DANCE And THUS
DISCOVER YOUR
RHYTHMIC Mate

Boston, March 1S.-"Rhythmic affin-
tiles" are developed by the dance, DR..
Dudley A. Sargent. gymnasium drec-
tor at Harvard said at a meeting of
dancing teachers here today.
When a young man finds himself
getting into the rhythm of just one
girl and finds that he cannot dance as
well with any other partner he has
found his rhythmic mate and he had
better stop and think" said DR.. Sar-
gent. And when the same girl finds
she cannot dance as well with anybody
but the same young man. they should
either announce their engagement
forthwith or break away. There are
such things as rhythmic affinities.',
Both DR.. Sargent and Louis A. Cha
lie. OF New York, predicted that the
waltz would displace the so-called
modern dances next season.

MULTIPLE KICK
BARRED IN RULES
Carrying Instructions from
Football Sidelines by Substi-
tutes Also Placed Under Ban

New York. March 1S.-New regula-
lions to curb the carrying of instruc-
tons from the side lines and the elm
pie kick formation are the outstand-
ing features of the new rules adopt
ed by the football rules committee for
the 1917 season.
Changes Made
The committee at it's annual session,
which closed here Saturday, instruct
ed the secretary to prepare corrections
and additions to the code to cover the
following changes:
A substitute player entering the
game must not speak to any other
player on the field until after the ball
has been put into play; in case any
change in the positions of the players
is necessary the incoming substitute
must give information through the
referee. In case the substitute takes
the place of the player giving signals
he may give the signals for the next
play but cannot speak to any player
until after the ball is put into play.
The penalty for a violation of this
rule is the loss of Is yards.
In order that the present rule may not
work a hardship, considerable leeway
has been given the referee in the matter
of inf1icting penalties for the failure of
q substitute to report to the game off,
Gals before entering the play. The new
addition to the code makes 1t discretion
airy with the referee whether or not the
penalty shall be imposed when the in
ty,rr ,1-fit ,,t Fol fn Orf hut
not interfere with the play or speak to
the players prior to the ball being put
into play.
Multiple Kick Barred
1t was further ruled that a goal from
the field could be scored only by place
kick or a drop kick, and the fact was
emphasized that a place kick was made
with the ball resting on the ground.
This would appear to bar the use of the
multiple kick formation as now In vogue.
as the ball is held suspended a few inches
above the ground when kicked. The use
of artificial tees for kicklff at the be-
ginning of periods was also barred.
Other changes include the giving Of
the ball to the offended side where
there is illegal interference with the
player receiving a forward pass. at the
point where the foul was committed. In
case the foul was committed behind
the goal line the ball goes to the Of
Tended team on the vineyard Tne. A
penalty Of five yards will be imposed
in the future for running into the
kicker and Is yards and disqualification
for roughing; the penalties to be i'm
posed from the point where the ball
was put into play
The referee is also empowered to per-
NIT the substitution of a new ball in
play on a wet field at the end of the
second period

TUG AND BARGE !.
DRIVEN ASHORE
Crews of Cumberland
and Her Tow Reach
Safety
BOTH VESSELS MAY BE TO.
TAI LOSS NEAR VINAL-
HAVEN HARBOR

Rockland, Me. March 1S.-The tug Cum
berland was wrecked on Green island,
near the entrance to vinalhaven harbor,
Saturday afternoon while trying to save
barge 7s7 Of the Lehigh Valley Transpor-
tation Co., which had broken adrtft from
her.
The end Of the cable became entangled
in the tugs propeller and that craft,
placed at the mercy Of tho northeast
sQuall. who driven ~ the heavy seas d.
rectly onto the point. The tug was so
near the land that Capt. Ralph A. Curtis
and his three men were able to jump
ashore. The barge dropped both anchors
but had no chance to swing free and
was soon pounding on the rocks.
The crew OF four men reached shore
in their life boat. and the eight ship
wrecked seamen were taken to Vinal-
haven by scallop fishermen. Tonight
the tugboat is only a battered hulk
while the barge is full Of water and in
danger of breaking in two.
The barge is loaded with paving
stones. consigned to New York. BY the
arrangement with the Lehtgh Valley
Company the Rockland tug, with It's
lighter draft, was to tow the barge to
the open sea. where the tow would be
shifted to the Lehigh Valley tug.
Barge 767 is a steel craft Of 527 gross
tons. built only five years ago. She
halls from Perth Amboy. Her esti-
mated value is about SCI, 1000 and she is
insured.
The tug Cumberland was known as
the L. A. Belknap when she was
launched at Philadelphia 40 years ago.
She did service for many years in Port
land Harbor. She has been several
times rebuilt and was valued at $4,000
Her owners, the Snow Marine Co., had
no insurance on her.

And with these developments, the
police were satisfied last night that the

theory that the unknown dead man
was the bomber.

last night was that Janitor Zeilinger in

court house lavatory, and was hasten
ing outside with it when he bumped
against Brady. entering the mems
