CHINESE GOVERNMENT BANS DANCING
 AS SOURCE OF YOUTHFUL IMMORTALITY

Appeals to the government were futile and apparently Nanking must make the best of it, for the time being at least.
 Since Nanking was made the capital of China two and a half years ago, dancing had become very popular with the Chinese so- ciety leaders and every member
 f the smart set knew the latest ballroom steps
 General Liu Chi-Wen had most to do with popularizing dancing He was Mayor of the city when the Nationalists moved their govern ment in and being fond of danc- ing, granted dancing permits to hotels and restaurants that might not have been issued otherwise.
 His successor continued the prac- ticc Of issuing dance hall permits and for time everything was love ly Then came the decree from the National Government itself order ing the municipal authorities to abolish all dancing in the city.
 Too many young people were going astray, the order stated, add ing that dancing was largely to blame.

By MORRIS J. HARRIS

HAWKING, Dec. 29.-The society leaders of this city's chinese smart set are beginning to wonder what they can do with their spare time.
 Dancing, the most popular form of recreation in the national capital of China has been forbidden by the government on the ground that it tends to corrupt the morals of the young. With little else to do in the way of amusement, Chinese boys and girls are strictly up against it for some way to fill in their idle moments.
 The order forbidding dancing was instigated by a group of moralists who believed that anything western, even music, could do the younger generation of China no good. Nat urally it has caused plcnty of trou ble.
 Dancing girls were thrown out Of work and with the same field in Shanghai more or less over crowd cd they had no place to go. Hotel and dance hall proprietors were caught with heavy investments and high-priced Filipino orchestra on their hands and there was nothing they could do about it.

Today, after the lapse Of $50 years, Mount
Wesley is in q marvelously well preserved con-.
dftion. It is a roomy, two-story- and-attic frame
dwelling, with double-deck porch on front and
sides, added in recent years The weather
boarding is of boards of about 8 inches wide
and / inch thick, and beveled to make a close
joint. Every board seems just as sound now
as the day 1t was put in place-no rotten places
or varying appearing anyhere on the structure.
and the large Colonial chimney in the rear,
though never pointed up seems as good as the
day 1t was built. It Is really astonishing how
long these old residences win stand, and with
any sort of care. Mr.. Hazen told the writer
that the siding Of the building was Of heart
pine, and It certainly must be to have stood
up 20 well all these years.
7 AFTER in the afternoon we drove to an old
stone mansion close by, located in Fauquier
County, on what is known Is Teneriffe farm.
This Is picturesque old building with the
garden inclosed with q boulder fence, the stones
being gathered from nearby Not far from the
house is an outcropping Of stone, and 1t is quite
evident that the material used In building the
walls Of this old Colonial residence most likely
also came on the place. This Is now the coln-
try home of DR.. Z. NJ Colvin Of this city. Dur
ing the Civil War it was used IS headquarters
Of first the Union and then the Confederate
Armies, and while there Is no exact record Of
its age, 1t Is one Of the oldest houses In Eau
Quier County.

MOUNT WESLEY Is q very old building, as

erected, as near as can be ascertained from the
most careful research, about $780, by John Fitz-

connect him with the main branch Of the fam

ley, where Mr.. Hazen, our District surveyor,
was born, and where his father and grand
father lived before him.
It was beautiful Sunday afternoon: just
cool enough to make one think of rabbits, pos
sums and persimmons. Down to Centerville the
road was good all the way This is about 20
miles from Washington. From there to Manas-
sas, which is about more miles, is hard
drought Indeed on the way back, this stretch
had to be driven with caution, as the dust,
where travel was heavy, was as thick as a
heavy fog, and it was impossible to see car
coming in the other direction for more than
about 200 feet. It was q case OF relgiously
keeping to your own side Of the road. Ordi-
narily this could not be considered as . bad
road.
