six beats; then lower the foot slow
ly for four beats. AS you bring the
foot to the floor the idea Is to trip
the couple nearest you.
The Dip-The dip is not being
done very much any more. How.
ever, IL you want to do It there is
no law to prevent you; in fact,
there seems to be no law to pre-
vent you from doing anything in
dancing. To do the dip you Just
let the one knee drop to the floor.
II should be dropped forcefully so
that when the knee comes into con-
tact with the floor the impact can
be heard above the din Of the brass
drum in the orchestra.
The Shimmy-The best time TO
learn to shimmy is on some cold
Winter night. When you start 20
shiver try to concentrate the shiv.
ers all to your shoulders. II You
want to learn this dance In the
Summer time go to some coli
storage plant.
The Toddle-The toddle can be
easily and quickly learned by TAX
ing two spiral springs out Of that
old leather chair you have in the
attic. Fasten one sring to each
heel. Then start to dance and
you'll be surprised at the result.
It's impossible for us to give all

the new dances here. Further.
more, the chances are they'd be all
out of style anyway by the time
this goes to o.press. Anyway, when
you have mastered the above you
have learned the fundamental prin-
ciples OF dancing. Your success
as a dancer depends entirely upon
how double-jointed you are.
General Observation-Disclosures
the days of the graceful minuet are
over. Therefore do not try to be
graceful else people will point you
out as "a rotten dancer" The
more awkward you appear on the
floor the more people will han you
as a good dancer. Try every way
possible to fall down.
When the floor is crowded al.
ways choose a rather stout girl for
your partner. They prove wonder
full on the defense, and no matter
how manv people collide with you
your partner will remain as un.
shaken as a stonewall and thus you
will not be thrown out OF step.
The Ducly Flop, the Policeman's
Stride, the Butter Roll, the Land.

Iceman's Glide, etc, are steps

shin, and vice versa to turn her
to the left. II you want to pivot,
kick her with both feet on both
shins simultaneously.
Forward-To go forward is very
easy. Just get tight grip on your
partner and start down the floor
like you leave home in the morn
ing for the office when you are
half an hour late. Pay no atten.
tion to the other dancers as you
topple them over. Be careful
however, In stepping over them
that you do not get out of time
with the music. Should you have
to tread on any. be careful and do
not step in their faces, as nothing
makes the average dancer so angry
as to have someone step in their
face.
Reverse-When you wish TO re-
verse you should signal your part
ner by choking her with both
hands. Then, with a death.like
grip, close your eyes and start
down the floor. When you run into
something solid and immovable you
will know that you have reached
the other end OF the dance floor
and that you are against the wall,
Then reverse again or 60 forward
The SideStep-This Is a very
favorite step among the best dane.

ToN'T be wallflower! Get
out and warm up with the
rest OF the bunch. Dancing
is one Of the oldest arts in the
world, and there Is no reason why
everyone shouldn't be able to kick
a wicked heel. Our lessons are so
thorough that one reading will
make you a finished dancer. Now,
let's 60:
The Step-In dancing the main
idea is to keep in step with the
music. 1t doesn't matter what you
do just so you keep time. Wig
Cling an ear, blinking an eye,
sneezing or coughing may be done
at any time Just so 1t Is In time
with the music. The student will
therefore grasp that 1t is not neces-
sary to use the feet at all times.
However when the feet are used
they should be used on the floor.
Walking on your lady partners
toes not only throws her out Of
step, but It may also influence her
somewhat in refusing to dance with
you again when you ask her. How
ever, II you must get on her toes
do not pick on the right foot en-
tirely; be versatile by treading on
her left foot once in a while.
The Turn-To turn your partner
TO the right, kick her on tho left

For they play with you, you mu,t play, too,
Or sit in the lonesome row.

Welded FLY
W LIVES LONG
Insect Bachelors Resem-
BILE Humans, Says Johns
Hopkins Professor.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 1s.-In
his laboratory at Johns Hop
kins University DIR. Raymond
Pearl, professor of biometry and
vital statistics. now has a col
ony of more than 100. 900 fruit
flies. with which he is expert
menting in longevity and mar
riage. The professor is con-
WINGED that his proven fact that
married flies live longer than
single ones, shows that natri-
mony Is conducive to longevity
OF humans. DR.. Pearl has
found that the mortality laws
for both the flies and humans
are the same fundamentally.
One day in a fruit fly's life Is
equivalent to about a year in
the life of a man. Their aver
age life is about forty-five Gays
and the oldest live to be l06
days old.
The flies. DIR. Pearl says. have
their sickness and disease
much the same as humans. At
times they develop a sort of
cancer. BY breeding one group
with another. DIR. Pearl has
watched the effects of condi-
tions of health, temperature
and ventilation. He has found
that. by breeding healthy flies
under the proper cond tions, he
can develop a race OF long-iiyed
individuals.
