MILE-STEP AGAIN
 IS THREATENING
Revival of This Dance Type Worries Instructors

Kansas City, Nov. LP - While Arthur Murray and Ann Pennington are endeavoring to adapt the Black Bottom" for ball room use, Kansas City dancing masters are sorely tried over threatened return of the "one-mile- -one-step."
 Nearly a year ago the mile step made it's appearance Tn the public dance halls and all last winter its opponents whirled and sailed around the polished loops while the on- lockers shouted and chortled in sym pathetic gee.
 Really Marathon.
 The dance" was in reality mar athon affair. A track was formed on the floor by arranging a circle of chairs in the center Twenty couples were allowed to enter each race, running" and skipping" being barred. The young women were given seven tickets and small white cap, all labelled with a num- Der. When the starter gave the word the twenty showed off. shout ing and jostling in an effort to get the inside track.
 Each couple was required 10 re- verse the direction of it's "one-step- ping" every lap, to prevent dizziness. At the turn the young woman hand cd one of the tickets to the starter and the first one handing in all seven was declared the winner.
 Source of "BIack Bottom.'
 Kansas City dancing masters said the mile step" was not dance and refused to have much to do with 1t. The fox-trot and a modified Charleston are the popular dances at the hotel and grill rooms. Now and then couple will essay the Valencia and the New French Tango, but such innovations are transient. Orchestra leaders be- lieve the middle west will continue without the Black Bottom.'
 Along the Missouri river front, however. persons who should know declare that the Black Bottom is nothing but slightly refined adap- ton of the Deep Muddy" dance which was introduced into certain disreputable saloons about 1905.

 Dr. Curran said he was not aware when he took over his duties, that applicants were to be measured in their stocking feet, as candidates for insurance are measured with their shoes oh. He was given copy of the rules relative to appointment of policemen.
 Commissioner M. W. Bannan told Dr. Curran that men have been re- jected because their height was a fraction of an inch below tho re- auirement and 1t must be borne in mind that every applicant will be given equal treatment. Nobody should be passed by the examiner unless the requirements are com piled with, the commissioner said. Chairman Pajewski added that the board and the police surgeon should have a closer contact than they have had.
 Dr. Curran said he would re. examine one of the applicants who was rejected as he believes the man can meet the requirements as to height.

Holiday Hardware Sales
 Likely to Be Excellent

New York, Nov. 10.-Demand for holiday merchandise is beginning to assume large proportions in the tTn- portant hardware market centers. Hardware Age will say tomorrow in it's weekly hardware market sum- mary. Many dealers have already received shipments of gift lines and have them on display. The hardware trade generally predicts good Christmas trade. Orders to date on this class merchandise encourage this opinion.
 Staple lines show satisfactory ac- tivity throughout the country, with city and town business showing the greatest reported improvement. Fall lines are moving well. Cold weather in many sections has stimulated the movement of fall and winter hard ware. The collection situation shows little change. Prices generally are firm, with few competitive items showing small declines"

POLICE PENALnED
 FOR MISSING CALLS
But Discipline Committee Finds No Charge Against Bloomquist

Policeman Ernest Bloomquist, who was reported by Street Sergeant Michael Flynn for being in house on High street longer than the ser- geant thought necessary, was exon erated by the discipline committee in report to the board of police com missioners at the monthly meeting last night. The report stated that the sole reason the sergeant report ed the officer was that he believed the complaint that caused the latter to go into the house was 50 trivial 1t should have been attended to in much shorter period than the of- f1ccr took.
 Policeman James Sullivan was fined four days pay for failing to put in a duty call, the discipline committee feeling that he should be punished in view of the fact that he had committed the same offense be- fore. Policeman Vincenzo santucci was fined two days vacation for being late on a duty call.
 In the cases of supernumerary Policemen Gigliotti and Muszynski. the committee reported that no &C., ton was necessary, as the com plaints in both instances were of a minor nature. The scheduled hear ing on the case of Policeman John O'Keefe was not held because of the absence of Commissioner R. W. Chamberlain. A special meeting will probably be held to act on his case.
 Surgeon Urged to Be Careful
 Dr. F. R. Curran, police surgeon, attended the meeting by request of the commissioners and was notified that in the future great care must be exercised In measuring and weighing applicants for places in the department. Discrepancies were found in his reports of the physical examination Of two applicants and he explained that it Is possible he was careless and 1t is also possible that the scales at police headquar- tens, which were used to check up on his report, may be out of align

LOSS OF SLEEP
 SPEEDS UP BRAIN
But at Same Time Body
 Strength Dies Down

New York. Nov. 1o.-tR>-Loss ot sleep promotes rather than de- creases the efficiency of the brain' but takes 1t out on the body. 1t has been shown by recent experiments in the psychologists laboratory.
 Results of these experiments, started at Yale and carried on at Colgate university, are published in the current issue of Industrial psy- chology.. Colgate university depart ment of psychology publication. The article, by Donald A. Laird. head of the department, and William Wheeler, jr., of the college of physi- clans and surgeons, New York, tells concisely what 1t costs to lose sleep"
 Three young men and fifteen daily difficult multiplication prob lens were the primary materials of the experiment. Also included in the laboratory equipment were the alarm clocks waking the students after two hours less sleep than their habitual quota. a stop-watch to time their multiplication exercises, a mathematical expert to check their results for errors, and an ap- paratus measuring their oxygen consumption.
 It was found that while each yaung man did his sums from sev- eral seconds to more than a minute more quickly, and with no more mistakes on the shorter sleep ration, he used up from two to three times as much energy in the act.
 Answering the question: If the additional energy. burned due to the more severe conditions can be made up in food, why should the energy cost be considered?" the writers state:
 ''The analogy of the automobile will answer this. Using additional fuel the car be driven in low gear. The distance is covered, the added cost of gasoline is not enormous but the machine will not be in good condition after many miles have been travelled"
