make of the Greenwich Village dance
resorts. The orchestras were too
jazzy, he said: Ill balanced, inclined
to feature soloists who unconsciously
speeded the tempo and caused the
dancers to lapse from graceful figure
steps into less pleasing shufiiing and
body movements.
IF all orchestras reduced the
tempo of their jazz and featured more
waltzes and tangoes," he said. ALI
the suggestive features would be
automatically eliminated. Slower
music and more dancing space would
help elevate dancing to the high
plane we seek, to establish

Worst, Which Sounds Paradoxial
But Really Isn't.

One does not have to touch the
plant to become infected. Some per-
sons are so susceptible that contact
with garments which have brushed
against the plant will cause Infection.
Smoke from burning ivy plants often
carries the poisonous particles. Dust
blown from the leaves Of the plant
also has been known to cause infec-
tion.
Here's More Bad News.
Here is more bad news about the
plant, established by scientific study.
There Is no immunity from the in
lection. Some are less sensitive to
the poison than others, but the per-
son who says he's immune just
hasn't been Intimately enough asso-
ciated with the plant. scientists say.
AT the same time, they will admit
that some individuals are able to
handle it. Their name for the quality
that enables one to do so is luck"
not Immunity" however.

said for it that is good. The dee per
poison ivy gets into one. however, one
finds that there is something good to
be said in connection with it. There
are, it is claimed, almost 200 rem
edies' and cures for it. Some Of
efticacious in some cases and fail in
others.
Hikers Know It's Sting.
Those who go in for picnicking
and hiking on lavish scale have
found some simple RENE dies particu-
larly efficacious.
Among these is gasoline--used az a
preventive or a tirst-aid remedy. Rub
bed on the skin, it has been found an
almost certain preventive. A liberal
application dissolves and removes the
poisonous oil. Quick application is
best, but the remedy is efficient if
used within few hours after irri-
tation of the skin begins.
Ice water is another cure. 1t has
been used effectively in the Army. In
Cooking sodD. applied freely and
continuously. it has effected complete
cures in d few hours.
Buttermilk Also Used.
Buttermilk is said to be a good in
formal remedy. 1t lacks the accessi-
bility of gasoline or ice water, how
ever.
Lead acetate dissolved in alcohol
which dries up the small blisters, is
effe ctive. 1t should be applied gen.
erously and often.
Medical authorities recommend this
standard treatment: Wash the skin
well with strong (brown) soap and
water; pour on d 95 per cent solution
of alcohol 10 dissolve the poisonous
oil Cover the skin with Is soothing
lotion or a bland ointment. Repeat
several times day.
While these remedies are excellent
