DANCING SAVES LONDON
GIRLS FROM FLAT FEET

LONDON, Oct. 15.--London girls are
graceful. and generally walk better
than their brothers because they are
fond of dancing, according to the med
ical officer of the London county coun-
Gil.
Teaching of dancing in the public
schools has no doubt greatly helped, II
it has not saved the situation in regard
to the physical development of London
girls" said the medical officer. Par
ticularly noticeable is the much better
arched instep of the girls in comparison
with their own brothers, and with coun-
try children generally.
''The relative absence of flat foot,
thus brought about, is the foundation
of that grace Ct carriage which the typt-
cal London girl Of the elementary
schools exhibits. In the country schools
no dancing is taught, nor do the chill
dren there enjoy those outside stimuli
to an interest in dancing which are
Characteristic Of London life"

Indians Talk TO
Strangers By Signs
And Other Gestures

Most Of us visiting a foreign land find
1t difficult, and sometimes impossible, to
make our ordinary wants known, says
the New York Herald, The ted Indian
has no such difficulty. The problem OF
a universal language was solved centu-
ries ago by the savage inhabitants OF
his Western world.
Should an Indian from northern Alas
ka go to Patagonia he could by means
OF this universal language converse with
his southern brothers almost as easily
as he could with his neighbors at home.
That would also be the case II he Wis
tied Central America or met the tribes
men Of our own Western pralries and
mountains.
When this language was invented no
one, knows, but every Indian learns It
In addition to his own. once two chiefs
of different tribes met In the city OF
Washington and held a conversation
that lasted nearly three hours. yet
neither one knew a word Of the others
language,
This universal language Is, Of course,
made up Of signs, For example, II an
| Indian is passing through a strange
| country and sees other Indians at q
distance, he makes the peace sign
that is he holds up his blanket by two
corners 80 that it covers his Whole fig,
ure. The same thought Is expressed

1 thoughts with regard to the Grea'
Spirit, heaven, good, evil, life and death
sickness, health. riches and poverty
Life is expressed by drawing an mag
mary thread from the mouth, and dealt
by chopping the head off; Another sigl
for death is to hold the tips Of the fin
gers of one hand against the palm o
the other, and let them gradually sill
downward, and at last drop beneath tn,
palm. .
