DANCING AND
PERSONALITY

If you want to critise set of peo-
pie, critise their mode of dancing. If
you are keen, it sure way of get
ting at their fundamentals, as a set
Of people.
Dancing is gesture, conventional
lied and carried to a degree of ex-
preston, not of what one thinks, but
Of what one feels. We call that side
of one his personality.
Your staggering bravado has his
way of dancing; the timid girl has
hers; the conceited person uncon-
ciosly gives himself away by his
dancing. One who feels the beauty
of rythm and sees the beauty of
form has way of dancing his or her
attitude into expression. A jealous
one may be picked out of the multi
tude of dancers. So can the evil
minded.
And SO, is it very hard to see why
young folks insist on dancing as
more than half their entire social
means of acquaintanceship? 1t is
not hard. BY dancing they learn
each others innermost charcteris-
tics; such as are not expressed any
other way, such as are hidden behind
walls of diffidence or discrimination.
If his emotions are true, it follows
that the whole man will not be
false.-F. c. X.

REpATRlATE 100000
RUSSIAN PRISONERS
D. S. Medical Officers Supervise
Work Of Sending Men Home
From German Camps.

The task of repatriating approx
mately 100000 Russian prisoners in
the twenty camps in Germany which
have been under the supervision OF
American sarmy medical officers began
a few days ago, according to word
received by the branch of the Ameri.
can Red Cross at Coblenz. The work
of sending these prisoners of war
back to Russia began in accordance
with the decision Of the allied armi-
stice commission at Spa, and advices
received at Coblenz indicate the I'M
dertaking will soon be completed.
The Americans connected with re-
lief work among Russian prisoners
number more than 1000. The princi-
nal duties of the Americans are to
see that the Russians are properly
fed and to supervise camp sanitation.
Food shipments, handled by the Amer
lean Red Cross, have been passing
through Coblenz for several weeks,
hut these will cease soon and 1t Is
expected that within two mouths all
American missions and soldiers in
Germany who have been connected
with relief work among Russian pris-
oners will be out of enemy territory.
Allied relief work at the various
Russian camps was decided upon sew
eral months ago by the allies as a
precaution against half million Rus
SLAMS returning to the native land and
Joining the bolsheviki. Under the
plan that is being followed, the Rus
sans are being released in small
groups and sent to various parts OF
the country and transported to their
homes. In this way there is no dan
ger of their Joining the bolsheviki In
large bodies, 1t is believed by officers.
The difficulty attendant on shipping
food across Germany also was one OF
the reasons for the decision to re-
patriate the Russians as soon as pos
sible,

Some folks laugh about the presi-

Adoo lowered himself and cooked his

PROPER MER-
CHANTS

A merchant is person who has
articles for sale. If he sells them
he buys some more and always has
new goods to offer. If he fails to
sell them they get old and decline to
worthlessness on his hands.
|, And so there are two kinds of mer-
chants and two kinds of stores.
Even tho a merchant may have
articles that everybody wants it is
altogether possible for the public to
forget him. His stock goes to seed
and dust gathers on his. shelves.
Needing no new goods to replenish
his undimihished stock he fails to
find out about newer articles, loses
touch with big dealers and spiders
spin their webs on his walls.
1t is impossible to think of such
a merchant being big advertiser.
Consider if the stores you patron
ize most often are not most often on
record in advertising columns some
where. Each advertisement is a
promise. No business man who sue
ceeds will advertise something for
sale which he has not on hand, and
in sufficient quantity.
The advertiser is not only the
man who gets most of your money
but the man who gives you the most
satisfactory deal. He sells to more
people, his goods are the newest,
and most important of all, you have
him on public record-he's out in
the open. The public has the come
back on an advertising merchant,
and he has to put out goods that
satisfy, or quit advertising and
decay.
Advertising keeps a merchant
straight. He publishes facts about
his goods that interest customers and
then he has to live up to his asser-
tions. .-1...
You wouldn't vote for q candidate
who gave no public statements of his
position on governmental issues.
Trust that merchant farthest who
comes out and states his policies and
puts on record the quality of his
wares.

Sixty-Fifth Congress
Opens Special Session

Some Of the weightiest questions
Of modern times regarding the polio
les of the United States will come up
for decision before the sixty-fifth
congress now in session at Washing
ton.
Freeing industry, transportation
and trade from burdens imposed
upon them because of the war is
perhaps their chief and first duty.
America has a chance to continue
on into a large place in world ship
ping and trade. 1t is up to congress
to formulate policies with regard to
the merchant marine and export and
import facilities.
A knotty question is that of trans
portation. 1t rests Ikea hot potato
in governmental control. The rail-
roads have run $400,000,000 be-
hind the return guaranteed by the
government. Stock markets are on
edge, and speculation is the order of
the day. -

of their shrill treble, but they did,
alomst mirachlously, rid themselves

publican, which reaches her in Cali
fornia, even tho she has been away

.S24O RAISE TO Be
LAW THIS SESSION

The $40 increase in pay for Gov
eminent employees for the fiscal year
beginning July ] will be law before
the end OF this session of Congress.
All doubt on this question has been
removed by the fact that both houses
have agreed to the conference report
on the Legislative bill. which provides
for the increase. The bill has gone
to the President for his signature and
ii is expected he will sign it shortly.
Not less important than the S240
increase, and in some respects more
important, Is the provision in the bill
for joint commission to investigate
salaries and report a plan for classify
ing and standardizing them. This is
expected 10 result in legislation in the
rev Congress which will put Govern
ment salaries on a much better basis
At the same time the investigation of
postal service salaries by a commission
provided for in the postoffice BILL is
expected TO eventually improve condi-
tons in the postal service.
