BALLOON DANCE ARRIVES
AT GOTHAM CABARETS

NEW YORK.-There's a new
dance stunt in town It's the bal
loon dance, and it's from dear old
London, don't yer know. It's a bit
Of all right. too.
Last Sunday night 1t was intro
duced at the Rendezvous-one of
Broadway's most exclusive supper
clubs And it made tremendous
hit. C-
A toy balloon is tied to the ankle
of each dancer of the dear unfair
sex, and the idea is to get through
closefitting fox-trot or a toddle with
the balloon still intact. That is,
that's the lady's idea.
The idea of the male dancers is to
break as many balloons as possible
without stepping out Of the dance.
On a crowded floor the balloons have
about as much chance as a SNOWFALL
in-well, warmer place than New
York at present. However, a prize
is offered to the lady who can emerge
from the mazes of~the dance with
her balloon still flying.
Last Sunday night one young lady
at the Rendezvous actually won the
prize. But the popping Of the col
ored spheres reminded one Of the
popping of champagne corl<s.
Anyway, it's a great boon for the
balloon manufacturers. For the
dance floors of the average toddle
sanctuary are so small that the only
way to keep off ones partners bal
loon is to step on her feet-and that
is not very popular with the faif

Japanese Ambassador
Takes Long Vacation

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Bar-
on Kijuro Shidehara, the Japanese
ambassador here, leaves Washington
today for Japan on six months leave
of absence.
Complete freedom from work has
been made necessary by the illness
which overlook him during the linn

was explained, at the japanese en-
bassy here. An operation may also
be required, but this will be decided
when the ambassador gets back to
Japan.
Baron Shidehara will sail from
San Francisco April on the steam

The departure of Ambassador
Shidehara makes it unlikely now

Elaborate Method
For Fancy Suicide
Not So Successful

CHARLESTON, w. IVa.-James
L. Smith, twenty-eight years Of age,
short order cook, was certain" he
would shuttle this mortal coil. But
he failed.
Equipped with a number Of death
dealing instruments, Smith went to
the Virginia street bridge, across
Elk river, tired of life, and he adj
mitted it. He could find no work
and was destitute.
He saturated his clothing with
gasoline and tied D. small rope to
one of the steel supports of the
bridge. The other end he tied around
his neck and took his position on a
narrow railing.
Lighting a piece of paper at his
feet, Smith figured he would be a
burning mass within a minute. With
one hand he swallowed small por-
ton Of anthony, a dangerous poiE-
on. With the other he held a AS
caliber automatic revolver.
AS the poison trickled down his
throat, he shuddered. The gun ex-
ploded Instead of penetrating his
brain, the bullet went wild and sew
cred the rope around his neck.
Meanwhile his clothing caught
fire. The successive shocks caused
him to lose his balance and he tum-
blede into Elk river, human torch.
The sudden immersion in the wa
ter acted as an antidote to the pois-
on and extinguished the burning
clothes. AS Smith came to. the sur
face he was seized with violent con-
vulsions of the stomach. He eject
ed the poison.
Being a good SWIMMER, he sue
ceeded in reaching the shore.
The burns and poison will not
prove fatal, physicians OF st. Fran

By Douglas Board

DOUGLASVILLE, Ca, March 16.
During the regular session of the
county commissioners of roads and
revenue, March z, 1922, a verbal
motion was introduced and seconded
to indorse the proposed S75,000,0O0
bond issue for the completion Of
Georgia's system Of highways. This
motion was approved by a vote of
2 to 1.
Commissioners A. A. Fowler and
G. w. Hembree, who offered and
seconded the above resolution, were
prompted to do so by the urgent
need of this county's being reim-
bursed for it's cost of building the
Bankhead HIGHWAY through it's ter
ritory in order to help relieve the
present financial stringency, not to
mention the many other benefits that
would accrue to the state.

NINETY YEAR-OLD COWBOY
SAYS HE'LL DIE IN SADDLE

= OKANOGAN, Wash.-One of
Americas Oldest cowboys is An
drew Herbeson, ninety years young.
"UncIe Herb" is employed on a
ranch here herding sheep twelve
hours a day and hasn't missed pay
day for forty years, according to Or
void Linnton, his boss.
"Uncle Herb is little, wiry fellow,
baldheaded, with a scattered fuzzy
beard, but does not look the years
he has weathered the old earth. The
boss gives him orders every morning
just where to take the flock for the
day and "Uncle Herb" mounts his
herd pony, sees that his rifle is
strapped to the back of the saddle,
and guides the sheep into the hills or
woods.
The old time herder is toothless, so
he lives on bread and milk, but his
favorite dish is beef stew. l.
g"Getting thrill every day is what
keeps me young" declared the griz-
zIed sheep herder just before leav-
ing for the hills, land I guess them

''When I was a cowboy the In
dams used to keep us fellows in con-
dition and the rust4ers supplied a

hills it's the cougars" said Uncle
Herb, putting at his wheeZy pipe.

GAINESVILLE BOYS
DEATH IS PROBED

GAINESVILLE, Ga, March TO-
Believing that his son, Hoyt Bagwell.
who was found dead in an automo-
bile several nights ago, had been the
victim of foul play, J. H. Bagwell
had the body, which had been buried
at Gambler, disinterred Monday night
and an X-ray examination made of
the head and upper part Of the body
The X-ray photographs were made
by Drs. Welchel and Burns at To-
cal hospital. One picture was made
Of the head and neck and another of
the body from the waist up. No
fractures Of the skull, inner wounds,
or other indications of foul play were
discovered.
It seems that suspicion Of foul play
were first aroused by the fact that
Bagwell's hat was found to be brok-
en- at the brim, while the band and
outer binding were torn, and that
his back was very muddy as though
he had been thrown in the mud. 1t
also developed that Little did not re-
turn with Glaze to where Bagwell
was sitting in the auto, but that
he came on to town, while Glaze and
Ed Carson, whose home is said TO
be In Baltimore and who recently
served a term in the county cha!n-
gang for h0boing, were the ones VINO
found Bagwen, and that they brought
him to the police station before they
discoveredNhe was dead.
During Monday afternoon a rumor
reached the sheriff that some OF
Bagwell's friends intended to eaten
Carson and make him tell what took
place when he and Glaze found Bag
well in the stranded car and he was
placed in Jail for protection.
Tuesday morning some Of the
sheriff's deputies put Carson through
a sweating" process and he is said
to have broken down and cried, tell
ing several different stories OF the
happenings at the car. The dead
mans brother, Hubert BagweH, then
syore out a warrant against both
Glaze and Carson, charging murder.
Glaze was arrested and put in jail,
later taken to a hotel, where he is
being guarded by Will Crow from the
sheriff's office.
Ottie Pickett, Glaze's partner in
the taxi business, has gone to Clarks-
vile, where Judge Jones is holding
court, to have the judge fir bond
for Glaze.
It is said that Mr.. Bagwen Will car
ry the stomach>of his dead spn to
