DANCING MASTERS HAVE new One
Pin Wheel Latest Fad for Polished Floors
q q q q q 1:
OLD STEPS Will REMAIN POPULAR

dance step. That is why the fox
trot and 0ne.Step are so popular.
> There Is only one simpler way Of
getting hot on a summer night
and that is by putting on a sweat
er and running around board
track. Running around the trick
is simpler because you 10 not
have to slow up at the corners,
you just keep right ahead.
Now if this simplicity In your
popular dancing could be only
utiiized-since all it amounts to
is a rather jaunty walk step a
great many (weII, perhaps mot a
great many, but at least one) of
our national problems would be
solved. The problem of transpor-
tation. For instance ten years
ago people were dancing the
"Boston." If only some dance
teachers convention could evolve a
new dance to be called the "Bos-
ton and Aibanyr In this dance
all people wishing to 90 from Bos-
ton to Albany or intermediate
points would assemble at the south
station, Boston, whore an ORCH
estra would be provided to roll
along the track at a moderate rate
of speed on a flat car. In a cleared
space along each side of the track
the itinerant couples would start
walking, Just as they now do in
the fox trot Cor If they were in a
hurry, the one step) only they
would walk straight ahead in time
to the music and not turn any
corners. Soon they would be at
Worcester and before they had
walked as many steps as most dan
GERS do now before the supper
dance. they would be in Spring.
field.
Here light supper could be
served for those bound for Pitts
burgh and Albany and new jazz
orchestra rushed In. Then on
again. In this way the public
craze for simple dancing would be
satisfied, our national transporta-
tion problem solved until the rail-
roads could get on their feet again
and what is now a great waste of
precious foot-pounds saved for a
really useful purpose.
This suggestion Is respectfully
submitted to the next convention
of dancing teachers for considera-
tion before they think up any
more piazza steps, or fantasia pol
kas, which no one will ever dance.

Provision on Juvenile Law
Mandatory Upon Counties
With More Than 10000.
Special to The Tribune.

Helena. Aug. 6.-Regardless OF
whether Cascade county is financially
able or desirous of providing a /deten-
ton home for juvenile offenders, it
must make such provision under the
mandate contained in chapter 251 of
the session laws of 1921, according to
an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen
eral w. d. Rankin in response to a
request from III. G. Bennett, county, at
torney of Cascade county.
This chapter merely amends chapter
122 of the laws Of 1911 by making the
law apply to counties with populations
of 10000 in place of 10000 as the old
law provided.
In his opinion, the attorney general
holds:
at is clear that the legislature
intended to make it mandatory
upon counties having a population
of over 10000 inhabitants to es-
tablish the detention home provid-
ed for. The language of the act
that the commissioners of such
counties shall provide and in
other counties may provide indi-
Gates legislative intent beyond
question to require such action in
counties of the first named class
and leave it optional with the
others.
Therefore, it is my opinion
that section %, chapter 251,
laws of 1921, is mandatory and re-
auires the establishment of the
detention homes in all counties
having a population Of over 10000
people as soon as is conveniently
possible and the condition of the
county treasury will allow, and
that warrants in payment of the
compensation and maintenance of
such home shall be drawn on the
county treasury in the same man
ner as other warrants are drawn"

The reef is more than four miles

New York, Aug. 6.-The danc-
ing teachers assembled in New
York during the past week have
worked up some new ones. Every
year they assemble and work up
some new ones. And then every.
one continues to dance the old
ones during the following year.
We may read that the latest
step from the dancing teachers
convention is called the "pin
whee". 1t is very respectable
sounding, (aII the conventions in
novations are respectable sound
ing), and involves the gentleman's

shoulder with the right hand,
holding up her chin with left and
taking three steps forward, three
steps backward, one to right and
one on her instep. The music is
that of the gavotte.

So we practice the "pin wheel"

But by the time of the next

everyone dancing the fox and the

anyone IT he has ever tried this
new dance ''the pin wheeF' we are
looked at as if we had asked a
foolish question.
No, this is probably because they
lack popular approval. They are

enough. 1t takes a simple minded

WINTER CROPS WOULD
SAVE MUCH NITROGEN

Approximately s2O,OOO,OOo worth Of
nitrogen would be saved in Kentucky
in one season by planting cover crops
on all land which Is in need Of them
providing one-half as mulch Of this
element is saved from teaching by the
crops as was saved on New York ex-
pertinent fields, according to estimates
made by r. e. Stephens, crops field
agent from the College OF Agriculture
who is cooperating with land owners
in more than so counties Of the state
in "a cover-crop campaign. This
amount Of nitrogen is enough to pro-
duce more than 100000 bushels Of
corn next year.
In addition to the nitrogen which
the cover crops would save they would
be of further benefit in that they
would prevent soil erosion, add organ
ic matter to the soil, make plant food
more available and provide winter
pasture. Mr.. Stephenson bases his esti-
mates on the fact that Kentucky has
about 100000 acres Of land under
cultivation in regular crops, 100000
acres Of which will be in need of a
winter cover crop to protect them dur
ing the season.

cording to report by E. M. Prewitt,
dairy field agent Of the College Of
Agriculture who cooperated with
County Agent J. L. Miller and the
dairymen in perfecting the organiza-
ton. All Of the animals have as their
mothers COWS who have made records
by producing from $50 to 500 pounds
of butterfat a year while two Of them
trace back to the famous Jersey sire,
Fair Glen's Raleigh, through Allen
Dale's Raleigh and New Years Raj
eigh. The association has AZ dairymen
as its members who will receive equal
benefits from the animals by mating
them to COWS on their farms. Use of
the sires on the dairy cattle Of the
county is expected to lead to the
establishment Of high-producing herds

PROPOSED STATE
SCHOOL AMENDMENTS.

D..
Amendment No. /. = What II means.
Why 4 10 proposed.
Section 81 OF the State Constitution
provides that "A Superintendent OF
Public Instruction shall be elected by
the qualified voters OF the state at the
same time the Governor is elected, for
the term of four years" Section 90
provides that "the superintendent Of
Public Instruction shall be ineligible
to reelection for the succeeding -four
years after expiration OF the term for
which he shall have been elected" Sec.
ton 95 provides that "the election un.
der this Constitution for Superintend-
ent OF Public Instruction shall be held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday In November and every -four
years.
II Is proposed to strike out those
portions Of the sections quoted above
so that the Superintendent Of Public
instruction will no longer be a con-
stitutional officer. This will leave the
Legislature free to create the Office OF
Superintendent Of Public instruction,
TO fix his qualifications, to prescribe
his powers and duties, to provide for
the manner OF his election, and to de-
termine his tenure Of office.
Objections to present plan:
l. Manner of election. At PRESENT.
superintendent must be nominated
by political party and elected by a
political party. Naturally, the office
has come to be regarded as a part Of
the political spoils; too often 1t is po-
litically administered. Amy man who
wishes to become superintendent must
make and finance two political cam
paigns. Most school men are unable or
unwilling to make two statewide po-
litical campaigns for an uncertainty.
Too often this prevents the best quail
fled men from offering for the posi-
tionn. There have been able superin-
tendents unnder the system, but where
able men have become superintendent
it has been in spite Of the system and
not because of it; they have been ex-
ceptions, and not the rule.
.. Tenure of Office. Under the pres
ent plan, the superintendent serves
four ycars and cannot be reelected
This means that every four years our
educational policies and plans will be
changed. Successful administration of
our schools depends upon continuity
of administration. There must be per-
nancy of policies and of plans. He is
