PROSPERITY NOT' WHERE'S ANOTHER TO bE SHORT LIVED VO[STEAD n PASS MELLON DECLARES ANT DANCE LAW?
No Evidence of Serious InfIa- ton Is Found By
 Secretary

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Rusiness men. turning anxious eyes toward the rather rapidly rising barometer of prosperity, are writing to Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon, asking him whether he believes the present boom will result in depression like that of 1921 with it's buyers strike. "
 Secretary Mellon has answered all these inquiries with the statement that there is no indication of any such repetition, and that he has found no evidences of a serious infla- tion. He has told those who seemed particularly disturbed that he can see nothing that should alarm them in the present tide of prosperity.
 Treasury officials pointed out Mon day in this connection that there is a natural limit to business expansion provided by limitations in amount of la Dor and in the capacity of railroads to ship goods. Another assurance given to ease the anxiety of worried business men, who remember very distinctly the rapid jump in p.->es in 1920 was that the price rise has not been so marked in the present busi- ness increase. but has been more gradual and gives evidence of greater stability
 Warn Against Imitation.
 The uneasiness displayed by busi- ness men has been accentuated by recent warnings issued by leaders of industry that the present increased prosperity must not lead to the dis astrous imitation which followed the business boom in 1921. The latest warning comes from Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman of the Be-ehem Steel corporation, who urged business men to keep an even keel and steer a straight course"
 While treasury officials always re- frain from predictions of any kind. it was said that there has been noth- ing observed that should lead busl- ness men to fear any such condition as tied up industry generally in 1921 and led to heavy losses in many lines of business.
 Suggestions have been made in many quarters that rediscount rates should be raised in order to prevent any undue eXpanion.

 Increase Normal.
 While it was indicated at the treas ury that such a step might be taken later if conditions justified. it was emphatically stated that no consider alton whatever had been given to any

States No Longer Able To Cope With Terpsichorean
 Problem

NEN 1Ohht Apf1l IO.-N nat With the long distance now being home brewed and hootlegged between states, won't some kindly Volstedian gent with the courage of his convic- tions please advocate a constitutional amendment to stop the non -stoppers? ?
 This jazzotnania has become 8 mat fer for the nation alone To handle. New York and New Jersey clearly demonstrated Monday that mere state sovereignty is powerless to cope with the craze that has already driven one Texas girl to dance nearly amuck after 43 hours. two sweet and sweaty young things to get married after 36 hours, and the whole coun- try to lose it's brains in it's feet.
 The only result accomplished by the Manhattan and Jersey police was to force a squad of would-be record wreckers from fivepenny dance hall into the furtive secrecy of second -sctory apartment Somewhere in Harlem" There the dancers were home brewing their tired fetlocks at midnight, with prospect of going until Tuesday afternoon for new record unless police interfered.

 Would Leave State.
 In case they were found out, they planned to smuggIe themselves-still dancing-in a moving van mto Con- recticut. where perhaps the authori- ties might be in sympathy ws>n their nonstop ideals.
 Miss Williams wore a corset dur ing the entire time.
 She is , feet inches in height, 1T I ite A- Tg,. tions would closely approximate those of the modern perfect woman.

 Miss Madeline Gottschick, who en- tered the clubs marathon Saturday afternoon at o'clock. has been on the floor the longest.

Miss Gottschick Ias proclaimed in good condition byHa physician who examines here frequently.

 Seven women and six men. are glid- ing over the tile floor of the club.
 In one of the dancing academies is q masked man of mystery" and d woman, who started dancing at ? D. m. Sunday. The man is masked to conceal his identity.
 Four of l7 girls who entered the contest in the other dancing acad- emies dropped out today, leaving 13 women and men on the floor
