No one will frown upon the dancing
this winter if the program outlined at
a convention of dancing teachers, held in
New York recently, is carried out. In
teresl was ceniered around ideas for
better dancing for a nation which loves
it, not particularly as an art, but as a
diversion.
The dancing teachers have decided
that they will now try to make the
teaching Of dancing such that it will be
impossible for the public TO practice new
dances that have not been indorsed by
a recognized body appointed for regu-
laiing dances in the dance halls. They
have also adopted this rule: Don't per
nit vulgar. cheap, jazz music to be play
ed. Such music almost forces dancers
10 use jerky half-steps and invites i'm
mora! variations. 1t is useless to ex-
pect to find refined dancing when the
music lacks all refinement, for what is
dancing but an Interpretation of music?'
The national music chairman, general
Federation of Women Clubs, in an article
in the Ladies Home Journal for August,
on Does Jazz Put the Sin in Syncopa-
iion?" says. Jazz does for harmony what
the accented syncopation of ragtime does
Tor rhythm. In ragtime, the rhythm is
thrown ont of joint, as it were, thus
disiorling the melody; in jazz exactly
the same thing is done 10 the harmony.
Jazz originally was the accompani-
ment of the yoodoo dancer, stimulating
the half-crazed barbarian 10 the vilest
deeds. 1t has also been used by other
barbaric peoples 10 stimulate brutality
and sensualily. 1t stimulates 10 extreme
deeds, 10 4 breaking away from all rules

The license tags are shield-shaped,

vehicles which have been entered so far
this year, attention is called 10 the fact
that October l. is the last day on which
the tax may be paid without penalty.

AGAIN THE EDISON QUESTIONS

The now famous Edison questions are
again before the public because of news
paper publicity given TO the failure of
Il, 500 students TO make over an average
Of "A per cent correct answers OF them
When these questions first came out,
ii was the popular thing for everyone
TO look at them, exclaim over their fool
ishness, and pass them by. Gradually.
though, ii has become the common opin-
ion thai the reason the average person
thinks they are foolish is that he cannot
answer over half of them himself.
Some Of the answers that have been
given TO these questions, moi by grade
children, but by college students, are
appalling in their stupidity. For ex-
ample, Sim Fein was defined variously
as gang of mysterious men. lawless
mob in Russia, a party of people in
Russia trying 10 gain power, and the
Socialists of Ireland. Samuel Gompers
was identified as head of the shipbuiId-
ing trade, cabinet member, labor 5
representative in Congress, head of the
strikes, head of all the unions in the
world, and minister TO France. to Eng.
land, and 10 Japan.
In commenting on the general igno.
rance shown on these questions. Julius
Barnes, chairman of the New York Pub.
lie Service Institute, said: Unless
schools teach current events, young peo-
pie while getting an education in schools
and colleges will put off learning how to
study them till after college days are over.
No democracy can expect straight think
ing at election time and in industrial
and political crises form public that is
moi trained while at school 10 read reg.
ula.ly and TO enjoy and to think straight
about current events"
The Edison questions, whatever their
primary object was, have led to a great
deal Of thinking concerning our mod
ern methods of education. They will
undoubtedly have a tendency toward
bringing about more practical educa.
lion which will include a closer study
Of current events.

Dancing Becomes More Smooth;
Jazz Music to be Discouraged

| understand it, il is not music at all, 1t
is merely an irritation of the nerves of
hearing, 4 sensual leasing OF the strings
of physical passion. Its fault lies not
in syncopalion, for that is legitimate
device when sparingly used. But Jazz is
combination Of disagreeable sounds in
complexities discords, willful ugliness
and deliberate vulgarity."
Ever since she began teaching. Miss
Marguerite Waltz of Philadelphia, has
been an advocate Of dance censorship,
and when the shimmy and ,oddle and
ever more extreme dances became so
popular, she started an. active campaign
against them. Her work soon attracted
attention and she was appointed dance
censor by the mayor and given full au-
thority.
"Of course saws Miss Waltz, the
present.day music is greatly responsible
for immoral dancing. and if We wish TO
regulate the dance halls, We will have
TO censor the music as well. The Orien-
tai and Hawaiian and Jazz are sure
to stimulate the highly emotional and
then the aggregated steps are the certain
result"
According 10 the decress Of the dane
ing teachers at the convention, the dance
for this winter will be the tango trot, the
saunter, the society walk and the Per
shing wave. Fox-trot music is still much
in favor, but any jazz will be discour-
aged. Quieter. smoother steps are en-
dorsed. In fact there is great tendency
10 20 back to the dances of long ago.
and some Of the delegates even declared
that we would soon be doing the old
iashiond schollische and the polka. Peo-
pie are tired Of the Jazz music and the
Jazz dance.

CUBAN SUGAR

How many people know that 50 per
cent of the sugar consumed in American
homes comes from an independent re-
public. which is only ninety miles from
the coast Of Florida? This republic,
which is cuba, which gained her inde-
pendence from Spain in 1898 with the
aid Of the United States. Cuba's re-
atoms with the United States have un-
dergone Transformation in the past
twenty years, especially since the out
break Of the World War in 1914.
The nearness Of the tiny republic 10
the United States can be clearly seen,
since it is only one and one-half hours
trip by airplane from Key West TO Ha-
vana. Long distance telephone lines
have connection with all business insti-
tutions on the Atlantic coast.
Although Cuba is an independent re-
public, she has practically become part
Of the United States. American exports
TO Cuba, comprising nearly everything
that Cuba needs that We produce, in
creased under our reciprocity treaty with
the Island from about s25,OOO,OOO a year
before the war TO over S500,O00,0O0 in
1920.
The Fordney bill, an emergency act,
increases the tariff rate 90 per cent up
on Cuban sugar. The bill aims at pro-
lection for the American producers. Of
sugar at home and in our possessions.
Domestic sugar with sugar from our is.
land possessions constitute over half Of
our supply. Thus, while half of the
supply is taxed for government revenue,
the consumer must pay tribute on all Of
If. for the price Of domestic sugar will
rise OF the level Of the price Of the Gu.
ban sugar plus the amount Of the tariff.
Therefore, the consuming public will be
forced TO pay a sugar tax twice the
amount which reaches the Government
treasury
T'he Fordncy rates on sugar. il made
permanent, will greatly harm Cuba's sug-
ar industry and will impose an unjust
burden upon American consumers for
the benefit OF domestic producers. 1t
will lessen our growing export trade
with Cuba and make impossible the col.
lection Of hundreds Of millions Of dol.
lars due our banks and exporters, which
cannot be collected unless the sugar
business Of Cuba prospers.
Any blow struck at Cuba will prove to
be boomerang, which will go over the
head Of the American producer and
strike the American consumer, the in
evitable goat Of unwise Legislation.
