DECATUR

Decatur, September 4.-(Special.)
Labor Day was observed in the De-
catLrs today by the closing down OF
all the shops and factories. There was
no public celebration of any consid-
cradle note. About the only thing do
ing during the day was barbecue
at Austinville, a suburb of Decatur,
where number of Louisville and
Nashville railroad shop employees and
their friends spent a quiet day. The
banks and the postoffices in both of
the Decaturs were also closed during
the day.
The Louisville and Nashville Rail
road company is placing wires on top
of the high fence surrounding their
local shops. 1t is said that the talk
o. the strike is the cause of this &C
, ton and the company is also hiring
number of special watchmen.
Some of the local attorneys say that
| the eight-hour law passed by Congress
will not stand the test of the United
States courts and that it is almost
certain that the act will be tested
in. the courts. Should this be done and
the act of Congress declared unconsti-
tutional the strike may come, later, 1t
is thought
However this may be, it is quite
certain that the Louisville and Nash
VILE railroad here is making every
preparation for strike and should 1t
come the company will be prepared to
protect their property.
Work has just commenced on a large
automobile garage on Bank street
| which will be built by T. M. Jones and
rented to one Of the largest automo-
\ bile companies in the United States
This company will occupy the garage
as a storage and demonstration ROOM

"Burgoo is the thick soup or thin

becue, and seems to have its origin, so
far as the name is concerned, in the

of the tendency common to mankind
to soften the rigors of rough fare by
the use of terms of ridicule or con-

the effect of making poor provender

C70HE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
OF DANCING MASTERS recently
held in Chicago was a most in
terestng affair and was attended by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Miles of this city.
The following by Oscar Duryea, who
was the originator of the new two-two
ballroom dance, appeared in the Chicago
Herald and will be read with interest by
many who dance:
After the committee of three, ap-
pointed by the American National AS
ISOLATION of Dancing Masters, had spent
nearly a week in trying out various
ideas for new idealstic ballroom dance
that should embody all the best features
Of the present-day dances, including the
waltz canter, the one-step, the two-step
and the foxtrot, the two-two came as an
Inspiration, and, when presented to the
convention and demonstrated by me,
was unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted.
The two-two is danced to two-two time,
thus deriving its name. 1t is rhythmic
and is the natural outgrowth of the three
leading modern dances, although unlike
any of them. In the performance of it
every dancer can express his or her own
individuality and the joy of the dance.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the rhythm
of the two-two is slow, but the steps are
sprightly, full of life, swing and the pull
sating joy of living 1t is an admixture
of the modern expression and interpret
tatiea of the dance, symbolizing the
transition from the old to the new.
1t can be danced to, any music, and
can, If occasion demands, be danced to
any prevalent modern dance rhythm, but
the fascination of the new rhythmic eX-
preston of the two-two time (the music
for it, will bring out the true science
OF this delightful new ballroom STEP
feature of the new music, never
before attempted in connection with any
dance. is that it will start off with only
the drums being used. Softly and grad
ually the whole orchestra will join in and
work up to a climax, toning down to
the finish.
The two-two is danced as follows:
will demonstrate the mans part, of
which the womans part is the reverse.

right foot forward, fast, count two; left

Passing the Plate .

when party of four persons are
dining, the hostess serving and pass
ing the plate to the person on her left,
should the plate be passed on to the
next person, or is it proper for the
first to keep it? I would appreciate an
answer in the Corner. L. D."
If the diners are doing their own
serving the hostess or host should in
dictate, in passing each plate, whether
or not it be intended for the one to
whom it is given. For instance, if Mrs
A. has said in reply to the carver's
query that she prefers white meat to
dark, the one who serves must spe-
city that she is to have the portion
designed for her. If no such choice is
announced, the obvious rule would
seem to be for the one to whom the
plate was given to pass it down the
line until it reaches the one at the
other end. The fact that no waiter is
on duty imparts a sort of free and
easiness to the meal that dispenses
with ceremony.
