LOOK part Tn a )uDllC dance. Not that he doesn't care for dancing or that he holds aloof from anything public, but because he just didn't get there, that's all.
 e They say each generation is get ting weaker. Jf they are, the weak ones certainly do not show up at dances. At a recent dance held in town the fact was evident that to the strong belonged all the dances. One dance after another with the music alternating from medium to slow and then to double quick time. It takes a pretty fair stopper to keep in time. It isn't like the old en times. Everyone then danced in a like manner but now every fellow has his own idea of stepping and woe to the girl who does not pick up easily on the dance floor. If she has adopted one way of dancing she is lost. The a rage girl, providing she is what Is called good dancer can master more difficult steps than many of our stage performers who learn but one or two types of dances.
 There are the same number of wall flowers as in by-gone days but with many of them, 1t is a case of the girl desiring to dance with cer- tain young man and refusing anyone else who may ask. Unwittingly she Is putting herself in wrong with the boys she refuses as there may be other times WI en she would gladly dance with them if the opportunity presented itself.
 Then there are the young men who walk up and down the lines, sort of looking 'em over, as- you might say. We don't know what the qualifications should be but they do pass up some pretty nice girls. Of course they have their own ideals and cannot be blamed.
 But in spite of the fact that the young people of today are more blase, more carefree, they have a good time in their own way and are happy. After all, happiness sought after in the right way, is all that is needed to help the world go round and there is no crime in dancing when Is brings enjoyment.
 We have often wondered what a radio announcer thinks about as ne wearily applauds every selection sent out from his station. Desperately trying to keep his voice charged with energy while he is repeating to himself that never, never agalh is he going to take neighbors nome talent brew without a litmus paper test first, he stands applauding so- pranos. animal imitators, one-luhG orchestras and thousands of people who have at some time in thelr llc' been assured that they are poSltlVeIg q circus. If large and sleek tiger should creep up behind him during his introducing remarks and start gnawine on his right ankle, ne IS bound by his job not to break OH announcing "The Deliriously Joyous Roys, Ed and Elmer, who will enter tain YOU with few selections on the bass horn and steam calllope.
 An infection of that mythlcai truth serum that we heard so much about awhile back would pfobahly bring forth some announcements like this:
 Good evening folks (blah,) this IS station BZZV (you ought to Know that by this time-your set can get anything else) and we are all ready for our regular eVenlng pro- gram (and what a program IL ls' First on the list we have MISS Bertha Blurp, soprano, Cat least she still claims she is) who has peer : with us before (yes, all too oftfn' 1T facD.
