London Plans
To Eliminate
Wild Dances
Instructors Declare Bolshe-
visit Ballroom Fads Are
Doomed to Die.
Especial Cable to the HeraId)

tSpccini CaDie 10 tne herhiosb
London, June 2s.-One hundred
teachers of dancing are meeting in
London to plan the deathblow for
the ballroom bolshevists.
At present the favorite dances are
the one-step, the fox-trot and the
hesitation waltz. Just what these
dances are, just how they should be
done, nobody seems to know, but
everybody cherishes theory.
Eighty per cent of the freak steps
and styles which have crept into
modern dancing Is put down to the
wartime boom, when would-be
dancing instructors. quick to seize
their opportunity of making money
while the craze was on, worked OF
their own theories on unsuspecting
pupils. A number Of these pupils
wanted a lot for their money. so
they were taught that to dip, slide,
and excel in other wild antics was
what the best people were doing"
and many of them for the first time
rejoiced in the belief that they had
ballroom feet and could do what
they liked with them.
Extravagant fancies were intro
duced and today there Is no regula-

please and beg ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
A ballroom is a dangerous place
to be.
But now one hundred dancers
with diplomas are trying to make
it fit for others besides heroes The
fox-trot is to be reformed. Degrad-
ing derelictions are to be eliminated.
Steps are to be sorted out and la
belled and thereafter. while A, b,
c. and d are sanctioned as de
rigeur" all the rest of the alphabet
will be bad FORM"
The ballroom of the future will
have no place for the athletic young
man who takes his partner for an
animated dumb-bell and swings her
round until her high-heeled slipper
find a home in someone's eye.
Many of these enthusiasts are al
ready curbing their ardor while
they keep a watchful eye on the
dancing senate.

American Legion

An American Legion camp built
on the model of the leave areas in
Europe has been established at At
lantic City under the direction of
the Atlantic City posts. 4 tent
town has been set up. 1t will be
opened the first week in July. The
tent town has been named Camp
Franklin D'Olier, in honor of the
Commander in Chief of the Legion.
The camp is at one end of the ia
nous board walk, and is only d
stones throw from the Atlantic
City Yacht Club, the scene OF the
city's most elaborate society events.
Two hundred men can live in the
camp at one time and no one will
be allowed to stay longer than two
weeks. The charge is IS for eaca
week. A canteen will be operated
in connection with the camp to sup
ply light lunch. tobacco and souve-
Mrs. II will he necessary to make
reservations in advance.
Legion activities among the Dis
trict department posts have let up
for the summer due to the fact
many members are out of town.
The executive committee will meet
at least once each month and most
month during the next three
months.
Resolutions were passed at the
last meeting of Walter Reed hos
pital post to be forwarded to the
War Risk Insurance Bureau asking
that institution to recommend be-
fore the next session of Congress
extra compensation to men disa-
bled more than 100 per cent.
Motion pictures showing impor-
tant battle activities in which A.
Z. F.. divisions took part will be
exhibited for the first time in
Washington at an entertainment TO
be given by the Rainbow Division
Veterans Association this week.
Chief Justice Walter /. Mccoy, Maj.
Gen. William NJ. Wright, and Mai
Gen. Charles T. Menaher, will
speak.
Included in the pictures is clear
scene of a fight in the air between
a German and French aviator.
The German plane was downed
when $4,000 feet in the air and the
film shows plainly the crippled air
ship spinning around like a flying
top until within several hundred
feet of the ground.
Another clear picture is that of
balloon brought down by Ger
man aviator who afterwards was
killed by American aircraft guns.
American soldiers being blown up
by shell fire during the st. Mihiel
battle are plainly discernible, as is
a scene showing doughboys throw
ing hand grenades in the Argonne.
One picture gives vivid view of
a road packed with German dead.
General Pershing is shown re-
viewing the Rainbow Division on
the Rhine in 1918.
The proposal submitted to the
South Carolina department of the
American Legion by it's executive
committee to secede from the ma
tional body was rejected last week
by practically a unanimous vote.
The breach came as a result of dis
satisfaction in some quarters over
the stand taken by the national leg
islative committee of the Legion on
the four-fold bonus proposition.
At the CONVENTION members of the
state executive committee that
called the meeting received severe
censure. 1t is claimed the major
ity of the South Carolina ex-serv-
ice men are firmly in favor OF the
committees action.

London, June 26.-Startling dis
closures of the high death rate OF
babes of unwed mothers have
shocked the house of commons into
action on recently introduced legis-
lation to protect the unfortunate
mother and her innocent child.
The bill to compel a father to pay
$1.25 to $40 a week for the mainte-
nance of his illegitimate child has
passed the second reading of the
house of commons by a vote of III
to s.
Lags Behind Dominions.
In moving the new bill, Mr.. Ne
willie Chamberlain declared it was
time for a change, as in this matter
England Jagged far behind her own
Eominions. He said:
The death rate among illegiti-
mate children is pol per 1000. as
compared with ninety per 1000
among legitimate children.
I'm other words, $500 babies die
every year who might have lived
had they been born under more for
tunate circumstances
Neglect of legislation in this
matter has been responsible for the
deaths of thousands and the perma-
nent lowering of the physical stand
ard of tens of thousands of children
who might otherwise have grown
up into vigorous and healthy citi-
Zens.
BInckmaiI Overruled-
From the outset these children
are materially handicapped, and le-
gally they may be considered out
casts.
If the mother dies the child is
left without a single legal relative
in the world.
The punishment of innocent chill
dren for the fault of their parents
is revolving to humanity, and con-
trary to the best interests of the
state"

sible blackmail was overruled.

To Stop Sex strife.
Emancipation is leading women
in Western countries and many
Eastern women toward defiant COM

The Eastern woman's mission is to
stop this sex strife and to turn the
face of the world toward harmony
between the sexes.

be in competition with man, but in
comradeship. 1t must not lead toward
defiance. but toward independence.
The woman in the East is essen

West, been moving further and

center around the mother.

Therefore as India's influence upon
