the American Society of Teachers
Of Dancing. To this end prizes of
500. $50 and $25 were announced
at the opening of the society's
forty-sixth annual convention in
the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria
With the fox trot and it's varia-
tons holding forth almost exclu-
sively on the dance floor nowadays,
the society is also out for a new
dance rhythm and is willing to
pay $500 to its inventor, according
to President r. w. Vizay, of Mil.
waukee. u
The one-step, two-step, half.step
and what-not steps are Officially in
the discard, and, Mr.. Vizay says,
somebody should be able to devise
satisfactory five-step or some
other step to relieve the "monotony.
The tendency, so far as dancing
teaching Is concerned, is toward
simpler steps. interspersed with
glides and rests" in which the
dancers come to a complete stop
for an instant. According to express
sions at the meeting, there is to
be no wiggling or movement Of
the body during the rests" If the
teachers have their way.
1t was pointed out, however, that
the tendency among teachers does
not always control the public tend
ency. Conservative dances will often
be distorted, 1t was said.
Less noise and more melody"
was the keynote OF the convention
sounded by Louis H. Chalif, of
New York. first vice president, who
said the society would make
valiant effort this winter to restore
the waltz to it's popularity as
queen of the dances" -
Pleas For Better Music.
Mr.. Chalif made a plea for better
music, saying that composers and
dance orchestras could do more to
purify the dance than could be ac-
complished by legislation.
To prepare themselves for the
waltz campaign, teachers from all
parts of the country practiced sew
eral hours under the, direction OF
w. p. Rivers, of Brooklyn, who
introduced three Of his waltz crea-

Another dance which win be demon
strated WIN be the ''Flapper's Fox

The Chief Executives letter was
IN answer to a query sent by
Newmyer In which he asked how
newspapers can best serve the
Federal Government at this time"
Your very kind message and the
general assurances which it con-
tains, of support on the part or
the newspapers of your association
has been received. Every newspa-
per can be very helpful in its sup
port of the Government whether II
be State or national. Fundamentally
this means always making the
authority Of the law supreme, II
means undivided allegiance to the
Constitution and unhesitating obedi-
ence to legislative action made IN
accordance with its provisions.
Constructive criticism is always
helpful: 1t keeps institutions from
becoming fossilized and falling into
decay. But constructive criticism
does not accomplish its purpose
merely by pointing out what is
evil. It must not fail to direct at
tention, with more emphasis, to
what is good. Our institutions, our
