EVERYBODY IS DANCING
THANKS TO BLUE LAWS

Blue laws and restrictions are the

So believes Wilma Gilmore, who
conducts one of the most exclusive
dancing schools in New York.
1.-THE more ~repressions forced
upon people," she says, 'the greater
the need for some form of express
sion.
You Have to Learn
Dancing always is an emotional
outlet for individuals and nations"
But because a whole country Is
dance mad, Miss Gilmore adds, it
doesn't necessarily follow that the
people are improving as dancers;
quite the contrary.

That's why we have exaggerated
motions, awkward positions-little
real grace and beauty.
Confession Of Ignorance
"Just as well expect to play a
piano without lessons or paint a
picture without instruction as to
dance well with nc knowledge Of
what you're trying to do.

College Girls Vote
On Ten Hour Day

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-With the
eight-hour day for ONE the pre-
dominant cry in industry, a ten-hour
day for college women, six days a
week, is the proposal just announced
for Barnard College by the board of
student presidents. This organiza-
ton, after long study, has presented
the proposal to the undergraduate
body for ratification or disapproval.
The plan proposes a new point
system to regulate extra-curricular
activity. The Barnard girls twenty
four hours, it proposes, shall be
divided as follows: Eight hours for
sleep, two hours for exercise, four
hours for meals and incidental dut-
les at home and ten hours for col
lege activities.
It is explained that the new
method of extra-curricular activities
would be regulated by a point system
in which each point would stand for
three hours of work. No student of
Barnard, under the system, would
be permitted to carry more than an
aggregate of twenty points a seme-
ster of academic and extra-curricu-
lar work combined.
The plan Is now up to the student
body.

DRONE OR PUSHER


The human beings in the world can be divided into two
tlasses-the useless and the useful-tthe drones and the push
es. Which are youf
The drones are the nonentties in lfe-the people who
have no purpose, no aim, no goal in life-they exist but do not
live. Of what use do they make of their time except to kill
it, Of what use do they make Of ambition except to stifle it?
Of what do they make of opportunity except to neglect it? Or
what use do they make of life except to waste it? They are
destroyers, living parasites, eking out their miserable existence
from either the bounty or the poverty of another.
But the pushers, the useful workers, they are the human
dynamos-they generate power-the power of ambition, the
stimulus of enthusiasm and the cheer of optimism.
And who are these pushers? They are the self-sacrificng,
patien&, unknown mothers Of the universe. Those who, in their
quiet, obscure and busy corner are moulding and perfectlng
the future generation. They are the ~plodding, steady, hard
working fathers. Those who, in the faithful performance Of
their daily task, are providing for the future generation.
They are the loyal and conscientious business men and
business women Of the day. The worker who gives a fair days
work for a fair days wage.
They are all of us who are doing our bit, our best, both
for ourselves and for others, in our own particular niche, how
ever prominent or obscure it may be.
Are you a pusher or a droneF Are you useful or uselessf

Of keeping the baby awake during
the later part Of the afternoon IN the
hopes that he would be SO tired his
rest at night would be unbroken.
Usually she finds that he sleeps
worse than ever. The well baby will
sleep almost the whole time between
each feeding and his wakeful periods

his bath time.
