Of 1t as an art has been spreading. There

courageous band of male dancers. These
are the real martyrs of the cause, for,
although David in the Bible danced for
the Glory of Jehovah in the face of his
wife's disapproval, solo dancing has now
come to be regarded as primarily a fem
mime art. Solo dancing by couples, Of

But the important point is that this

all our dan es Just as our architec-

Washington, Aug. 5.-Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Blair has no intention of making war on thome brewing" Despite the fact that the commissioner feels that manufacture of the home product which contains more than one-half of one per cent alcohol can be dealt with under the provisions of the Volstead law he issued no in- structions to his agents throughout the country to put a stop to this practice on the part of the American public,
 While home brewing might be re- garded as contrary to the prohibit tion law" said Commissioner Blair yesterday, "it seems to me that the efforts of our organization should be spent in other directions than invading ones home in search of intoxicants made on the premises and intended solely for home con sumption.
 What we are striving for is the suppression of the bootlegger and the prosecution of those who are reaping the large fortunes through illicit sale of intoXicants. There arc no agents working under my direction who have received author ity to suppress the practice of home brewing"

 CURED IN LESS

Marvellous Development of Chaulmoogra Oil in Treat ment of Most Loathsome Disease.
trnternat,onal News service)

Honolulu Hawai-. - Complete abandonment of the famous Kalau papa Settlement Island of Molokai, as a leprosarium may be effected within the next few years in view of the remarkable results that are being obtained from the use of new chaulmoogra oil specific, creat- ed by Dr. Arthur L. Dean presl- dent of the University of Hawaii, in treatment of leprosy.
 No more patients are being sent to the Kalaupapa Settlement be- cause of the success of the specific, all new cases being treated at the I<alihi Hospital, Honolulu, from which patients are often released as cured in less than d year It has been estimated that within two years from 65 to 75 per cent of the pa tients at Kalaupapa will have been released as cured. As a number of patients will undoubtedly not de- sire to leave Molokai, they may be allowed to take up homesteads there.
 If present plans materialize, the 450 or 500 newspapermen from for ty countries who are coming to Honolulu in October to attend the sessions of the Press Congress of the World will be taken on tour Of inspection of the settlement and given an opportunity to see what a really modern and efficient institu- tion it is. So impressed were mcm- bers of the 1921 Hawaiian Legisla- lure with the settlement that they granted substantial additional ap- propriations for it and increased the allowance to and gave other conr sessions to the patients.
 Instead of being downllearted, as they once were, when hope for re- lief seemed unthinkable, the Kalau- papa patients have taken new lease on life and have the utmost faith in the new specific, looking for ward to, the day when they will be cured and allowed to return to their homes.

THE IDEA! ASKS POOR SOLONS TO ATTEND EACH SESSION

Washington, Aug 5.-Truant Con gressmen will have to reform and begin punching the time clock if Representative I<issel of New York has his way. He has introduced a bill for the payment of salaries of members of Congress on the basis of their attendance. Awful" was the word he used to characterize the abscnteeism which now pre- vails in the House.
 The Kissel bill proposes that af- ter this Congress, the pay of mem bers be raised from $7,500 to $15,- GOO providing they attend each ses- sion and answer every roll call. Unless a member is given unanimous consent to be absent, the bill pro- poses he shall receive no pay for any week during which he fails to attend every session.
 In the event member fails to answer 30 roll calls in any one session or consecutively MT. Kissel would authorize the speaker or the vice president to declare his seat vacant. He proposes as further measure to insure attendance that a part of the regular business of both houses of Congress that the roll be called just after the prayer and before adjournment.
 By the system of payment advo- cated by Mr. Kissel q member would have deducted from his pay $300 for each day he was absent during a 50-day session. $50 per day of absence in a 100-day session and 1875 per day in a 200-day session.
 If I had my way after mem Der missed a dozen roll calls l would fire him out said Representative Kissel.
