However. nature is looking up
to quote Whistler-among English
fappers and their older sisters. The
explanation? Here is one: Constant
contemplation OF the most beautiful
types OF womanhood on the films"
The propounders OF this ingenious
theory go on TO explain that the semi
darkness OF the theatre, the music,
the upward gaze "all are conditions
, favorable TO such psychic influence,
and the mental Impressions received
by young persons when gazing on Sc
lected types OF lovely face and fern
must result in the general beautiica-
tion Of the race"
Although the Greeks knew nothing
about the cinematograph, they evil
IDENTIFY took stock in the above theory
with the emphasis on '1ovely form"
Their well-formed youths appeared
without even running trunks in the
olymplan games, and the people be-
lleved that women contemplating
constantly the lines OF the beautiful
human body would themselves give
birth 20 even more beautiful children.
II is conceded that the Greeks as
race attained a higher standard Of
physical loveliness than any other
nation before or since.

OF course all this is true in some

Government controls the mails,

too. Make II a complete Job.
II the Government speeds up
dancing the way 1t did the rail-
roads, II looks like a'big season
for waltzing. Won't have a
Director General of Dancing,
though. He'll be a floor direc-
tor. Every dance will be licensed
by the Government. Before you
go on the floor you'll have to
buy a 1-cent stamp. Salome
dancers will get strip tickets.
Revenue collectors will break
up house parties and pinch 'em
for ducking the dance tax. No
moonshine waltzes allowed.
either. Guys that sit out dances
with peaches will be jugged for
boarding. Government control
looks like a good plan.
Also oughta have an Inter-
state Dancing Commission to
help free trade. When they dig
up a new dance on the Barbary
Coast, commission will see that
it's introduced in New York.
Interstate Commission will also
control jazz music. Can see that
songs about Tennessee and Ala
bam' get an even break in the
cabaret market
Chorus girl shows will be
staged under Government super
vision. Another good thing.
Government will apply its cold
storage laws, and no chicken

get into the front row. United

Government will ALSO issue
timetables for dances. Fox trot
In rs time and time for shlmmy-
ing will be Is minutes, with no
stops. All dancers will shake
on the platform at their own
risk. "
One steps will be 3 cents a mile
the usual rates. Can't reckon
shimmying by dlstance-Gov-
ernment will have to get longi-
tude tables to figure the tariff.
Anyway. shimmy dancers will
shoulder the cost. Stays will
pay a luxury tax and wall fow-
ers will go deadhead.
Shimmy looks like the big
problem Of Government control
Hard work TO control the SHIN
my, Government or no Govern
ment United States has been
suspicious of the shin move
ment for some time. Govern

SHIN dancers and locked 'em
up. No use, though-shimmers
cut loose with their shoulder

get rid of the SHIN, but nothing
doing-it can't shake the SHIN

to cure it. Don't know what the
cure is, but know the shimmiers

can't move-as a rule. Will ad.
NIT we have seen shimmy
dancers move their feet a couple
OF times, though. Cops raided
the place on both occasions.
Their knees didn't stop shaking
even then.
Government will also regulate
distance between partners.
Figures distance should be 2.75
per cent OF the dancers height
This'll eliminate hugging, but
Government claims 2.75 arrange
ment is a near bear hug. Also
claims that's near enough.
When a guy steps on a peach
erino's toes, Government won't
have to regulate the distance
between 'em. Peacherino will
attend to that at the end OF the
dance. Or sooner.
United States will also bring
rules Of international warfare
into play. Strangle hold and
Cleopatra clutch are barred.
Dumdum jazz music is out
and when a couple OF stags
are caught by camounaged wall
flowers. exchange OF prisoners
will be permitted. Last pro-

dropped on innocent high step

patrol the cabaret zone in fast
