According to Mr.. Cooper, the watch
came into his possession through the
merits of Tanlac. 1t happened. so he
says. about this way:
In one of the large cites visited by
Mr.. Cooper some time ago, the Young
son of wealthy jeweler suffered from
complaint which had baffled physi-
clans of the city and Eastern special
lists. The boy was anaemic, listless
and not at all playful and as livelv as
the other little fellows of his own age.
The parents said that the child's appe-
tite was irregular, at time ravenous
and that he was extremely nervous
and complained of twitching sensa-
ton most of the time. Itching of the
nose and dizziness were other symp-
toms enumerated by the jeweler.
HE asked me-" said Mr.. Cooper ''if
| thought Tanlac would help his child.
In reply, stated that he could test
the medicine on its own merits. The
result was that he bought Tanac for
his son.
Thinking nothing particularly of
the incident. was a little surprised

from the jeweler. stating that Tsnlae

STANLEY FOR GOVERNOR.

The man out of the numerous cen
didates already announced who beats
Stanley out will know he has been run
ming some before he reaches the goal. In
Congressman Stanley has been a power
full champion of the people against
trusts, and the trusts will defeat him
at the primary if they can. They will
not do it in an open fight, but by sup
porting some one of his opponents that
they will be able to control. The
tobacco growers of Kentucky will not
soon forget how Mr.. Stanley came to
their rescue during their wrestle with
the Tobacco Trust when they won out
organization, and that he freely gave
his service when others were being
paid for similar service. The big COM
binations hate him, and that is a pretty
good resson for the people of Kentucky
TO stick TO him. He will stump the
state now Congress has adjourned and
his position on all vital questions will be
made known to all before the primary.

with it all swiftness. precision. balance,
perfect control and certain wild beauty
full of freshness and humor.
The mind is spurred to sense OF new
power, a vague stir of expectation. pre-
monition of something new. And yet the
question, what is it? What does it mean?
What is the intention of this dance? Does
1t aim merely to please the eye. to tell a
story or to arouse feelings. the three
things we have learned to expect from the
dance?
The two dances We have seen are GER
tainly interpretative; they are frankly

other portrayed character. Applause.
insistent and long continued, brings the
two dancers cut again in quite other cos
tumes-a slightly modified Perrot and
Pierrette-and they dance for the pure
pleasure of emotion, real expression OF
the joie De vie. Again the question what
is the new thing that so pleasurably tickles
the eye and stimulates the imagination?
Is it art, or is 1t mere striving for the
bizarre?
In almost every definition Of art appears
the word beauty. a word which has &C
quired a pretty definite meaning. Is it
possible that there is q new beauty hither-
to undiscovered?
The modern painters have found, to their
own satisfaction at least. new beauty in
primary colors in sharply contrasted spots.
though for years We were taught that such
must not be used together. without the
aid Of shades or tints The musicians have
found a new beauty in intervals hereto
fore considered discordant, and In moving
at will from one so-called key" to an
other. The craftsmen and sculptors have
found new beauty in lines and masses.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-05-02

Why not a new idea Of line and form as
exemplifed in the dance?
Art" says the modern artist, does not
consist of imitation. but Of creation"
Therefore he appeals. not to the objective,
but to the subjective mind He presents
such lines, spaces. colors. as will suggest
to the subjective mind new thoughts, new
combinations of ideas.
Curious to know what theory, if any,
lies back Of this stimulating experience,
the interviewer sought the dancers in their
dressing room, where they held an almost
impossible pose for the artist to get de-
tails Of costume and line. The girl is rath-
er a serious person, with very definite
ideas about the dance, past, present and
to come. She has gone through the most
comprehensive training in old school ballet,
in classic dancing, in pantomime and in
trepretatiOn. She has words of praise for
the leaders Of many schools, yet she be-
lieves the perfect school is not yet.
Pavlowa, says Miss Knight, has never
been surpassed In technic; she has the
ideally perfect coordination and control.
Isadora Duncan has reached spiritual
heights no. achieved by anyone else; both,
she finds. perhaps will go further But
every school, according to Miss knight,

has been SO debased, so abused 1t should

Yes. the church. for Miss knight con-
siders that the dance may be as deeply
religious form of expression as the say

The futurlst dance-which may or may
not be the dance of the future-is the
creation. so far as America is concerned.
Of Bertha Knight, who first made very
thoroughly her own the technic Of the
dance of the past.
Bertha Knight came out of California
not SO many years ago, to study her art
with some of the greatest teachers of the
dance. Not only has she learned all that
they could teach. but she has practiced her
art in many forms. and in many lands,
going as far as South America as the
premiere danseuse of an Italian opera
Company. and winning many laurels In
her exposition Of conventional ballet, In
classic dancing and in the modern inter-
pretative dance.
But Miss Knight is not only a natural
and a joyous artist, but she is q woman
who thinks as well as feels.
Becoming interested in that ultra mod
ern expression in painting, sculpture, and
music which is called futurist she asked
herself why the dance should not seek
new mediums Of expression as well. The
aim Of the new art is not to initiate, but
to create; to present to the eye or the ear
such symbols as shall arouse emotions
feelings. thoughts that are new and fresh
or as new as anything can ever be. For
after all. the new is merely a different COM
bination Of elements that are old.
Let US go to one of Miss knights 70
citals. at which. with a partner as ex-
pert as herself, she tries to give US, in
terms Of the dancer a new sensation that
shall be productive Of fresh thoughts or
feelings In our faded minds. A shallow

perfect sense of freedom as do the rom
Pers. These can be made in two abso-
lutely different ways, with low neck and
without sleeves and closing over the
shoulders, or with sleeves and high or
low neck and closing down the back.
Apparently there Is no relation between
the two. yet such slight changes in the
cutting are required that the one pattern
sufiices for both. There are patch pockets
that are sure to be a real delight and the
garment is so simple, so easy to make and
so easy to wash and iron that it is simple
matter to provide an ample supply.
Bingham, chambray, galatea and similar
washable materials are the most suitable
ones. The garment closed at the back
can be made with high, square, or W
shaped neck; when it is closed at the
shoulders, it allows of a choice of
square or V-shaped openings, but must
be cut out.
