DANCING HELD
 IN HIGH HONOR BY
 ANCIENT SPARTA

The Ancient Spartans, who have al- ways been looked up to as the most perfect soldiers the world ever pro- duced, attached to the greatest i'm POrtance to dancing, giving it a fore most place in the physical training of their youth. And everyone who re- members the story of the Spartan boy who allowed the fox which he had stolen and hidden in his garment to tear his abdomen, rather than make the slightest complaint of pain, has some conception of what that training was. No time was wasted on a mere ly pleasureable art
 Dancing was considered a most irn- portant exercise for the development of the health and the limbering of the muscles. The Spartans education con- sisted of an incessant training and it is said that they danced" in advanc- ing upon the enemy.
 The fact that the SpaTtans consid- cred the dance indispensable in keep ing the body in perfect physical con- dition shows that this form of exer- else has been recognized for centuries. Just because it Is so pleasurable and beautiful people have come to over look the fact that dancing is an ex- tICL5e- Dul tAdL IL IS an SAeI SlSe tO- day, just as 1t was in the time of the Spartans cannot be overlooked.
 Prof. Daniel c. Guilty has so devel- oped his teaching of the dance thac the most healthful results as well as the greatest pleasure are obtained from this art.
 Prof. Quilty's classes for Children, Hifh School students and adults will open next week at Colonial Ball. raour on Fair6aId avenue

CLASSES ARE ORGANIZED AT
 DAY NURSERY
Catholic Charitable Bureau i nCharge of Reconstruc-
 tion Work.

St. NinCenJ's Day Nursery, corner Baruum avenue and Pembroke street, is being used as the first center of ac- tivities in thcr reconstruction work opened up in Bridgeport by the Ma tfouaI Catholic War Council under the auspices of the Catholic Charit- able Bureau. Rev. Matthew !. Judge, director of the bureau, is chairman and treasurer of the local council governing the work of the National Catholic War COunCl.
 The survey of the work was thor oughly made by Miss Charlotte Ring of St. Louis, Mo-, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Daley of Boston, Mass. Miss Ring is an experienced social service worker and had an important part in making community plans in East St. Louis, which is regarded as perhaps the finest example of com unity organization in the country. She served as secretary for the Ma tiOnal Catholic War Council, and also for the general war civics committee while in St. Louis. Her experience there were valuable background for making the Bridgeport survey. Since Miss Ring has recently been called back to St Louis, her plans will be carried out by Miss Daley.
 The nursery is ideally located in the factory district on the trolley line, near the heart of both the ItaI- ian and Slovak districts, for the work on hand. Although the work will be confined to this center in the begin ming, it is hoped that later the work will be extended to other parts of the city
 The present program as planned is as follows: Mothers classes in home making. English Citizenship. etc. from z:3O to o'clock every day. For the benefit of mothers who have to bring small children with them a pre-kinderEarten class is conducted at the same time At 4 o'clock, classes for children will be concuct- ed when sewing and knitting already organized and other studies will oc- cupy the time.

Household Hints

Many housewives dislike cooking fish because of the unpleasant odors that usually cling to the pan which has been used. Soda and water is of- ten used but if the frying pan is secured out with salt and hot water, the fshy smell is quickly dispeued. Stains caused by heated dishes on polished tables can be removed by the | application of thin paste made Of salad oil and salt; spread it on tho
 marked place and leave for an hour
 or more. Then rub off with soft cloth.
 To prevent colored material from
 fading or the color running before
 washing the first time, soak for at ! least two hours in Q strong salt and
 water solution, to which has been add
 ed about a teacupfuI of vinegar. | To prolong the life of a broom it
 should be put in boiling water once a
 week and then plunged into cold wa ter. This will make the ibrlstles clea n and tough and render the broom much
 more durable.
 Save some of the syrup when you | have timed fruit. Add it to fresh
 fruit that is being stewed and hardly |, any sugar is needed. Put a pinch of
 salt into everything in which sugar is used. It is a fact that if salt is added | less sugar is required.
 To remove white spots from furni- ture, hold a hot flatiron over them, being careful it does not touch the | wood, and the spots will soon disap- pear.
 Save the envelops which have trans- parent name spaces and use for diff ferent kinds of buttons, etc, about the sewing room. It is a great time saver to be able to see at a glance
 what each envelope contains.
