ON WITH THE DANCE.

The dancing masters of the United States have been saying some things of pith and worth during the conven- tion of the National Associa tion s of Masters of Dancing held at New York. It has long seemed to many knowing somewhat of dancing. it's social and aesthetic values. as we'll as it's pleas ures, that if those recognized as pre- ceptors and exemplars would raise their voices and set their faces against the progressive degradation of dancing in this country, progressive degradations would cease. and the dance could be restored to it's old es- tate
 The dancing masters must be charged with a large degree of the responsibility for the conditions which they now deplore- They have yielded overmuch to the importunities of young people unwilling to take even the small pains of acquiring those graceful steps and motions which are a part of every dance worthy of the name and wanting to plunge into dancing orgies in which all pretense of grace as well as prepriety is aban- doned. and in which the awkward can get bv with as much of distinction as the most graceful dancers.
 The president of the Dancing Mas ters National Association says that the old waltz is coming back There will he no new dances: only a few notifications" Tn truth 1t is not easy to agine how new dances could be made without including many Of the motions to be seen in the manifold waltz movements of a somewhat ear Her day. few even of these waltz forms lent themselves too much to suggestiveness. and. like all such dances. they were the easiest to be learned. The professors may meet with opposition in the effort to teach the lesson that grace and beauty in the dance. like all other good things, cannot he had without work, but if they persist they can hardly fail to win. should they fail. dancing masters will ere long find their occupation gone in d generation which will not think beauty and grace to be indispc>>able requisites to dancing

suaLEsoN AND CIVIL SERVICE.

Whether or not recommendations of the civil service commission have been fiouted by Postmaster General Burleson is to be determined by an investigation which has just been or dered by a vote of the house of rep resentatives. The vote was PAT to 22 to- proceed with the investigation of the political" activities of the post master general as an appointing power.
 The author of the resolution says that the committee on reform of the civil service has been informed of 20e cases in point charges that temper ary employees have been kept on the payroll long after the receipt of rec concentrations for permanent appoint ments and that it has been the prac- tice of the postmaster general Ito re- tain employees when the recornfnen- datfons made have not suited him po- 1itically.
 No matter what his shortcomings as the head of 8 department are or may have been, MT. Burleson is. of course. entitled to suspension Of judgment pending the investigation. There is. however. no impropriety in saying that the allegations he will be called upon to meet are neither vague nor surprising They are specific and all the more serious because should they be substantiated impeachment pro- ceedings are likely 10 De among the consequences. The vote by which the resolution was adopted makes it clear enough that there will be no demo- cratic disposition to hold in reserve the whitewash brush. Because of sins of omission and of commission. too many to be inventoried. Mir Burleson has himself to thank for the almost universal conviction that his retire. mert into private life will be belated, no matter how soon his services are with.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The "big boss of the Fifth avenue buses in New York has come out with a statement that does the heart good, a statement in answer to one of these sour, self -incrusted individuals that are always trying to take the joy out of life" His answer to this person is in effect: Let em spoon on top of my buses all they want. Let them enjoy it. You did, or you would ii you had chance, so have a heart.
 Spoken like a man and regular man at that. By all means let them spoon on top of the Fifth avenue buses, pro- vidinS they do it in nice. quiet and unobtrusive manner. Young fellows and young girls in New York have few enough places in which to spoon with out taking this last remaining strong hold away from them. The police chase them or arrest them in the parks, the stairways of the apartment and tene- ment houses are too full of traffic. troll ley cars are too light, and very few of these city youngsters can afford their private limousines.

Prrsid ent Wilson and Secretarr [

President Wilson and Secretary Lsns- ing cannot be insensible of the inn rc-tsnce of Mir Bullitt's testimony 1sfcre the senate committee Mir. Bull lit was g former attache of the American peace commission and it's ce1ndznte- who was one of those to resign when he found the course of events was proceeding in a way he c5uf6 not sanction To have him make the revelations he has. in view of his opportunity to know just what WYE going on in the inmost circles projects q significant element into the situation that cannot be disregard rded ey the president if he is to accom- plfsh his purpose of securing ratihca- sfcr for the league.
 Such an exposure of the conditions srrro % ding the formation Of the t-szty may well serve as a death blow -p the presidents hopes and manifest ,r puts him on the defensive before tHe American people.
 n Is distinctly disqufeting to find t-zt Mr. BuI1Itt represents Secretary LarErg as saying T believe that if tAe senate could only understand what this treaty means. and if the American people could really under stand, it would unquestionably be de feared- but I wonder if they ever will understand what it lets them in for TG add that the conference was a long succession Of cynical bargains. in which the president gave away every rstng in order that he might get his league is staggering realization.

Our one poisonous snake is just now much in evidence.
 Fortunately it is easily recognized the black markings along it's bak, the dirty white beneath them and the V for viper-at the base of it's head quickly revealing it's identity.
 Country folk still believe that while it carries poison in it's tooth. it carries the antidote in it's fat. When bitten catch and kill the adder. melt it's fat and apply it to the Wound-and in little while all will be we'll That, at least, is the rustic theory.

what is your favorite crime, anyway ? She didn't get off that time and all the other women were glad because when she had been excused from the other two dreadful cases she had pestered the life out of them after they got home at night, calling them up on the phone to get all the details. Yes, and Martha learned q lot of things about cooking and plain and fancy sewing and how TO TX bouquets when she was in court. The women on the jury exchange recipes and household experiences with mutual profit. One woman had a cake recipe that was a humdinger, I'll say. Mar tha made one like 1t right away.

 That's what Martha thought at first" replied Uncle Dick But she found it mistaken idea. The jury doesn't decide whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty. Martha found to her surprise that a man might be guilty of stealing an automobile and go scot. free. but if he was guilty of not having enough witnesses there to prove he didn't steal it he would surely be sent up.

 Your note about Eppins being an hospitable place in the time of Noah (says a correspondent) is not so inn probable as might seem.
 It fell to my lot some years ago to look into the history of Colchester. Not only did that dear old gentleman n King Cole live there. but Noah him self is stated on we'll founded tra- dition to have cruised over Colchester, being especially attracted by the quality of oysters he dredged there. ntity

 But happily for posterity: there are no hard facts hard enough to erase from English history the story of that bobbing kettle lid.
