COUNTRY STORE
 DANCE TO BE
 UNIQUE AFFAIR


 lat the Ocean View Hotel on
 Ground Hog Day, February t2, are going forward rapidly under the direction of Manager
 c. M. Ridley and a decidedly
 enjoyable evening is in store for those attending, judging from the program outlined by
 MT. Ridley to the Miner.
 /" The country store dance," said MT. Ridley, lis a distinct | ly American amusement and
 had its origin in the country districts years ago when there were few towns of any size in |the country and a majority of the communities consisted of
 a general store, a blacksmith shop and a few dozen small dwellings Save here and there few towns boasted a hall large enough to hold a dance in, so the country store usually be- came a center for such social gatherings. The country folks would start by sending hay wagons in every direction to gather up the neighbors. The wagons would then proceed to the largest of the country stores in the locality, picking up all the folks along the road and not giving them time to dress Or make other than the most needful preparations. Thus the men naturally ap- peared at the dance in overaIls and their everyday straw hats and the ladies in their ging- hams and sun-bonnets. On the road they would pick up the fiddler, who was usually no better prepared in the matter of dress than the rest of them.
 On arriving at the store they would pile everything on and behind the counter to clear the floor, which would then be marked with chalk in a series of two foot squares. If there were fifty couples present there would be fifty squares, the number being in propor- ton to the number of dancers.
 An equal number of squares Of paper, each numbered to correspond with the number of squares on the floor, would then be placed in a hat and the dance would start. There was no admission charged but the men-folks would "chip-in" and buy a variety of articles, such as ham, bacon, potatoes, canned goods. candy and other things for prizes. In addition many of the farmers would bring live chickens, ducks and other farm products. In the middle of the quadrille, the popular dance of those days and usually the only one that every one could dance, the master of ceremonies would stop the dancers with a shout, Every one on a number" The dancers would then scramble hastily onto one of the num- bered squares on the floor,
 while the hat containing the numbered pieces of paper was passed around so that all could draw a number. If you were lucky enough to draw a slip bearing a number correspond- Bring your job printing to

continued policy. with retention in

for a reasonable length of time. was
the only way to stop the loss and
maintain an established zoning policy.
Mr.. Hoover urged the delegates TO
give Congress and the civic bodies
working toward WaShingtonS de-
velopment their help.
Not only in private construction
does the city fall behind, but FIVE
great government departments now
need permanent homes which will
house all their activities under one
roof. The Department of Commerce.
for example, he said, is scattered
about the city in fourteen different
buildings, while other departments
are in a worse state.
Mr. Hoover added that he believed
the proper growth of washington
could be left to the sense of proprie-
torship of the American people.
Declares Parks Inadequate.
Declaring that Washington is
backward in park development and
comparing. this city with Chicago,
where park development has kept
pace with the city's growth, John
Barton Payne said a lack of continu-
Gus city government was Responsible
for many of Washinston's shortcom-

memory the chairman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross said "a government in
washington that had responsibility
or infiue nee. He added that owing to
the lack of continuous plan for the
federal capital. there ain't no Wash
ington plan any more"
I'VE need some sort of city gov
ernment here that will take advan-
tage of the great natural possibili-
ties for a capital unequaled in
splendor anywhere in the world"
Judge Payne declared.
The Red Cross head pictured a
great park development as far north
as Great Falls along both sides of

Luck of continuity in office of Dis
trict government officials is the main
factor retarding many features con-
Iributive to the growth of Washing
ton along orderly lines. Civic de-
velopment here must needs wait
sometimes on political expediency,
with Congress acting as the city
council through which all District
measures must pass.
These major features were outlined
by national leaders in civic develop
ment, familiar with Washington and
its needs, at dinner last night, con-
GLIDING the celebration of the twen-
rieth anniversary of the American
Civic Association at the City Club.
Speakers included Secretary of Com
merce Hoover. Senator La Heisler Ball,
John Barton Payne, chairman of the
American Red Cross; Frederick A.
DsIano chairman of the Washington
committee of 100 on the Federal city;
Senator George Wharton Pepper and
y. Horace MacFarland, president of
the association.
Backs One-Man Rule.
Senator Ball told the association
that although he was satisfied the
present and past boards of District
Commissioners had done the best they
could under the present 'unsatisfac-
tory" form of government, he believed
in one-man government for the city.
Go out and select the best eXecu-
tive you can find and hire him to pre-
side over the affairs of the city, SEN
ator Ball declared.
Senator Ball said he believed the
other commissions functioning with
the present board OF commissioners
should be separate and distinct or
@anizationS with separate members.
This, he said. should particularly be
true of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion, which he declared to be a most
important body. Senator Ball added
that Washington should be the best
governed city in the world. model
in civic development for other cities
and Il model in government to mu-
inequalities of other nations. 1t should
be strictly a city for federal en-
ployeS, he said.
BIames Wartime Haste.
Senator Ball said the Washington
plan had been lost sight of in the
haste of wartime preparations in
Washington, and that wartime eX-
tension was the real reason for lack
of orderly development here. He
added that the President of the United
States is in reality the mayor OF
Washington and should not be bur
ity. even the Federal Capital.
Secretary Hoover declared that
Washington is an orphan city," need
ing the moral support of the entire
country in its development. He said
proper zoning lies at the bottom OF
the entire problem of the city, de-
cIaring that in the last ten years, and
even in the last three years. the city
has gone backward in maintenance
Of its zoning plan.
Cites War Buildings.
AIr. Hoover recited the growth Of
the 'unsightly buildings" erected il
many unsuitable places during the
war. undermining the entire spirit
of the city beautiful.
The Commerce Secretary took a. firr
stand against business encroachmeni

ltshment of business houses along Con

should never have been permitted. He

Urges Pnrk commission.
Mr.. Payne urged upon the. members
OF the association the necessity of
pushing a bin now in the Senate for
creation of g park commission. in
Washington, declaring that the time
is now ripe for park development in
the city.
Senator Pepper said leaders in
Congress united in the present ses-
sion on three major measures for
beautification of Washington. These
he sad, were as follows: Condemna-
tion OF the 'unsightly Buildings on the
Union station plaza, relocation of the
Botanic Gardens to permit free use
of the Mall from the Capitol to the
Lincoln Memorial and location. of the
Memorial Bridge across the Potomac
river between the Highway and Key
bridges.

ters that it often overIooks and pass

get consideration of the measures you
want considered"
Mr.. Delano read excerpts from the
preliminary report of the Washington
committee of 100 on the federal city,
outlining the measures which the
committee believes merit immediate
consideration. Mr.. MacFarland OUT
lined the general plan for co opera
tion bv the American Civic Associa-
tion with Congress and the several
organizations behind the Washington
plan.
EARLIER in the day the entire group
of delegates visited the White. Hause
where they met the President, visit
ed the Pan American Union, where
they listened to 4 greeting by DIR. l..
S. Rowe. the director. and took an
automobile tour about the city, Wis

A visitor from California went to
Durward Mckinney, assistant clerk of

a fishing license. When he found out
what it cost, he stuck his money back
in his pocket and said he was going
