 One machine was opened recently and found to contain 70 pounds of pennies. or close to 12,000 of them. The Treasury is thinking of asking owners of these machines to practise opening them every few months, at least. and release some of the spare coppers.

Dancing Masters Evolve
New 'Shimmyless' Dance;
Call Il the wesleyan"

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Members
OF the American National Associa-
tior- OF Dancing Masters went into
a trance or something at their con-
vention here. and emerged with a
dance which they are confident will
shake the jazz and shimmy dances
into the discard and be the big
dancing hit OF the winter.
They have named the new crea-
tion "The Wesleyan" hoping that
by thus honoring the founder of
Methodism they will so impress the
bishops OF the Methodist Church
that the next conference will amend
the church discipline so as to per-
NIT the Wesleyan to be danced.
Few OF the dancing masters are
Metho odists.
The Wesleyan will be advertised
by those who will teach IL at so
much a lesson as the last word in
purity II has neither shiver nor
shake; neither turkey trot nor
bunny hug.
1t is not quite so nice as the
quadrille and the, polka. nor so
stately as the waltz, but when
danced properly there isn't the
slightest danger in II, according to
the dancing masters. But the dues-
ton Is, will Il be danced property
