them when they insist on opening their
convention with an exposition Of the
business of staging a Broadway beauty
show by Ned Weyburn, assisted by
the most beautiful maidens of the
Ziegfeld Follies? .
A little of the inside Of musical
shows will be explained this afternoon
to the 400 members Of the circle, who
will gather in the Green Room at the
McAlpin. Important secrets will be
barred to the followers of G.. Hepburn
Wilson, who believe that dancing
should express the whole range Of
human impulses. Undoubtedly the out
of-town dancing masters present will
enjoy the educational entertainment.
But-and here is the vital point-after
giving sanction to such unconventional
dancing, will the men of the Inner Cir
Gle be able to convince the group at the
Hotel Aston that they are passionately
devoted to the highest ideals of the
art? Sage observers Of the situation
last night pointed out that this point
might prove a stumbling block toward
peace.
Marks to Open Convention
But this doubt has been provided for in
part. To lend dignity to the conven-
ton the Inner Circle has invited Bor-
ough President Marcus NJ. Marks for
mally to open the session at o'clock
this afternoon. According to unveri-
fed reports, Mr.. Marks will refrain
from dancing.
Ottokar Bartick. ballet master of the
Metropolitan Opera House: Veronine
Vestoff, ballet master with Pavlowa and
Genne, and Mile Sonia Serovs, creator of
new dances, and William }. Lee. Super
visor of Recreation of greater New York,
will be among the notables on the pro-
gramme to-day. The Inner Circle
boasts Of Endorsement by stage dancers
and recreationsl officials. whereas the
conservative organization, its oppo-
nents declare, limps along with the
support only of dancing teachers of the
old school.
The Inner Circle will devote two
weeks to discussions and demonstra-
lions of the artistic and business side
of dancing. and the American National
Association of Masters of Dancing will
try to dispatch its business in eight
days. One of the momentous results
Of peace between the two groups would
be that they could use one meeting hall
instead Of two. 1t is rumored that the
local hotel men are opposed to peace.

MANY PROMINENT MEN

NOTED EX-MAYOR

FORMER MAYOR FRANK v. EVANS.
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA, MAKES
STRONG STATEMENT.

'NNE of the latest additions to the
~ large and rapidly growing list Of
prominent men who have publicly in
dorsed Tanlac for the good it has done
them, is the name of Hon. Frank V.
Evans, former Mayor Of Birmingham.
Mr.. Evans is one of the best known
men in public life in Alabama today,
being at one time editor of one of the
Souths greatest newspapers, the Bir-
mingham Age-Herald. He was also ex-
aminer of public accounts of Alabama.
In telling of the benefits he had de-
rived from Tanlac, Mr.. Evans said:
For years suffered with gastritis
and indigestion in the worst form.
was habitually constipated and had
pains in my shoulders and headache
continually. My appetite left me al
most entirely and everything 1 would
Feat hurt me. Finally got to having
awful attacks of acute indigestion, pal
pitation of the heart and smothering
spells. For long time / would have
one or more of these spells every night
and would wake out of my restless
sleep gasping for breath.
II bought bottle of Tanlac and to
my surprise and qualification l began
to feel relief after the first few doses.
| kept taking the medicine and now my
recovery Is simply the talk of Birming-

and sprinted ava doom the road efter

The stranger said he really couldn't,

WINE MAKES DRuNKARDs.

Some years ago, as w. 9. L. U.
organizer, / had occasion to take a
freight train one Monday morning
across q beautiful stretch Of the Sac
ramento valley to meet an appointment
for that evening. A freight train is
not supposed to stop often, but the
only passenger trains being through
trains with inconvenient hours, this
freight became an accommodation train
and stopped with terrific jolts wherever
tagged. This occurred many times and
each time a drunken man, perhaps two
or three, came aboard. Usually they
at once fell asleep In their seats and
with each jolt of the car were liable
to roll off. Asking the conductor for
an explanation was told, "Oh, these
are just Monday DRINKS, mostly farm
hands from ranches who have been
over at the winery on Sunday and were
too drunk to get home last night. Half
OF them won't be fit for work before
Wednesday,"

before the present cross-country rail-
roads were in use. J. went back and
forth like shuttle over the stage
roads, often with the same driver, Of
whom I asked so many questions that /
afterwards learned he assumed that /
was widow looking for a home to
purchase. His business was largely ex-
press, taking produce to market and
bringing parcels from town. At every
stopping place the courtesy of glass
of wine was offered. He sometimes ac-
cepted, extending the offer to his pas
sengers. In declining it / asked, as

peated my question, rs it intoxicating,
We say? Do We moind that? There was
Sunday picnic from the city up here
yesterday" and he pointed to the help
less figure of a well-dressed young man
lying hatless in the gutter under the
broiling sun, adding, "They get drunk
slower on this native wine, and it takes
deal longer to get 'em sober. He
won't get to work for day or two"
On my last day with this driver he
volunteered some friendly advice.
"Now, If It's home you're looking for
don't buy one Of these pretty vineyards.
They don't pay. I've been deputy
sheriff of this county many years, and |
know who gets sold out by the sheriff,
for I serve the papers," and the good
man drove out of his way to show the
chicken ranches that paid better than
vineyards. "And know that too," said
he, "for l take their chickens and eggs
every week to the railroad and bring
back their money."-Dorcas j. Spencer.
