THE BILLY WOW vows,

You'll all admit that this war put
the billy WOW vows into everybody.
They tried to make murderers of us
all. You know murder became a
common thing. It has affected
everybody ever since. One of the
remedies is old-fashioned dancing"
While one definition of murder is,
ITO destroy; put an end to-. and in
that sense Henry Ford, we assume,
uses the word, many readers may in
fer that he had in mind the definition
to kill maliciously and criminally.
Some appear to take that view Of the
killing, which is caused by war
fare. though such is not Of general
acceptance.
But how about general acceptance
OF Henry's theory that old-fashioned
dancing will serve as one of the
remedies? 1t should receive un-
animous endorsement from those
who have experienced the delights
Of hoeing down to the inspiring
strains Of Pop Goes the Weasel,
and Nellie Durham is one of their
apostles. A good old-fashioned barn
dance properly conducted ought to
eliminate desire for murder from the
human heart, for the time, provided
the dancers enter into the spirit of it
and in turn the spirit of it enters
into them.

At Gridiron Dinner

Washington, Dec. 12.-(AP)-The
Gridiron Club Of Washington, news

public men and affairs at home and
abroad for the amusement of large
company of notables headed by Pres.

The entertainment had distinctly q
congressional flavor, designed to mt

but in addition to domestic affairs,
the Gridironers found time to have
some fun with the foreign debt sit
uation, the Karolyi case and other
topics of the days news.
The usual distinguished company
of officials, diplomats, business and
industrial captains, men of affairs,
newspaper correspondents and au-
thors enjoyed the fun.
The fun making began almost as
soon as the guests were seated. An
unexpected guest, who professed to
be the Countess Karolyi Of Hungary
and demanded a seat beside Secre-
tary kellogg, who had forbidden her
admittance to the United States,
proved to be Theodore G. Joslin. of
the Boston Transcript, who was be-
ing initiated to the club.

There's Jerry Junco!'
Sure enough, hopping about on the
snow, his slate-gray colored feather

the heroic attempt of his l5-year-ola
sister, Esther, to save him. Porter
Belmer, u, was drowned today When
the thin ice on which he was skat-
ing gave way. When Esther heard
her brother cry for help, she dashed
from the shore, plunged into the
hole where he had gone down, and
seized him by the coat collar. Esther
is strong swimmer, as was Porter,
but the boys clothes weighed him
down so much that he could not
save himself.
The girl hanging onto his coat
collar. scrambled back on the ice,
but she lacked the strength to pull
her brother UP after her. Finally
her fingers became numb and
strengthless, and the boys coat col
lar slipped out of them. She ran
to farm house for help. but the
men who answered her call were
unable to get to the boy. They re-
covered his body after several hours
work.

Jeritza completely captured the au-
