Terpsichore has won again.

Terpsichore has won again.
Numberless instances there are Of
business affairs neglected for tango
and fox trot, of dinners permitted to
grow cold because of the foot-quicken-
ing strains of syncopated melody.
Bat not until now has the craze for
dancing appeared as menace TO de-
mocracy. And in employing the latter
term, it must be accepted both in its
political and institutional sense.
Mayor Mitchell has been able to re-
tain his interest in Democratic poll
ties even while executing the latest
steps of the ballroom. Not so with the
members of the Balmoral Democratic
Club, at 1900 Broadway. They cannot
attend TO their political duties and at
the same time fulfil their obligations to
the spirit OF the times.
Hence, and therefore, the Balmoral
Democratic Club yesterday obtained
permission from Justice BLUR in the
Supreme Court 10 change its corporate
name TO the Balmoral Cotillon Club.
This is the reason given in the petit
tion Of the club, signed by A. Bertram
Spencer, secretary: That the said
members Of the corporation are not
any longer taking an active part IN
politics, having absolutely given up
that part in the clubs affairs and bust
ness. and that they are devOting most
of their time to the social welfare and
intercourse among its members

THOUSANDS SAVED
BY BUYING BUREAU
City Departments Combine to
Show Arguments for Gen.
trail Purchasing.

Potent arguments for the establish
ment of the Central Purchasing Blu
reau: bill for which is now in the
hands of the Legislature. are found ir
the results obtained by the central
purchasing committee, which by mu-
tual agreement has been letting joint
contracts for a number of the Mayors
departments.
This committee has just completed
the letting of contracts for food for
age and fuel. Food was purchased for
the departments of Health, Charities
Correction and Bellevue and Allied
Hospitals. The milk and cream con-
tract was for six months. Milk is 20
be purchased at a cost of As cents, as
compared TO 5.45 cents a quart under
the last contract. As the contract
calls for 100000 quarts the saving
will be more than 100000.
Butter is to be bought at 25.6 cents
a pound, and on a contract for 172, 900
pounds there will be saving OF
S6,986.S5. On meat contract for three
months it is estimated that S207 000
will be saved. The egg contract calls
for 10000 dozen candled eggs and 105.
600 dozen uncandled eggs in six
months, at a saving of about $4,000
over the last contract prices.
In the letting of sixteen fuel con,

saving in spite of the work of what
has been called the fuel ring.

The National Child Labor Committee
sent the following telegram to Gov

The National Child Labor Commit
tee urgently petitions you to veto the
Bewley cannery bill, extending work
hours of women and children to sew
enty-two a week. This measure, pro-
NOTED by an openly selfish group OF

decency of the Empire State. and We
confidently rely on your wisdom TO
preserve US from such public disgrace.
I'VE see no other course to take at
this time" said Owen K. Loyejoy, gem
eral secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee. The bill has been
framed up by special interests in the
Legislature and the protests of an out
ragged public count for nothing. We
are assured that there is no doubt Of
the bill being rushed through the Sen
ate as it was through the House.
