testifes to her spiritual exuberance.
Dancing Is freedom and she wants to
be free. Dancing is beauty and she
longs to be beautiful. Dancing Is life
ITSELF untrammeled and glorious, and
oh, she is so filled with the joy OF
living! 1t Is SO richly good to be alive!
All the primitive peoples Of the earth
dance. 1t is natural, ethnographists
ssy, that they should. Their bodies are
everything to them they represent all,
or nearly all. that they have. And
they know and feel that the body in
motion is art. The Egyptians early
brought the dance to high degree Of
technical perfection. The Greeks were
dancing race In China, Japan and
India the dance was recognized as an
expression of the soul. The American
Indians danced. Even the lost peoples
of the Kongo Basin developed their i'm
pulse into an art form Of powerful sig
nificance The dances Of the islanders
of the South Pacific were poetically i'm
pressive beyond the talent of words to
tell. In our time the dance genius
of the Siamese and the Balinese has
won universal acclaim.
1t has been said that nothing sur
wives that lacks functional value. Since
dancing is unoounted ages old, it fol-
lows that it is not only natural, but.
in some respects, necessary. Various in
terpretations are available, but the
obvious one, that 1t promotes health,
beauty and happiness, is enough. Even
dancing for its own sake may have
apology, if not excuse.
In any event, when an innocent child
speaks of wanting to dance the ambi-
ton is nothing to be alarmed about.
The notion that the devil is at the
bottom of the business is drastically un-
scientific. There are twenty-nine direct
references to dancing in the Bible and
not all of them are uncomplimentary.

To Dance.

If q little girl wants to dance, what
can be done about it? Time was when
parents, properly conscious OF their
responsibilities, were obliged to frown
upon such skittish ambition. But
that day is dead and fathers and
mothers smile upon their potential
PavloWas.
Is there anything lovelier than a
child dancing? Perhaps there may be
elsewhere, but hardly in this world.
Music and light, color and motion.
rhythm and harmony combine to make
the picture, and the painter is the
vibrant spirit Of youth In the small.
thrcbbing heart Of the dancer.

Pumpkin pie-with milk.
When YOU see city man with .
plate of pumpkin pie In front OF him,
f1anked by foaming glass OF cold mix,
YOU may be sure that he comes from
the country. :,
Only the countryman or the small
town man knows how to eat this great
est Of pies.
Not as the last course in q heavy
meal, but as the meal itself
So honored, the pie called pumpkin
leaves nothing to be desired.
y
He who insists on cramming down
slice, after full meal, will miss the
true flavor.
He will never know-indeed. he can
not know-the real simon-pure tang OF
the best pie.
Simple foods require simplicity in
their serving.
No diamond ever added to its luster
by placing itself with pearls.
There are complex dishes which need
the addition OF sauces and the like TO
bring out their fiavors, to build new
aromas, and to leave a sense Of mystery
in the mind of the consumer.
Pumpkin pie Is plain dish.
Its ingredients are few, and its ap-
pearance as plain as the white plate
upon which 1t is served.
Even here simplicity should reign.
The platter upon which right sort
of pie Is to be served must be as plain,
as open-faced. as the round OF Wand
itself.
Leave for other pies the decorated
charming story OF Wang and his
maiden.
When we have pumpkin pie, let US
have it on a plain white plate, If such
can be found any more,
The true pumpkin eater will realize
that the unadulterated taste OF this
! orange monster Is something to be cher
| ished, once it is found
1t is not always found.
| Squash and others, even sweet po-
tatOeS, masquerade as pumpkin on the
best tables.
Sometimes they do a very neat Job
too.
No one need sneer at properly made
squash pie. with sufficient spice added
and in the right proportion, to emulate
the genuine article.
II one Is not crlLlCAl III SuCu HldlteIS,
and is quite hungry, false pie may
taste quite as good, perhaps, as the real
| thing.
| The honest country boy, however, NO
matter how long he has been in the
city, no matter how much ashamed he
is when mud splashes on his white col
lar on a rainy day, will never be fooled
by these spice pics, as they ought to be
called.
/ 1t is possible to darken various sorts
| of filings with admixture of certain
| spices until the finest old grandmother
who ever baked pies would not be able
to tell them apart when it came to ap-
pearance.
One who knows cannot be fooled In
| the eating. One may have received the
fake article thousands Of times, in scores
of eating places, but just let one true
slice of the real thing be placed before
one, the old taste buds begin to rejoice
at once.
One must have been brought up or
pumpkin pie from the beginning.

SHOOTING STARS.

Next Conner.
We must patiently remember
There's a corner yet to turn.
Until early in November
Well have little left to learn.
We will travel and be singing
AS we hail the glorious date
Which new benefits is bringing
And it's not so long to wait.
No speeches will be brewing
Pro and con to thrill the land;
Once again we will be doing
Simple tasks that are at hand,
So there's nothing we are fearing.
AS the orators crate
We will greet them all with cheering
For it's not 50 long to wait.

Folly in England.

Irish Independent, Dublin.-Talk of
revolution in England was either stark,
staring folly or hopelessly impracticable
idealisn, declared Mr.. G. E. M. Joad, at
the I. L. p Summer School at Glossop.
Disaffliation from the Labor party
he said, was only justiiable if one
believed in revolution as the only
method of introducing Socialism. The
result of a revolutionary conflict in
England, if the country survived at all,
would be, not a working class, but a
Fascist government.

Health Certificates
Planned for Couples.
Ell Universal, Mexico, D. FIT Is very
likely that pre-nuptial certificate will
be required of all contemplating matri-
mony, If the department of public
health is successful in the complete en-
forcement of article 131 Of the sanitary
code. During the past five years inter-
esting data gathered by the department
have shown the importance of such
control and restrictions. and provided
justification for adherance to the letter
of the law as chief means of i'm
proving the mental and physical
efficiency of the population.
Article l3l Of the federal sanitary
code has character nominally obliga-
tory in every section of the republic. and
requires. in effect, a prescribed medical
declaration that both parties to matri-
monial contract are in proper health
both bodily and mental, before their
union can be ratified by the civil au-
thorities or solemnized by the spiritual

a part of the stipulations. and these
have been, until recently, the consider
ations which have most frequently frus-
trated full adherence to the provisions
as it was deemed preferable not to in
sist too strictly upon these qualiflca-
tions Of the contracting parties.
The department of health IS now con-
Nnced, however, that insistence upon
every detail of the code will promptly
show a greatly increased vigor and in
telligence in the offspring of the citi-
zenry. and that the benefits thus at
tainable justify measures, however stern
they may sometimes appear. before
marriages may be legally celebrated.

San Jose to Buy
Anti-ParaSitic Bath.


La Tribuna San Jose.-We are in
formed that the present city govern
ment is arranging to buy from Don
Marcelino Vargas the lot on which
more than four years ago the health
authorities constructed an anti-para-
site bath. The benefits of this bath
have never been fully appreciated, for
the reason that the pool and its ap-
purtenances were located on private
property, which deferred many people
from entering the inclosure of their
own volition, while the owner, on the
other hand, objected to the presence
of some who neither showed any re-
luctance nor needed parasitic bath
the least.
The installation was originally de-
vised for cattle, but such of the herders
as untintentionally accompanied their
charges into the waters noted such
sensible augmentation of their own
comfort that the resort soon became
very popular among these contingents.
We learn that there lacks only the
formal authorization of the executive
power in the matter of this purchase
for the sum of 800 colonies ($l98 at
par). This formality, there is every
assurance, will soon be observed, If
are taken into due account both the
necessity Of the project and the econ
omy OF the price.

attracting attention to the fiscal re-

wound would be likely to result. The
bullet struck the exact spot INTENDED
and the incident thus was productive
OF comparatively mild sensation
which called attention more to the cur

moters of this demonstration than to
the injury sustained by DR.. Luther. In
fact, to provide occasion for the trial, at
which the two confederates could vim
dicate their views, was the real purpose
of the plot. and in this respect their
plan was eminently successful.

south of our beginnings in Europe. We
are children Of middle Germany in its
professionalism, sweeping northward into
England and seizing upon the lronside
reformerS of that region. We came to
this country, protesting the rigors and
illiberalism of the old country. Here,
hard land and hard resistant mood
in spiritual restrictions, these combined
to shape life in the New World upon a
pattern of Puritan rigidity and of eco
nomic structures that left no room, for
long, long stretch of time, to give shelter
to the more kindly hours and warmer
hearts that underlie all true culture,
that must be the controlling force in
any lasting civilization. Hard to define,
those elusive elements that cultivate the
mind and spirit of man, lifting it far
above the material gains OF what is
known as progress. Is it education?
Yes, but it may be the education OF
beauty in the natural world, the edu-
cation of kindness to others, of gentle
manners and the withheld caustic COM
ment. It may be the education of pre-
ferring truth of fact to reports of ru-
NOR. It certainly is a growing love for
beautiful and immortal writings by
great genius worthily expended. 1t as
certainly is love for the highest art in
music, in architecture, In painting. Just
as truly is it appreciation and fellow
feeling for passing incident on the
street, bit Of human roughage, maybe:
scrap of human helplessness, possibly;
the picture, the living picture Of beauty

whose source is feeling, comprehension,
a sense of the pictorial, of the dramat-

civilization?
