Dempsey, like other former worlds
heavyweight champions, spends q great
share of his idle time around his train

Santa Fe tracks for Denver, according
to announcement by the Colorado

With the recession of the flood wat
ers OF the Arkansas river to a point
which made most of the downtown
streets and railroad yards accessible,
considerable progress was expected to
be made today in clearing up streets
and buildings and searching for bodies.
"The list Of known dead probably
will take big Jump today" Captain
o. l.. Dennis Of Denver, commander
OF the Colorado rangers, said.
Aside from the relief work and clean.
up Of the city, interest centered in
the mysterious fatal shooting Of E. f.
Withers, prominent business man, as
he was riding home in his automobile
last night with his son, vollie.
Withers was shot through the head,
the top OF his head being blown off
He had been commanded to halt and
was bringing his car to stop when
he was killed Captain Dennis was
inclined to believe that the shooting
was accidental.
The military order requiring all
able-bodied men to report for work
brought out large force early today
and they were put to work unloading
food trucks and cleaning up the city.
1t was planned to send a rescue
party down the river in boats in an
effort to recover bodies.
Red Cross officials, at meeting
last night estimated that the death
list will mount to five hundred when
a complete count is possible.
The outstanding feature Of the Pu-
eblo disaster is the utter absence OF
discouraged grief. A man who wit

 Dancing is not essentially wrong On the trary it may beautiful and graceful Many young man or young is the better for dancing and many has regretted that he did learn to dance.
 There is. it is true. disgraceful dancing and there is dancing disgraceful places. But we know of no good thing in the world which has not been abused; no good thing which has not had bad terpart.
 We do not know how when such prejudice there is, grew against dancing which has been tural expression. as natural as speech or walking, since the earliest times There have been religious dances, both among civilized people and heather.
 We believe that the objection first raised England in the Seventeenth Century of the protests against centousness of the arstocracy whose dances well the general conduct of the fashionable world lewd.
 Much of the literature of that period was not it should have been. but literature should not be generally condemned, though we believe that some people who condemned dancing disposed to prescribe all literature except religious literature

THE LATIN GENIUS
BY DR. FRANK CRANE fCopyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

On 12 July statue of the Genie Latn," the Genius of the Latin People, was unveiled with appro- priate ceremonies in Paris by the President of the French Republic.
 What is the Latin Genius?
 By the Latin races mean simply speaking, those peoples who have derived their language from the Latn the most prominent examples being the French the Italian and the Spanish.
 What is the peculiar genius that characterzes these people?
 Let us take a little testimony.
 Professor of Columbia says that it consists of two general tendencies first capacity for logical thinking (as illustrated in Descartes and, second mystic tend ency Gas illustrated in PascaD.
 The love of conquest manifested itself in the days of Napoleon but since his collapse Latin writers have been rather ashamed of that episode.
 Anatole France gives Sainte Beuve's estimate of the Latin Genius "clear thought based ntl- tion of logical and spiritual values plus good tase as shown by brevty in expression and ghtness of syle
 Santayana, of Harvard, says that while German philosophy worked for selfish ends the Latin philosophy is social and inclusive.
 Alfred de Vigny dAnnunzio, Rostand and others say that among the Lans is strong love of glory, that is for military exploits and political magnflcence and display as ends in themselves.
 Most French, Italian and Spanish writers insist that the Latin Genius is not thing but rests upon the solid facts of great and long traditions, dating back to ancient Rome.
 Consequent upon this belief there is common among these writers certain air of superiority not to say superciousness when they refer to other naons and particularly America in matters of art literature or philosophy There is no doubt they think comfortably we'll of themselves
 One group of writers, including Chateaubriand, Joseph de Maistre Huysmans and Lemaitre maintain that the Roman Church but represents the Latin Genius in spirit in thought and in organization.
 The opposite group, however, influenced by the French revolution contends that the Latin Genius rep resents revolt from authority, and social emancipa tion from Church traditions. | And so on and so on.
 From all of which, if you can gather just what the Latin Genius really is, you are to be congratulated
 The opinion of the humble serivener of these lines is that it mostly fancful and that Frenchman for instance differs from another as star differeth from another star in glory"
