DAVID DANCED BEFORE
THE LORD

King David of the Jews, so the Bible
reports danced in the temple at Jer-
usalem as a religious performance. 1t
is we'll known now that the sanitary
observances and washings commanded
by Moses to the Israelites as religious
rites and as coming direct from God,
have been verified by hygienic science
of to-day as imperative to healthful
living. 1t stands to reason then that
dancing performed as a religious rite
in the past, was performed because of
its hygienic value.
1t is well-known that perfect circu-
lation Of pure blood will insure perfect
health. and as the rhythm of dancing
sets the blood scintillating through ev-
cry artery and blood vessel, it is one
of the greatest means to improve the
circulation that can be resorted to.

UNITED STATES ENDS
WAR WITH GERMANY

By the signing of the Knox-Porter
resolution in the Peace-pact, by Presi-
dent Harding Saturday last, the United
states has at last decided that it is no
longer at war with Germany.
The resolution was passed by the
Senate last Friday night, after much
discussion, and the President signed
the bill Saturday.
Ten minutes after the Senate Friday
had placed its official approval. upon
the declaratory point resolution to ef-
feet an end to the technical state Of
hostilities still in force, the measure
was on its way to the White House.
The President had left for a short
vacation trip to the home of Senator
Frelinghuysen at Raritan, N. J., bbut a
special messenger reached him on Sat-
urday.
Passage of the resolution in the SEN
ate followed an afternoon Of debate,
during which Democrats bitterly crit
icised its terms.
The vote was 38 to 29. Three Dem
ocrats voted for the resolution; Shiels
of Tennessee, Walsh of Massachusetts,
and Watson of Georgia. All the Re-
publican senators who were present
voted in favor of the resolution. Dem
ocrats argued that passage of the reso-
hutton meant that America must make
separate peace with Germany or en-
ter the treaty of Versailles.

WHAT SHIP OWNERS
 ARE UP AGAINST

The problems facing American shipping today are tremendous, says William Averell Hartman, Chairman of the Board of the United American Lines in The Nations Business. Foreign competition is very strong and aggressive. Foreign shipping companies have the advantage of long experience and widespread trade connections. Our foreign competi- tors also enjoy more liberal naviga- tion laws. They have a further ad- vantage in that the wages of their seamen are lower. These handicaps to American shipping companies look large, and while I am hopeful of our success ip overcoming them, do not fail to appreciate the vast amount of thought and labor required to ac- complish that end.
 In addition to foreign rivalry we must meet at present government competition. We have a line of ships running between the east and west coasts of the United States. The United States Shipping Board has vessels in that trade in competition with ours under a rate agreement. There is not enough cargo for all the lines. The Shipping Board can main- tain this service even though it's ships sail with part cargoes; the United States Treasury can stand the strain PLANS FOR YOUR NEW HOME and the taxpayer will pay the bill But it must be obvious that private capital cannot do business on this basis, and will be forced out unless the Government changes it's policy.

ernment staff eat in their hotels or in the Kremlin, if they happen to be employed there. Officials of the government are treated no better in this regard than the workingmen. Lenine and Trotsky eat at the Krem- lin, for example, but the partake of tke same food as the remote peasant in the district of Samara. Some speculation flourished here and there but this is unavoidable and while the government, on the whole. does not wish to deal too severely with these offenders, it cannot be said that speculation is widespread. On the other hand, where it is particularly fragrant the punishment is likely to be heavy and drastic. The law works with the strictest impartiality in these cases, as when sixteen com munists were executed in Moscow last summer for profiteering on food stuffs.
 If the present form of government survives in Russia, no small part of it's continuance, I believe, will be di- rectly due to efficiency and organi- zation of the Supreme Economic Council, which has undertaken, de- spite the discouraging blockade, the almost impossible task of rationing ITO million neOpIe.

 However, despite the fact that pre- war Germany supplied the bulk ot Europe's beat sugar, Germany's pro- duction in 1920-21 is insufficient to meet domestic requirements. It is predicted no exports will be possible.
 This is because sugar beet raisers favor selling their product to manu- lecturers other than sugar refiners, in order to sidestep the governmental control and fixation of maximum prices. Wherefore business is car ried on untrammeled with other fac tories and prices obtained exceeding the governments maximum. Ambi- ton of government control, on the other hand, will undoubtedly see Germany resuming her place as a sugar exporting nation.

LARGE LOSS IF LIFE
 ARKANSAS STORM
Towns In Miller and Hempstead Counties Suffer From Terrific
 Storm.

Little Rock, April 16.-Thirty-five persons are reported to have been killed in the storm which swept Southwestern Arkansas Friday night and this number is expected to be increased when details come in. The reports so far received are meager as communication in the stricken territory has been practically par alyzed.
 The storm seems to have been the most severe in Hampstead county north of Hope, although great deal of damage was done in other parts of that county and in Miller.
 It was reported that in some places whole families were wiped out, but on account of lack of communication these reports could not be verified. The towns in the path of the storm were all small.
 The storm first struck about 3:30 Friday afternoon, demolishing a school house at Trigenta, few miles southeast of Texarkana, caus- ing the death of one negro. School had just been dismissed when the storm came.
 A mixed freight and passenger train on the Missouri Pacific be- tween Hope and Nashville was caught and cars were blown out of the train. All windows in the pas senger coaches were broken, but none of the passengers were injured.
 The latest reports give the number of dead at 60 and 200 injured. The property damage is estimated at $1.00O.000.
 The storm struck near Texarkana and moved northeastward along a path one mile wide and more than 25 miles long.
 The reports are all unofficial be- cause of communication being block ed, but it is stated that the twister tore up crops and ravished all veg citation in it's path. Many planta- tions were utterly demolished.
 Thirty-seven dead are reported from Hampstead County alone; Mil Ter county reports at least 12 dead and the same number is reported from Cash county, Texas.
 Red Cross Offers Aid. St. Louis, April 16.-The ful re- sources of the Southwestern Division of the American Red Cross here has been offered to the citizens of South western Arkansas which was struck by a tornado yesterday.
 Disaster experts have been sent to the scene to give such assistance as they may be able to extend and to see what other relief is necessary.

 Brussels. (By Mail. 1.-Two years ago Europe suffered severe sugar shortage. Today every European sugar market is overstocked, accord ing to figures published here.
 Every European beet sugar pro- ducing country, even Austria, has pro duced larger crops in 1920-21 than in 1919-20, with the exception of Russia and the Ukraine, where a de- cided curtailment is reported.

BANDITS SECURE
 LARGE AMOUNT LOOT
Two Bank Messengers Held Up and Relieved of More Than
 $60O,000.

Chicago, April 15.-Four daring bandits held up two Chicago clearing house messengers and escaped with $638,000 in negotiable checks.
 The two messengers left the clear ing house with the checks for the outlying banks. They boarded an Illinois Central suburban train and the four bandits, who had apparently followed them from the clearing house, boarded the same train.
 When the train reached Twentieth street all four bandits pulled revol- vers and covered the passengers and messengers. The satchel containing the checks was seized and the con- ductor who entered the car was or dered to stop the train. The bandits leaped from the train, jumped "a fence and hailed a taxi.
 One of the passengers attempted to follow the bandits, but stopped when one of them emptied revolver at him.
 Another Attempted Robbery
 Chicago, April 15.-One bandit was killed and three were captured and policeman was shot today when five bandits attempted 70 hold up the Cicero State Bank at Cicero, III.
 The men entered the bank, held up the cashier and swept all the avail able cash into bags. When they started for their automobile the cash fer, s. B. Witoska, followed them and started a revolver battle.
 Before the bandits could reach the machine the chauffeur started tine auto and fled, leaving his compan- ions.
 Witoska killed one bandit and held the other three until achievements arrived.
 One policeman was slightly injured during the fusilade.
