It's brand new. Yes, indeed, only
some 400 years old. Yep, back in
the enlightened sixteenth century
they were doing this modern dance
and no doubt there was more reform
ing even.
Professor Louis Kretlow, who has
taught dancing for 60 years, mostly
in evening clothes, rubber collar,
wooden socks and a constantly in
creasing beard-gave hint of the
shimmy's age the other afternoon on
reading the latest news from Lon
don.
This was an article concerning
"The Rockers" which gives the lady
and the gent an opportunity to show
their friendship. And the lady may
also show a spicy bit of chiffon.

changed" Professor Kretlow said.

wrote a book about them in 1888.
The dances were the same and the
positions identical with those of the

fort. He also seeks to share in the
various phases and responsibilities
of TIE government of which he is a
part.
How far are most people civilized?
Living for the day only and refusing
to look into the future for which
there is no preparation, do not lead
toward the enjoyment of the highest
attributes of democracy-the high
est form of civilization-life, iber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness.
Looking forward, the civilized man
is daily preparing for the future. If
he is wise, as we'll, he is following
the suggestions of the government
as to the mode of preparation, since
the policy that is most advantageous
to the individual is the one that
benefits the nation.
Liberty and happiness belong to
the normal man, but how many men
are really free? Free from unmet
obligations, free from the worry Of
coming old age, free to travel, to
change positions. to own a home?
Every one who has an earning ca

Sir.-The time will soon arrive
for the committee having the matter
in charge to decide upon some fitting
memorial to our soldiers and sail
ors. Feeling quite sure that it is
the desire of those comprising the
committee to pay the greatest trib-
ute possible to these young men, it
seems to me that it could be done in
no more appropriate and lasting way
than by adopting the plan of like
committee in Howard county, and
recommend the erection of a hand
some High School Building, with
Memorial Hall, and dedicate the
building to the memory of our boys.
Such building would not only have
much historic and sentimental value,
but. from a practical standpoint,
would fill a long felt want in this
community, for surely all thought
full, observing persons must recog-
nize the imperative need for a mod
lern high school building in Cam
bridge. Interest in the building
could be easily made countrywide in
the fitting up of the Memorial Hall,
at a cost to be determined by the
committee, and this money, prob
ably $4,000 or $4,000, could no
doubt be raised by popular subscrip-
tion, without much effort. In the
Memorial Hall there could be placed
battle flags, pictures, war records,
and other relics, and tablets, COM
memorative of the participation of
our boys in the great world war. 1t
is fair to assume that the County
Commissioners and the Board OF
Education would gladly cooperate

WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
FIippancy of Modern Young Men
Rather Upsets Their Staid and
Dignified Elders.

London.-What has happened to our
conversational manners? The war has
altered them, but while some people
consider that it has improved them
others think it has sent them to the
dogs. The only point of agreement is
that they are different from what they
used to be.
For instance, the elderly managing
director of a Sedate city company was
a little surprised the other day when
Major Crasher, the stoclbroiler, lately
demobilized from the r. A. F., ended
a business talk over the telephone
with the phrase: "Righto, my dear
old bean!"
Was that familiar style of address
to be considered quite all right" and,
in fact, rather agreeable, or something
the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
to be in the war Office rings her mother
up from the city and eXclaims: Hello,
old thing l shall be going to the the
alter tonight, so don't wait up. Ta-ta,
old creature !"
The young man who was in the o.

FIND CREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Was Turned Over
to Mexican Government for
Identification.

Mexico City.-When representatives
of the famous Creel family of Chi
huahua recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
for information regarding the where
abOuts of mining, railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to q
100000 pesos, they were astonished to
learn that the stock, as well as about
100000 pesos in paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden-
LITIGATION of ownership and that it only
had been discovered few months ago.
According to published accounts,
wOrkmeD, while cleaning out a spare
room in the building used by the fed
eral district government, found score
of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither the
governor of the federal district, Gen.
Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court,
after guarded investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, so
it was turned over in trust to the
national treasury.
Inc tneOfy is IndI during the HlSl
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall of Porfrio Diaz the
boxes were sent from chihuahua to a
! private residence of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en-
tered Mexico City they were placed in
charge of the federal district govern
ment.
The Creel representative stated that
a large sum of metallic currency and
a valuable collection of jewels also
were being sought, but of these easily
realizable riches no trace has been dis
! covered.
