Oh, So Gay, WiN Be The
 ChiLdren's s Dances Today

then will be the dancing of "The Blue Danube" by a group of little girls. whose arms will portray the graceful movements of the waves. And you must not miss for the world a CO ,iettish number called "One Rainy Day" which is to be in- terpreted by little Violet Nappi and Marion Kaufman. The story is that pretty little miss is inclined to be bit of flirt. She losses her pretty head when debonair and hand some youth comes along.
 Finally it begins to rain. The youth, procuring an umbrella, vows that he will not shield Miss Lady from the showers unless he wins payment from her in the form of 8 kiss. She refuses, but fate sending a heavy downpour. and her heart being already very much set in the youths direction, she coquettishly relents and the big parasol insures privacy from what might easily have become a "poky-nose" audience.
 There will be solo dancing so beau tiful by Amy Fox and by Mildred and Hazel Pierce. Both the latter chill dren are quite wonderful toe dancers. and one of the prettiest things to be seen will be their work; also that of a group of three in "Alborado." an interpretive dance. Amy Fox, Evelyn Cooper and Rosalind Swigart will give the Alborado. Little Barbara Cohn has a clever polka and one of the little, little babies-Jean Loyd-- will interpret Mary Had a Little Lamb.'
 PayInwa Dance
 Miss Lucille Smith does an exqui site interlude One number is a scene dansant" danced by the Paw Iowa company, when it was in Bir- mingham some time ago. This num- Der is called "columbine and Harle- quin.s' A magnificent thing will be one of Alexis Kosloff's dances, set to Rubenstein's Romance"
 No one who has never watched a dancing, school can appreciate the vast amount of work and beauty to be seen if only you drop in for an hour. You wonder how children are able to be so clever, and dancing, which seems a simple thing. maybe, to you, gathers new significance as babies sway to quite technical French and Italian terms of speech. There has been great fight lately on the subject of whether young people shall dance-but after an hour spent where the difficult work Is going on. you realize that it is one of the most intricate arts. and that those who learn it.the right way are really gaining education into higher forms of artistic conceptions. The play days in dancing come after awhile, and when one is grown-up, but when you are attempting to move joyously around on one toe, you'd better look sharp or the floor will have you!

C|WTANS DENOUNCE ATTACK ONDOWL|NG
sPreSident Lawson Commend ed for Offering First Re-
 ward in Resolution

Declaring that the eyes of the nation are turned on Birmingham as result of the attack on Dr. J. D. Dow ling, city and county health officer, the Civitan club in resolutions passed yesterday called upon every citizen to aid in the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.
 The resolutions adopted commend President Reid Lawson for offering the first reward for the arrest of the assailants are as follows:
 Resolved, by the Civitan club of Birmingham, that we denounce the cowardly assault upon pr. J. D. Dow ling, city and county health officer, federal official, and a member of this organization, committed by band of ruffians who. encouraged by the fact that II or more previous assaults of this character have gone unpunished. ran roughshod upon the constitution and laws of this republic and struck at the very foundation of civilization
 Resolved further, that this club comments and ratifies the action ot President Reid Lawson In offering the first reward for evidence leading tp the capture or conviction of the guilty parties in this outrage.
 We feel that there was but one clear call that went up from this foul deed, and that was for every citizen worthy of the name to rush to the defense of law and order and the pursuit of these arch fiends.
 The eyes ofthe nation are upon this city in this crisis and the issue is plain as to whether mob violence or the security of person is to obtain.
 The security of life and limb and the right of trial by orderly process are higher than the security of prop erty. We hereby express our earnest hope that every good citizen will unite in the effort to run down these vicious enemies of society.

They will see dancers out of line, yet craning necks and extending arms and feet in order to acquire the grace of body and boise of position so neces- sary in present-day manners. Ex- ercises on the bars will be shown, movements of body and arms. conn binations. and finished dancers. And it will come home to you how. with each little movement done again and again 1t finally becomes second na- ture for dancers to adopt pretty pastures.
 Over and over MT. and Mrs. Miles rehearsed their classes yesterday that all might be Just the pink of perfection today.
 There will be even barefoot dances with very little folk.
 In the junior and senior ballet class about 24 pupils will take part. And, in the second scene, oh. how proficient we have become now in heeling and toeing and curveting and pirouetting! This is to be called the garden scene, and finished groups will put on solo, couple, and trio featurea. Then there will be groups (from the beginners and ju- nior classes) in general dancing, 20 babies being in one lovely numb Der, which will be Bye Baby Bunting stunt.

Copper Market Improved.

Marked Improvement In the market
for copper metal was reported yesterday
for the first time in weeks. The price
for March and April domestic shipment
was quoted at 13c. delivered. with IL &c.
to 13c. for metal set alongside ship at
New York. The demand for copper was
reported as much better. In February
foreign and domestic sales were 100000
900 pounds for American producers, In
contrast TO 65.o00.000 in January and
lis. 1000, 900 In December. Although most
OF the February metal was for domestic
II was said III trade circles
that buyers had not anticipated their
wants 70 any extent and that most Of
those purchases had represented actual
and immediate needs. Following yes
tcrday's meeting OF the Utah Copper
Company, In which It's regular quarterly
dividend OF 90 cents was declared,
Charles Hayden, its chairman. said that
foreign demand for copper metal had
shown decided Improvement in the last
ten days. When the copper market was
broken by few producers fortnight
ago to 12&c., several larger companies
declared that they would not sell at that
figure and have consistently refused to
do SO. IL is believed that that attitude
has had much to do with the return to
10 cents.

Reactionary at the Close.

In the last hours OF yesterdays trading
the market gave signs for the first time
OF being somewhat tired after an ad-
vance of weeks. The reactionary ten
dency of the last few minutes was not
checked as easily as 1t had been earlier
in the day or on preceding days, and
traders became heartened to sell more
stocks. The result was decidedly ir-
regular close. with many stocks jump
ing UP and down rather wildly. Chand-
Ter, for instance, leader Of the market
for the last week. declined on Its last
sale OF only 100 shares from 7415 to 73.A.
On the floor Of the exchange 1t was
said that telephone clerks, just q minute
or two before the closing gong rang,
were running on to the floor with IN
Vulnerable selling orders from their Of
fices and that, with the sudden influx
Of orders and the short time available
before the close. it was impossible for
specialists and other brokers to attempt
to make anything like an orderly mar
ket in the leaders. A great deal Of
profit taking seemed to have been ac-
complished during the day and for a
greater part OF the time the market
withstood it we'll. In fact, more than
dozen stocks, including Mexican Petro-
Ieum, United States Rubber. Peoria and
Eastern, Chandler, Jewel Tea, Punta
A'.gre Sugar. Public Service Corpora
tion, &C., made new high marks for this
year.

Missouri Pacific.

Resumption OF dividend payments on
the Missouri Pacific Railways preferred
stock Is unlikely soon. according to in
terests close to the company. BY July
/ the accumulation of unpaid disburse-
ments on the 81 100000 Of It's preferred
stock will amount to $14,S60. .020. or 20 per
cent Tho company's voting trust will
expire on April / and It's annual meet
ing will be on May 8. In certain quar-
ters It is believed that the passage Of
the road into the hands OF its share
holders may permit the latter to exert
direct pressure for tho payment OF
something on its preferred stock. No
meetings Of it's directors are scheduled
for the near future, although such meet
ings may be called for any time. In
cluding settlements with the Govern
nent in 1921. the company has enough
to meet Its 17.5 per cent. preferred stock
accumulations to December 81. with
margin to spare for Its common stock.

also recorded further gains owing to inn
provement in its earnings and financial

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Reaction I'm Exchange.

The sharpest reaction in foreign ex-
change since the upward movement Of
the pound sterling Indicated that II
would reach soon the $3.50 mark oc-
-curred yesterday and yet foreign ex-
change experts styled the drop as per-
fectIy normal and without significance
Il is possible that the political troubles
faced by Lloyd George had something
to do with the decline. but dealers
pointed out that the market has been
at all times narrow affair and that
1t is still two sided The reaction is
believed to be just temporary devel-
opment caused by technical consider
ations alone. Some of the declines yes
