BALLROOM DANCES.
La Sondunga, another variety of the
terpsichorean art, originating on the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is closely al
lied to La Tehuana. Only two girls
participate in this dance and the steps
are taken back to back. While not as
graceful as the other dances, it is in
teresting when we'll performed.
III Fado, also girls dance, is pure
~ Mexican in type, resembling in step
and cadence FL Jarabe Tapetio, and is
danced in a similar manner.
La DANA, the dance of Vera Cruz,
and Ell DAMON, also from Southern
Mexico. are ballroom dances. No
Mexican "baile' is complete without
them. El DAMON is strictly a ball
room dance in which couples scarcely
move about on the floor. In fact III

by expert dancers in a space the size

are the national dances of the lower

WHERE LIQUOR FLOWS
 WITHOUT STINT

X New Britain attorney who re- turned from Florida where he went on business trip and not primarily for pleasure, reports that the prohi- bition law in that state is enforced in a remarkable manner. He said liquor was being sold openly that nobody needed to go thirsty who had the price and of course in Florida everybody has money to burn - and that bartering and trade in elicit viands goes on with the monotonous momentum of real estate transactions. The stuff usual- ly bought and sold in the open market places is declared to be the real thing. direct from Bermuda Cuba and other contiguous princt- palitics of liquor refinement. All of which. he says, he saw with his own eyes. In Miami where Blll Bryan holds forth, conditions were worse" than in other towns.
 Evidently Florida is attempting to draw population by other means than by advertising its perpetual sunshine or its refusal to enact lh- heritance taxes. And in a state that was "dry" before the 18th Amend mcnt saw the light of day, it must he doing very well, thank you.
 Prohibition in Florida, like pro- hjbition in some other well known commonwealths. seems to be ne- signed not so much to prohibit as l to deter. And ill Florida there IS ! little of either.

LARGER SWIMMING POOL
 FOR LITTLE COST

At fraction of the original cost, the swimming pool in Willow Brook park can be doubled according to the mayor. Chairman Hall of the board of finance and taxation, and the park commission
 To double the capacity would cost $500. This appropriation, for such an admirable purpose, should be passed unanimously by the Common Council when it is placed before that body.

disappointment before they start" declared Senator Alice r, Merritt of Hartford during an address in Waterbury.
 From this we judge that the same rule does not apply to women as is applied to men, For men enter pub lie life with u reasonable supply of quite human selfish ends, for the possession of which they are not necessarily. disappointed,
 But it makes a difference us to what particular party the ambitious person plays -ith, Senator Merritt ran and was "t~ated on the Ropubli- can ticket. If sne had had an equal amount Of ambition supermposcd upon the Democratic ticket in Con necticut she would not have landed the job.
 The main idea about being in politics is to be elected. The sup position that there is no ambition connected with !hc proceedings is not borne out by the facts. There has to be ambition as well as prin- clple. In theory the office should seek the man -- or woman -- but somehow the office usually also finds the ambitious person.

WHAT THE CLOCK SAYS,
 PLUS AN HOUR

The Waterbury Democrat IS try Ing to prove that daylight saving time is illegal. This curious disposi- ton is based upon the words in the public acts of 1923 which eAtah- hshes the standard of time for the 18th meridian west of Greenwich as the standard Of time for this state which. also provides no timeplece that lis calculated or intended to furnish time to the general public" shall give anything but standard time.
 This law says nothing about changing the tim c of private watches or clocks to suit the 'n- d,yidual owner The Legislature III rg solomon-likc wisdom didn't go that far, probably thinking such a law could not be enforced
 The effect of the law has been to make mental adding machines of US all.

A DEED THAT AIDS FRACTIONAL STRIFE

Mayor Paoncssa takes the proper stand when he declares there will be no party reprisals against the action of the maiorit.' in the Con- mon Council in sczing all chair manships of standing committees. Two wrongs do not make a right; and it is easier to rectify one wrong than two of them
 There is no doubt as to where the public stands on the question. It doesn't like the principle of the thing; and the public still has due regard for principle. even if poli- ticians may at times lack such ap- rrcciation.
 William H. Judd, mouthpiecc Of the Republican party in the city, can be relied upon to do his full share to create dissension in the party through conntcnancing such actions. He not only appointed the nominating committee, but defended It's nominations,
 The hard feeling that las been created by this political mancuvcl is not entirely controversy be- tween the minority and the major ity in the Common Council. It i' also a question between factions within the dominant party; and l is deed that will intensity sucl tsctional differences,

 Washington, April %. V After n quarter of u century in state and federal tribunals in Chicago, the famous Deestrict of Lake Michigan ease is coming up to the United States supreme court on appeal, It dates 80 far back that not many people remember just-how 1t start cd.

 The Deestriet is a big trpct--a good many acres-of made land" on Chicago's north shore lake front. At first 1t was just the North Side city dump, A North sido as big as Chicagos has a lot Of refuse to diss pose of. This dump grew fast. away, out into the lake, 10 or 15 minutess walk. and about twice that far north and south from the foot of East Chi- cago avenue--a dozen or so of city blocks, It consisted of cinders, old bottles, bones, tin cans, all sorts Of juns. It wasn't an attractive spot and Chicago in those days wasn't as crowded as it Is now, so the land wasn't needed immediately and it seems to have occurred to nobody to claim it until, unexpectedly. Cap" George Wellington Streeter did. Then everybody wanted it :.
 The ''cap" has been described as a kIuatter. Nothing so unromantic! He was master of a barge on Lake Michigan. One night his shallop broke loose from the tug which was towing it through a storm toward the shelter of the breakwater at the mouth of the Chicago river. and the waves dashed if up on the dump. He claimed the coast on which he had been cast, ''by right of discovery, named 1t the ''Deestrict of Lake Michigan" and hung onto 1t fol years 4
 His case was better than it looked at first glance. The Deestriet val bounded on it's landward side by | roadway, which originally had TUT right along the lake front, so tha there were no actually abuttint property owners. It really lay off al

by itsef and the rcap', was tho Ars person who ever had laid claim to II. IA score of interests immediately took steps toward evietlng him. The "cap,it full of fight, organized an army Of about dozen men-armed with rifles too--to defend himself, The East Chicago avenue police came on tho jump. also with Win chesters. But on second thoughts, there wasn't much the police could do. If tho land belonged to the "cap"--and nobody was in position to say 1t didn't-he was entitled to keep his trespassers off.
 ~ l
 The affair finally resolved atself into a legal contest, but with the threat of an armed clash always looming in the background, like the Balka.1 menace in a Chicago setting, Presently the ''cap" began quit claiming little patches in the nees- irict for settlers to build shacks on. Thus arose the city of streeterville-- population 200 or 800. The courts were slow. Rival claimants against the "cap" grew impatient. At length they decided to oust him at all costs Once out, they thought they could keep him out. So one night strong party of claim jump CTS descended on the Deestrict. They found the "cap's" army right onthe job, Not only were they repulsed-- one invader was killed.
  That was the "cap's" undoing. He got a year in the penitentiary. Talk ing advantage of his enforced ab- sence, the opposition gained pos session of the Deestfict. The "cap" never recovered 1t. He kept on suing, however, until his death in 1921. Now his widow is pushing the case.
 The Deestrict today Is worth 31mil- lions and the buildings on its are worth millions more. And there must be big money behind .the "cap's" widow, as there must have been behind the 'cap." It costs to litigate for 25 years. AS to the is- sues at stake, they're plenty import ant enough to be worthy the atten- ton even of the United States.
