SKINNY, JAZZ
FAR FROM new
Curator of Museum Says
Ancient Peruvians Knew
Them
DRUMS MADE OF
SKINS OF ENEMY

NEW YORK-The shimmy. the
one-step and the jazz music are as
old as the hills and the ancient
melody-loving inhabitants OF Peru
were the first to produce them. To
make their claim secure for all time
they inscribed the figures OF the
dance on their prehistoric pottery
and metal so that when future arch
aeologists sought proof OF their
claim there would be no doubt
about il.
Sure enough. their claim TO fame
as the originators of the trots that
make life worth living. for a lot Of
light-footed persons has been found
by Charles W. Mead. assistant cura-
tor OF the Department Of Anthropol-
ogy in the American Museum OF
Natural History.
This discovery. incidently, blasts
the theory that jazz was first a
product OF the now extinct Barbary
Coast in San Francisco. where ad-
venturers since the day of OF 40
whirled with the girls OF the dance
halls.
And that isn't all-they have dug
up from the ruins OF old Peru such
instruments of jazz as the drum. the
cymbal, the rattle. the pipe, the flute
the whistle. the trumpet and other
devices OF sundry character.
It also is recorded that the Huan-
cas-. particularly warlike Peruvian
tribe made their drums from the
skins OF their enemies. and the
music. it is declared, was even more
terrible than the jazz OF today.
The ancient popularity Of the jazz
and shimmy is attested by the abun-
dance of dancing figures on most Of
the pottery which has been unearth-
ed and is in possession Of the Amer
lean Museum OF Natural History.

powerless to take any action.

DRY LAW SAVES
COUNTY MONEY
Less Free Cases in Hospitals
Since Volstead Act Be-
came Effective
LEVY COURT TO PAY
UNDER NEW LAW

Enforcement OF the Volstead act
has caused a considerable decrease
in the number Of free cases treated
in local hospitals according to a
statement made today by Townsend
w. Miller. one Of the Board of Man
ayers Of the Delaware Hospital. Mr..
Miller together with other officials
OF the Hospital addressed the Levy
Court today on the subject Of the
county cooperating with the hos
pitals in paying for free treatment
The recent Legislature passed an act
whereby the court can reimburse the
hospitals for the free care Of pa
tients, the expense at no time to be
more than SO a day per patient
Mr.. Miller said the Delaware Hos
pital management was willing to
present the bills for such free treat
ment to the court and were also will
ing to deduct the amount given by
the city from the bill and to have
tn. county merely pay the balance.
Relative to the cost to the county
under the new act, he said that in
1919 there we're 4,1S1 cases totalling
an expenditure of more than $1,000,
whereas in 1920. there were but
$500 cases. costing $4,000. This
decrease, he added was due to pro-
nibition. there being less accident
cases.
Basing the estimated cost on last
years figures. he said it meant that
the county would be asked to expend
about $4,000 to the hospital as the
Council appropriated $4,000 to the
hospital
Thomas f. Bayard also spoke on
the necessity for the county assisting
and referred to the fact that a $780,
900 deficit incurred during the past
three years had been liquidated by
private subscriptions and the board
Of managers.
In reply to a question asked by
Commissioner Jones il the money 10
be appropriated was to be expend-
ed for Negro patients as we'll as
whites. Mr.. Miller said the hospital
treated Negroes. Mr.. Jones referred
to the case OF Marion Jones, a

ward at the Delaware Hospital.
Mr.. Miller said that the account
had been misrepresented in the
newspapers. Benjamin F. Shaw also
spoke on this case, saying the County
Hospital was the place for such a
case. He said that had the regular

placed at the disposal OF the woman

Mr.. Shaw suggested that the Court
pay a visit to the hospitals of the
city and see what is being done for
the free patients. Nooaction was
taken the request being referred tc
the Court as a committee of the
whole.
1t was stated that similar requests
were to be made by the Homeo-
pathic and Physicians and Surgeons
