was
| "just solemn evidence that the force
OF America is the force of moral prin-
, ciple; that there is not anything else
that she loves, and that there is not
anything else for which she will con-
tend"
The President took occasion to pay
tribute to Secretary of the Navy Dan
/ iels. who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and
chilly, with occasional downpours Of
rain, the weather abated in no way
the enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head of the nation. In the
forenoon he reviewed land parade
Of 5000 sailors and marines, and from
the moment he set foot on shore until
he returned to the Maynower to re-
view the fleet, his progress through
the streets was a rntinuous ovation.
He was plainly toL>hcd by the well
come accorded him.
Everywhere spirit Of patriotism
was shown. Many men and women
seized every opportunity to tell the
President Of their support in the pres
ent international crisis. Thousands
stood in the chill drizzlc while the
brigade of sailors and marines march
ed up 9th avenue, and during the af-
ternoon with cold, damp wind blow
ing across the Hudson, and thousands
more later throngcd vantage points tc
watch the Mayflower as she passed
~ the river between the warships.
The Presidents remarks at tho
luncheon were greeted with trcmen.

the editor was solicited to join a

made a purchase at a store and got
a duplicate bill printed at Chicago
and wrote a check on a bank prin-

an editor expect to join lodges and
pay bills on such tIeatment as that
and all the time tell the people to
