New rules and regulations govern

forming dancers of the proper dancing

Objection Raised in Congress.
1t will be recalled that certain OBJ

of Congress. and movement was
started to have it abolished But the
dance devotees, supported by school
officials who describe dancing as
type Of higher education" and youth

it retained, providing none Of the late
"wiggleS" or shakes" were intro
duced.
When the new dance order becomes
effective, the young man or young
woman who is discovered by the floor
manager attempting to intersperse
few unnecessary motions to one
step or waltz. will be quietly told to
leave the building. In other words.

must maintain correct posture and

their "shimmying" and baltimore

Discussing the proposed new dance
rules yesterday, Miss Norton made 1t
clear that only proper dancing would
be permitted in the community CEN

proper dancing" she replied:
"A proper dance is one that is
properly chaperoned has known

Restrictions on Meetings.
Community clubs and outside or

much harder task to obtain permis-

In the new rules being drafted by Miss
Norton. it is proposed TO allow state

demonstration last spring If the
farmers in the district would con-
tribute materials and labor. The re-
Spouse was gratifying. Nineteen men
and five teams were furnished, and
In two and half days the road and
bridge were completed. Everything
needed was on hand in the community
so that no time was lost going to the
mill for anything, the only expense
being $1.2O invested In nails. The
road was constructed with both gravel
and corduroy.
The demonstration was one Of the
most successful ever carried out in the
country. Nothing could have met with
more general approval and satlsfac-
tion. One farmer who makes two trips
to market a week said he would save
over $40 on every trip over the new
road because of the shorter haul.
About 500 people will be benefited by
the improvement.

LIVE LIKE A ROSE.
BY DoU

THE year is coming to a close;
The days are falling one b,
Like petals Of a dying rose,
A bloom that still In beauty goes
When all her garden days are done.
And what is life? 1t Is a year,
However many years 1t span
In childhood's springtime to appear,
To live the summer Of q man,
And then to feel the autumn here.
And what is death2 The final day
OF LIES short year, day like these
When summer puts her garb away
And winter winds begin to play
Their wild, tempestuous harmonies.
Live like the rose: The roses bloom
Not for themselves but for the earth.
Pink lamps that garden walls illume-
A decoration for our mirth.
A holy solace for the tomb.
Die like rose: Its petals fall,
But 1t is sweetness to the end
Oh, it is something, after all,
To be a rose beside the wall,
Beside the way to be a friend.
