seriously and widely discussed in private

HERE YOU ARE, GIRLS,
new FOX TROT "HOLD"
His Arm Goes Around Your Waists
that Newp
tecial 10 me- Washinrt0n HeraId.

sEec1al to The Washington Herald.
New York, Sept 10,-J. ]. Hilgallen, who
abandoned electrical engineering in his
home city OF Schenectady to become a
dancing professor, yesterday declared
that the fox trot will trot a good deal
this winter, accompanied by the one
step and the slow and syncOpated waltzes.
Practically the only new things about
dancing, he said, are the positions. 1t
was explained by other members that
it has been found that the grip, or hold,
was being overdone. and therefore some
thought had to be given to this i'm
portant matter.
In the new position" it was explained
for the benefit of the reporters, the
mans right arm or hand is to be placed
on the woman's waist instead of around
her neck"
Won't It tickle?'' he was asked by a
very young man.
Il said" continued the dancing master,
that the new position is far better than
the old. But let me continue. The wom-
ans left hand. instead OF being around
her partners neck, Is placed on the mans
right arm, with a little pressure. You
must remember that all the freak posi-
tIons come from the cabaTets."
Walking the dog, the cOrkscrew glide
and the other funny named dances are on
the blacklist with this association. as
also are the tactiques militaries The
dignity of dancing. they say. must be up
held, even to the names of the steps.

Of the two converging machines landing
with both feet on the black cars running
board, and steadying himself by a left
hand grip on one OF the seat arms, he
struck fierCely at Tanner.
The latter, in recent memory OF his
battle with this sledge-hammer hitter,
shrank back from the blow. Harold
swung himself on board into the seat on
which Tanner supported the senseless
Florence.
Before he could strike again, Tanner
had jumped out Of the rapidly going car
rolled over once in the roadside mud and
then scrambled to his feet and set OF at
a dead run down an adjoining highway.
Harold, leaning forward, swung for the
head of the black cars badly ratified
driver. who promptly followed Tanners
example in swarming out over the vehi-
,cle's side without even the formality OF
opening the door.
The car, its wheel deserted, veered
sharply to one side. Harold lunged over
to the seat back and jammed down the
emergency brake. The ma chine came to
a sudden and jarring halt.
Vainly Harold sought to revive the
senseless girl. At last he lifted her ten
derly from the black car and bore her
across to his own roadster.
Drive TO DR.. Montrose's," he directed
Ile cha dullcuI
quarter hour later Harold carried his
fragile burden up the steps OF the great
Montrose house in Riverdale His ring
at the bell was answered by Felix, the
doctors Crafty-faced silent-footed valet.
Tell DR.. Montrose his daughter has
tainted" ordered Harold. Il will take
her into the library"
This is no faint" declared DR.. Mon
trose "She is in a hypnotic trance"
"A hypnotic tranCe?" repeated Harold,
increduouely. 1T can't be. Look he
broke of, as Florence's big dark eyes
slowly opened. She is coming to her
senses"
Dr. Montrose passed his hand in front
of the blankly staring eyes. They did
not wink nor change expression.
She sees nothing" he said sadly. She
sees nothing. She hears nothing. She
is in a profound hypnotic trance. as
said"
Il can't bear to see her beautiful eyes
with that awful look in them" cried
Harold, with an uncomfortable shudder
''If she is really in q trance can't you
rouse her from it?''
No" breathed the heartsick father,
between ashen lips. y cannot rouse her

order to the black cars chauffeur and
lift his burden into the car itself fol-
lowing her as the chauffeur bent forward
to press the self starter.
This much Harold Stanley saw, and
he wanted to see no more. For he recog-
nized the apparently sleeping girl as
Florence MontrOse
Out of the suite he dashed, thrusting
aside the OBTAINING Vanya and running
steps at time.
After what seemed to him a century
or more he reached the sidewalk and
sprang into his own gray roadster.
DO you see that black touring car
away up the street there" he yelled to
his wondering Chaffeur. Overhaul 1t
and I'll double your pay"
The chauffeur-a true New Yorker
needed no further exhortation. The road
ster shot forward at a speed that defied
every traffic law ever made.
In two minutes the black car was less
than a block ahead.
Then it was that Tanner, turning idly
to look back. saw his pursuer, He shout
ed to the chauffeur. The black car. in a
little more than its own length. nearly
redoubled its former speed.
The race had begun.
Uptown whizzed the gray car and the
at that fearful pace there was no chance
for turning corners. There was infinite
risk indeed of guiding the flying cars
through such everthinning traffic as they
encountered.
Again and again they barely avoided
collision or destruction from slower and
larger vehicles.
Again and again policemen sprang out
to stop them; then shrank back just in
time to escape death, and blasphemously
jotted down the racers numbers.
Inch by inch, as the more open country
was neared, the gray roadster began
to creep up on the speeding black car.
In another mile the gray car cut down
the distance between itself and its prey
far more rapidly than before.
Harold, leaning far forward at his
chauffeur's side, understood why. for he
could hear the black machines engine
begin to miss" and he knew, bar acci-
dents, the race was his own.
The gray roadster in a few minutes
more crawled alongside the handicapped
touring car, whose engine now was all
but useless.
With a flying leap, as the gray car
came up with it's quarry, Harold covered
the space between the running boards

story OF the front trenches is contained
in a letter from a British soldier serving

The Saxons used to have a chap with

He was easily heard in our front

quiet there were no songs to listen to,

CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-"The eco

thrive only with a long day, and that
any curtailment of 1t would be de-
structive. can be met very effectively
by the fact that shortening the work
period, even to eight hours, almost

Of physiology in Columbia University,

Health associations annual meeting

DIR. Lee, in discussing this matter,
made it plain that he was not in any
sense considering the political aspects
OF the eight-hour problem. 1.-The
eight-hour problem is primarily a
problem of, physiology; If the physi-
illogical effects of any kind of labor
are bad, its conditions ought to be
changed" said DR.. Lee. '"This is fun
damental, and should precede any
consideration of the eco mic and So
cial effects of change Of conditions.
Since the middle of the nineteenth
centur. the eight-hour day has been
the goal of labor. It has gradually
been gained, and is doubtless des-
tined to become very widespread.
The duration of daily hours should
be determined by tn, physiological
effects of the work, and, secondarily,
by its economic and social features.
Labor produces fatigue. and. when
continued farther, exhaustion.
