wilfully caused the plaintiff to perform
certain dances, known and described as
the Nautch Dance and the Jazz Num-
Der Dance requiring the plaintiff to
execute many contortions, convolutions,
distortions and gyrations associated with
modern dancing alterations, particularly
twisting and writhing of the hips and shiv-
ering and convulsing of the shoulders.
"The plaintiff was thereby greatly in
jured in her health and has become and
has been suffering from a complete ner-
vous breakdown and is afflicted with
certain malady known as 'diarthrositis,'
affecting the diarthrosis joints of the
human body and especially the scapular
and ischiatic joints, which revolve freely.
Furthermore, the plaintiff has lost
control and restraint of her diarthrosis
joints and is particularly sensitive to soni-
ferrous instruments suggestive of an accen-
tuated syncopation of jazz orchestra,
melting her to involuntarily and uncon-
sciously wiggle and revolve in the move
ments of jazz dance to the plaintiffs
intense modification and embarrassment.
as result of which the plaintiff has be-
come greatly disordered, reduced and
weakened in body, and has suffered great
pain, humiliation and embarrassment"
How on earth did the unfortunate Miss
Ehlers ever contract such an extraor-
dinary malady and what actually is her
disease?
The second question comes first Diar-
throsis, says medical science, is the very
natural process by which our joints move.
Diarthrositis is any condition affecting this
process.
The diarthrostic movements, continues
science wisely, are: arthrodia, in which
the joints glide upon plane surfaces; enar-
throsis, or ball and socket joint move
ments in all directions; ginglymus, or
hinged joint motion backward and for
wards, and diarthrosis rotaria, or pivotal
motion.
We find that scapular means pertaining
to the shoulder blades and ischiatic. per.
tanning to the "inferior part of the bone
upon which the body rests in sitting. This
movement" continues science, may also
affect, the innominate bone, which forms
the sides and anterior wall e. the pelvic
cavity and composes the ischium, pubic
and ilium." The ilium, or flank, it is ex-
planned, may loosely be called the hips.
Miss Ehlers's trouble then is that when
"soniferous instruments" such as the saxo-
phone begin to groan and moan and svn-
copation titillates the air she is unable to
control her scapular diarthrosis or move
ment of her shoulder blades and the mo-
tions of her ischium and ilium.
She has, in short, jazz joints.
Medical science, although the thing is
unusual, knows also just why Miss Ehlers's
joints won't behave. Near the base of the
brain is little gland called the pituitary
One of its functions is to control the
rhythms of the body-the rhythm of the
heart beat, rhythm of the muscles in walk
ing, dancing, and so on, and, Of course,

MISS MARIE EHLERs was. shopping
V in Chicago department store the
other day when she heard hun
dred toots, shrieks and whistles arising
just outside the store.
Hurriedly paying for her purchases she
went out to see what was going on.
1t was political parade and the uproar
was caused by "jazz band" at the head
of the procession. A score of earnest
colored musicians were putting away at
their horns and creating weird combina-
tion of syncopated sound.
Along with thousands of other specta-
tors Miss Ehlers smiled-and then she
felt twitch in her shoulder. Her other
shoulder jerked upward without any
warning. Her left hip shook violently.
There was an answering convulsive move
ment of her right hip, and then her
shoulders and hips began jerking in all
directions at once!
She was doing an involuntary and very
public "shimmy'' and was utterly power
less to stand still
The scores of spectators of the pa
rade were quick to notice Miss Ehlers's
strange conduct and formed ring about
the unfortunate girl, who shivered and
shimmyed and shook faster and faster as
the musicians increased the cadence of
the rag-time melody.
Her purchases fell from under her arm.
Her hat worked down over her eyes. Her
handbag jiggled up and down with the
movement of her shoulders, and there was
nothing she could do to prevent it!
Worst of all, the laughing spectators
of her humiliation were quite sure that
she was staging an open-air dance for
their benefit and applauded with all their
might apd main.
A policeman noticed the commotion and
rode up to the curbing on which the un-
happy Miss Ehlers stood-and shook.
Jumping from his horse, he waded into
the crowd and seized her arm.
Here! none of that" he said. where
do you think you are? In Egypt?"
But Miss Ehlers only shimmied more
violently than ever. And then the police
man saw from the intense surprise and
embarrassment that was pictured upon
her face that some thing very extraordin-
airy was happening and endeavored to
hold her still.
The spectators, too, helped, but Miss
Ehlers's shakes did not subside until the
band had turned another corner and the
music could no longer be heard. Then
she hurst into tears and calling a taxicab
hurried to her home.
Not long after that Miss Ehlers filed a
suit for $4,000 against Mr.. Ernie Young,
Chicago theatrical producer. The COM
plant, one of the most interesting ever
filed in Cook County, sets forth that the
plaintiff, being of sound body and health,
was engaged by Mr.. Young to dance in
the arabian Nights" at the Marigold
Gardens.

tinues, without regard to the health of

cORDOVA TEAM SHOPPERS
 LOCAL BOYS WITH RUNS

In spite of the drizzling day the Cor, dova and Seward ball teams took the field yesterday to play their scheduled game of ball. Conditions were every thing but compatible for a good exhi- bition. The final score was CoTdova 23: Seward 4. The locals were sadly off in form, the infield leaked, the out fielders could not get near anything the ball was wet and slippery and most of the players were soaked thru Wild pegs to bases were the rule and what runs the visitors did not carr they were made a present of by sand lot ball. The visitors held themselves well in hand; the battery work was good. none of the hitters of the locals being able to connect safely with the ball when hit meant run or two To pass over the fiasco of a game Il can be safely said that Seward was outplayed in every department.

SHARED SUCCESS OF HUSBAND
Louis Pssteur, Great French Scientist,
Always Admitted HIs Wife's
i Part In Achievements.

Louis Pasteur, the great French
scientist who discovered the method
of sterilizing milk without boiling
it, wrought all his wonders after his
marriage, and often said that every
one of his achievements was as much
his wife's as his own. He died at
the age of seventy-three, and 46
years of his life were spent in ideal
happiness with his wife.
His romance began when at TWEEN
ty-seven he went to Strassburg to
accept the professorship of chemistry
at the university. There he met
Mile. Laurent, whose father was con-
nected with the school, and aftes
only months acquaintance he sent
a formal proposal of marriage, say
ing, "All that I possess is good
health, good principles and my posi-
ton at the university. My ambition
is to return to Paris when my scien-
tifc work shall have given me
reputation"
Pasteur's wife's passionate love
for him never faltered, and she never
once demanded that he should give
her any of the time which he de-
cided should be devoted to science.
Her devotion and belief in him we're
of tremendous importance in his
great success.

WEATHER MAN
HAS EASED UP
Fair and Slow Rise in Tenn
perature Predicted For
Wednesday.

The weather man is easing up a
little on the cold spell with which he
favored this section Of the country,
but h moderation has not been as
rapid as many would like. Monday
was the coolest day this winter with
the university weather station re-
cording 33 degrees below zero. This
morning the station registered % de-
grees below zero with the minimum
during the past "a hours, 26 degrees
below zero. -
The official weather forecast for to-
day says that Wednesday will be fair
with a slow rise in temperature.
which means that many who have
been worried by frozen water pipes
and radiators may in time get relief.
Though the cold has been incon-
venient to many no cases Of actual
suffering have been reported. Jani-
tors and plumbers have been unusual
~ busy, and fue dealers report that
business is picking up.
The work of repairing the broken
pipe at the northeast corner of the
court house was started this morning.
This vas caused by the freezing of
the water which flooded a part Of the
street.
