LONDON TAPS" LATEST
Dance Which Is Combina-
ton of Fox Trot and
Grapevine Is Rage.

Do you dance the London Taps"
You do II YOU are up to date.
For this Is the dance of the hour.
Because of Its simplicity it is easily
mastered.
Originating in New York city, de-
spite its British name, it is simply a
variation of the familiar fox trot. In
fact, it is merely a combination of the
fox trot and the grapevine steps with
the addition OF five taps of the foot.
which are made to acccntuate beats of
the music. But as the grapevine steps
are a trifle intricate they are often
omitted and the London Taps" then
becomes fox trot with five taps every
time the music calls for them.
Then it will be seen that the name
of the dance is derived from the taps
in the dance steps and not from the
fact that 1t is supposed to be danced
after taps is sounded in London.
AS in all modern ballroom dances,
the first position is the familiar Wis.,
avis.
2 After walking four steps the
dancers take the grapevine position,
the man crossing his right foot in
front of his left, while the lady crosses
her left foot in front Of her right.
8 In the second step of the grape
vine, the couple has faced about, the
man bringing his left foot in front of
his right foot and the lady crossing
her right foot in front of her left.
4 On the third step. instead of max
ing another grapevine--as the cross
steps are called-the man extends his
left foot and the lady her right foot.
The movement completed. the dancers
take four walking steps in fox trot
time.
5 There are five accumulated
stationary steps or rather taps of the
feet, to the count, lone, two-one.two,
three 1t doesn't matter whether the
first tap is made with the left or the
right foot.
6 After the taps have been taken.
the walking steps are continued until
the dancers desire to repeat the grape
vine steps of the taps.

NEW YEAR BEGINS MADLy
Courthouse Starts 1917 BY
Standing on Its Head,
but With All Busy.

While new officials prepared to

THE DAILY MssouLlAN WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 1917
RANGERS TACKLE BOOKS
Many Woodsmen Arrive at
University for Short
Course in Forestry.

Decks are cleared for action at the
Montana School Of Forestry; every.
thing is ready for the start Of the
rangers course and the rangers them
selves are reporting for duty. Though
the registration for the course does not
begin until tomorrow. Dean Skeels had
last night interviewed more than 20
men from the timber as to their work
for the next three months.
Businesslike Is the forestry school
always and specially businesslike did 1t
appear yesterday afternoon with the
group Of forest rangers gathered about
the desk of the keen man who directs
the destinies of the institution, These
men are here for business very
appearance bespeaks that. They have
come straight from the forests where
they spend their days and nights in
the service Of the American govern
ment's most practical system Of con-
servation. 81.
Most of them are young-all Of them
are earnest. They know what they
want and they seek advice only as to
the best means OF getting it. There
are slight, alert, dark fellows. quick
and active, who have come to the uni
versity to add to the knowledge Of the
forest which their practical work has
given them. There are, tall. quiet,
blonde chaps, looking like the Scan
dinavian lun,bermen Of a White woods
romance. Here and there is a heavy
beard that was grown for protection
and not for ornament--its style Of
architecture discloses that fact. Some
of tho older men have brought their
families with them for the period Of
the session.
All Practical Men.
All are practical. as has been said.
and each of them talks directly to the
point. Some have had college train
ing: some have entered the forestry
service from the high school room: but
every one Of them has been in the
service long enough to acquire the
spirit OF the woods and OF the men
who labor there.
Dean Skeels spent yesterday in CON
ference with these early arrivals, talk
ing with them Of their special needs
and Of the courses that are best adapt
ed to meet these requirements. There
was no registration yesterday, it was
merely conference work. But it was
interesting to observe the manner in
which 1t was conducted. There could
have been no better indication OF the
character of the schools work.
Other states Represented.
In the list Of the men who reported
yesterday there are men from several
states besides Montana. Michigan.
Utah, Colorado and Idaho have repre-
sentatives and this is only the ad-
vance guard.
"The outlook is excellent" said Dean
Skeels yesterday afternoon. This is
only preliminary work. We are trying
to get the men comfortably located as
to living quarters and to outline their
vent any delay when the work really
begins. The course will be exception
ally strong this year and the indica =
tions are that the number and char
acter of the men will be in keeping.

from their own lips"
Rumor has been persistent that the
Sdefense will contend that the kid
naping was done by a band of men
led by a woman gang not con.
nected with the men held for the
theft Of "Ruddy." Attorney Page has
answered with smiles all questions as
to what the defense will be.
Did Piersol write the "kidnapers'
letters" which J. Holland Reet, re.
tired capitalist, received after his
baby was stolen?
Experts Testify.
That will be one of the important
questiops In the case. It will be con.
tended by the State that there can be
no question as to the handwriting;
that PIersol penned every one of the
messages received by Keet. In this
he win be supported by the testimony
OF two OF the foremost handwriting
experts IN the West, Marshall D.
Ewell, OF Chicago, and @. v. 8. Ne
chin, of st. Louis.
The first witness to be called by the
State will be J. Holland Keet, father
of the murdered baby. Reet will tell
OF going to a dance at the Country
Club with Mrs. Keet, leaving their
two babies at home with the nurses.
He will tell how they returned shortly
after midnight, and Of the discovery
that Baby Lloyd was missing from

and early morning Keet will go into
detail. He will be followed to the
stand by Mrs. Keet, who viii tell
similar story.
The -Four Letters.
This will be followed by the in
PRODUCTION OF the four eommunica-
tions received by Keet from the man
who stole his baby. The first is the
letter demanding $4,000. The second
is a threat and warning not to tell
anything more. The third Is a note
telling Keet to start at once and drive
over a certain route. This note will
be q new feature TO the case. 1t had
always been declared that Keet made
but one trip out into the night at
tempting to ransom his baby. The
testimony will show that Reet made
two trips, one Thursday night, after
the baby was kidnapped, and one on
the following night The fourth COM
munication is a postcard mailed In
Kansas City-the last word received
by the Keet family from the abduc-
tors.
stress will be laid on the message
written on the card, stating you will

pointed out that on the Tuesday upon
which the Keets were to hear again
from the llidnapsrs, that Piersol and
