The Street Dance Saturday
Night

The street dance given on
Saturday night in celebration
of the completion of the recon
struction Of the Greenville-
Hendersonville Highway was a
decided success as have been
the two preceding ones. There
were not as many dancers on
the street as there were at the
memorable Shriners ball but
the crowd of spectators was
larger.
Great crowds from Green
vile, Anderson, Spartanburg,
Gaffney, Union and other
South Carolina towns arrived
in cars all during the day Sat
urday and when the many units
assembled at the dance Satur-
day night the street looked as
if all South Carolina had come
to Hendersonville. A great
many were over from Ashe-
vile also, and many other
towns and cities sent represen-
tatives who came specially for
the big celebration, besides the
large number Of tourists and
town people who always turn
out for such occasions. In fact
the walks in the street roped
off for the dance were jammed
to discomfort, and cars were
parked closely for many blocks
near the Kentucky Home of
which the dance was held.
The Hendersonville band
furnished the music and dane
ing continued until a late hour.

AND POLAND RESTORED
Net Believed Any Positive Action be
Taken But General Peace Discus

Reached United States Yet.

l. Washington, Aug. 14.-AIl partici-
pants in the European war, including
lifted States, are to be placed on
record on a proposal for peace by
Pope Benedict, who addressed ident1-
cal proposals to all belligerents of
such nature as to require an ansker.
The proposal has not reached the
United States as yet. Secretary Lam
sing today stated that he knows of the
contents of the letter informally but
cannot discuss what action will be
taken on the proposals of the Pope.
That will be decided when the Score
tary and President Wilson receives the
suggestions.
An informal exchange of views will
be likely before final action will be
decided on by the United States and
the Eentente powers.
Briefly it is indicated that the sug-
gestions provide the restoration and
independence of Belgium and Sebia
and 6le independence of Poland.
The big question affecting France
and the restoration of Alsace-Lorain
and Italy's claim for territory acquisi-
ton is held open.
Diplomats and officials whe would
discuss the matter are of the opinion
the Pope's proposals will not
bring about any positive action but a
general discussion of peace might fol-

Bathtubs and Bathing.

In many European countries "the
best people'-if you know what that
means-never battle in water.
Spanish matrons have expressed
much surprise at my complaints about
the absence of bathing facilities in the
Madrid hotels. One lady, wife Of dis
tinguished member of the cortes, told
me she chad herself rubbed down in oil
once a week, but never had got into a
tub of water and never would!'
My memory of London hotels goes
back to 1875, when there was not a
single bathtub in any hotel in that city.
A tin pan and bucket of warm water
was the only tub" and you were
lucky to get that.
And in that same period in New York
city the Metropolitan and st. Nicholas
hotels, supposed to be models Of excel
lence, were totally wanting in bath
rooms.
Admittedly, it is as difficult to imag-
inc life without motorcars as without
bathtubs, but the former are less than
a twenty-year-old necessity, while the
bath was an institution long before the
times of the Roman emperors.-Julius
Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle
