TACoMA'S DANCE RULE.
Promulgated by City Council to Pre-
vent Too Much Embracing.

The lady, in dancing shall place her
left hand on her partners arm and not
on his shoulder or back, and the man
shall encirele the lady with one arm
only
This is the wisdom of the City Coun-
Gil of Tacoma, which felt called upon
to rule in restraint of the embrace
that was vogue among the youth of
the town when they took to the dance
floor. If the church and state had
failed in their efforts of restraint, the
Tacoma council would not Affairs had
come to pretty pass, and it was time
to act. The council members saw their
duty and they did it. And they are
going to see that the letter of the rule
lis observed.
The directions for the maid are per-
haps well enough-her left hand on
her partner S arm and not on his shout
der or hack. But how about the man
1t is one thing to rule that he shall
encircle-eompletely surround, as it
| were-the lady with one arm only. This
| IS no easy matter. For there are maids
and maids. And some arc buxom.
Some of this class do not lend them
selves to the compass of an arm. 1t
| would seem no more than just for the
Tacoma council to make its rule suffi-
GENTLY elastic to meet the require
ments of a buxom lady and a short.
armed man. Every fellow feels him.
self potential dance floor hero, but
few would resort to heroies in the
dance.
The unhappy part of the situation is
that the dance has fallen from the high
estate of the days of the polka and the
schottische. As Luke McLuke once OBJ
served, those were the days when the
dance was matter of steps; now it is
a matter of holds.-Buffalo News.

of the two ideas and number of Addl-
son county men have appeared before
the committee.
Probably there are more muskrats IN
Addison than in any other county in
the state. The low land of the Otter
creek valley is natural habitat for
the little animals and they thrive there
as in other marsh sections of the eoun-
try The increased use of furs of all
kinds has brought the muskrat into
prominence and the prices for the pelts
are now the highest known. As result
the Addison county hunters and trap
pers are beginning to give the aquatic
rodents more serious consideration.
There is one argument in favor of
the short open season in the spring as
| now prevails in Addison county. Musk
| rat fur is at its best in March and
April which is not the case with many
other furs 1t was because of this fact
| probably, that the short season law was
enacted. It's friends argue that pelt
that is worth only thirty or fifty cents
in October and from dollar and fifty
| cents to two dollars in March should
not be taken in the early fall and win
| ter. There are those who believe that
the open season for muskrat should be
shortened for the entire state. Even
tually the open season for the taking
of all kinds of fur will be shortened or

THE LANDSCAPE OF LIFE.
Our First Impressions of Place are
Never Forgotten.

The first appearance of a place Is never
overcome When we see grounds, large
or small, that are well laid out and kept
in neat order, the favorable impression on
one who sees them is never quite for
gotten The opposite is also true. A
shiftless, tumbledown place leaves scar
on the memory that is not easily etfaced.
The picture is still vivid of that old
home in western New York where the
youth of the writer was so pleasantly
spent. Men and women in various parts
Of the country say to me: How well
remember the good times we had as chill
dren at your home" or Il win never for

we used to bring in from the fields and

and remind me that our home was al
most their home
The future outlook, the future life, OF
what may be called the landscape of the
lives of children, that is the formation
of character, is dependent on their early
childhood
The home surroundings, whether {
small yard or large estate. should bt
well planned, well planted and well caree
for.
In making plans consider the appearance,
in winter as well as in summer. Ever
green's, both coniferous and broad leaveC
kinds, should be utilized, as well as suit
able trees for summer shade.
Provide a comfortable place where TIN
children can have free range in thei
play. winter and summer.
Adults are really not worthy of yer,
much considerations; their character ha
been formed and they are what they are
They can only help themselves by tryIni
to help others.
We of today are dependent on the chi
dren; their future and ours, here on earth
rests with them Let us make their live
cheerful and happy, for their sake an
our own.
1t is not in the school, but in the HON

Any Name viii Do for Them:

A good many amateur etynologists
must have been worried over the now
much used word .'Spartaeides,' - as the
name of the German emnlators OF the
Russian Bolshevists. Pronounced as
almost everybody does. in three syl-
tables, the word would ft only men who
had killed Spartacus. If used in the
sense obviously intended, one must say
"Spar -cides," with the accent on
the second syllable.
Then it would be fairly ofthadox.
though why anyone should think il a
good name for a party 1t is hard 10
see, as the rebellion of Spartacus was,
as il deserved to be, an utter failure.
His break for liberty soon degenerated
into mere brigandage and was hopeless
from the beginning so by the
character of himself and his followers
The term used by the Berlin papers Is
tSpartacus- Leuten = Spartacus folk
Spartacides seems TO have been an
unhappy invention of the British and
American correspondents unhappy,
that is, unless they expected lis to see
four syllables in it.-New York Times.

and important thing in life. 1t is fine
to have such hopes for the future, but
in looking so far ahead they must not

could be doing. Never mind If they
are not quite so interesting as brave
