ton of cold heartedness was badly ldented.
 You can't tell Alice Bloom any thing, however, about the cute ways of animals Miss Bloom met the cum ningest little doggie and the result was the loss of her hair and the ac- quisition of lawsuit. The terrier be- longed to some people who invited Miss Bloom for yachting trip up the Hudson. Miss Bloom had Sl2S wig to cover her bobbed head. When the trip began the wig was inside her cabin, and when the trip ended the wig was inside the dog. Miss Bloom wrathfully brought suit and the ter rier's sense of humor cost her owner $50.
 It was a burst of generosity whica cost Abe Goldstein $1.000 in bail. And as a result of everything Herman Schwartz doesn't believe in human nature anymore. Herman bought brown suit as birthday gift for himself When he woke up on the festive morn, he found ragged gray suit draped over the chair where his new. trousers had hung. His cigars and purse were also gone. Herman donned the tattered suit and went forth dejectedly. As he scuffed along the Bowery a kindly faced man handed him a dime. Herman glanced up. Into the kindly face was thust birthday cigar and below the kind ly face extended the new brown suit. Herman laid hold on suit and cigar and hung on till the police arrived.
 "A whale of q note" said Herman, "a burglar tips me with my own cash from my own pocket"

DANCING TEACHERS BLAME COMPOSERS
 FOR JAZZ STEPS
Question of Responsibility Is One Which Many Consider By No Means lnconse-
 quentaI
By Associated Press

New York, September 24.-It is all most impossible to find out who is to blame for jazz dancing.
 Really, this Is question which many consider by no means inconse- quential. At first thought. one might pin the responsibility on the dancing teachers, hut if you ask them they will shrug their tuxedoed shoul- ders in rhythmic manner and plead not guilty. It's the fault of the com posers, they will tell you, passing the buck iI double quick time.
 The denial of. the composers is sharp, thelr contradiction flat and the explanation of the why of jazz music natural-they give the public what it wants.
 Seemingly the public Is divided in its opinion on this big question. Some say the younger generation is to blame. Jazz dancing and jazz music are, to repeat their own words, just exactly what one might expect when the youth of land gads about in sporty automobiles. stimulates con tempt for Mrs. Grundys ideas and shows determination to do every thidg is a fast and snappy way.
 Others maintain that jazz is a nat ural reaction to Victorian customs. A few of their neighbors, almost abandoning hope, resign themselves to the thought that that something called the spirit of the age is really the reason for fitfui dancing styles, expressing wonder the while as to just what this little old world is coming to.
 The maner in which the dancing in structors put the blame on the chaps who create tunes Is eXemplified by R. w. Vizay, president of the American Society of Dancing teachers.
 Dancing is wholly a matter of music" He said. The reason a waltz is out of date is because there is no Strauss today to compose a real one and make the people glide to 1t. When good music is composed, good dancing will result. As long as you have jazz music you will have jazz dancing"
 very small proportion of couples dance properly these days. MT. Vlzay remarked. Take the ordinary ball room. he said, and you will see 20 couples toddling, five shimmying, three doing the Chicago" and ten dancing properly. The teachers show their pupils how to dance properly. he continued, but when they leave and begin rcacting to the jazz tunes of the cabaret and the roof garden well, now, how are you going to keep 'em from shaking mean ankle?

HARDING TESTING WORLD SINCERITY

Conference Will Either Start Whole -Souled DiSarma- ment 'or Staggering

By ROBERT T. SMALL

Special Correspondent of The Age e-Herald.
 Copyright, 1891, by The Age-Heraid.)
 Washington, September 24.-Al- though the phrase is borrowed from a previous occupant, of the White House, the Harding administration has undertaken an acid test of the sincerity of the leading nations of the world.
 It is no longer a secret that the United States took the lead in bring ing about this conference because it Is the nation best able to continue to arm in the future. The last thing the people of the United States ce- sire, the last thing that Prsident Harding would want to engage in, would be an armament race with any other nation or any other combina ton of nations.
 Plain and sincere words are likely to be uttered across the armament conference table. And so when it comes the time for the United States government to place its cards upon the table, they will be face up. There will be sufficient publicity to the conference to let the world know that if the other nations are not willing to cooperate frankly end freely with the United States in bringing about what President Hard ing terms approximate disarma- ment." the United States can st a

MOON IN MAKING
 SHOWN BY FILM
Home- Made Movie Takes Spectators Back to Begin-
 ningS of Planets Creation

London, September 24.--A home ex- pertinent With home made movie machine has eclipsed all the fancy, imaginative, pseudo scientific work of the thrill studios in adventures in space.
 Working with a ball of modelling clay, student of geology and as- tronomy has produced a film that shows moons in the making. and is a perfect lesson in elementary science. l saw planet slip out of a sun and take it's place in the universe Just as certain as could be, and much more thrillingly than if I had been up in the clouds on one of the marvellous radium- driven shebangs of a trick factory working for the propagation of impossible science. The professional stunt pictures never fail to persuade me that there was nothing in their science. except a perilous- imagination: the home- made picture was according to facts, and could be verified by reference.
 Whether the average man is fol- lower of Copernicus or Calico, he wants to know something about the universe. There is often a loose comet or star" wandering about in space, and more than once people have waited in the cold on the tops of mountains and other places ex- pecting to hear or feel a terrific bump as some rebel of space ended it's wanderings Cor ours) in the col llsion.
 Nobody has yet seen the new plan cts or new moons being made. We know something about them. We know how they probably arrive. There have/been many learned mon ographs written about the nebula hypothesis, whatever that may be. Myriads of people have told us that the moon was showed out into space to have plenty of room to cool off.
 Sees Renl Thing
 But 1 have seen 1t done, seen 1t so realistically done that I could have been persuaded that some new tele- photo camera had been present at creation, with an expert at the han dle of the camera and a loud voiced director telling the sun where to pose and what to do. The real thing, however, was nothing more than a good sized ball of modelling clay clever lighting-and a lot of work.
 The scientist, with a flair for the movies, took his clay and modelled it into ball. which he illumined carefully and photographed. It ap- peared then as flaming sphere. One exposure. It was then modelled lit- tie more, and photographed. Sun spots. Two exposures. Modelling and lighting then gave it the ap- pearance of producing pi pie. Three exposures. The pimple grew More exposures. Singularly enough the pimple was on the top of the sun. and l was advised to wait for 1t to drop off. Being earthbound l did not understand that 1t Is just as easy to drop off upwards as 1t Is to drop off downwards. until my scientist friend informed me that there Is no up and no down in space. And be- sides. as I saw later, the pimple cesnt' drop. 1t Is pushed.

 headquarters Turkish Nationalist Army, September 24.--Col. Maxim Bey with his Fourth division, lost his life and saved the main body of Gen. Is met Pasha's forces from being taken in the rear and possibly routed dur ing the frontal attack made with su- perior forces and equipment by the Greeks in the Kutahlia zone.
 In recognition of his services, Gen. Isnlet Pasha published note to the army stating that in his entire mili- tary career, including also his knowl- edge of military history, he knew Of no finer example of neroism and intelligent valor. He also paid high tribute to the remnants of Col Ma zim's division remaining after stand ing for two days against three Greek divisions, any one of which was stated to be superior in numbers to that of Nazim.
 The Greeks had planned, in addi- tion tC the frontal attack on Kuta- hia, surprise raid on the Turk rear with three living divisions, and the surprise appears to have been com plete,

Scheme to Settle Million English on
 Farms In Australia
By Associated Press

Sydney, September 24-Australians are interestedly discussing a scheme proposed by Sir Joseph Carruthers, Australian publicist and financier, for the settling of 100000 English till CTS of the soil upon 100000 farms in fund of s15O.OOo.Oo0 to be raised in equal proportion by Australia and GI eat Britain.
 He argued that the scheme would permit the em grafton to Australia of a large number of the unemployed service men of the kingdom to some of the richest land in the world, which as yet has never felt a plow- share.
 Sir Joseph stressed the value to Great Britain of the man power brought to Australia by the under taking. He declared that it would be better for the United Kingdom to support such a scheme than to build warships in contemplation of Aus tralias danger should the Pacific be- come a war zone.
 Australian government immigra- tion officials in London lauded the scheme, pointing out that it was sim liar to a $100,000,000 plan submit ted by Senator Millen, minister for repatriation. to the colonial emigra- tion conference in January and Feb ruary. It is solely question Of capital, they pointed out.
 It is interesting to note in the same connection that Icheya kadono, a Japanese newspaper man making tour of Australia, suggested in an interview that it might be advisable to permit limited number of good type Japanese farmers to settle i'll the far north of Australia, where they could grow tropical fruits. the region being i'm the tropical zone. The farmers could be brought out on a 3O-years' agreement. If they made good at the end of the period they could have their leases renewed. In that way, he said, it would be pos sible to see what the north areas were capable of producing and what type of immigrants the Japanese made.

He did so, and during these iS hours of constant fighting and retreating he was wounded by a rifle ballet but kept on his horse until struck by d second bullet, toward the end of the fight.

-------------------- --9es' - - SETTLING UP WITH MARS

From the Thrift magazlne.
 We are informed by the statisticians that 77.3 per cent of all national expendi- lures by our government at the present time are for purposes of war.
 Take a pencil and paper and figure up how much of your federal taxes are a tribute to Mars.
 War is humanity's greatest source of waste.
 Mankind can never be truly thrifty un- til the last shot in the last battle in the last war has been fired.
 That will probably be good many years from the present time.
 Human civilization has not yet reached the point when 1t can get along without fighting and killing, devastating and hating.
 Before there can be end of war there must be many changes in human nature.
 But the best thought of the world is being directed toward universal and eter. nal peace. It should be in the minds of all men in all countries that war should cea sa forever.

 Paris, September 24.--A s100, 900. - O0O project for harnessing the tide in the Bay of Mont Saint Michel has been proposed by group of Ameri- can engineers to the chamber of com merce of the town of Granville, de- partment of Manche.
 The plan involves the construction of 13 miles of barriers In the bay, consisting of coffers in which tur- pines and alternators would be in stalled. Through the rise and fall of the tide 1t is hoped to develop 6.000,- 000,000 kilowatt hours year. sun by narrow channel. That chan mel is molded smaller and smaller and the planet is free. pushed by a force greater than gravity out into the universe beyond the gravita- tional pull of the sun.
