GU|NAN 5 BODY

MISSING
Only Police Escore Marks Ar
rival Home; Brother Weeps at
Bier; Texas Lies in State

NEW YORK, Nov II Q.N.SJ {.
The crowds she loved so well
we're missing today when the body
of Texas Guinan, first hostess Of
night life, came back to her
Broadway.
If it had not been for the
police escort which accompanied
the body from the Pennsylvania
Station to a Broadway funeral
parlor nobody along the street
of white lights would have known
that Texas was back again.
Brother Weeps Alone
A small group of the curious
and those associated with her in
her heyday as a nightclub enter
tainer were at the station. The
group also included her lawyer.
her brother, William P. Guinan:
and "boy friends" of the As
chorus girls in the Guinan troupe.
Tommy Guinan, who brought
the body from Vancouver, where
his sister died, showed deep emo
ton. He wept alone.
Amid the hustle of chorus girls
carrying toy dolls and leading
miniature dogs, the remains of
Texas were efficiently transferred
to a hearse. She was in plain,
walnut casket draped with a
Silken white ribbon.
Later, in Broadway state, Texas
was in an expensive bronze cas-
ket in the gold room of the
funeral parlor. The public and
well-known theatrical figures be-
gan to dribble past the casket
to view the body of the Texas
cowgirl whose death marked the
passing of the prohibition era.
Suppressed Gaiety
TEXAS passed at the end of her
period. She said she was the
symbol Of suppressed conviviality
during the reign of the Eight
zenith Amendment. She believed
what she said.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternoon. It will be
late enough so that all of Broad
way can turn out.

Waves From Milky WAY.
From the Buffalo Evening News.

FROM the Buffalo evening news.
Scientists engaged in radio research
are hearing far and distant cries from
space. DR.. Karl G. Jansky OF the Bell
Telephone laboratories at Holmdel.
N. j., announces that he has caught
a new type of short wave which. he is
inclined to think. emanated from the
Hercules cluster Of the Milky Way, far
beyond our solar system.
Before the Institute of Radio Engi-
neers DR.. Jansky demonstrated that
the newly caught waves differ from any
form of pickup hitherto known. Un-
like the coSmic waves. which come
from all directions and do not vary
with season or time of day, these from
the heavenly galaxies appear to come.
he says, from one definite source and
vary greatly from time to time. They
are said to be of so low frequency
that they can be recorded only by the
most delicate instruments.
The world would like to know more
about these strange radio waves, which
appear to come from galaxy so far
distant that its light requires 10000
years to reach the earth. Perhaps the
Milky Way has some worthwhile pro-
grams to offer The people there may
chortle over newer jokes than Joe
Miller's book provides. They may have
survived crooners and gone on to some
thing better They may know how to
suppress such as Al Capone without re-
sorting to an income tax law. They
may never have had the infliction Of
statesmen and war debts. They may
even know how to avoid depressions.

Saving the Fleet.

Reconsideration of plan whereby
the economy program OF the Govern
ment would establish rotating" sys-
tenn for the fleet has checked that pro-
posal which would have laid up third
Of the Navy for six months at stretch,
in a condition which, according to eX-
perts, would have rendered them UNIT
to meet an emergency. The system. as
modified, will apply only to destroyers
and submarines, which are already
operating under the plan, and will not
apply to battleships. cruisers and air
craft carriers Furthermore, 1t is ndi-
Gated that the economy orders will be
50 amended that officers not required
for immediate service at sea or on shore
detail. in consequence OF the lessening
OF the active fleet, may be transferred
to other departments or the special
emergency activities of the Government.
In consequence Of this change of policy,
the special board established to deter
mine how best to reduce the personnel
Of the Navy has suspended its work
and there will be no wholesale reduc-
tions for the present, perhaps at any
time.
This is gratifying to those who
regard the Navy as the Nations first
line OF defense, and who have feared
that the drive for economy in all
branches Of the Government service
would seriously cripple 1t. The arbi-
trary establishment Of q. limit OF
S270,000 900 upon the naval expend-
itures during the next fiscal year, by
the Bureau OF the Budget, threatened
the reduction of the effective fleet and
its auXiliaries to a point far below the
line Of safety in preparedness. 1t would
have put the feet en- reserve status
which would leave the men unframed
and the ships In no condition to go
into battle.
Secretary Swanson says, in reference
to the change Of ORDERS: I'VE expect
to have the Navy in better condition
twelve months from now than 1t was
when We took it over" That may be
accepted as an assurance that there
will be no crippEng Of the naval estab-
lishment in the course Of the economic

A Righteous Judge.

From the Nashville Banner.
A Federal judge set an admirable ex-
ample the other day in sentencing to
the penitentiary four election inspectors
in New York, representing both parties.
who had conspired to make false re-
turn of the polls of last November.
The proof showed that they had
agreed to return figures different from
those registered on the machine. be-
lieving that there was practically no
chance that the returns would be
checked back. In this expectation,
however, they were grievously disap-
pointed, for the fraud was discovered.
an indictment followed, and strong
prosecution instituted. A verdict of
guilty was rendered and a sentence of
two years in jail, the severest, it is said,
for such an offense in New York, was
fixed by the judge.
OF course, election frauds have be-
come so common IN the United States,
in all parts of it, and in both parties,
that the culprits enjoy practical i'm
munity. Corruption of the ballot box
and the manipulation of the returns
are cancerous sore upon the body
polite of the nation. 1t pollutes the
fountains of government, debases
and often nullifies public opinion. But
incidents such as that witnessed in New
York will be rare indeed until the pub
lie conscience Is vitalized and public
opinion becomes aSsertive.
In the last analysis, it is the people
themselves who are most at fault. They
commit and condone the abuses and
display an indifference to their demor-
alizing effect upon the public service,
political parties and government itself
when 1t is easily In their power by
and determined action to ac-
complish the reforms which are becon-
Ing increasingly needfui.

Pedestrians on the Highways.

Progress sometimes works backward.
This is illustrated by the action Of the
Delaware Legislature in the passage OF
bill. which the Governor has signed.
forbidding all pedestrians on ANY i'm
proved hard-surfaced highway used for
motor traffic outside Of corporate limits
without carrying a lighted lantern,
flashlight or other similar reflector"
This is not designed to effect a COM
pulsory lighting of the way for the
walkers along the roads. but to protect
them from the vehicular trafic. In
olden times the wayfarer used lights to
keep him in the path. Under the new
Delaware law he must carry q lantern
or some other illuminant to afford q
warning to drivers.
The use Of the highways by pedes-
trians is fraught with peril, especially
at night. In New York State a law
has just been passed requiring those
walking on the roads at night to face
the traffic" which means TO use the
left side Of the road. In Pennsylvania.
Maryland Virginia and some other
States signs are displayed along the
lanes Of frequent travel advising pedes-
triars thus to keep on what used to be
known as the wrong side" of the high
way.
With the development of the high
ways as motor courses there has been
practically no care for the walkers,
and in only the rarest instances have
footways been provided. separated from
| the vehicular lanes. Strange as it may
seem to many drivers of cars. there Is
still considerable use of the legs for
transport. and the pedestrian undoubt-
edly has certain rights of which the law
has been negligent, especially in the
matter of giving him path of his own,
IN which he Is secure.
1t Is to be assumed that under the
Delaware law a person walking along

Zurich 22,9l7 persons with the proper
credentials for motoring, actually 2,700

to these there are 8,479 venturous in
dividuals authorized to operate motor

erations OF comfort and safety, Tor only
eight more persons In the course OF
whole year have been added to this
legion Of temerity.
As regards the tabulations for auto
mobiles, 1t Is interesting to note that
now nearly 10 per cent Of the drivers in
this canton are women. Their number
has ascended to 2,136. This means, OF
course. 2.136 women are licensed to be
actually at the wheel. We understand,
however. that 80 per cent OF the driving
is done by them. anyway. when they are

cyclists number only 10, but the deli

these machines femininely propelled
does not lessen to any great degree the
shock of impact.
While the index Of accidents in
creased somewhat last year, that is to
say, to 1852 from 1924 in the year
preceding. the number of those fatally
injured decreased by an inverted ratio

twelvemonth. Those deprived of the
right to drive for longer or shorter
periods during the past year, including
licenses permanently revoked. reached
the total of 272; of these II permits
were Cancelled on account of some
physical defect or disability, and the
remainder for driving while intoxicated.
While such measures seem to many
people severe. no censure should attach
to the traffic officials. who resort to
these extremes only in the supreme in
terests of public safety as we'll as for
the good Of the unfit motorists them

Dancing Children.

This is the season for dance recitals.
The public schools and numerous pri-
vate academies of Terpsichore are TAX
ing advantage of the Spring to demon
strate the degree Of skill and grace
which their pupils have acquired. 1t
seems right and proper that the vernal
spirit should have this expression. and
thousands of parents and grandparents
are reliving their own departed youth
in the spectacle of their children
dancing the age-old themes in manners
both ancient and new.
One of the first and certainly one OF
the most democratic Of the arts the
dance, has its sources in the glad ex-
uberance Of the rhythmic capacity Of
the human heart. Every soul born into
the world has the impulse to respond
in terms of movement to the sound OF
measured music. The primitive savage
shares the instinct with the heir Of all
the ages. The senses perceive the pulls
ing melody, as it ebbs and flows, rises
and falls, and the very blood in the
hearers veins stirs and throbs In ac-
acknowledgement of Its challenging spell.
To dance, then, is as natural as to eat
or sleep A boy or girl destitute of the
power to feel the charm would be alb
normally insensitive.
But for generations the dance art was
neglected. The ban of an unsympa-
thetic puritanism. reacting to a COM
the temple, banished it from the court,
exiled it from polite society. OF course,
such a prohibition could not prosper
indefinitely. The only question was as
to whether dancing should return as a
mere department Of theatrical enter
tainment or as great folk movement,
great eSthetic revival among the
people. As 1t happened number Of
more or less accidental developments
decided the issue. On the one. hand
there was the flight OF Anna Pavlova
from Russia to Paris, London and New
York; on the other there was the re-
discovery by Isadora Duncan OF the
compelling grandeur Of the Greek ideal.
Both were pioneers in their separate
fields. Now the fruits of their teaching
are common property: their methods
are employed without prejudice in
every school, and both their technique
and their theology have been supple
mented and improved by their disciples.
In their own time they were isolated;
today the whole world is filled with
dancing children who. probably with
out knowing 1t, are the beneticiaries Of
their genius.
The miracle in the circumstances is
the rapid pace Of progress which dane
ing has experienced since the close OF
the World War-that tragic lesson
which humanity had to learn that 1t
might more deeply appreciate the priv
ilege and the Joy of living. In Wash
ington in 1918 there were not ten
teachers worthy of the name; at pres
ent there must be at least q hundred.
Attendance at the recitals they are
sponsoring suggests that they are doing
excellent work. Their pupils are for
