THE LATEST HOPS
 SAVANNAH STOMP
Dance Is Creation Of Famous
 Ned Weyburn

Kansas City. Mo, April 20 (TP)- The American chorus gir! and the American tlapper have a new dance 10 learn. The Savannah Stomp is next.
 The dance IS the creation of Ned Wayburn, producer of musical ex- travaganzas and originator of many steps.
 As the sponsor Of negroid ten- dencies in dancing, Wayburn views the Savannah stomp as another edi- tion of the Charleston, but a newer, livelier and more fascinating diver sion.
 The Charleston and black bottom were inspired by the new freedom of life. thought and action of postwar days" Wayburn said. "The world war afforded the opportunity of ad- hitting certain negroid tendencies in art The revolution in mental pro- cesses brought on the demand for new things"
 In an interview today. Wayburn predicted the new dance would take the country by storm.
 "It is another edition Of the Charleston" he said. "The Charles ton will endure for a generation, but in new and changing forms. The black bottom was the second edition of it. The Savannah stomp will be the third.
 "In every way it is a more fascin- ating step than it's two predecessors.
 Like the Charleston and black bottom, the Savannah stomp IS in- spired by the reckless movements Of southern negroes dancing to "blues." a heritage of 1850 and the slave days.
 The Savannah stomp apparently has little regard for grace. There is no dancing on the toes. Leg move ments are similar to the Charleston, but feet are brought down flat. the toe and heel simultaneously.
 l. Is doubtful If a regiment Of cavalry marching across a ball room floor would create such a. ryhthmic racket as the stomp. It promises to be the noisiest of all dances,

Animals Once Held Sacred.

Ancient people in all parts of the
world have regarded certain animals
as sacred. In very early times some
animals seem to have been held in re-
ligious dread because of their great
might. Thus the wild bull, the lion
and the tiger have become sacred.
Later, the idea arose in some place
that the souls of men passed at death
into various animals.
For this reason many animals were
too sacred to be killed or used for
food. Often animals have been wor-
SHIPPED. 1t is in Egypt. perhaps, that
the relation of the gods and animals
has been most intimate. The statue
of the Egyptian animal gods that have
come down to us are exceedingly
strange. Often they are made with
the legs and body of a human being.
