Dance and Defy Age, Says Octogenarian

wars, Mime. Emrick has danced gratis.
1t is her one ambition now to dance
once again, for the last time in pub
lie, before what remains of the Civil
war veterans, for the Spanish-Ameri-
can veterans and for the American Le-
gion, all together.
She is sweet and gracious old
lady, this octogenarian, who still
teaches the dance to young and old
in her Mill Valley studio. She has
classes every day and is assisted by
her daughter, who was known to the
stage as "Clarissa, the Dancer" and
by her granddaughter, known as
"Georgine." Her two great-grandchil-
dren, Harvey and Helen Jean. are her
regular pupils.
And lest it be thought that Nine.
Emrick teaches only the graceful,
stately movements of bygone gener-
atoms, let it be emphasized that she
can tap dance with the best of them
and toddle wicked jazz number with
any Of the sheiks or shebas.
"The dance is part of the reli-
gion Of the body" declares Nine. En-
rick. IT call myself the priestess of
that religion which !, originated"
Nine. Emrick has trained scores
who have made mark upon the stage
and ballet. She was born in Fort
Madison, Iowa, in 1850. She first he
gan to teach the dance more than fifty
years ago in Portland, Ore.

Sam, Overcome in Bath,
Saved bv Census Taker

New York.-The flame under the
water heater in Sam Bianco's room
went out while Sam was taking a
bath. The room rapidly filed with gas
and in a short time Sam lost his
senses.
He was awakened when somebody
shook him vigorously.
"What's your name?" asked the
man who had saved Sans life.
"Sam Bianco," was the reply.
"Have you a radio?" the rescuer de-
manded.
The man who had walked into Sans
room just in time to turn off the gas
and open the windows was Morton
Kotzen, census enumeration.

Earth Loses SUMS Heat
Usually we think the earth is
kept warm by the sun. But most
of the heat given us by the sun
dissipates itself during the
night, and as half the earth is
dark while the sun shines on
the other half, there can be no
permanent accumulation from
the sun. The earth is really

VISITING THE

other clamors could be heard all
round. The women we're dressed in
their best clothes and rushed proud
ly from house to house to exhibit
them. ALI painted and powdered
and lipsticked. Even the old women
had their faces covered with rouge,
and frolicked around like 16-year-
olds, trying to vamp the men in
order to wheedle them out of some
of their pay day money.
Lucy Price flirted openly with
Ginger Linn while Slim Price flirt-
ed, though not quite so openly, with
".-irownskin." Slim feared his
wife's keen-cutting butcher knife.
Other men and women baited each
other in the same manner. Old
man Trouble stayed away, too. at
least in the early part of the even
ing.
Bear Creek camp has no jock
house-dance hall and gambling
dive-but the crowd always finds a
floo where it can dance to the
tunes made by Henry Robinson's
fiddle and Sam Markham's banjo.
The evening was frightened till
more by wedding-Buck Middle
ton, the boss of the camp, married
Bud Phillips and Sookie Keen by
reading few paragraphs from the
Saturday Evening Post. No license
was necessary. The crowd wnooped
and laughed, but gave no special in
dications that anything unusual in
the wedding ceremony was noticed.
"Skin"
The big feature of pay day at
Bear Creek, as at other camps, for
the men is "skin," game of cards
eminently suited to men who be-
lieve in jo-mo men and other forms
of voodoo manifestation. There is

it was never cleared into farms.
There are no gardens at Bear
Creek camp.
Bear Greek and other turpentine
camps are not collections of ents
as might be inferred-the living
quarters are dilapidated, ramShackle
box houses furnished by the owner
of the camp.
The last wages were paid about l
o'clock in the afternoon. While it
was going on white sick-and-acci-
dent insurance agents, and other
small-time installment collectors,
hung around with the tenacity of
fleas in sheepskins so they would
not miss their doles. A brown-skin-
ned girl who sold cosmetics-stuff
for Strengthening hair, lipsticks,
rouge, cold creams and perfumes
was on the job. She had been visit
ing the camp on pay day for some
time. The men folks called her
"BroWnSkin."

and women, boys and girls, went to

and the labcrers, all of whom are
colored except the main boss and
the foreman, are given trade checks
OF the commisary. This camp store
handles groceries, overalls, shirts,
and other vital necessities and the
tickets are punched as things are
bought. On pay day the balance
due is paid in cash. Goods are not
cLeap at the commissary-not n
your old-fashioned tintype-and a
man and woman with several chill
dren have to shave under the hide
if they have any coin due on pay
day.
Naturally not very much cash can
be expected, as the wages Of ordi-
nary labor is is SIPS day, or once
in while during eXtra-good times,
$3.50 This is the price paid gum
clippers, tree tappers and other
common labor Experienced still
helpers and teamsters sometimes

It is no wonder, therefore, that
pay day is the bright spot of the
month-the family pot and frying

land as promised In connection with
the Young plan M. BRAND had led his
countrymen to believe that Germany'S
immediate reaction would be one OF
gratitude and friendship toward France.
Meanwhile, Italy seems to have made
overtureS of an entente 10 Germany.
whose government, following DR.. Gustav
Stress mann'S death, had taken on a
Nationalist tone. Germany seems TO
have declined these overturGS, but at the
same time seeing as 1t thou yht, Frances
position weakened by the Franco-ItaIian
tension and the Franco-British break;
and also perhaps alarmed for the future
by an unexpected progress In the popu-
lation and stability of the new Polish
state-Germany made the evacuation
of the Rhineland an occasion not of
manifestations of friendship toward
France, but of hostility.
Evacuation of the Rhineland, which
freed Germany from any immediate
military menace, conceded, apparently,
with the fulfillmert of the so-called Won
Seeckt plan, under which Germany has
been secretly rearming, 1t is said, in
such way as now to have an effective
force of 100000 men at its disposal for
immediate use. (Gen. Won Seeckt was
once head of the Reichswehr)
BRAND Memorandum Issued.
In order to force Great Britain, Ger
many Italy and others to declare them
selves once for all and to make a choice
between peace on the present lines or
an indefinite period of disturbance,
France issued the BRAND memorandum
on European union. which, moreover,
France sincerely fayors. The German
government in its reply intinated that
Germany can join no such union unless
the frontiers are first revised Gott-
fried r. TreviranuS, German minister
for the occupied territories, has since
explicitly stated that Germany intends
to demand the return of the So-called
corridor from Poland.
These unexpected results of the evacu-
alton of the Rhineland have tended to
discredit M BRAND and his policies in
France. Feeling that Germany has
duped them through BRAND, the French
people seem to be tending rapidly to-
ward a sort of new self-reliant nation
alism. They are fortifying frontiers,
strengthening the navy, planning to re-
organize the army and are gathering
large gold reserves.
The little entente-indeed, the whole
French system OF alliances drawing
closer together Germany is on the
verge of elections, in which big Ma
tionalist and Communist gains are
feared, and at Geneva in September
Germany will probably formally raise
the question of revision of the from
tiers. This Is the present situation.

she copper consuming industries worked hard at finding substitutes for copper. Experiments were made. and successfully, with other cheaper metals that could be utilized instead of copper. The association of copper magnates, indeed, have been alarm ed at the use of such substitutes in manufacturing and though they may say there is nothing like the real article sundry manufacturers who have learned how to use the substi- tutes may be hard to convince. It is just barely possible that at least some of them may continue using the substitutes.
 The business of trying to milk the consumer through the exercise of monopoly usually ends badly.
