federal government that a branch
of that government formally under
takes the extraordinary task of in
forming the public of one foreign
nation what the state of Massachu-
sets has done in the case of two
citizens of another nation.
I'VE cannot reconcile this action
with the repeated statements of the

Modern dancers are on q back

geny of dance mad moderns will
walk on all tours like a chimpanzee.
The Black Bottom is the most
serious threat to current styles OF
pedal locomotion, the professor said.
"As a matter of fact he con-
,inued, "the Charleston, the Black
Bottom, the Heebie Jeebies and the
rest of the Negro dances are un-
worthy of our civilization. They
really give some color of truth to
the Darwinian theory. There is a
reason for this. The anatomy OF a
Negro is not the same as ours. Inc
nose of the knees. the modelling Of
the hips, the line of the foot make
those dances all right for Negroes.
But instead of the vertical line,
which hitherto has been the normal
one for white. dancers. it is now
more and more the curved, getting
closer TO the horizontal. Even when
not dancing the habitues OF these
dances stand and walk that way.
They will end up by walking all day
