Supreme Court Justice Charles l.. Guy or New York city is urging war against piue law agitation of marrow minori- ties MT. Guy explains that he is in the anti-blue crusade, as he believes that the rights of the American people are actually endangered, and that as a loyal American cvitizen it is his duty to owhat he can to protect these rights. This coun- try was founded on the principle of the absolute separation of state and church, he said. Its founders came here to avoid the intolerable religious persecution which had existed for centuries and we would be abandoning the principle for which this republic was founded if we counte- nanced by the adoption of a statute or amendment of the constitution the pro- posed legislation"

ENGLAND Dancing
1.-TWO and One''

London, Oct. 6.--"Set dances
are dead and will never come
back"
"The most popular dance dur
ing the coming Winter will be
the Two and One, new COM
bination of the waltz and fox
trot, for which Herman Darew-
ski Is writing special music"
These are two of the state
ment attributes to "a we'll
known American instructor" by
London newspaper.
In addition, the "well-known
American instructor" declared
that the tango Is due to come
back in a simplified form and
the old fashioned waltz as dan
ced by our forefathers Is also
due for a renewed spell OF
popularity.
Dancing as a help to renewed
youth for the aged is also .ouch-
ed upon by the, instructor, who
said:
"Curiously enough, we find
that our most enthusiastic pupils
are people Of forty years and
over. A great many of these,
both men and women, come to
us for instruction. They say that
dancing helps them to recover
their youth.
