Of the National Dancing Masters
association, who was commissioned
by the recent convention held in

on at the recent convention could
be made most effective.
New York Is Waltzing!
She returned today from a trip
which took in most of the larger

dancing already has been initiated,

IAIL PEACE BASIS FOUND, JEWELL SAYS
Judge Refuses to Dismiss Small Ciul Suit
Dancing Is On Probation II,
U.S., Teacher Says; Must Be
Reformed or Will Be Banned

lie halls is the "old fashioned"
waltz.
In certain places-she says that
they are mostly the smaller cities
the tendency to "jiggle and jerk"
the body remains. But that is more
or less incidental, in her opinion,
and will be wiped out when it no
longer is fashionable.
The various dancing masters
have decided that they will retain
the steps from the tango and
dances Of this character but to
make them acceptable to specta-
tors the music will be speeded up
so that there will no longer be pre-
sented tie spectacle on the dance
floors Of participants swaying their
bodies while their feet seemingly
are glued to the floor.
Cut ~Naughty" Dances.
For the first time in the history
of the country there will be a COM
plete understanding among the
dance teachers SO that naughty"
dances will be cut from the pro-
grams.
In Mrs. Warrington's opinion the
teachers themselves have been to
blame but she believes that here
after they will be able to control
the situation and see that their pu-
pills understand that unless the
dancing is reformed by those who
love it the blue law advocates will
step in and end public dancing ev-
erywhere.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-"As

an old political slogan, but for the

The Republicans have carried
Maine for United States senator

tensively that they say that if the

Chicago, Sept 12.-Reasons Why
business ought to be good were
pointed out by John M. Glenn, sec
retary Of the Illinois Manufactur-
ers' association, in a luncheon ad-
dress today In which he compared
the railroads to the heart and cir
culation system of the human body.
THE Lord has blessed US with a
wonderful crop including practic-
ally everything that comes from the
SOIL" he said. Financial condi-
tions are favorable and there is a
disposition on the part of all class
es to go into the market.
These carriers, both steam and
electric" said Mr.. Glenn, referring
to the railroad situation, may be
regarded as the heart of business
and talk of any kind of legislation
or regulation or interference with
their operation will arouse wide
spread discussion"
Attacks Trade Unions.
Mr.. Glenn declared that if the
government continues regulation of
the railroads, "it will also have to
include as carriers those who trans
port goods and passengers in auto
mobiles for hire"
One thing in connection with the
transportation. situation, which
seems to be solving itself, is trade
union domination" Mr.. Glenn said
ut looks as il the American people
have reached a point where they
would not longer tolerate being

unions enforced with murder, the
