dream. Ruth st. Dents carried ones
memory back to the days when poetry
was king when music lurked everywhere
! to lul the wrath Of the gods--and
nobody went to work This is the picture
impressed upon ones mind on seeing
Miss st. Denis and her company of grace
ful dancers at Keith's II Is a trip TO
fairyland and more. Even Broadway
agreed long ago that the statucsque dancer
was the embodiment of the poetry of mo-
tion. Last night she lived up TO the
reputation.
Miss st Dents dances with her fingers
as well as her feet and always with her
eyes.
She tells story in motion as Eraphlc-
ally as II could be unfolded In words She
Is assisted by Ted Shawn, nimble dancer
of Apollo-like physique and dainty
diaphanous chorus. Based upon that Clas-
steal epigram that beauty unadorned Is
adorned the most n seNtette of nimble
nymphs disported themselves with the
abandon of springtime innocence.
with the evolution of art we have been
taught to believe that raimcnt is lncon-
gruous with progress, but who will say
when art shall stop "evoluting.'
Under the magic spell of beautiful music
Miss st. Denis first appeared as The
Spirit Of the Sea-" The vast stretching
ocean surrounded her on all sides as she
rose from the sand maiestiCally and
noated at the waters edge in evident
Contentment.
Later she was discovered In pretty
courtyard as ia peacock
Here she interpreted a legend of India
which tells how a proud princess because
Of her love of luxury was condemned
to tho life of peacock While her body
lies in a tomb her spirit. in the form of
a peacock, haunts the courtyard
In conclusion Miss st. Denis appeared
as an Egyptian dancing girl In Ancient
Egypt" ballet.
Between the dances of the star interest
ing numbers were given by the Misses
Vanderhoff, Andrews, Forman, Monzon
Horst and the Hindu assistants.
Miss St Denis and her company re-
ceived cordial appreciation.

UNDERFEEDING

Very few babies are underfed as to
quantity, but many are undeveloped
because their food does not assimi-
late. Study your own baby. Don't
listen TO the neighbors when they tell
you how many risks they run with
their babies. Food that digests, plen-
ty of water inside and out, fresh aid
and sleep, is all the recipe necessary
to raise high score baby.
AS a rule, babies are overfed ra-
Their than underfed. But IL the baby
cries as soon as the bottle is taken
away, and again beforet hen next feed
ing time, a careful increase may be
made day by day toward stronger
mixture, stopping at point where
he Is satisfied.

IOWA is FIRST

Iowa holds first place in the United
States in the number of autos per
capita, there being one machine for
every thirteen people. 1t is also sixth
among the states in the number OF
autos. On July LIST, the number of
cars registered in the leading six
states was: New York, 295,105; Ohio
.20S,705; Illinois, 203,755; Pennsyl-
vania, 1S9,0S2; California, 1883;
Iowa, 169,55S. The present regis
tration shows over $4,000 automo-
biles in Iowa, which undoubtedly
would give it still higher position.
The Iowa census of 1915 showed
1879 illiterates. Ten years ago,
there were 28,979 illiterates. Five
years ago the percentage of illiteracy
in Iowa was 1t. Today it is " per
cent. The average for the United
States is ~ per cent.

HOGS REACH RECORD PRICE

Hogs sold in Chicago at $11.50

Stock Yards Tuesday. This is the
highest price in the market known
there since the Civil war Dealers
predict all advanceto $1,000 per hun
dred pounds during September. On
the present market hogs are worth
more per hundred pounds than cat
tie. We understand that the con-
tracts to be filled for the European
armies and that of Uncle Sans have
caused the greatly increased price
paid for porkers.

DREAMY WALTZ RETURNS

The old-fashioned dreamy waltz,
is to supplant the tango, according to
Thomas McDongall, of Pittsburgh,
president of the American National
Association of Masters of Dancing,
which was in convention at Chicago
Tuesday.
THE old fashioned waltz always
led up to the time the tango made
its appearance and we propose to
re-establish it, President Nc
Dongall asserted. 81 don't mean that
the tango is to be done away with
entirely, we are going to devise a
new and conservative form for this
dance, the feature of which will be
simplicity"
