 Some of the rules and regulations which all are urged 10 obey follow:
 Dance music should be bright and cheerful, properly accented and the phrases well divided. Cheap, vulgar music of the extreme Jazz type invites cheap, vulgar meaningless dancing. It is use less to expect refined dancing when the music lacks all refinement, for after all, what is dancing but an interpretation or music?

PEARY

Joined the innumerable throng."
His name was known to the entire
civilized world because of but one
thing-he had a wonderfully elastic
will. He stretched it thru the direst
experiences until he had achieved
what he set out to gain-the North
Pole.
Decades passed and nearly a thous-

and snow>before Robert E. Peary won.
For more than thirty years he kept
at the job. Seven times he made at
tempts. Each time he went further
than before and learned new things,
but each time he had to return-de.

wrote in his diary that he was utterly
discouraged.
But no such man is really ever ut.

So Peary made his eighth attempt
This time he was past fifty years OF
age. They set out in a small ship

himself told them boodby at the pier

answered back that 1t was to be THE
POLE this time.
And SO it wast
On April 6. 1909, the Star and Stripes
were uplif..l at the North Pole.

was not Peary's way. He died poor

that he had.

OF saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England
scientists for long time past have
recognized that catarrh is a constitu

constitutional treatment.
Sprays. inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is consti-

often bring quick relief from distress

should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflamma-
ton in the eustachian tubes is reduc-
ed. Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous

action that helps to obtain the desired
results. The preparation Is easy to
make, costs little and is pleasant TO
take. Every person who has catarrh

should give this treatment a trial.

political economy and sociology it stands in line
for free soup. y
These are not war conditions. Russia is un-
ravaged. Bolshevism has had everything to work
with that an empire so vast could supply. 1t dl-
vided the land according to its own doctrine, and
the land is as productive as ever it was. Crops
will grow when planted It turned the industries
over to soviet rule, and the same workmen are
engaged in them as before. Capitalism took
nothing with it when it was misunderstanding
tangible. Yet Russia today is vast poorhouse.
It's land does not produce, its railroads do not
transport, its factories are closed and bankrupt,
it's population loafs.
Louis Narquet, French writer, has given
some figures on neutrality-suspicious. in a recent
article in the Revue Bleue. The Poutiloff factory
turned out five locomotives in five months as
against thirty eight under the pre-bolshevist re-
gime. Twenty men used to make a locomotive.
It now takes 158. The cost used to be $4,000
rubles, it is now 100000. Other industries tell
the same story. Bolshevism doesn't work, and
contrary to some fond expectations bolshevism
hasn't found any way of living without working.
Bolshevism, whose political eloquence was all
conquering while capitalisms stock of groceries
held out, has not since been able to talk hunger
out of the Russian head.
Bolshevism is well aware of this failure. 1t
has armies, but without an industrial organiza-
ton behind them they cannot make campaign.
Aggression has been abandoned for this reason,
and its only hope is peace, and with that attained
it's enemies will have to feed it. It wants to re-
sumo trade with capitalism, that is with England
and America, so it can import at a high price the
things Russia is capable of producing at home at
a lower price. That is bolshevism on its econ
omic side-a complete failure, recognized fail

What's in a Name
CECILY
(Copyright)

Cecily. though used Interchangeable
with Cecilia, is an Independent name
with an interesting history. She
comes, of course, from the great Gaze
Gillian gems which, curiously enough,
was named for a slow-worm. a reptile
supposed to be blind. Gaia Caecilia Is
said to have been the real name of the
model Roman matron, patroness or
all other matrons, whose tomb is fam
Gus throughout Italy.
Another famous Caecilia was the
Christian martyr whose body was dis
inferred In perfect state after 200
years and enshrined in a church. 1t
Is she who is the patron saint Of sac
red music. In her honor Philip l of
France and William of England each
named daughter Cecile. The Eng
lish Cecile straightway became Cicely,
and became enormously popular about
the time of the Reformatio 1t was
Cicely Neville, called the Rose OF
Raby, afterward the Duchess Of York,
who gave the name greatest vogue in
England, where she was known as
Proud Cts. Her grandchild. the Prin-
cess Cicely Plantagenet was nun.
After the. Reforma ton, strangely
.nough, Cicely became generic term
or milkmaids and sank into oblivion.
When it was revived it came forth
as Cecilia and was straightway con-
tracted to Cecily and Cecil.

noting sorrow. yet, if it is worn by

Where Bolshevism Broke Down

Says the Kansas City Star: Bolshevism for
the moment at least, seems politically established
in Russia, but industrially and economically it
has not made the slightest progress and is as far
today from being a going concern as it was in
the beginning. 1t is a structure without foun-
dation.
Bolshevism's failure in this respect is the
more pronounced because Russia offered the fair
est field for its experiment that could have been
devised. 1t contains within its own borders
everything state needs to be self sustaining,
and is dependent upon the outside world for
nothing. If bolshevism a sound doctrine
Russia ought to be the most prosperous country
in the world. 1t has every form of natural wealth
that America enjoys and an even greater domain.
But what is its condition? Its cities are starving
Its industry is paralyzed. 1t is franticaly trying
to make peace with the world so it can import
necessities in which it's own soil abounds. The
granary of Europe, it has no bread to eat. With
an inexhaustible timber supply it has no railroad
ties. Rich in iron mines it has no material to
make locomotives with, no shops to build them
in, no skilled labor. Setting up to teach the world
