Arizona Pioneers Will
Gather Here in Fifth
Annual Reunion

Pioneers of Arizona, the state
which in the past few years has ad-
vanced from the position of 'baby
state" to an advanced rank in the sis
terhood of states, will gather together
in Phoenix on Friday and Saturday,
April II and IS, for the fifth Annual
Pioneers Reunion.
Old timers, men and women who
have witnessed the growth of the
great commonwealth and have helped
its advance in the years when life
mean struggle, want and sometimes
desperation, will assemble again to
exchange "reminiscences of the "early
days" and to greet again old friends.
The ranks of the pioneers are thin
ming yearly, but there are still thou
sands who have spent the greater por-
ton of their lives in Arizona and have
watched barren wastes of cactus BIOS
som into the fertile areas of today.

and old have proved beyond cavil
their value as a deterrent of crime
and also as a factor in the devel-
opment of healthy and right think
ing citizenty." The development of
the Negro citizen of the future, he
points out, depends primarily upon
the use which the Negro child is
enabled to make of his leisure hours.
DR.. Scott praises the programs of
community recreation for colored
people which have been organized
with the assistance of the Bureau
of Colored Work of Community Ser
vice, which is under the direction
of Ernest T. Attwell. A total of 17S
supervised Fairgrounds for colored
children are reported by eighty-nine
cities. he states, while forty-two
cities report community centers for
colored adults.
In the same issue of The Play
ground, T. S. Settle, District Repre-
sentative Of the Playground and Re-
creation Association of America, ex-
plains the methods which have been
used in organizing community recre-
alton among colored people. He tells
of the work in Greenville and
Orangeburg, S. c., where prominent
white citizens have become inter
estetd in helping the colored people
to have opportunities for wholesome
recreation. Colored leaders have
been trained and put in charge of
these activities.

More Fairgrounds
For COlOred Youth
Uurgent Need, Ayers

Not Jack Johnson, but Sol Butler,
Ed Gourdin and other colored Olym-
pic athletes are now held up to col
ored boys as an ideal to be emulst-
ed, states DR.. Emmett J. Scott, Sec.
retary Treasurer of Howard Univer.
sity, in an article Leisure Time and
the Colored Citizen" which appears
in recent number of the Play
ground, the magazine of the Play
ground and Recreation Association
of America. DR.. Scott says. with
the desire of the colored people for
healthy recreation and also the de-
sire and ambition to achieve some
physical prominence, we think we
have somewhat diverted the children
from the perverted ideal which all
the boys had when Jack Johnson
won the heavyweight championship
of the world and they all wanted to
be pugilists."
The great need for more play
grounds and community recreation
leaders among the colored people
of America is eloquently expressed
by DR.. Scott. He says, "The alarm
ingly high rate of Negro crimes is
as much a condemnation of the com
munity in which it exists as of the
offending Negroes themselves. Com

1t is in honor of these old timers
whose personal records correspond
precisely with the splendid history OF
Arizona, that the annual reunion has
been ARRANGED and this event has
grown each year in interest until it is
the outstanding event of its kind.
Already the program committee is
busy formulating plans for the re-
ception, entertainment and care of
those citizens who will come to Phoe-
nix this month Started five years
ago, to honor the memory of the real
pioneers and to provide a place where
they might assemble and live over
again the thoughts, words and heroic
deeds of yeteryear, the reunion bids
fair this year to outshine every previ-
Gus occasion.
Every feature of the program will
recall some topic of an earlier day.
The coming event is primarily for the
pioneers and every effort has been
made to make of the occasion real
ity. Old fashioned fun and entertain
ment, dear to the hearts of the trail
blazers. will be furnished in abund-
ance, to recall the doings of 35 years
ago and longer.
The feature of the affair will be a
genuine, old fashioned barbecue din
der, such a dinner as was a common
affair of the early days. The service
of one of the most skillful barbecue
chefs in the southwest has been Sc
cured, because this feature of the re-
union will be most important.
Charles NJ. Clark of Miami, presi-
dent of the Arizona Pioneers Associa-
tion, has been touring the state re-
Gently in behalf of the fifth annual
reunion and states that he has found
the greatest interest in all sections of
Arizona. His observations, he has
stated, lead him to believe that the
coming affair will be far the most
brilliant and successful which has yet
been given.
One of the features of this years
! reunion will be the display of relics
of pioneer days. Old swords, pots
kettles and numerous photographs de
picting actual scenes of long ago, will
be prominently displayed where pi
oneers can view them. Mr.. Clark is
gathering these relics from all over
the state.
There is only one qualification for
membership in the Pioneers Associa-
tion and that is every pioneer attend
ing the affair must have been a resi-
dent of the state 35 years If he car
claim that many years as a resident
he is admitted without question tc
the association.
For five years The Arizona Repub-
lican has sponsored the annual re-
union and has received the pioneers

New Dances in Paris
Really Sensational
Now Coming to u. S.

PARIS, France-Dance fans are
promised something else to worry
about as the "Jimmsha" and the
"Huppa-Huppa" are reported on theiI
way direct from Paris to make theiI
debut in the United States. These
were the dances that won highest
approval at the International Dane
ing Masters Congress held in Paris
Americans and Asiatics, Austrians
Englishmen, Belgians, Germans,
Italians, Greeks and Brazilians-
thirteen nations in all, have been
taking part in the exchange of opin-
ion which is to bring about a change
in dance steps. Their first care was
to revise the fashionable dances of
the day and then to polish up and
improve in some details the half a
dozen steps to which the public re-
mains faithful
One delegation, that of Roumania,
was even invested with an official
mission from it's government to
draw up sort of dancing code,
making every dance the same wheth-
er it be danced in Milan or Paris,
Copenhagen or Bucharest. A rather
heated debate followed the discus
sion of the rules of the tango, the
German delegates refusing to sub
scribe to the 'pas croise," otherwise
known as the Apache strangle hold.
But all agreed that the dancers must
be at very close quarters-as close
as possible, in fact-so that they
will sense each others rhythm. 1t
promises to be a "hug-me-tight" win
ter; but this of course bars the
"strangle-hold," except in the balmu-
sette.
The "Jimmska" gets its name
from Professor Jimmy of Marseilles
a graceful Greek and president OF
the International Choreographic I'm
ion 1t is really super-tango, with
pointed side-steps, little tapping Of
the toes and a difficult halfturn
which will have to be much prac
ticed.
A new five step, particularly diff
cult for beginners, but a charming
drawing-room dance, was voted the
best dance of the season, winning
the day by thirty-eight votes. II
was especially favored by the profes
sors of central Europe. Two long
steps, another two other long ones
then a short one and two other long
ones describe it. The 'Huppa-Hup
pa" came in for second place, g
Chilean dance, including a remark
able pose in which the dancer anC
his partner, both lean backward az
far as possible without losing theil
balance. 1t bears the label "Madt

Why Women Waste 10
Years of Their Lives
Putting on Clothes
(By a woman)

A statistician gives us very indi-
gestible food for thought when he
says women waste ten years of their
life putting on and taking off their
clothes.
Also, there's lot more in it than
that.
Nobody but a woman knows what
it is to be slave to the truly aw-
full tyranny of pretty clothes.
The putting on and taking off of
them is plaguy business enough,
but the wearing of them, the mend
ing of them, the forethought, fore
talk, and time expended on them
is worse
They put at least another ten
years on woman's life.
These gentlemen who, about the
year 1000 B. C. foresaw an over
crowded workaday world in which
men would compete with women to
the detriment of one or the other,
knew thing or two when they kid
ded their womenfolk to the tune of
Behold, you are more desirable in
our eyes when you are clothed in
purple and fine linen"
In other words, glad, uncomfort-
able. tyrannous rags.
Of course, the poor female simple
tons fell for it as bears fall for hon.
ey.
And ever since, like the meek, un
complaining dears that we are, we
have followed their pernicious pre-
cepts.
Pretty clothes!
What Indigestion, pasty complex
ions, irritable tempers, pneumonia,
discomfort, premature wrinkles and
actual misery are caused in their
name!
We wear silk stockings which are
cold in winter, an expense in sum-
mer, and ruck and get twisted and
ladder" just because men are ad-
dicted to calf and ankle love.
We wear hats of all sorts of abb
surd and uncomfortable shapes,
which give US headaches, impede our
vision, and overhead our scalp
We wear fur coats that rest like

are so cut that we can't raise our
hands above our shoulders, and in
which we can't walk farther than a
quarter of mile without being
tagged out.
And we spend hours and hours
threading ribbons through our thing.
amygibs, mending laces, darning
sewing on buttons, polishing our
shoes, and cleaning and dyeing and
washing and froning our pretty
clothes.
Up to date the only sensible gar.
ments yet invented are the knitted
frock and the sweater.
But women cannot dress by these
alone.
So we have to go floundering away
the best years of our life-years that
otherwise might be devoted to the
er-higher life, until someone arises
who can plan really comfortable, dur
able, fashionable, pretty, simple,
easy-going, outer, under and indoor
outfits, that will please the bishops,
the judges, the men, and the shop
keepers.
Then, of course, we shall absolute
ly refuse to wear them.
